BBL stands for BroadBand Light. The BBL Hero by Sciton, is the fastest, most powerful, advanced and versatile Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system on the market. BBL treatment is a cutting-edge solution for addressing various skin concerns and enhancing the skin’s natural beauty. This revolutionary treatment harnesses the power of high-intensity pulses of visible light to target specific skin issues, providing remarkable results without the need for surgery or downtime.
Light energy penetrates just below the skin surface, targeting either the melanin (brown spots) or blood vessels (redness and rosacea). The body then naturally removes this damaged tissue producing clear, smoother and healthier appearing skin.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, also known as photofacial, is a non-invasive cosmetic skin treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of visible light to improve the color, texture, and overall appearance of the skin through a non-invasive procedure. BBL treatment will selectively destroy melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (red blood cells) to produce clearer, more beautiful skin. It can help reduce the visible damage caused by sun exposure, minimize or remove age spots, freckles, and unwanted hair, clear facial redness and rosacea, and improve the appearance of scars and vascular lesions, such as spider telangiectasias and broken facial veins.
It’s important to note that BBL treatments may not be suitable for everyone, and the effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, condition severity, and response to treatment. Consulting with a dermatologist is crucial to assess your specific concerns, determine if BBL is appropriate for you, and develop a customized treatment plan.
Both BBL (BroadBand Light) and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) utilize light technology for aesthetic purposes. However, BBL represents the next generation of this approach. Here’s a breakdown:

The longevity of BBL results can vary based on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle, but typically:
The level of discomfort experienced during BBL treatments can vary from person to person. While some individuals may find BBL treatments relatively comfortable, others may experience mild to moderate discomfort. The sensation can be described as a snapping or rubber band-like feeling on the skin, accompanied by a warming or stinging sensation. However, the discomfort is generally well-tolerated by most individuals, and the procedure is typically brief.
The following measures are taken to ensure comfort during the BBL treatment:
Cooling Gel: Prior to the BBL treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the skin. This gel helps to cool the skin’s surface and provides a protective barrier, reducing heat sensation and potential discomfort.
Built-in Cooling Systems: The Sciton BBL device has built-in cooling mechanisms, with a chilled crystal tip for contact cooling, which helps to cool skin during treatment, further reducing discomfort.
Temperature Sensors: The Sciton BBL device has built-in temperature sensors to provide real time feedback during treatments. This is combined with an infrared thermometer used to gauge the skin temperature and effectively control heating.
BBL therapy rejuvenates the skin by reducing the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and other signs of aging, improving skin texture and clarity.
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and less commonly, minor blistering or bruising, all resolving quickly.
For many patients, BBL is a worthwhile investment in achieving a more radiant, youthful appearance. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting. During your consultation, we can discuss your goals and help you determine if BBL is the right fit for you.
