BBL Treatment (Broad Band Light Treatment)

Reveal Your Best Skin with BBL Therapy

BBL (Broad Band Light) therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin clarity and texture. Using advanced light technology, this procedure targets common skin concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation, and redness. At Skin Thesis, we specialize in personalized BBL treatments that deliver lasting results with minimal downtime.
Concerns: Acne Scars ⸱ Dark Spots/Melasma ⸱ Redness/Rosacea
Treatment Areas: Chest ⸱ Full Face ⸱ Hands/Feet

What is BBL Therapy?

BBL (Broad Band Light) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses pulsed light remove technology to address a range of skin conditions. By delivering light energy to the mid layers of the skin, BBL encourages collagen production and gently removes sun-damaged skin cells. This results in a smoother, more even skin tone, with visible improvement in pigmentation and redness, fine lines, and overall radiance.

Benefits of BBL Treatment

  • Corrects Sun Damage and Pigmentation: BBL targets unwanted pigmentation, sunspots, and freckles, leaving your skin looking brighter and more uniform.
  • Reduces Redness and Rosacea: The treatment effectively minimizes redness and visible blood vessels for a more balanced complexion.
  • Improves Skin Texture: Regular treatments can smooth out rough texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines.
  • Boosts Collagen Production: Stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, promoting a youthful glow.
  • Minimal Downtime: With little to no downtime, you can return to your daily routine quickly.

Pricing

Our BBL treatments start at $425, with package options available to meet your specific needs. Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and treatment plan.

Before the Treatment

To ensure you achieve the best results, it’s essential to follow pre-treatment guidelines:
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay away from prolonged sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before your treatment.
  • Stop Certain Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliating or active skincare products 48-72 hours before your treatment to avoid irritation.
  • Limit Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24-48 hours prior to your appointment.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: If possible, avoid taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications such as Vitamin E, fish oil, or ginkgo biloba 48 hours before treatment.
  • Consider Pain Relief: Taking Tylenol 30-60 minutes before your appointment may help ease any potential discomfort during the procedure.
  • Communicate Medical History: Let your practitioner know about any relevant medical history or allergies before your treatment​.

During the Treatment

Your BBL treatment at Skin Thesis will be performed by one of our experienced aesthetic professionals:
  • Procedure Duration: The treatment typically lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
  • Application of Light Energy: Your practitioner will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area before using the BBL device to deliver intense pulsed light energy to the skin. The light targets and heats the upper layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen growth while eliminating damaged skin cells.
  • Comfort and Sensation: Most patients report a mild sensation, often compared to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. Any discomfort is generally minimal, and topical numbing creams can be applied if the skin is ultra-sensitive.

After the Treatment

Post-treatment care is essential to promote proper healing and ensure long-lasting results:
  • Avoid Sun/Heat Exposure: Stay away from direct sun exposure and activities that cause excessive heat or sweating (e.g., saunas, hot tubs) for 5-7 days after your treatment. Use a high-SPF sunscreen or wear protective clothing when outdoors for the first two weeks.
  • No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to heal.
  • Gentle Skincare: Stick to gentle skincare products, avoiding harsh ingredients such as retinoids or exfoliants for at least one week. You may resume using active ingredients after this period.
  • Hydrate and Moisturize: Keep the treated area well-hydrated using a gentle moisturizer like Alastin Nectar Dermal Repair or HA products to promote healing.
  • Avoid Scrubbing: Do not pick, scratch, or rub the treated area, as this can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.
  • Healing Process: Redness or mild swelling is normal and may last 24-48 hours. The pigment in treated areas may darken for up to a week, and skin flaking can occur within 5-7 days as new skin regenerates.

While noticeable results are often seen after one session, most clients benefit from a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6 months are recommended for long-term results.

There is minimal downtime, with most patients returning to their daily routine the following day. However, some redness and mild swelling may last for 24-48 hours. Pigment can appear darker for the first 3-5 days, but “flakes” off by 7 days. Makeup can be applied for 24 hours.

BBL is effective for many skin types, but a consultation with our specialists is recommended to determine if it’s the best option for you. Typically Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-III and some IV can be treated.
