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 $525, with package options available to meet your specific needs. Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and treatment plan.

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow these guidelines to ensure the safest treatment and best possible results:
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for 12 weeks before treatment.
  • Avoid Other Skin Treatments: No chemical peels, waxing, or other irritating treatments in the treatment area for 2 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Limit Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment.
  • Avoid Blood-Thinning Supplements: If approved by your healthcare provider, avoid nonessential anti-inflammatory medications and blood-thinning supplements (Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo Biloba, etc.) for 48 hours before treatment. Do not discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your physician.
  • Stop Active Skincare Products: Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, exfoliants, and other active skincare products 48–72 hours before treatment.
  • Photosensitizing Medications: Inform your provider if you are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light, including certain antibiotics, acne medications, or herbal supplements.
  • Cold Sore History: If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), please notify your provider prior to treatment.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Please inform your provider if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Pain Relief: You may take Tylenol® (acetaminophen) 30–60 minutes before your appointment if desired.
  • Medical History: Please inform your provider of any significant medical history, allergies, medications, or recent procedures prior to 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.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Post-treatment care is essential to promote proper healing and ensure long-lasting results:
  • Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Wear a hat or visor when outdoors. • Heat & Exercise: Avoid excessive heat, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours after treatment.
  • No Makeup: Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours following treatment.
  • Gentle Skincare: Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers only. Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, acids, and other active ingredients for 1 week after treatment.
  • Hydrate & Moisturize: Keep the treated area moisturized with a gentle product such as Alastin Nectar, Sente Dermal Repair, or Hyaluronic Acid (HA) products to support healing and reduce discomfort.
  • Avoid Picking or Scrubbing: Do not scratch, pick, rub, or exfoliate treated skin, as this may cause irritation, scarring, or hyperpigmentation.
  • Expected Healing: Mild redness and swelling may occur for 24–48 hours. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken (“coffee-ground” appearance) before naturally flaking off within 5–10 days. These reactions are normal and expected.
  • Pain Relief: Tylenol® (acetaminophen) may be used for discomfort. Contact the office if symptoms worsen or if you have concerns.
  • Treatment Series: Many patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.
  • Contact the Office Immediately If You Experience: Significant blistering, severe swelling, signs of infection, increasing pain, or any unexpected reaction. QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which is often described as a snapping sensation. Topical numbing creams are available to minimize any discomfort.

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.
