Silk Aesthetics Studio

Behind the scenes of your BBL treatment ✨

There’s a lot more happening than simply placing a handpiece on the skin and delivering light.

A great BBL treatment starts with understanding the science behind light-based technology — how different wavelengths interact with pigment, redness and the skin itself.

It means ongoing training, understanding skin types and chromophores, selecting the correct filters, choosing appropriate treatment parameters and knowing when to adjust them.

It also means assessing what BBL can realistically treat, managing expectations, explaining the treatment properly and creating a plan that is suited to your individual skin — not simply following the same settings for every client.

Technology is only one part of the equation.

The knowledge, training and decision-making behind how that technology is used matters just as much.

At Silk, we continue to study, train and refine our skills so that every BBL treatment is approached with both science and experience behind it.

✨✨✨Our beautiful Jade and what drives her passion for the work that she has chosen to do✨✨✨

What made you want to study aesthetics?

“I struggled with my skin during high school, which did take a toll on my confidence. I was always on a mission to understand my skin and find ways to improve it, and when I eventually achieved healthier skin, I noticed such a big difference in how confident I felt. That experience made me realise how much our skin can affect the way we feel about ourselves, and it motivated me to want to help other people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin too.”

What treatments intrigue you the most?

“I’m most intrigued by skin treatments that focus on improving overall skin health and long-term results. I love learning about the science behind different treatments and products and understanding how they work within the skin. I believe that healthy skin is a journey, and even when results take time, I find it so rewarding to see the skin gradually improve and help someone achieve their healthier looking and feeling skin.”

What do you love about working at Silk?

“Ever since I walked into Silk Aesthetics Studio, I’ve been welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family since day one. I love that it’s such a comfortable and supportive environment where I’m able to learn, grow and constantly develop my skills. I’m really grateful to be surrounded by people who are so passionate about what they do and to be able to grow within an industry that I love.”

Any future plans?

“I’d love to continue growing within the aesthetics industry, gaining more knowledge and experience, and building my confidence as a Dermal Aesthetician. I’m excited to keep learning, developing my skills, and hopefully have the opportunity to travel, experience different parts of the world, and learn from different people along the way. Ultimately, I just want to keep growing both personally and professionally and make a positive difference in my clients’ lives.”

BBL aftercare matters ✨⁠
⁠
After BBL, your skin needs time to recover and clear the treated pigment.⁠
⁠
For the best results:⁠
⁠
• Keep the skin cool and well hydrated⁠
• Avoid heat, saunas and intense exercise for 24–48 hours⁠
• Don’t pick or exfoliate darkened pigment⁠
• Use gentle, barrier-supporting skincare⁠
• Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every day⁠
• If pigmentation is a concern, a tinted sunscreen with iron oxides offers added protection against visible light⁠
⁠
Pigment may temporarily darken before it gradually flakes or fades away.⁠
⁠
Protect the skin. Support the barrier. Protect your results.
