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.
