BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment is a type of laser therapy that uses intense pulses of light to improve the appearance of the skin. It is a versatile and effective treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, fine lines, and more.
BBL treatment uses a specialized device that emits pulses of light at various wavelengths to target specific areas of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the skin's pigmented cells, which causes them to break down and be eliminated by the body's natural processes. The heat from the light also stimulates collagen production, which can help to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Before your treatment, I will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine the best treatment plan for your needs. During the treatment itself, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table while I use the BBL device to target the affected areas of your skin.
The treatment is generally painless and takes around 15-30 minutes to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the treatment area. After the treatment, you may experience some mild redness or swelling, but this will typically subside within a few hours.
The number of treatments you will need depends on the severity of your skin concerns and the results you want to achieve. In general, most patients require a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve significant improvement in skin tone and texture. However, some patients may require more or fewer treatments depending on the severity of their condition.

I will discuss these risks with you during your consultation and provide detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize your risk of complications.
