BB Glow: Treatment, Results and Costs

BB Glow is a semi-permanent makeup procedure for the skin in which pigmented serum is introduced into the upper layers of the epidermis using a microneedling device. The treatment creates an even skin tone, reduces the appearance of pores and pigmentation, and provides a lasting "glow" similar to a BB cream — without applying makeup daily.

How BB Glow Works

BB Glow serum (contains tinted pigments and skin care ingredients) is applied

The pigment deposits in the epidermis provide an even, natural-looking complexion

How long does BB Glow last?

Typically 3–6 months, depending on skin type (oily skin breaks down pigment faster), sun exposure, and skincare routine. Regular maintenance sessions extend the duration.
