Frequently asked questions
What is involved in the treatment?
A thorough consultation will initially be conducted to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
Once a cleanse and prepping of the skin is complete, your eyes will be protected with safety goggles or eye shields. A cool gel will then be applied to the area being treated. Then, a chilled applicator is placed on the skin to deliver the light energy. Some areas on the skin will be more sensitive than others, however most clients report the sensation feels like a “warm flick” or “rubber band snap” to the skin. The treatment will take 15 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
What happens after my treatment?
It is very important to avoid direct sun exposure 30 days prior and 30 days after your treatment. In some cases, a topical serum to inhibit the production of melanin is required to ensure your skin is in optimal condition to treat. Fake tan cannot be used three weeks before treatment otherwise light can be attracted to it and burning can occur.
Initially after the treatment you may experience some redness and a warmth to the skin, some clients describe this sensation like a mild sunburn, this generally resolves in a few hours. In most cases you are able to apply makeup and resume most of your activities immediately. However, you must avoid excessive exercise, hot showers or saunas and direct sun exposure.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatments needed and how your result last varies on each individual. This can depend on a range of factors such as; skin condition, time spent outdoors, hormonal medications and medical conditions.
At your initial consultation a personalised treatment plan will be provided, however this can change depending on your skin response to the treatment.
How does it work?
BBL sends light energy which gets converted into heat when reaching top layers of the skin, this gently heats the skins tissue. A series of infra-red pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results.
