What is Korean BB Glow Treatment?

Korean BB Glow Treatment

BB Glow is one of Korea's latest anti-aging beauty innovations. It is a semi-permanent face foundation. An injectable nutrient-rich, pigmented BB cream is securely injected into the epidermis of the skin using scientifically validated nano needle technology. It provides light to medium coverage to hide all imperfections.

What problems does the BB Glow Facial target?

Korean bb glow treatment may decrease:

• Discoloration (redness, blemishes, dark circles under the eyes, freckles, etc.)

• Acne scars

• Smile lines and wrinkles

• Big pores

• Dull dry skin

• It provides a whitening effect and improves the overall condition and appearance of the skin by increasing the production of collagen and elastin.

Who can go for BB Glow?

Those who are concerned about the above skin problems and want to improve their overall skin condition. However, the treatment has specific contraindications as it breaks down the surface of the skin and is accompanied by pigmentation.

For whom BB Glow is not apt?

The following situations are not appropriate for the BB Glow Facial due to its method of application and the pigmented serums used:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Undergoing cancer treatment

• Those who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, and active acne may get an infection.

• Prone to keloid scars

• Prone to cosmetics allergies

• Taking blood thinners

• Taking accutane

What are the benefits of BB Glow Treatment?

BB Glow instantly and completely evens out all blemishes and discolorations. It is a great way to get great skin for special occasions like weddings and birthdays.

BB Glow is not only great at camouflaging facial imperfections, but it also hydrates skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, reduces dark circles, and reduces blackheads and clogged pores.

Rosacea sufferers can use BB Glow to cover up redness and damaged capillaries. BB Glow won't wash or rub off. So you can sweat, shower, and swim. At the end of the day, you'll have flawless, glowing skin.

BB glow is also good for your skin. BB cream is packed with anti-aging ingredients, vitamins, and antioxidants to keep your skin looking healthy and youthful. Because the pigment in BB Glow lives on the skin and not in the pores, it does not clog pores or create outbreaks. BB Glow safely hides imperfections and guarantees flawless skin.

How does the BB Glow treatment work?

Basically, the BB Glow Facial is a micro/nanoneedle with the extra step of applying a pigmented serum. This is a complex treatment that is performed in several stages.

Step 1 - Cleaning

Since the surface of the skin is damaged, the face should be kept free of bacteria, dirt, cosmetics, and skin care residue.

So the first step is to cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser.

Step 2 - Exfoliating gel

Then a gentle chemical peel is performed. It removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and enhances the absorption of products used in the next step.

The gel is usually applied with a brush and does not need to be massaged. Leave the gel on for a few minutes, depending on sensitivity and skin type.

• Sensitive skin - up to 2 minutes

• Normal skin - up to 3 minutes

• Oily skin - up to 5 minutes

Step 3 - Neutralization Solution

Rinsing off the chemical peeling gel is not enough. To stop its action, it must be neutralized. Leaving it on for too long can damage your skin. Therefore, the neutralization solution is foamed to stop the chemical reaction.

Step 4 - Apply BB Booster

Then it's time for the first round of micro/nano needling.

This step applies a serum that treats various skin problems. There are a wide range of serums that can target specific conditions as well as work together to improve overall skin conditions.

The technicians will assess your skin condition and select the serum that best suits your needs.

The serum is applied with a derma pen.

Step 5 - Apply BB Glow Serum

Finally, it's time to apply the tinted serum. The serum comes in several shades. Most faces use the Serum 1 Shade Light, but you can use darker shades to contour your face, and there are even rosy serums that mimic the look of blush. Essentially, a semi-permanent foundation replicates the look of some makeup products on your complexion. Drops of the tinted serum are spread across the face and applied to the skin with the same micro/nano needle device.

Step 6 - Nourishing mask

The final step is a hydrating sheet mask to soothe the skin after the treatment and provide additional nutrients and moisture.

That's all! You can book your next session 2-4 weeks later.

Is the BB glow facial painful?

No.

Since the advent of nanoneedle devices, most beauty techs have switched from microneedle pens to thinner versions. The tip of the ultra-fine needle of the nanoneedle pen is so fine that it is small enough not to scratch. In addition to their fine diameter, they penetrate the skin very shallowly.

Nanoneedle penetration is painless. A tingling sensation, or at best a very slight stinging sensation.

Some customers report that the exfoliating gel was the most uncomfortable part of the treatment, but even that is mild pain.

BB glow care: Does the BB Glow Facial Treatment require a follow-up treatment?

Yes, because the skin is delicate and susceptible to infection until it heals, but it's very simple. Here are the BBglow aftercare rules:

• Keep your face dry (no washing and no sweating) for at least 24 hours.

• After 24 hours, wash your face with lukewarm water and mild soap for several days (avoid harsh products).

• No makeup for at least 2 days

• No swimming for 7 days

• Avoid exposure to sunlight for several days. Then wear SPF when going out

• Avoid facials and aggressive skin care for at least two weeks.

• Do not take vitamin C or retinol for at least 8 weeks (these can increase hyperpigmentation)

How BB Glow Improves Skin:

The micro/nanoneedle technology itself stimulates collagen and elastin production - the tiny pores in the skin regenerate, making it look firmer, firmer, and fuller. Special serums target specific skin problems. There are ones that are general and offer nutrition and intense hydration, as well as ones with particular formulae made to lessen acne scars, lines, and wrinkles.

The skin's surface layer is implanted with the pigment using a colored serum, completing the skin's tone and integrating the discolored area into the surrounding skin.

Conclusion

BB Glow is designed to act as a semi-permanent foundation. It serves both as a treatment to perfect skin texture and as a form of pigmentation to even out skin tone.

The ultimate effect is enhanced skin quality and texture, a more even, radiant complexion with reduced discoloration.
