BBL HEROic Pre + Post Treatment Instructions

Pre Treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least one week before treatment. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and protective clothing

  • Inform your BBL clinician if any physician has ordered Accutane for you in the last 6 months.

  • Inform your doctor of any medical conditions or medications you are taking that might sensitize you to light, affect wound healing or affect coagulation.

Post Treatment

  • You may experience some redness in the treatment area that should resolve within a few hours.

  • You may notice darkening of your pigmented spots, followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage.

  • Follow your clinician’s aftercare plan until skin is completely healed – typically one week after the treatment. The skin on your body might take longer to heal, compared to your face.

  • While the skin is healing, avoid anything that will irritate the skin, such as exfoliants, shaving, too hot or too cold water and swimming pools and spas with multiple chemicals/chlorine.

  • There is virtually no downtime after this non-invasive and gentle procedure. In most cases, you are able to apply make-up, return to work and resume most of your activities immediately.
