However, one recently undergone treatment has certainly got the social a-buzz… So, let’s delve behind the scenes of the much talked about “secret” photofacial technique that’s created mucho interest and that you might be interested in learning more about.

Revealed! Kim Kardashian’s Secret is a BBL Photofacial

What is a BBL photofacial, exactly?

A BBL photofacial—or to use its correct name, a BroadBand Light photofacial—is very different from other laser treatments. In fact, contrary to popular belief, it’s not even a laser treatment at all…

Instead of using a laser to target skin issues, the process uses pulses of light waves that span a broad spectrum, each of which can be filtered to target different skin problems. It also can be used on larger areas than a regular laser and is commonly used to treat:

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and other skin conditions (including rosacea)
  • Sun damage and sunspots
  • Spider veins
  • Birthmarks
  • Freckles
  • Aging skin—including fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots

The clinician can customize the settings, meaning that no two BBL photofacials are the same. This makes it truly the gold standard when it comes to targeting your particular needs and genuinely improving the quality of your skin.

Would I benefit from Kim Kardashian’s secret photofacial technique?

A BBL photofacial is suitable for lighter skin tones on people of all ages. However, it’s not a treatment for those with more color in the skin. This is because the pulses of light are absorbed, meaning that it can cause hyperpigmentation in skin that naturally contains more melanin. 

(But don’t worry… There are plenty of other targeted options that you can undergo if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with olive or darker skin tones)

It all sounds fab, but Is a BBL photofacial really worth the money?

In a word, yes! When carried out by an expert clinician, a BBL photofacial can provide almost immediate and long-lasting results for a whole host of skin conditions.

The beauty of a BBL photofacial isn’t just the cutting-edge technology it brings to skin care, but that every treatment is targeted specifically for your skin’s requirements. You also benefit from:

  • A treatment that takes around 15 minutes to complete.
  • Requires little to no downtime (yes, you really can get it done in your lunch hour).
  • The results last a few months.
  • As well as targeting problem areas, the treatment also improves the skin’s structure, firmness, and elasticity.

However, you should be aware that—in the wrong hands—a BBL photofacial can cause unwanted side effects. As well as hyperpigmentation, an unqualified user could even burn the skin. Therefore, you should satisfy yourself that any practitioner is highly trained, well-qualified, and experienced in carrying out the treatment.

Another top tip is that you should avoid sun exposure for 24-48 hours after treatment. (A great excuse to experiment with hats and other headgear to rock your fashion statement…)
