BBL Therapy in Pinecrest

When you first arrive for your appointment, we bring you back to our comfortable treatment room. After getting you settled in the chair, your provider walks you through the process one last time and answers any questions you may have. After we prep your skin by applying a gel that serves as a buffer for the heat, we give you protective eyewear.

Your provider then uses the handheld BBL device and sweeps it over your skin. This device uses advanced AI to deliver precise amounts of broadband light to your treatment areas. Depending on what you want to treat, the device will use specific, finely-tuned settings.

To reduce the appearance of veins, the device utilizes a narrow-bandpass filter. This targets pigmentation concerns without harming the areas around them. For acne treatment, the handpiece emits blue light to kill bacteria and yellow light to address inflammation. Through powerful motion-based technology, the device hones in on sun damage and hyperpigmentation to remove it swiftly and safely.

Finally, to help with skin laxity, the BBL device pulses infrared light over your skin. The heat from these pulses stimulates collagen deep within the skin, activating your natural healing responses. As your skin recovers, you can experience tighter, firmer skin.

Thanks to the power of broadband light, this treatment is suitable for patients who want to address their signs of aging without an invasive procedure. You can also use it for hair removal, hyperpigmentation concerns, and vascular lesions.

However, there are a few factors that may impact whether you are an ideal candidate. Due to the device’s targeting of skin pigment, patients with skin types I through V are usually the best candidates. Darker skin tones may be at risk of burning. Severe scarring or deep wrinkles may not be treatable, as BBL therapy is chiefly for minor to moderate skin concerns.

If you are not sure whether or not you are eligible for BBL therapy in Pinecrest, get in touch with us. We can answer any questions you have and get you set up with an appointment if we believe you to be an ideal candidate.

This will depend on what you want to treat. After your first session, you will likely notice a difference in your skin after 7 days. However, a full course of treatment typically includes 3 sessions, with each session spaced 4 weeks apart. This is to allow full healing of your skin over the average skin cycle’s duration.

Full results will vary from patient to patient. Your provider may recommend an extra treatment if your concerns are more on the moderate side. In contrast, you may be able to address minor skin concerns like redness in as few as 2 treatments. During your consultation, you and your provider will go over what your exact treatment plan will look like.

Some patients are afraid that they will feel pain during treatment. No need to worry! Before we begin, you can opt for a numbing cream, ensuring your experience is a comfortable one. While this step is usually not necessary, we want to keep your comfort in mind at all times. Additionally, we apply a protective gel before each session to keep your skin safe from the intense heat. This helps ensure an optimal recovery.

If you experience any acute discomfort during your session, let us know right away. At Skin Plus Beauty, we always take the time to address your concerns. We can adjust the settings of the device and further shield your skin from damage depending on your sensitivity.
