In recent times, BBL technology has witnessed significant advancements with the advent of the Sciton BBL HERO (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output). This state-of-the-art BBL HERO device offers a fourfold increase in speed and a threefold boost in power, resulting in expedited and more efficacious treatment outcomes. BBL Hero also incorporates new cooling technologies to improve patient comfort during the procedure. The device uses a proprietary thermoelectric cooling system that continuously cools the skin’s surface, minimizing discomfort and reducing the need for external cooling gels or sprays.
While both IPL and BBL can improve overall skin texture and stimulate collagen production, BBL is often favored for its precision in targeting specific skin layers. BBL’s advanced technology allows for customizable treatments that can more accurately address fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne scars.
BBL also has been found to reduce acne breakouts and associated redness. Its blue light component targets the bacteria responsible for acne.
Most patients experience minimal downtime expected, and the skin over about a week. Initial redness and swelling may occur but typically subside within hours or days. Regular activities can be resumed, with ice packs to alleviate discomfort. Vigorous exercise may impede healing. Pigmented spots may rise and shed within a week, resembling coffee grounds. Skin may be sensitive for a few days post-treatment, requiring gentle skincare.
It is recommended to undergo a minimum of three to four BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments annually in order to attain skin that is clearer, smoother, and more youthful in appearance. Additionally, each BBL laser treatment leads to an enhancement in skin quality through the stimulation of collagen production.
BBL™ procedures are offered at various locations across the country, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $1500. On average, the cost of these treatments is around $650 to $950 for body treatments and $450-$800 for facial treatments.
