Broadband Light Laser

Intense pulsed light and BBL are both light-based technologies, but there are some key differences. BBL is much more comfortable, increases collagen growth, and is more customizable than IPL.

In just one BBL treatment session, we can target everything from acne to pigmentation to redness, and even further adjust the treatment to the varying degrees of each condition — as well as the patient’s specific skin type. This customization allows us not only to safely and optimally treat our patients, but also allows us to widen the spectrum of patients that can benefit from these treatments.

The best BBL results come from a series of 3 to 5 treatments, scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. Once the series of treatments is complete, we recommend a maintenance plan of appointments 2 to 3 times a year. While you can get great results with just one or two treatments, BBL should be a lifelong commitment to the overall health and appearance of your skin. Not only is clarity, texture, and tone enhanced; there’s also an increase of collagen over time.

Fall and winter are ideal times for BBL treatments, although they can be performed any time of the year for patients who limit their sun exposure.

Yes. You should avoid sun exposure and not have tanned skin at the time of your treatment. You should also avoid certain antibiotics and photosensitizing medications that will make you more sensitive to the sun. Additionally, you should stop applying Retin-A or retinol products to the skin for one week before a BBL treatment.
