Proper aftercare following your BBL Hero treatment is crucial for a comfortable recovery and optimal skin rejuvenation results. Here’s what to expect and how to care for your skin:
Immediately After Treatment
- Redness and Mild Swelling: It’s normal to experience temporary redness and slight swelling in the treated area. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Cool Compresses: Apply cool compresses or ice packs wrapped in a soft cloth for 10-15 minutes at a time to soothe any discomfort.
- Gentle Skincare: Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers recommended by your practitioner at House of Aesthetics.
The First Few Days
- Sun Protection: Rigorous sun protection is essential. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Postpone the use of retinol, exfoliants, or other potentially irritating skincare products until your skin has fully healed.
- Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to support the healing process.
As Your Skin Heals
- Darkening of Pigment: Age spots and other pigmented areas may darken initially; this is a sign the treatment is working. They will flake off over the following week or two.
- Follow-up: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments at House of Aesthetics to monitor your progress.
