BB Glow
BB Glow is the latest cosmetic trend originating from South Korea. It’s a semi-permanent foundation facial that uses a powerful tinted serum and is applied using a microneedling method, boosting collagen production. The BB serum contains anti-aging ingredients, antioxidants, and vitamins and is safely applied to the epidermis of the skin by a special Derma Pen using nano-needling technology.
BB Glow is designed to improve the look and feel of your skin fast by restoring your skin’s youthful glow and even skin tone, camouflaging the appearance of acne scars, freckles, and fine lines/wrinkles, and bringing out the natural beauty of your skin promoting long term anti-aging benefits. You will see results immediately, but 3-5 sessions are recommended for full results. (A super-glow is recommended as your first treatment to start the series.)
BB Glow is a semi-permanent skin treatment involving microneedling a pigment serum into the epidermis layer of your skin. The result is a brightening and balancing of your skin’s tone and overall radiant complexion. It provides the most immediate visual benefits than any other facial treatment, with instant, long-lasting coverage and an evening of your skin tone. The BB Glow method is a safe and not invasive technique that provides glowing skin to each client. It combines the efficiency of nano needling with the result of semi-permanent makeup.
Dermaplane + BB Glow = Super-Glow
A Super-Glow is a combination of a dermaplane and a BB Glow facial. This helps provide the best BB Glow results by exfoliating the skin first and removing dead skin cells before microneedling a semi-permanent tinted serum into the epidermis of the skin. Recommended as your first BB Glow treatment to start the series. LED light therapy included.
What Are the Advantages of a BB Glow Treatment?
BB Glow is not only great at covering skin discoloration, but it will also hydrate and improve tone and texture. Because it’s done with microneedling technology, it encourages your skin to regenerate naturally and produce more collagen, which improves fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is safe, and the BB serum is free of parabens, fragrances, and allergens. The treatment has no pain or downtime, so you can resume your routine as soon as you finish. You’ll see results immediately, but the serum will also continue to work for two weeks after your treatment. Many clients repeat the treatment two or three times to maximize its effectiveness.
How Long Does BB Glow Treatment Last?
With the right number of treatments and proper aftercare, BB Glow treatment can last up to half a year. The coverage you want ultimately depends on how many treatments you have. Maintaining your BB Glow will depend on your skin, but usually, every 4-6 months, you will need to come in for a touch-up.
When Will I See Results?
You will see immediate results with BB Glow. To get more coverage, you will need a minimum of three treatments. The first treatment is the base layer, and we build upon that. The more treatments, the more coverage you will see. To maintain the BB glow, it is recommended that you come back for one treatment every 4-6 months.
How Many Treatments Are Needed for BB Glow Facial?
After just 1-2 sessions, you’ll be able to see instant results. To maximize results, we recommend 3-5 treatments once every 2-4 weeks. With proper care and maintenance, results can last up to six months after all of the recommended sessions are completed.
Is Sunscreen Necessary After BB Glow Treatment?
Yes, wearing sunscreen is necessary after the treatment. In fact, it is suggested to stay away from direct heat and sunlight during the first 72 hours of the treatment. You should avoid swimming or sweating during the first 72 hours.
Does BB Glow Treatment Hurt?
Unlike other procedures, BB Glow is not painful. You do not need time to recover as you are good to carry on with your daily routine right after the treatment. This is because of the advanced technology used for this treatment. It uses microneedles that can barely be felt and can offer instant results without the pain.
What Should I Do Post-Treatment?
Your aesthetician should give you a complete post-treatment guide. However, in general, you will be asked to stay indoors in a cool place and not expose yourself to heat and humidity. You should also wash your face with plain water and apply the prescribed serum and lotion. You may be recommended to not use a cleanser or use a soap-free cleanser. Keeping your skin hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet can make this semi-permanent treatment last long and look like new.
Are There Side Effects?
Side effects are very rare when done by a certified professional. Potential side effects are minor and can include some pain, redness, pinpoint bleeding, temporary hyperpigmentation, and infection. Every effort is made to reduce these effects using one-time-use-only products and tools and an excellent disinfection routine. The pigments are paraben, fragrance, alcohol, and allergen-free.
Is BB Glow Safe?
BB Glow is very safe. It uses nanoneedle technology and does not go deep into the dermis layer of the skin. The BB pigments are free of parabens, fragrances, and allergens. The serums are made with all-natural ingredients to improve the look and feel of your skin immediately.
What BB Glow Serum Do You Use?

How Is BB Glow Done?
After cleansing and exfoliating your skin, it will be microneedled at a cosmetic depth with the hyaluronic peptide serum that will encourage hydration, regeneration, and collagen production. Next, a tinted pigment serum is nanoneedled into the skin, and then a mask is applied over the tint to keep it moist and continue the absorption process. Lastly, a peptide repair serum is applied to restore and soothe the treated area. Like BB cream, BB Glow leaves your skin smooth and evenly toned with a healthy glow.
