BBL Photofacial

Avoid sun exposure and do not use tanning beds for at least 4-6 weeks before and throughout the course of treatments.

Avoid self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before treatment on the face, and at least 3-4 weeks before treatment on the body.

Skin that is tan, sunburned, or has self-tanner present will not be treated, as this increases the risk of adverse reactions.

Do not proceed with treatment if you have sunburn, active skin infections, open lesions, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, or irritation in the treatment area.

Contact your studio to cancel or delay your appointment if you have an active cold sore, even if the cold sore is not in the planned treatment area.

Inform your provider if you:
· Are pregnant
· Have a history of light-induced seizures, e.g., epilepsy
· Have used Accutane®/isotretinoin within the past 12 months
· Experience migraine headaches that are triggered by flashing lights.
· Have autoimmune conditions, medical conditions, or take medications that affect healing or cause bruising.
· Have a history of hyperpigmentation or scarring

Clients must be willing to avoid prolonged sun exposure and extreme heat during the entire course of treatment and for 4–6 weeks after each session.

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and assessed, and protective eyewear will be applied.

A cooling gel is applied to protect the skin and enhance comfort.

The Provider will use the BBL handpiece to deliver controlled flashes of light to the skin using a customized, multi-pass approach.

You may feel warmth or a snapping sensation during treatment. Discomfort is minimal and is generally well tolerated.

Treatment time varies by area but typically lasts 30–60 minutes.

After treatment, soothing skincare and sun protection products are applied.
