Many Russian stars are delighted with him. But is it really that safe?
It seems that the dreams of millions have come true – now you can wake up every day with an even tone of face and not worry about dullness. Recently, beauty experts from South Korea created the BB Glow procedure in order to lighten the skin tone of girls. You probably know that most Asian women dream of porcelain skin, so they use not only whitening products every day, but also apply a light-colored foundation on their face. With the same procedure, they forget about complex manipulations.
According to experts, this procedure provides a perfect coverage that will not wash off for a whole year. But is it that simple?
How is the procedure done
This is a minimally invasive procedure that only affects the upper layers of the skin. The cosmetologist makes a cocktail with tonal particles and injects it into the skin using a special dermapen machine. The composition also contains medicinal extracts that visibly moisturize the skin and reduce expression wrinkles, so that in addition to the ideal tone, the face will become young.
According to experts, the technique is absolutely painless and does not injure the skin.
The effect lasts for a year, but …
In order not to apply foundation in the morning and not to mask skin imperfections for a whole year, you will have to do several procedures. The effect of this technique is cumulative, and you need to come to the cosmetologist three or four times, and the result will begin to appear only after the second visit.
Several pluses
First, this treatment will not clog your pores compared to using foundation every day. Secondly, the technique has a minimal number of contraindications, for example, pregnancy, skin diseases and diabetes.
Some cosmetologists claim that BB Glow is perfect for girls with post-acne, as it will hide traces of inflammation. If you have a rash at the moment, the specialist will bypass these areas.
Doctor’s opinion
Dermatovenereologist, cosmetologist, member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, chief physician of the Estelab clinic. Founder of the company “Beautiful face always”. International permanent makeup coach with experience since 1997.
– For 20 years of my practice in permanent makeup, camouflage of aesthetic imperfections, such as scars, areolas, defects in the shape of lips and eyebrows, have always occupied the lion’s share of clinical cases. But I have always been against the camouflage of healthy skin.
Many believe that BB Glow has a temporary effect. But this is not true. Because the pigments for this procedure include titanium oxide, which remains in the skin for life.
In addition, the color of the pigment will change over time, acquiring other shades, and will require constant correction.
In any case, this technique involves the introduction of pigment into the dermal layers (in the deeper layers of the skin). If the pigment remains in a more superficial layer (in the epidermis), then the effect of the procedure would pass in 28-30 days.
In addition, a person who decides on this procedure will never be able to do laser procedures, for example, improving complexion and rejuvenation, because pigment particles will be a target for these types of lasers and phototherapy devices.
