The Treatment Process
A typical BBL Hero™ session takes around 20 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option even for those with busy schedules.  The treatment begins with the BBL handpiece being gently moved across your skin.  You’ll feel a warm sensation as light energy is delivered into the skin.  A built-in sapphire cooling plate ensures your comfort throughout.  Immediately after, pigmented or vascular areas may darken this shows the treatment has worked, and these areas will naturally fade and clear in the days following.
What to Expect During and After Treatment?
  • Most people describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or a quick “snap,” but it is generally very comfortable.
  • No numbing cream is usually required.
  • After treatment, your skin may feel warm for 30–60 minutes.
  • Temporary redness is common and usually settles within a few hours.
  • Darkened pigmentation will gradually flake or fade, revealing clearer, smoother skin.
Aftercare
  • We’ll provide you with a tailored aftercare plan, but the essentials include:
  • Avoid vigorous exercise for 48 hours.
  • Avoid steam rooms and saunas for at least 5 days.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight and always apply sunscreen outdoors.
  • Use any skincare products recommended by your therapist.

  • Brighter, rejuvenated skin
  • Lighter pigmentation and sun spots

Sessions are quick — usually 20–30 minutes depending on the area being treated. Larger or multiple treatment areas may take a little longer.
How many treatments will I need?
