BroadBand Light™ (BBL) – Intense Pulsed Light Technology
Sun exposure, an active lifestyle, and everyday living results in visible signs of skin aging. Thanks to the latest in skin rejuvenation technology, you are not destined to have dull- looking skin. It is possible to reclaim luminous, glowing skin with the help of BroadBand Light™ (BBL).
BroadBand Light™ Technology
Sciton’s BroadBand Light™ (BBL) is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It works by directing light energy into the skin. The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the outer layers of your skin and is then absorbed by target areas. The target, or chromophore, can be the pigment in skin, pigment in hair, redness of blood vessels and even the bacteria causing acne. After the heat energy is absorbed by the target, it sets in motion the break down of target tissues, resulting in the elimination of the target from the skin. The healing response begins, producing healthy collagen and elastin. This process restores your skin to its natural beauty, leaving you with clearer, smoother, and vibrant skin.
Benefits
With advances in research, science, and light therapy, BBL now provides highly accurate guidelines to deliver superior results and allows RG Plastic Surgery to design treatments tailored for your skin type and precisely targets concerns such as:
- Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
- Pigmentation Lesions (e.g. freckles, age spots)
- Vascular Lesions (e.g. small blood vessels, broken capillaries)
- Acne Redness/Rosacea Bruising
- Skin Firmness
- Unwanted Hair

Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of the sunlight. The most popular treatment areas are the face, neck, chest, back of the hands, and shoulders.
The number of treatments needed will vary from patient too patient. Our lead Aesthetician/Laser Tech will personalize a treatment plan for you based on the level of improvement you desire. She may also combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures to further customize your treatment.
This procedure is gentle, noninvasive, and safe. A topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area 45 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure a more comfortable experience for the patient.
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigment lesions, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. It is very important that you DO NOT pick or pull off darkened pigmented lesions, allow your skin to do the work. Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine lines and pores will be less noticeable, and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade.
Your at-home prescribed skin care regimen, the use of protective sunscreen and the avoidance of prolonged sun exposure are key to lasting results. Your daily habits make a difference in the lasting effects of your treatment. We can help you create a skincare regimen to keep your skin glowing and beautiful.
The light energy delivered by the 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, blending its natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions.
This is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities immediately.
It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
