Four times over the past year I've laid down on my own table, live, no edits, and let Victoria run BBL and Moxi on my face. This episode is the best of all four, cut into one argument. The argument: BBL and Moxi are not a facial. A facial exfoliates. This damages — precisely, on purpose — and your cells regenerate. That's the whole difference between skin that's clean and skin that's younger. What you'll hear: • Why the only way to make skin regenerate after 20 is controlled damage, and why lasers are the most controlled version of that • The machine is only as good as the hands. Factory settings are fine. They are not Victoria. She's done this for 14 years, trained by Patrick Bitter, and she is the only reason I don't do it myself. • BBL vs. IPL: why selecting one wavelength at a time is safer, more tolerable, and works on darker skin • Filters for browns, reds, rosacea, broken capillaries, skin tightening, hair — set by skin type, not by a menu • BBL Heroic: ten times faster, more accurate, and the body is no longer a painful place to treat • Why BBL first primes the skin and makes Moxi work harder, with no added downtime • What Moxi actually feels like (a sandpaper wheel), what your face looks like the minute it's done, and what it looks like two days later when your makeup glides on • One rule: no sun two weeks before, two weeks after I'm not tough. This hurts less than Botox. Petro Facial Plastic Surgery · 903 Montgomery Highway, Vestavia Hills, AL · (205) 824-6334 · petromd.com
