There are a lot of options out there for laser skin resurfacing, but a few of them outshine the rest. Capital Laser & Skin Care offers Sciton’s next-generation broadband light device, BBL™ HERO, to give patients effective skin rejuvenation with fast, easy treatments.
What is BBL™ HERO?
BBL™ HERO is an advanced laser skin treatment that uses BroadBand Light technology to target a range of skin conditions. This treatment is designed to be faster, more comfortable, and more effective than traditional BBL™ treatments. With BBL™ HERO, patients can achieve clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin without the need for invasive surgery or extensive downtime.
How Do BBL™ Laser Treatments Work?
BBL™ laser treatments work by delivering intense pulses of light to the skin’s surface. These pulses of light penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, heating the tissues to prompt a healing response and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are essential components of healthy skin, providing structure and elasticity.
By increasing collagen and elastin production, BBL™ laser treatments can improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. BBL™ HERO is the most advanced BBL™ device yet, offering even more effective treatments that are faster and more comfortable.
What Skin Conditions Can BBL™ HERO Treat?
With BBL™ HERO, patients can achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin in just a few sessions. BBL™ HERO can treat a wide range of skin conditions, including:
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots
- Dark spots
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Freckles
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
What are BBL™ HERO Laser Treatments Like?
Thanks to BBL™ HERO’s advanced cooling technology and faster speed, patients can enjoy their most quick and painless broadband light treatment yet. Most BBL™ HERO treatments take 30 minutes or less. You’ll probably feel the warmth from the laser or a sensation similar to a rubber band snap but with little to no discomfort.
What to Expect After BBL™ HERO Treatments
After BBL™ HERO treatments, patients can expect to see some mild redness and swelling in the treated areas. These side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days, depending on the intensity of the treatment. Patients should avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect their skin during the healing process.
Results from BBL™ HERO treatments can be seen within a couple of weeks, with continued improvement over time. Most patients need two or more sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. After that, we typically recommend yearly maintenance sessions to keep your skin radiant and fresh.
Am I a Good Candidate for BBL™ HERO
BBL™ HERO is a safe and effective treatment for many patients but is typically most effective for light skin tones. We may not recommend BBL™ treatments if you have certain medical conditions or active skin infections. During your consultation at Capital Laser, one of our dermatologists will evaluate your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan that’s right for you.
Capital laser and skin care is the best dermatology practice I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen both Dr. Peters and Dr. Tanzi, who are both extremely intelligent, caring, highly skilled, practical – and gorgeous! The staff is excellent – very caring, skilled, excellent training, professional, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Capital Laser to anyone seeking to take fabulous care of their skin. You will be in the best hands here.
