BroadBand Light (BBL) is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It sets a new standard in treating skin conditions. The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, making it clearer, smoother, vibrant and younger-looking.

You may briefly feel a warm or “rubber band snap” sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take as little as a few minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure performed. Your clinician will discuss all of your options with you including the benefits, risks and what to expect.

The procedure is typically gentle and safe. Generally, there is no need for a topical anesthetic; however, your provider may choose to use it. Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses.

You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. Consult your provider 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.

The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient and we will personalize a treatment plan based on your needs and desired outcome.

This is a non-invasive and typically gentle treatment with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work and resume most of your activities immediately. Your provider will provide you with more information on what to expect as well as give you an aftercare plan to follow that will involve avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen.
