What Is BB Glow Treatment?
BB Glow is a semi-permanent skin-enhancing treatment that uses microneedling to infuse tinted serums containing peptides, vitamins, and skin-brightening ingredients into the upper layers of the skin.
It creates the effect of a light foundation, giving your complexion a more even tone, improved radiance, and a natural-looking glow — without makeup.
It is popular for reducing pigmentation, fading blemishes, and achieving a healthy, dewy finish.
How BB Glow Works
Using a microneedling device at a shallow depth, a customised blend of tinted and nourishing serums is gently infused into the skin.
The process works by:
- Stimulating collagen production
- Enhancing skin’s luminosity
- Reducing pigmentation and discoloration
- Providing a sheer, natural tint
- Improving overall hydration and texture
The treatment does not tattoo pigment. Instead, it deposits breathable tinted peptides that gradually fade over time.

Who Is This Treatment For?
BB Glow is ideal for clients who want:
- A brighter, more radiant complexion
- Reduced redness or blotchiness

It is especially popular for those who prefer a low-maintenance, minimal-makeup routine.
Treatment Duration
A standard session lasts 45–60 minutes, including cleansing, exfoliation, microneedling, and serum infusion.
Results & Longevity
After the first session, skin appears more even, hydrated, and luminous.
For best results, most clients complete a course of 2–4 sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart.
The tinted effect typically lasts 2–4 months, depending on skin type and aftercare.
Downtime & Sensations
Downtime is minimal.
You may experience slight redness or tightness for 12–24 hours following the treatment, similar to light microneedling.
Aftercare Advice
- Avoid washing your face for 12 hours
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours
- Avoid saunas, swimming, and heavy exercise for 24–48 hours
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare for the next few days
- Avoid active exfoliants and retinol for 5–7 days
- Apply SPF daily to maintain results and protect the skin
