Your skin says so much about who you are, and if you’re suffering from the effects of too much sun exposure or wrinkles and lines, you just don’t feel your best. Rejuvenating the skin can significantly affect your appearance, giving you that confidence boost to help you put your best foot forward. If you’re considering repairing damage to your skin, Broadband light (BBL) treatment may be the treatment that’s right for you. In this article, we will look at these different treatments, how they work, and what BBL can do for the appearance of your skin.
BBL skin treatment
BBL light therapy treatments are a non-invasive way to repair skin damage and give you back a more youthful appearance. Pulsed light is targeted to even skin tone and texture while firming the skin. It can even be used to treat or remove skin lesions. BBL treatments are offered in three techniques: BBL Correct®, BBL Forever Clear®, and BBL Forever Young®, each of which targets specific skin issues. Using different light wavelengths helps your skin heal in different ways. Here’s the breakdown of how this works.
BBL Correct®
The treatment offers significant skin colour correction. It leaves skin looking clearer, radiant, and healthy by targeting hyperpigmentation, age spots, freckles, broken capillaries, broken vessels, and rosacea. BBL Correct colour corrects the skin of the face, neck, chest, and hands.
BBL Forever Clear®
Blue light is used to penetrate below the skin, killing acne-causing bacteria under the surface skin layer. The blue light also helps reduce sebum oil production. Red light then targets the vessels and inflammation associated with active acne. This power combination treats acne flare-ups, scarring, and inflammation helping acne-prone patients have clear skin while avoiding medications that damage and dry out the skin. The Forever Clear skin treatment is a powerful way to eliminate acne from the inside out!
BBL Forever Young®
Combining the colour correction benefits of BBL Correct with Forever Young’s age-defying benefits corrects for skin texture, tone, fine lines, and pore size. The BBL Forever Young reverses sun damage and encourages skin cells to behave like young skin cells. Forever Young also boots collagen production of your skin, so it looks and feels smoother with fewer fine lines.
Which BBL protocol is best for you?
To understand which treatment suits your skin, consult a certified plastic surgeon. They’ll assess your skin and determine whether BBL is the best course of treatment for you and, if so, which type of BBL treatment will help rejuvenate your skin.
Before booking a treatment
Firstly, you want to determine your goal. Before starting BBL treatment, it’s essential to have realistic expectations about what the treatment can and can’t do. BBL can improve the appearance of the skin, but it may not be able to eliminate certain skin concerns completely. It’s important to discuss your goals with your provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.
Understand the process
BBL treatment involves using a handheld device to deliver pulses of laser energy to the targeted area. The treatment is generally painless, though some patients may experience mild discomfort. It’s important to discuss the treatment process with your Certified Medical Aesthetician so you know what to expect.
Consider potential side effects
Like any medical procedure, BBL treatment can have potential side effects. These may include redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. BBL is a very low-risk, non-invasive procedure, but consult your plastic surgeon before moving forward.
