“My wife can always tell when I’ve been drinking. My nose turns red.”
“I can’t even cover it up with makeup. The texture is changing—it looks rough where it’s red.”
“I look like Rudolph.”
“Every time I drink red wine, my face turns red. It’s really embarrassing.”
“The cold wind hits my face and people ask if I’m embarrassed. I’m not.”
02 / The part you might not say out loud
“Does this really work? My skin is so reactive. I’ve always heard this wouldn’t work for me.”
“I’ve already tried medicine and antibiotics. How is this different?”
“I’m scared I’m going to go through all this and it’s still going to happen.”

BBL HEROic is one of my favorite treatments. Victoria treats my skin, too. We’ve had great results using it for redness, usually with three to five treatments over several months.
We look at your skin and make a plan for what’s bothering you. Skin care helps keep the results going. Sometimes we pair BBL HEROic with red light, either here or with an Omnilux mask at home.

Your skin reacts while I’m treating it. I need to read what it’s telling me and adjust as I go. Dr. Petro makes the treatment plan; I carry out the treatment.
Redness takes a series. You may start to see a change after the first treatment, but we keep working over several months. Along the way, you may also notice changes in how even and smooth your skin looks.
04 / The practical part
BBL HEROic. Dr. Petro makes your treatment plan, and Victoria performs the treatments. Skin care helps keep the results going; sometimes we add red light here or an Omnilux mask at home.
Quick pops, like a rubber band, and heat. Your skin can look pink or red afterward, and some people swell. Victoria will tell you what to expect for your skin before you leave.
You may see less redness after the first treatment. Plan on three to five treatments over several months to get it under better control. Along the way, your skin can look more even, feel smoother and show less obvious pores.
BBL HEROic for the face starts at $450. We’ll price the areas and number of treatments in your plan at your consultation. Want to know beforehand? Email us or call Candice at 205-824-6334.
