BBL HERO™ in Albany, OR
BBL® HERO™ Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. Avoid direct sun exposure and outdoor activities like beach trips or sunbathing for 14 days before treatment.
- Inform your clinician if you have taken Accutane in the last six months.
- Disclose any medical conditions or medications that might sensitize you to light, affect wound healing, or alter coagulation.
BBL® HERO™ Post-Treatment Instructions
- The procedure typically has no downtime; most work and makeup application activities can be resumed immediately.
- Some redness may occur in the treatment area but should resolve within a few hours.
- Expect possible darkening of pigmented spots, which should fade and flake off later.
- Follow the clinician's aftercare plan until the skin is completely healed, typically within a week for facial skin and slightly longer for body skin.
- Using soft patting motions, your skin should be cleansed twice a day with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser.
- Apply moisturizer generously over the treated area as needed to prevent dryness.
- Continue using sunscreen daily; reapply during prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Wear protective clothing like wide-brimmed hats to prevent sunburn, blistering, and pigmentation changes.
- Use soft towels and washcloths to avoid scrubbing the treated area.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and conditions that induce sweating until the skin has fully healed.
- Use cold compresses or ice packs if the treated area feels unusually warm within the first 12 hours post-treatment.
- Apply Vitamin E or Aloe Vera for soothing effects if there is redness or swelling.
- Contact your clinician immediately if you experience broken skin or blistering; keep the area moist and shielded from sunlight.
