Treatment Overview
BB Laser (also known as Baby Face Laser or Laser BB Glow) is a Korean dermatology laser treatment designed to improve dull, uneven skin tone, minimize pores, and enhance overall radiance. It uses a gentle Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to target pigmentation, stimulate collagen, and refine texture — giving the skin a smoother, clearer, and brighter “BB cream effect” without makeup.
For dull skin, BB Laser works by breaking down melanin clusters, tightening enlarged pores, and boosting skin renewal. It is particularly effective for patients who experience a lack of glow, roughness, and early pigmentation, and who want a natural radiant finish.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Dull Skin / Uneven Tone family (BB Laser, Aqua Peel, Laser Toning, Carbon Laser Peel, Exosome Therapy):
- BB Laser: Best for glow + tone refinement + pore tightening.
- Aqua Peel: Best for cleansing + hydration + glow.
- Laser Toning: Best for pigmentation and melasma.
- Carbon Laser Peel: Best for oil control + deep pore cleansing.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular regeneration + pigment regulation.
