What is Broad Band Light?

Broad Band Light (BBL®) utilizes light energy to gently heat the upper layers of your skin, stimulating new collagen production that gives you firmer, smoother skin with a more even tone. BBL® also penetrates deep into the skin to boost your body’s natural ability to fight signs of aging. BBL® treatment is gentle, safe and requires virtually no downtime. Initially, 3–5 treatments at 2-to-4-week intervals will produce the best results.

What To Do Before Your Treatment

We suggest before any treatments you Use sunscreen and physical sun protection when outdoors, avoid extended sun exposure, i.e. beach, travel to sunny locations, sunbathing, sports outdoors. Inform your BBL clinician if any physician has ordered Accutane for you in the last 6 months and also Inform your doctor of any medical conditions or medications you are taking that might sensitize you to light, affect wound healing or affect coagulation

Duration of Procedure

What To Expect During Your Treatment

The procedure is typically gentle and safe and there is no need for a topical anaesthetic, however, your clinician may choose to use it. Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses and you may briefly feel a warm or rubber band snap sensation as the light is absorbed.

What To Do After Your Treatment

You may experience some redness in the treatment area that should resolve within a few hours and may notice darkening of your pigmented spots, followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. You will need to follow our aftercare plan until skin is completely healed – typically one week after the treatment. The skin on your body might take longer to heal, compared to your face.

Results

Initially, 3-5 treatments at 2-to-4-week intervals will produce the best results. 2-4 treatments as maintenance is an excellent way to slow down the aging process. After a series of traditional BBL treatments, most of our clients see improvement in nearly every aspect of their skin. BBL is also one of the most effective ways to slow down the aging process. Having 2-3 treatments per year as maintenance is a fantastic anti-aging program.
