BBL is an advanced form of IPL. It’s more powerful, more comfortable, more predictable and more effective. Compared to lasers that target limited concerns with a single wavelength of light, IPL and BBL use multiple wavelengths to tackle pigmentation, redness, texture and collagen production all at once.
BBL is the only light therapy with published studies showing it can affect skin at the genetic level, making cells behave younger. Regular IPL and lasers improve how skin looks, but BBL changes how it functions.
BBL is safe for a wide range of skin tones and types. The technology has built-in safety features and adjustable settings that let us tailor the energy levels to work effectively while minimizing the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.
BBL treatments are typically well-tolerated. Patients often describe the sensations as a mild, warm feeling and a quick snap when the pulse is delivered. The BBL HERO’s powerful cooling technology makes the treatment safer and more comfortable than its predecessors.
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to work or social plans the same day. Your skin may look slightly flushed for a few hours, and dark spots may temporarily darken before fading away. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen daily to protect your results from Chandler’s sunny climate.
Many patients notice a bright, healthy glow shortly after their first BBL treatment. Results build with each subsequent session. We typically recommend undergoing a few BBL sessions per year to keep your skin looking its best year-round.
