Renew Your Radiance With Experts at VitalSkin Dermatology East Central Illinois
Looking for clearer, more radiant skin? BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy, also known as a photofacial, is a powerful non-invasive treatment offered by VitalSkin Dermatology across Champaign – Urbana, Illinois. Our BBL treatments target sun damage, redness, brown spots, and signs of aging, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin with no surgery and minimal downtime.
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:
Many patients notice a brighter complexion after just one session, with the best results after 1–3 treatments.
At VitalSkin Dermatology, BBL™ Photofacial delivers a powerful combination of expertise, advanced technology, and personalized care. These benefits ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting improvements for your skin.
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.
