FAQs
The number of treatments necessary for achieving the desired outcome will vary depending upon the concerns being treated. To treat brown spots, we typically recommend a series of three to four treatments spaced four weeks apart. If a patient is being treated for redness, such as rosacea, we typically suggest ongoing treatments to aide in managing the condition. If the BBL treatment is for acne, six to eight treatments are recommended, spaced one to two weeks apart. Your aesthetician will discuss your condition and recommended treatment plan with you at your initial consultation visit.
Results from BBL are best maintained when incorporating good skin care regimen and limiting sun exposure. During your in-depth consultation, we will discuss how to care for your skin before, during, and after your treatment to ensure that best results are achieved. Investing in the health of your skin includes using quality skincare, avoiding peak hour sun exposure, and following good lifestyle choices.
BBL treatment is often used on the face, but can also be used on other areas of the body, including hands, neck, and chest.
