What does
BBL do?
BBL stands for BroadBand Light, a type of intense pulsed light treatment. Filtered flashes of light target concerns such as excess pigment and visible redness.
Different settings and protocols address different concerns. Your provider selects the approach based on your skin, health history, and treatment goals.

Helpful answers
Before you book.
What does treatment feel like?
You’ll wear protective eyewear while your provider delivers pulses of light. You may feel warmth and a snapping sensation. Comfort varies by area and treatment.
What happens afterward?
Temporary redness, warmth, or swelling can occur. Treated pigment may darken before gradually flaking away. Follow your provider’s aftercare, avoid picking, and protect your skin from the sun.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your concern, treatment area, and skin’s response. Your provider will explain any recommended series, spacing, and maintenance at your consultation.
Is BBL right for my skin?
Suitability depends on your skin tone, health history, medicines, and recent sun exposure. Mention tanning, melasma, birthmarks, and any history of pigment changes. New or changing spots may require medical evaluation before cosmetic treatment.
What are the risks and preparation steps?
Risks include burns, blistering, pigment changes, and scarring. Your provider will review these and give you preparation and aftercare instructions. Follow their guidance on sun exposure and skincare, and discuss timing before a special event.
