Dealing with discoloration and unwanted skin pigmentation can be difficult, especially when any attempts of covering or removing these blemishes are unsuccessful. Makeup, over-the-counter creams and lotions may help minutely, but they definitely can’t remove these blemishes. It may seem like there is no hope, but Broadband light therapy or BBL™ photo rejuvenation is an effective non-surgical procedure used to treat skin problems such as these.

It Works by Using Light and Heat
BBL™ technology utilizes broad-spectrum visible and infrared light. The varying wavelengths of light energy interact with different areas of your skin, such as pigmentation, redness, and capillaries. As these components absorb the light energy, heat is released and destroys excessive pigmentation, redness, and capillaries, making them fade away. Clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin is produced as a result.

A Preventative Treatment That Can Reverse the Aging Process
BBL™ treatments are most effective when started at the earliest age that sun damage, uneven pigmentation, or signs of rosacea appear. This typically occurs in the late thirties or early forties. Other than repairing skin, BBL™ actually changes the skin’s genetic makeup and helps prevent future issues. These treatments can reverse some of the aging changes in the genes of old skin cells, resulting in old cells exhibiting actions of young cells.

The Potential Side Effects Are Minor
BBL™ technology is a great improvement over more antiquated technology with easier, faster, safer, and better results. The most common side effects are superficial burns of the skin if the settings aren’t appropriate for the patient’s skin type and a lack of results if the treatment is done too moderately. For these reasons, the person performing treatments must be well-trained in this technology.
