IPL PHOTO REJUVENATION

Phototherapy/BBL-BroadBand Light

What is BBl BroadBand Light?

BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging and sun damage. BBL energy allows Dr. Smith to precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin condition. The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat the the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions.

What will happen during the procedure?

Your eyes will be protected with safety glasses. The procedure is gentle, noninvasive, and safe. You may briefly feel a warm or "rubber band snap" sensation as the light is absorbed. Your procedure may take a few minutes to a half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure performed.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions, you will see a darkening of the treated area followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. You are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume your activities immediately. You should avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed.
