How does it work?
The light energy delivered by BBL will stimulate cells to regenerate and typically with the first treatment, you will start to see smoother, more even and vibrant skin. The photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces age and sunspots. Your skin will feel smoother, fine lines and pores will be less noticeable, and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade.

What is it used to treat?
BBL has a solution for your skin concerns from head to toe:
- Freckles and age spots
- Small blood vessels and rosacea
- Acne
- Aging Skin
- Loss of firmness
How long does it last?
Results from your BBL treatment will be noticeable after just one treatment but your provider will recommend a series of 3-5 sessions based on your individual needs. Once your initial series is complete, results will be maintained most effectively by using physical sunscreen daily and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended to be treated 2-4 times per year by BBL to maintain anti-ageing results.
Side effects & risks
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. Consult your physician if it does not. 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. Your physician will provide you with complete information about post-treatment care and results.
It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given some skincare products and instructions on how to use them. You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
Not to be used in
As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment. Some patients with darker skin types might not be candidates for the BBL BroadBand Light treatment. Patients with actively sun-tanned skin are not candidates for this treatment.
Pregnant and lactating women are not candidates for this treatment. You should consult with a medical provider to ensure you are a candidate for BBL BroadBand Light therapy.

Cost of treatment
