BBL (BroadBand Light)
BBL (BroadBand Light) is a type of advanced light therapy used in dermatology and cosmetic procedures to treat a variety of skin conditions and improve skin appearance. It is a form of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, developed by Sciton, and is often marketed under the name BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) for more powerful and efficient treatments.
What BBL Does:
BBL delivers pulses of high-intensity light into the skin, which helps to:
- Reduce pigmentation (age spots, freckles, sun damage)
- Treat redness and vascular lesions (like rosacea or broken capillaries)
- Stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness and texture
- Improve acne by targeting bacteria and reducing inflammation
- Even out skin tone and reduce signs of aging
How It Works:
- The light targets specific chromophores (pigment or blood) in the skin.
- The heat generated causes the body to naturally remove damaged cells or blood vessels.
- Over time, the skin looks clearer, smoother, and more youthful.
Areas Treated:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
- Other body areas with sun damage or aging signs
Notable Features:
- Minimal downtime
- Non-invasive
- Often requires multiple sessions for best results
