BBL/Photo Facials
Pre and Post treatment information
How the BBL photofacial works?
BBL photofacial treatment includes multiple wavelengths of light. With light energy, the cells in the upper layers of skin are stimulated to produce more collagen. At the same time, the vessels beneath the skin that cause pigmented spots and redness are targeted by photothermal energy. Treatment is comfortable and tolerated well by most patients. The result of this type of care is smoother, more vibrant, more attractive skin on areas such as the hands, arms, neck, and face.
One of the benefits of the BroadBand light photofacial is the short recovery time. In fact, there really is no downtime associated with care. Moisturizer and makeup may be immediately applied and the skin is comfortable enough for our clients to get right back into their busy lives. For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments conducted a few weeks apart.
BroadBand Light/Photo Facials FAQ
How does BBL differ from laser skin treatments?
BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy is not a traditional laser. Instead of using a single wavelength of light, BBL delivers broad-spectrum light energy to target multiple skin issues, including:
- Pigmentation (freckles, age spots)
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Vascular lesions
- Skin laxity
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Because it’s customizable, your provider can adjust the settings to treat specific concerns without aggressively resurfacing the skin. The result is clearer, brighter skin with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
How long does the BBL photofacial session last?
A typical BBL session takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Smaller areas, like the face, are quick, while larger areas, like the chest or arms, may take slightly longer. It’s often called a “lunchtime treatment” because it fits easily into a busy schedule.
Is BBL treatment painful?
Not really. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pulse against the skin. Discomfort is brief and very tolerable. The BBL device includes advanced cooling technology that enhances your comfort.
How should I prepare for a BBL photofacial?
Preparation is simple but important. It includes:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1–2 weeks
- Use sunscreen every day
- Stop using retinoids or strong exfoliants several days prior
- On the treatment day, arrive with clean skin without makeup or lotions
- Inform your provider about medications or recent treatments
Following these steps helps reduce sensitivity and improve results.
Do I need downtime with a BBL photofacial?
One compelling benefit you’ll love about BBL is its minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours. Pigmented spots often darken temporarily before flaking off within several days. However, these side effects are mild, and most patients can resume their regular activities after treatment.
How long will it take to see results?
You may notice improvement within a few days as redness softens and your complexion looks brighter. More stubborn issues, such as vascular lesions or age spots, will show improvement in 1-2 weeks. BBL stimulates collagen, so improvements continue for several weeks. For best results, we recommend a series of treatments.
How long will the results last?
With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last many months to years. Daily SPF is essential to prevent new sun damage. You’ll also need maintenance sessions once or twice a year to preserve your results. Healthy skincare habits maximize the longevity of your results.
