BBL PHOTOFACIAL CARE SHEET

Broadband Light Therapy, offers a safe, FDA-approved option for anti-aging, sun damage, skin rejuvenation, rosacea/vascular and acne. It works by utilizing high-intensity light pulses to target these specific skin conditions. Targeting the redness, bacteria or melanin (brown spots), BBL can deliver light energy, causing them to disintegrate or absorb. During recovery, the skin beneath starts to heal naturally, replacing blemish and damaged pigment cells with new, healthy ones.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• The procedure itself has been reported to feel like light snapping of a rubber band.
• The BBL treatment can last anywhere between 15 – 45  minutes
• Number of treatments vary depending on the desired result/condition
• Some redness after rosacea/acne treatments and darkening, coffee like texture to pigment after treatment is normal and can be covered with light makeup if needed
