BBL is a broadband light type of intense pulsed light therapy. This means that during treatment, broad-spectrum light is directed at the skin to break apart pigment or stimulate the body’s natural healing process in the form of new collagen production for increased elasticity. This creates a smoother and more even appearance. BBL’s advanced technology means that the broadband light is directed to the skin faster and more intensely compared to other options, enhancing both efficacy and safety.
There are several IPL, or intense pulsed light, laser technologies available to treat signs of aging, acne, scarring, and more. The BBL photofacial is an advanced option which is specifically designed to work quickly and efficiently with enhanced comfort for patients. BBL is adaptable to many skin conditions and suitable for a wide range of patients.
The BBL photofacial is a beneficial treatment for many patients dealing with skin concerns including sun damage, brown spots, spider veins, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, rosacea, acne, age spots, or texture issues including fine lines and wrinkles. In some cases, the technology can also be used to remove unwanted hair.
Generally speaking, patients with lighter skin tones are better candidates for BBL, as those with darker skin tones may face damage or pigmentation issues as a result of IPL treatments. During a consultation, your technician will determine whether you are a suitable candidate based on your Fitzpatrick skin type. In addition, those with certain medical issues may be contraindicated for BBL, so it is important to disclose all relevant health history during a consultation to make sure that the treatment will be safe and effective for you.
There is no downtime after BBL treatment. Patients should be careful to avoid sun exposure for several days after treatment and may see minor redness or feel some tenderness in the treated area. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after treatment. Results are typically noticeable about two weeks after your treatment.
