Broadband Light (BBL)

It is very important to protect your skin from the sun, especially living in California. We offer Broadband Light (BBL™) therapy to correct sun damage and other skin hyperpigmentation and reveal a healthier, more youthful glow.

What is Broadband Light (BBL)?

Broadband Light Therapy (BBL) is a cosmetic treatment using light therapy to rejuvenate the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation resulting from sun damage, birthmarks, bruises, facial spider veins, and other skin issues due to aging. BBL™ removes dead skin cells and improves other skin imperfections and tightens connective tissues in the areas where the treatment is performed to leave the skin healthy, vibrant, and more youthful.

BBL is most commonly used on the following areas:

 

  • Back of the hands
  • Face
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Shoulders

Benefits

BBL is a preferred treatment to reduce and eliminate the signs of aging, and offers the following benefits:

 

  • Safe for most skin types
  • Treats several areas of the body
  • Very little to no discomfort
  • No downtime or recovery
  • Used with other treatments
  • Quick treatments
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Fast Results

What To Expect After

After your BBL therapy, you may have some slight redness in the area similar to a mild sunburn, which clears up within a few days. There may be some flaking as the pigmentation comes to the surface. It is important to avoid excess sun exposure so that the new skin does not get discolored and the targeted pigmentation does not get darker as it dissipates.
