About BroadBand Light (BBL) Treatments
At Dermature we use Sharplight Omnimax S4 for Photo Facials/BroadBand Light for clients concerned about age spots, sunspots, fine lines, medium wrinkles, large pores, elastosis, dull skin and rhytids, among several others.
BroadBand Light, also known as BBL and Photo Facial, gives a younger, glowing look to your skin. It simultaneously treats the three main elements of sun-damaged, environmentally-polluted and aging skin by coagulating blood vessels, eliminating pigmented spots and improving skin texture. BroadBand Light treatments are suitable for the face, neck, chest and hands; treating sun spots, small dilated blood vessels called telangiectasias; and skin textural changes such as small lines and enlarged pores. There are no signs of skin irritation after the treatment. The best results are usually seen after 4 sessions.
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment, also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes advanced light technology to target and treat various skin imperfections. Unlike traditional lasers, BBL emits multiple wavelengths of light, allowing it to address various skin concerns simultaneously.
The Benefits of BBL Treatment:
BBL treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation from within. As a result, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture are significantly improved, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Years of sun exposure can lead to unwanted pigmentation and sunspots. BBL's targeted wavelengths effectively break down melanin, reducing pigmented lesions and restoring a more even skin tone.
BBL's unique light technology can target and destroy acne-causing bacteria, making it an effective treatment for active acne and preventing future breakouts.
BBL can effectively target redness and visible blood vessels caused by conditions such as rosacea, leaving the skin looking more even-toned and clear.
BBL is a non-surgical, non-ablative treatment, meaning it does not damage the skin's surface. Consequently, the recovery time is minimal, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
BBL treatment can be tailored to suit individual skin types and concerns. By adjusting the wavelengths and intensity of light, cosmetic professionals can create personalized treatment plans to achieve optimal results for each patient.
BBL is an FDA-approved treatment that has undergone extensive clinical testing, ensuring its safety and effectiveness. When administered by qualified professionals, BBL is considered a safe and reliable option for skin rejuvenation.
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment has emerged as a groundbreaking solution in the field of skin rejuvenation, offering a multitude of benefits to individuals seeking a more youthful and vibrant appearance. From targeting sun damage and pigmentation to reducing acne and redness, BBL's versatility and efficacy have made it a preferred choice for many.

BBL (BroadBand Light) treatment is a treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin. It is a treatment that uses intense pulses of light to target discoloration and other signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage. The light energy heats up and damages the targeted areas while stimulating the production of collagen. This can result in smoother and more even skin tone, as well as a tighter and more youthful appearance.
