BBL® HERO™ FAQ
-
The BBL laser treatment process that turns back time on aging is called Photorejuvenation. The
treatment uses short blasts of high-intensity light to produce younger-looking skin with no surgery and
little to no recovery time. This treatment can be done on the face, neck, chest, legs, arms, and hands-on
men and women alike.
So, how does it work? The light that is used during treatment changes to heat energy as it reaches the
level of collagen beneath the skin surface. The heat energy then stimulates the skin and promotes
collagen regeneration. Collagen is so important for helping the skin maintain its youthful appearance.
Unfortunately, as we age, our skin loses collagen. So, by targeting the growth of collagen, the skin’s
surface will be renewed. This renewed, refreshed layer of skin will leave you with even pigmentation,
improved texture, and reduced redness.

Years of unprotected sun exposure can do a number on your skin, but BBL can reverse the damage. BBL
is attracted to hyperpigmentation and Sun damage. It will initially turn dark spots darker or “peppery”
and they will slough off during a period of about a week leaving behind clear, smooth, even skin. Active
acne can also be treated successfully with BBL. Rosacea, vascular lesions, and facial veins are also
targeted. Rosacea may initially be slightly flared and skin can be more red temporarily, but the heat will
close vessels and ultimately calm red and inflamed skin. With the increase in collagen stimulation
wrinkles can also be softened with multiple treatments. A series is always recommended along with
maintenance treatments.

The best part about BBL treatment is that the process is quick and easy. The procedure can be
customized for each patient, depending on what needs to be treated. The treatment could include three
or four separate filters depending on the treatment areas. Each filter targets different skin issues. So,
multiple skin conditions will be treated in just one single treatment.
Initially, a cold gel will be applied to the targeted area, and you will be given dark glasses to wear to
protect your eyes from the bright light.
The BBL handpiece that gives off pulses of light will be applied to your skin. This is a smooth glass
surface. During the treatment, you may feel a slight sting. The pain has been compared to the snapping
of a small rubber band.
