What Is BBL Photofacial Therapy?

BBL Photofacial (BroadBand Light™) is an advanced light therapy. Our Sciton® BBL™ device gently heats and clears unwanted pigment and tiny blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface using a Sciton® BBL™ device. Over weeks, your body removes these damaged cells, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin. BBL treats:

  • Sun damage & age spots
    Helps fade discoloration caused by years of sun exposure, restoring a clearer, more youthful complexion and reducing the appearance of dark spots.
  • Rosacea & facial redness
    Targets visible redness and flushing by calming dilated blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, easing irritation linked to rosacea.
  • Broken capillaries
    Reduces the appearance of small, visible blood vessels for smoother, more even skin tone.
  • Uneven skin tone
    Corrects blotchiness, freckles, and areas of hyperpigmentation, revealing a balanced, radiant complexion.
  • Fine lines & wrinkles
    Stimulates collagen production to soften fine lines and improve skin texture over time.

Many patients notice a brighter complexion after just one session, with the best results after 1–3 treatments.

Before & After BBL Hero: Recovery & Results

Before your BBL Hero treatment, it’s important to prepare your skin for the best outcome. Avoid tanning, self-tanners, and direct sun exposure for 2–4 weeks before your session, and pause the use of retinoids or harsh exfoliants a few days prior. On treatment day, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin so the light energy can work most effectively.

Following your session, you may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a light sunburn. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Pigmented spots may darken before naturally flaking off, which is a normal part of the healing process. Sun protection is essential after treatment to maintain results and protect your skin, and most patients resume daily activities immediately with little to no downtime.

In terms of results, many patients notice brighter, more even skin tone after just one session, with the best improvements seen after a series of treatments. Over time, BBL Hero helps reduce sun damage, redness, and discoloration, while improving overall skin clarity and texture for a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.
