What does this treatment cost?

BB Glow is a semi-permanent foundation for your face that uses scientifically proven nano needling and microneedling to safely infuse nutrient-rich tinted serums onto the top layer of the skin. It is completely safe and plant based. One of the main benefits of micro-needling is the stimulation of natural collagen production, which is amazing for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation, together with the BB Glow serums, it aids incredible skin nutrients and most importantly helps to improve uneven skin tone and lightens and brightens. This treatment will provide a light to medium coverage to camouflage facial imperfections such as- Hyper-pigmentation, Redness, Dark circles, Large pores and Freckles.  

• Non invasive 
• Little to no downtime for most skin types 
• Improves skin texture and tone 
• Stimulates collagen and elastin 
• Gives a soft coverage to your skin like BB cream

You will notice a difference after the first session however, we recommend a series of 3 initial treatments spaced once every 1-2 weeks in order to build up a better coverage and make the results last. Additional treatments will lead to an increased longevity and enhanced coverage. After your series of 3 treatments we reccomend coming in every 6-8 weeks for a maintenance top up as your skin cells are always turning over and renewing. Results can last up to 4-6 months! 

Skin needling creates trauma to the skin and then your skin cells begin to remodel themselves from the inside out- creating new blood supply, collagen, elastin- smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, improving tone and texture, fading scars and pigmentation and hydrating the skin.

BB Glow can be performed on most skin types and has a very low risk of irritation and complications. 

BB Glow isn't reccomended for the following persons-

• Undergoing cancer treatments
• Suffering from infection 
• Taking Roaccuatane
• Severe cystic acne

The tips of the tiny needles on a microoneedling pen are extremely thin, and as such, the cuts made are so tiny they don’t hurt. On top of their microscopic diameter, they penetrate the skin very shallowly to allow the pigment to be visable at the surface of the skin.  The penetration of the nano needles does not hurt, most clients find it extremely relaxing and even fall asleep.

The BB glow is essentially buffed into the top layers of the skin and your skin cells turn over every 30 days so it is impossible for the BB glow to have any long term side effects. Also, all the BB Glow serums are free of parabens, fragrances, alcohol and allergens. The most popular and most well-known brand is Stayve and Dr Drawing, which is what we use in salon.

The BB Glow Serum has the contains the following and more- Hydralised Collagen, Copper Tri Peptides , Beta Glucan, Hyaluronic Acid and Naicinamide (all amazing for the skin!) The BB glow serum is also free from parabens, fragrances, alcohol and allergens.

BB Glow has very little downtime! You may have some very slight redness (if any) initially after the treatment which should reside within the hour. Your skin should instantly glow straight after the treatment, meaning you can return to normal activities straight away. The only things you need to be mindful of is to avoid submerging your face in water for 24 hours to allow the BB Glow to absorb into the skin,. For 72 hours you also need to avoid using products that contain Vitamin A, Glycolic/Lactic Acids or anything that will be removing any dead skin in which the pigment is sitting in.

We can add on Dermaplaning or Microdermabrasion at the beginning of your BB Glow Treatment for $40.

We recommend starting your series of BB Glow Treatments with a Microdermabrasion or Dermaplaning as these treatments are removing the build up of dead skin, dirt and debris to give us a clean and fresh canvas to begin the treatment on. Because the BB Glow is sitting on the top layers of skin, it is great to remove the dead layers of skin before applying the serum so it lasts longer and the colour isn't shedding off in the dead layers.   The Dermaplaning also has amazing benefits when it comes to product absorption. By removing the peach fuzz and dead layers of skin it increases the BB Glow absorption level from 8% to 80%, allowing your skin to soak up these amazing nutrients and for the BB Glow to sit better in the skin.
