If you’re interested in a smoother, clearer complexion, contact the Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati for a consultation and to learn how you could benefit from Broad Band Light therapy!
What is Broad Band Light or BBL?
Broad Band Light treatments or BBL treatments, are dermatological treatments that target and correct unwanted skin pigmentation, vessels, and improves skin texture, and can also be used to treat melasma. BBL therapy is particularly effective on damaged skin that has been impacted by age, excessive exposure to the sun, or other environmental factors. BroadBand light treatment is a non-invasive therapy procedure that has little to no recovery time, making it a practical option for most people. Our patients usually notice a renewed glow, fewer brown spots and vessels, less redness and smoother firmer skin tone and texture.
Who is a candidate for our BBL treatments?
Broad Band Light therapy is effective on a wide range of skin concerns. It is particularly effective on patients with age spots, unwanted vessels, skin pigmentation, sun damage, Melasma, and other similar conditions.
What areas of the body can be treated?
This therapy is effective on the entire body. Due to the conditions it most commonly treats, it is often used to treat areas of the body that are often exposed to the sun, including:
- Face
- Hands
- Neck
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Upper back
What can I expect from a treatment session?
Sessions will typically last about 20 minutes, and you will generally be able to return to your regular life immediately following.
Before the treatment, your doctor will apply a cool gel to the area that is to be treated. They will then apply the glass surface of the BroadBand light treatment device directly to your skin. You may feel some mild discomfort, such as a stinging sensation, but it is generally well tolerated.
Is there any downtime?
You can return to daily life immediately after your treatment. You may experience some minor redness in the treated areas, which will quickly fade. It is also safe to wear makeup immediately after your treatment.
BBL is one of our mainstay procedures. Patients who do this on a regular basis will age with fewer lines and wrinkles and maintain better skin firmness and tone. At a great price point, this is one of the best values for overall skin improvement. Recovery time is minimal- you can wear makeup immediately post-treatment and return to your regular routine. Any treated brown spots will initially darken and begin to flake off over a one to two week period. Give us a call to schedule your BBL treatments at our Cincinnati practice!*
