BB Glow is a cosmetic skin service that uses a fine microneedling pen to work a tinted serum into the very top of the skin.
The idea is a light, foundation-like base that evens the appearance of tone and leaves skin looking fresher.
The results are subtle and temporary. It lasts weeks, not months, and one session is rarely enough to judge. Most people do a course, and we plan the number of sessions with you at your consultation.
Pricing is quoted at your consultation, once Geet has seen your skin and you have agreed on a plan.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You would like a light, natural base without wearing foundation every day
- You want a softer, more even-looking tone and can accept a subtle result
- You are happy to commit to a short course rather than one session
- You prefer a temporary option to cosmetic tattooing
Better to wait, or check with your doctor, if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have an active skin infection, cold sore, or acne breakout in the area
- You are on blood thinners, took isotretinoin within the last 6 to 12 months, have uncontrolled diabetes, or are having chemotherapy: wait or get your doctor's OK first
- You have a keloid tendency, or sunburned or recently tanned skin
What happens at the appointment
Consultation and skin check
We look at your skin, talk through what BB Glow can and cannot do, and review a full health and consent form. Pricing is quoted here, and the consultation is free.
Cleanse and shade match
Skin is cleansed and we match a shade to your natural tone, testing a small area first.
Application
The tinted serum is worked into the skin with a single-use sterile needle cartridge. Most people describe a warm, scratchy feeling. Topical numbing can be discussed at your consultation.
Soothe and aftercare
A calming mask is applied, and you leave with written aftercare and a suggested schedule for your next session.
Afterwards
How it settles, stage by stage.
First 24 hours
Skin can look pink and feel warm and tight, a bit like mild sunburn.
Days 2 to 3
Redness fades. Skin may feel dry, and tiny tint spots may show before they settle.
Days 4 to 7
Light flaking is possible. The even-looking finish is most noticeable here.
Weeks 2 to 4
The tint softens gradually. Many people book the next session in this window.
Aftercare
- Keep skin clean and use only the gentle moisturiser we recommend for the first few days. Winnipeg winters are dry, so keep it up.
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Skip active skincare, exfoliants, saunas and heavy sweating for 48 hours.
- Do not pick at flaking skin.
- Use SPF every day. Sun fades the tint faster and makes irritation more likely.
How long it lasts
BB Glow is temporary. Expect the effect to soften over a few weeks, and sooner with sun exposure or heavy exfoliation. That is why a course of sessions is the usual plan: each one builds on the last. We will not promise a fixed result, and we will tell you plainly if we think it is not the right option for your skin.
Common questions
What is BB Glow?
It is a cosmetic service where a tinted serum is worked into the top layer of the skin using a fine microneedling pen. The aim is a light, even-looking base. It is not a tattoo and it is temporary.
How long does BB Glow last?
Weeks, not months, and it varies by skin type, sun exposure and skincare. That is why most people book a course of sessions. We will not give you a fixed number of weeks.
Does BB Glow hurt?
Most people feel warmth and light scratching, and it is milder than tattooing. Sensitivity varies, so tell us at any point if you need to pause. We can talk about topical numbing at your consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
A course is usual, and we decide the number with you after looking at your skin. Results build gradually, so judging after one session is hard. We will be honest if we think the result will be too subtle to be worth it.
Can I wear makeup after BB Glow?
Not for the first 24 hours. After that, light makeup is fine, though many people find they need less. Use clean brushes.
Who should not get BB Glow?
Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and not with active infection, cold sores or breakouts in the area. Wait or ask your doctor first if you are on blood thinners, took isotretinoin in the last 6 to 12 months, are having chemotherapy, have uncontrolled diabetes or a keloid tendency.

A consultation is where Geet looks at your skin, draws the shape or matches the tone, and gives you a clear quote. You decide after that.
