Age Naturally and Beautifully
I am a 38 year old white female with naturally clear smooth skin. The last couple years i developed light rosacea on my cheeks. I went in for a BBL session and was not given any pre or port instruction. I spent time in the sun the days and weeks leading up to my procedure and I guess that is why i am not having good results. If you get this done you must AVOID the SUN completely for 4 weeks before the treatment, use SPF 35 and shade your face at all times, be prepared to do this after the treatment as well. I am 2 months out from my procedure and while the results were okay at first i did not wear sun block or make any effort to avoid the sun. Now i have what looks like acne/pimples on my forehead and both cheeks. I am so mad I didn't get the proper instructions on how important sun exposure can damage the skin after the BBL. I will never get another facial like this. Anyone notice its all woman on here, men aren't brainwashed into thinking they need perfect skin. So I say let yourself age gracefully and embrace every wrinkle, every laugh line, every sun spot and every freckle!!!!
