After your BBL treatment, your skin may be slightly red. The redness commonly lasts for a few hours after the treatment, sometimes longer, but is a common response to the treatment. Over the next few days, you will notice sun spots, freckles, age spots, or other areas of hyperpigmentation gradually getting darker. The darkened pigmentation will rise to the skin’s surface and will begin to flake off for up to seven days before disappearing. Because this is a non-ablative treatment, you can use makeup to camouflage your skin during this time.
