Meet HEROic™: The Celebrity-Favourite IPL Everyone’s Talking About

What Makes BBL HEROic™ Different?

BBL HEROic™ combines BroadBand Light (BBL) with High-Energy Rapid Output with Intelligent Control (HEROic™). That means it can tackle multiple skin concerns in one session, including:

Sun damage and pigmentation
Redness and rosacea
Fine lines and skin laxity
Acne and acne scarring

It’s faster than traditional IPL, firing up to 10–11 pulses per second, so treatments are quicker without compromising results.

How the Treatment Works

A handpiece delivers pulses of light to your skin. Darker pigments and small blood vessels absorb the energy, which gently breaks down sun spots, redness, and flushing. At the same time, it stimulates your skin’s collagen and elastin, leaving it smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

The device automatically adjusts to the contours of your face or body, and a cooling sapphire tip keeps the treatment comfortable. Sessions usually take 30–60 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break.

What to Expect

Minor darkening and flaking of brown spots a few days after treatment
Noticeable improvements in 3–4 weeks for the face and 3–5 weeks for the body
Optimal results usually require three treatments a month apart, with optional annual maintenance sessions

Who Can Benefit

BBL HEROic™ is suitable for anyone 18 or older looking to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. It works on most skin types and is ideal for treating pigmentation, redness, acne, and rosacea.

“HEROic is a fantastic addition to my clinic. It’s fast, effective, and treats a range of skin concerns in a single session. My patients notice smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, plus there’s minimal downtime — it’s perfect for busy lives.”
