Broad Band Light (BBL™) Q & A
What is BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic by Sciton uses advanced, pulsed-light technology to effortlessly deliver consistent treatments that eliminate skin spots caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and more.
BroadBand Light™ therapy reverses the appearance of environmental damage and other common signs of aging, restoring your skin to a healthier, more youthful state without invasive procedures or downtime.
How does BBL work?
BBL Heroic technology is designed to reduce sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and vascular lesions by utilizing specific wavelengths of light. As these light pulses are absorbed by the skin, they stimulate new collagen production, improve overall skin tone, and produce incredible, consistant results.
Which skin concerns can BBL help treat?
BBL at Transform Austin Med Spa can eliminate the following skin issues and more:
- Pigmentation problems
- Facial redness
- Age and sun spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Small facial vessels
- Acne
- Sun damage
- Freckles
- Pigmented lesions
- Rosacea
- Uneven skin tone
- Reduction of facial or body hair
Over time, these conditions gradually fade away after you complete BBL treatments.
Am I a candidate for BBL HEROic?
To determine if BBL HEROic is right for you, an expert at Transform Austin Med Spa discusses your medical history, examines your skin, and reviews your goals. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and is safe, highly effective, and long-lasting.
What should I expect during BBL treatment sessions?
If you’d like, your aesthetic specialist uses a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort during BBL HEROic treatments. But you don’t have to do so, as BBL’s advanced technology keeps your skin cool during treatment, allowing light to reach targeted cells safely and comfortably. You wear specialized glasses to protect your eyes from the light during treatment sessions.
Your provider uses a handheld device to deliver broadband light energy to specific tissues while you relax. Each treatment session may take about 30 minutes to complete, although you might need multiple treatments to ensure exceptional results.
What happens after treatment with BBL HEROic?
Downtime is minimal to nonexistent after completing BBL treatment sessions at Transform Austin Med Spa. However, your skin may be temporarily sensitive and red, similar to a mild sunburn that often resolves within a day or two. You might also notice temporary darkening of pigmented areas and swelling as treated tissues heal and new cells generate.
Avoid direct sun exposure by protecting your skin with clothing or sunscreen, especially during the few days following BBL treatment. You can expect a more even skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles within several weeks of your first treatment session, with continued improvements in your skin’s overall appearance developing over time.
