BBL HERO photofacial can treat any area of the body, including your face, neck, chest, arms, hands, back, belly, legs and buttocks. Anywhere you are looking to clear away uneven skin tone, small veins, redness or acne is ideal for a photofacial treatment.
Immediately following your photofacial, your treated skin may feel tight and appear red. This redness will subside in the hours following your session. Your side effects will depend on the concerns you are treating. For example, if you are targeting brown spots and freckles, they will first darken before flaking off in the week following your treatment. If you are treating redness or rosacea, your skin may turn darker red before it fades away. Small veins may also appear darker before gradually fading from view. Keep in mind that there is no downtime with a photofacial because it doesn’t break the skin. You can easily cover up any redness or side effects with makeup until your skin fully renews itself within the week.
You should start to notice clearer, more evenly toned skin within a week or two following your treatment. Since BBL HERO photofacial stimulates new collagen and elastin growth from deep within your skin, you should continue to notice improvements in the months following your treatment.
For your best results and benefits that last, we recommend undergoing a series of at least three photofacials to reach your desired goal initially. From that point on, we recommend undergoing periodic maintenance treatments to keep your skin renewal going strong. The great thing about photofacials is that they are super healthy for your skin because they stimulate new collagen and elastin, so the more you do, the better your skin will look and feel! You really can’t go wrong incorporating routine photofacials into your skin care routine.
Photofacials are suitable for several skin types, including Fitzpatrick scale 1-3 skin tones. If you have a darker skin tone, you may benefit from chemical peels, which afford many of the same skin renewing benefits as a photofacial. During your personal consultation, we will help you design a skin care regimen that meets your unique skin care needs and goals.
