How does BB Glow create a make-up-like glow?
The BB serum is tinted, in shades chosen to match your skin. Your doctor glides a microneedling pen with very short needles over your face, opening tiny channels in the surface, and works the serum in so a sheer layer of colour stays behind, like a light BB cream.
Because the tint sits only in the outer skin, it wears away as your skin renews, so the effect is temporary. There is no FDA approval for putting colour pigments into skin, or for microneedling to deliver cosmetics. Your doctor talks you through this before you decide.
Who shouldn’t have BB Glow?
Skip BB Glow if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active spots, a rash, a cold sore or broken skin, tend to scar or form keloids, or get dark marks easily after a spot or scratch. A patch test always comes first.
BB Glow for a make-up-free look, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin and matches the tint shade to you.
- Patch test: a small area is tried first to check how your skin reacts.
- Treatment: after numbing cream, the pen and tinted serum take about 45–60 minutes.
- Build-up: three to five sessions, one to two weeks apart, deepen the glow.
- Top-up: only if you want the tint back once it has faded.
Results and recovery
You leave the first visit with dewier, more even skin, and the glow deepens with each session. That fresh, made-up look then lasts for months before the tint fades, sometimes up to about six, though this varies from person to person.
Expect pinkness and slight tenderness for a day or two. Less often, the skin reacts to the serum or the tint fades unevenly, so tell us straight away about lasting redness, lumps or patches.
