First Things First, What is BBL�
BBLâ˘, otherwise knowns as BroadBand Light⢠Therapy, quite simply is beautiful skin thanks to the power of light. BBL helps remove the sun damage appearance and redness from the skin. It also helps to clear acne and acne marks and smooth the skin. BBL⢠sets a new standard in treating skin conditions associated with aging, acne, loss of firmness, rosacea, and sun damage.
The light energy delivered by BBL⢠will gently heat 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, making it clearer, smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking. In addition, the photothermal energy eliminates the fine vessels that cause redness and reduces the unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions. The BBL⢠machine is equipped with advanced cooling features, allowing the use of high-powered energy with minimal discomfort. BBL⢠is a safe, effective approach to younger-looking skin. It is recommended that individuals undergo treatment two-to-four times per year for optimal results.
