Frequently Asked Questions

How does BBL work?

​

BBL treatment is sometimes referred to as a Photo Facial. BBL works by emitting a specific wavelength of light. That light targets skin issues, like brown spots, broken capillaries, or hair follicles. The target absorbs the light, where it is converted into heat, and the target is destroyed.

 

This means BBL can be customized to target sun damage, brown spots, rosacea, or unwanted hair follicles, by changing the wavelengths used in each pulse. BBL also stimulates cells to boost collagen production for smoother, vibrant skin. BBL technology minimizes the appearance of skin damage and takes years off of your complexion without any need for invasive procedures or disruptive periods of downtime.

 

There is even a wavelength that targets acne bacteria, allowing us to both destroy the bacteria and reduce the red and purple scarring associated with acne.

Who is the best candidate for BBL?

​

BBL works for patients of all ages, on both the skin of the face and body, but especially dark skin type may choose an alternate treatment. Since BBL can be customized for each patient, it can be used to address:

  • Reduce years of sun damage, like brown spots, discoloration, or freckling

  • Brighten complexion and increase the reflectivity of skin

  • Enhance the smoothness and firmness of skin

  • Treat active acne and acne scarring

  • Reduce rosacea

  • Remove cherry hemangiomas (dark red dots) and telangiectasias (broken capillaries)

  • Remove unwanted hair from legs, armpits, abdomen, back or chest

  • Treat skin of both the face and body

 

BBL treatments can NOT be performed if you have any type of a suntan. Sunscreen and avoiding the sun is recommended for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment.

How is BBL performed?

​

A layer of cooling gel is applied to the treatment area. Specialized eyewear is used to protect our eyes from the light. The BBL handpiece is then used to apply "pulses" of light in the correct wavelength to the skin. Several passes with the handpiece will be performed. With each pulse, there is a sensation of warmth or prickling. Many patients describe the sensation as a hot rubber band being plucked against the skin.

 

Treatment time is from 30-90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

 

You must avoid sun tanning prior to a BBL treatment, and your provider may recommend that you begin a product like hydroquinone for a week or so prior to your service . If you have a suntan when you have your BBL treatment, the BBL would remove the tanned skin, leaving rectangular blotches on the skin.

Afterwards, your skin may be red and have a sunburned feel for a day or so. Makeup may be applied right away. Mild to moderate swelling may develop. Small dark dots called MENDS will begin to appear a day or more after treatment. Allow these to slough off by themselves Keep the skin clean and well hydrated during healing. Most patients have fully healed, revealing clearer skin, in about a week (for the face), or 1-2 weeks (for the body). Full collagen development takes 3 months.

 

Your provider will recommend an initial series of treatment 3 monthly treatments to reach your goals.  Additional treatments about once a year are recommended to maintain results.

 

Most patients see improvement after their first treatment, but full results are seen 3 months after the final treatment, when the development of collagen and elastin is complete. Continue to use medical grade skin care and use sunscreen daily to maintain your results.
