BBL Laser

BBL (broadband light) therapy is a powerful light-based treatment that fights signs of premature aging and addresses multiple skin concerns, including pigmentation, broken blood vessels and rough skin. Best of all, it’s completely non-invasive and delivers impressive results with minimal downtime. 

Your journey to healthier, younger-looking skin starts at Align Aesthetics. Serving Vero Beach and surrounding towns, we invite you to book a consultation at our medical spa and discover how broadband light treatments can transform your skin.

What is BBL (Broadband Light) Therapy?

Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is a revolutionary treatment in the field of dermatology, utilizing intense pulsed light to target and correct a wide range of skin conditions. The BBL device emits specific wavelengths of light energy that target irregular pigmentation in your skin, destroying the pigment particles so they can be absorbed and naturally eliminated by the body. The process is completely noninvasive and requires no downtime, with side effects feeling similar to a sunburn.

Benefits

• Non-invasive treatment for skin irregularities including age spots and sun damage
• Improves overall complexion for a more radiant, youthful look
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Effective in treating vascular lesions, rosacea and broken capillaries
• Promotes even skin tone, enhancing overall skin appearance
• Stimulates collagen production for increased skin elasticity and firmness

BBL Treatments We Offer

Align Aesthetics offers three treatments using BBL HERO technology from Sciton, a global leader in medical aesthetics. This efficient treatment typically requires only 1–3 treatments to see significant results, a significant advantage of the BBL HERO over other BBL and IPL therapies that often require 5–6 sessions.

Corrective BBL

The powerful Corrective BBL treatment addresses sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness and small blood vessels. This treatment delivers light energy deep into your skin, stimulating your body’s natural ability to fight aging. 

For most clients, we recommend a course of 3–4 Corrective BBL treatments spaced about a month apart. Any part of the body that gets a lot of sun exposure can be treated, such as the face, neck, chest and hands.

Forever Young BBL

Slightly gentler than Corrective BBL, this treatment targets early signs of aging and sun damage. Good candidates for this treatment are typically seeking preventative anti-aging measures or have already undergone a series of Corrective BBL treatments and wish to maintain their results.

BBL HERO Body 

BBL HERO Body is specifically designed for larger areas of the body such as the chest, back and arms. The larger handpiece enables faster treatment and helps you achieve a head-to-toe youthful look, revitalizing the skin and effectively erasing damage caused by sunbathing. 

Ideal Candidates for BBL Treatments

Broadband light therapy is versatile and effective, making it a great option for a wide range of individuals. Both men and women of various ages can benefit from these treatments and see noticeable improvement in skin quality and texture. 

The best candidates are those with specific skin conditions that BBL is known to address effectively:

• Acne and acne scars
• Age spots, brown spots, freckles and other forms of hyperpigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Redness and rosacea
• Uneven skin tone
• Vascular lesions, including small blood vessels and broken capillaries 

It’s important to note that while BBL treatments offer numerous benefits, they are not suitable for everyone. A consultation with our team at Align Aesthetics will help determine if BBL treatments are the right choice for your specific needs and skin type.

Before & Afters

Following your BBL HERO, Forever Young BBL or Corrective BBL treatment, initial results can often be seen immediately. The most striking results typically become apparent 2–3 weeks after treatment. As sun exposure and aging continue, regular treatments can maintain your radiant results.

What to Expect from Your BBL Treatment

At Align Aesthetics, your journey to skin rejuvenation with the advanced Sciton BBL HERO begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our team will examine your skin, discuss your desired results and review your medical history to ascertain the suitability of this treatment for you. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you may have to ensure you fully understand the process and expected outcomes.

On the day of treatment, the targeted area will be cleaned and prepped. BBL HERO uses a specialized handpiece to deliver rapid, high-repetition broadband light to the skin. A combination of a cooling sapphire tip and cold air keeps your skin at a comfortable temperature throughout. The process is fast–most sessions take 5–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area size and how many passes are performed.

Recovery and aftercare

After your treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness and a sensation akin to a sunburn in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to days. The treated skin may also darken before it naturally exfoliates and lightens.

For optimal results, it’s vital to include sunscreen in your daily skin care routine and limit sun exposure. These habits will protect your newly treated skin and prolong the longevity of results. 

Depending on your specific skin needs, we’ll discuss the schedule for follow-up BBL treatments. With regular treatments, Sciton BBL HERO can help your skin achieve a noticeably smoother, clearer, and younger look.

FAQs

What’s the difference between BBL and IPL?

Broadband Light (BBL) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) are similar technologies that deliver light energy to treat skin conditions. However, BBL is considered more advanced and precise than IPL. It covers a broader range of the light spectrum, allowing for more targeted and effective treatments.

Is BBL therapy safe for all skin tones?

While BBL therapy is generally safe for most skin types, certain treatments may not be recommended for darker skin tones due to the risk of discoloration. Always consult with a knowledgeable and experienced provider who can assess your skin type and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Does getting BBL therapy hurt?

Most patients find BBL therapy to be quite tolerable. You might experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snap during the treatment, but any discomfort is usually brief. A cooling device or topical numbing cream can also be used to increase comfort.

Who shouldn’t get BBL therapy?

BBL therapy may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions, active infections, or individuals who are pregnant. Those taking certain medications that increase sensitivity to light may also need to avoid this treatment. A consultation with a professional is always necessary to determine if BBL therapy is the right choice for you.
