BroadBand Light (BBL) usesĀ intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy to treat a range of skin concerns, including acne, rosacea, age spots, sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven texture. It can also treat spider veins and other small blood vessels, as well as broken capillaries and vascular lesions.

BBL is a type ofĀ laser therapyĀ used to enhance and brighten your complexion by treating skin concerns and stimulating your bodyās production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps give structure to your skin, among other things.
Usually, BBL therapy targets your face, neck, chest, arms, and hands ā though itās possible to treat all areas.
BBL Laser Treatment enhances your skinās firmness, elasticity, and pigmentation (coloring). It may also boost your bodyās self-healing ability to regrow healthy skin.

- Your skin may look pink and feel sunburned for two to four hours post-treatment.
- You can apply makeup and topical skin products as you normally would.
- Use a gentle moisturizer, but steer clear of products that contain retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for one week while your skin heals.Ā
- You can relieve discomfort with cool compresses (lightly pressing a damp, soft cloth for 10ā20 minutes at a time) or an over-the-counter pain reliever, like ibuprofen.
- Youāll be more sensitive to sunlight for two weeks after your treatment, so be especially vigilant about using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. It's also important to avoid prolonged or excessive sun exposure for four weeks after the procedure.Ā
- Some people also have some swelling, especially around the eyes, for three to five days afterward.
- There can also be bruising after BroadBand Light skin treatments for vascular issues.Ā
- Some pigmented lesions slowly turn darker over the first three days, almost the color of coffee grounds. Itās important to resist the urge to pick at or scrub off these pigmented lesions and to let them flake off on their own, to prevent scarring. They should be gone in one to two weeks.
