BBL Laser (Broadband Light),
Photo Facial in Swansea, IL

What Is BBL™ (Broadband Light)?

BBL™ or Broadband Light is an innovative technology that targets many skin conditions, including acne, aging, and sun damage. With this technology, we can tailor your treatment to match your specific skin type and desired results.

Our practice offers both Forever Young BBL™, which helps target unwanted brown and red areas and Forever Clear BBL™, which targets acne. With BBL™ treatment, you no longer have to settle for skin that leaves you self-conscious, but now you can seek the skin of your dreams.

How Does BBL™ Work to Improve Skin?

BBL™, also known as a photo facial, delivers light energy that gently heats the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbs into the targeted areas, stimulating your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. As we get older, our body’s ability to produce collagen decreases, and lower collagen levels begin to lead to fine lines and wrinkles and less elasticity in our skin.

By encouraging collagen to regenerate, your skin will start to restore its natural beauty. Your skin will begin to appear smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking. The photothermal energy helps to remove the fine vessels responsible for causing redness and unwanted pigmented spots.

How does it work?

The BBL HERO ForeverBody treatment from Sciton uses intense pulsed light to target the pigment of the skin. Moving quickly across the treatment area, we flash specific wavelengths of light into the skin. The treated brown and red pigment in your skin initially darkens, which indicates an optimal treatment. Within the next several days, your body’s natural healing process will remove the pigmented cells and replace them with fresh, new, undamaged cells.

How comfortable is the treatment?

Each flash of the light produces a feeling of warmth. Patients easily tolerate the experience without needing numbing cream.

How long does it take to see results?

Results vary depending on the individual, the area treated, and the settings used. However, most patients see results in 1-4 weeks.

What is the post-care?

You must wear a physical barrier sunscreen and limit your sun exposure after your treatment. Failure to protect your skin from further exposure will result in the need for future treatments.

How many treatments will I need?

You will see results from a single treatment. However, the number of treatments will depend on the severity of your pigmentation concerns. A typical patient requires a minimum of three to five treatments for optimal results.
