As the leaders in medical aesthetics, our BBL phototherapy (intense pulsed light) skin treatment technology is second to none for safely and effectively resurfacing years off your appearance. Whether it's dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, or dull skin holding you back, a series of BBL skin treatments can transform it all. If you're unsure how BBL skin treatment can help you, keep reading to learn more about its benefits and how it works.
What is BBL Phototherapy (it's technically not a laser)?
Broadband light treatments are revolutionizing how we treat skin conditions and cosmetic skin concerns. Unlike traditional laser treatments, our BBL device delivers a full spectrum of light energy between 420 and 1400 nanometers. This broad range allows it to target the main chromophores in the skin's surface—hemoglobin, melanin, and water—all in one session.
BBL therapy stimulates natural wound healing by heating and destroying these light-absorbing molecules in the dermis and epidermis. After multiple treatments, you'll notice improvements, such as reduced facial redness and brown spots, improved overall skin texture, and even minimized pore size.
Compared to traditional laser treatments, our gentle BBL treatment treats deeper in the skin without damaging the surrounding skin. This means minimal downtime and quicker recovery and results for most patients.
What is BBL Hero?
BBL Hero takes light therapy four times faster, delivers three times the peak power, and offers twice the cooling of previous broadband light generations, allowing our providers to address various skin concerns more comprehensively and faster than ever.
For your results, it means faster clearing of discolorations like age spots, sun-damaged skin, and acne scars after fewer sessions, enhanced 4-6 weeks apart. Plus, more uniform remodeling of skin tone and skin texture clinic-wide with each session.
And because BBL Hero homogenizes its broadband light delivery, you'll experience smooth, consistent treatment area coverage over your entire face and décolletage with mild pain and minimal discomfort. Its intelligent cooling gel further reduces the risk of side effects.
Benefits of BBL Phototherapy
Suppose you're wondering how BBL skin treatment works. In that case, broadband light treatments, including when performed with the advanced BBL Hero device, can effectively improve various common skin conditions and signs of aging. At our clinic, some of the most frequently addressed issues include:
- Sun Spots: You won't have to endure those brown spots caused by sun exposure. Our BBL phototherapy precisely targets their underlying melanin for fading results.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: BBL therapy stimulates natural collagen production, creating plumper, smoother skin. Over time, some fine lines and wrinkles may be significantly reduced.
- Uneven Texture & Tone: Conditions resulting in an irregular surface and uneven skin tone can now be minimized. BBL phototherapy promotes uniform heating to smooth your skin's surface.
- Acne Scarring: BBL Hero can help lighten acne scars, redness, or pigmentation; volumetric improvement may require other options like chemical peels or glycolic acid.
What To Expect During Your Treatment
We know that undergoing light therapy procedures for the first time can be nerve-wracking. That's why we want you to be fully prepared for your transformative BBL therapy experience with us. Here's an overview of what to expect with our simple, spa-like skin treatment process:
During your consultation, one of our experts will analyze your skin tone, current skin concerns, and goals. Then it's time to relax as we apply a soothing topical numbing cream.
When ready, our licensed esthetician will cleanse the treatment area. You'll feel gentle light energy pulses as the precision bbl skin treatment handpiece is swept across your face and neck. Our advanced cooling gel further enhances comfort.
Some temporary effects, like facial redness or peeling, may ensue in the days following the session, although the downtime is minimal. Most patients resume their daily activities immediately following the session.
Within a few hours to a few short weeks, you'll begin noticing a clearer, brighter, more youthful complexion. And even better results will come with consistent treatments every 4-6 weeks, usually just 3-5 treatments spaced for optimal results.

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds, and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin's health and maintain healthy skin. Direct sun exposure can interfere with healing and hinder results, especially for those with sensitive skin or darker skin tones. However, lighter skin tones may also react adversely to too much light, so follow aftercare guidance closely.
