BBL® (Broad-Band Light) is a revolutionary treatment that sends light energy deep into the skin to boost your body's natural ability to fight the appearance of aging. The results? Skin that looks younger and younger year after year.
It is not just a beautify treatment, it is a preventative regimen. Whether addressing visible signs of sun and environmental damage or beginning a preventative treatment plan, BBL treatments can help.*
*This procedure is not available at all locations.
If brown spots are the target, BBL penetrates the skin to reach the melanocytes. The particles of the cells left behind will peel or slough off within 7-14 days.
If redness is the target, blood vessels in the deeper layer of the skin absorb the light and the heat created by the light damages the vessels. The vessels are shut down and the body continues to absorb the destroyed vessel remnants.
A series of 2-4 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart, is usually recommended to clear skin discolorations and vascular lesions. Each session lasts for 20-40 minutes.
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a warm or “rubber band snap” sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your aesthetician will discuss all of your options with you including the benefits, risks and what to expect.
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some spots, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Results depend on your skin type, the number of treatments, and the area treated.
This is a noninvasive and typically gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, and resume most of your activities immediately.
