BBL (BroadBand light®) is an innovative treatment used to target pigmented lesions (e.g. age spots, freckles), uneven skin pigmentation, tone or texture, vascular lesions (broken capillaries, spider veins), acne, rosacea, and redness. BBL® is also proven to prevent the signs of aging and can be used to improve the overall quality of your skin. It can be used on all parts of the body including the face, neck, and hands. BBL® uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to target your skin’s underlying layers. Your skin absorbs the light energy, which promotes collagen production and breaks down the pigmented (darker) skin cells which your immune system will naturally expel.

Who is an ideal candidate?

BBL® works best on lighter skin tones. Darker skin tones should avoid BBL®, as the darker pigment absorbs too much light that can cause dark spots (hyperpigmentation) to appear. Most patients avoid BBL® treatments during summer months because of tanned skin. Typically, treatments are undertaken three times a year avoiding the summer months.

Avoid sun exposure within four weeks of receiving a BBL® treatment. Avoid using self tanners within two weeks of treatment. Avoid using skincare products with active ingredients such as retinols, glycolic acid, AHA, topical vitamin C and A, at least 1 week prior to your treatment. Inform your provider if you experience recurring cold sores or are using prescription skin treatments that increase your skin’s photosensitivity.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime following a BBL® treatment; however, it is recommended to avoid anything that causes sweating or flushing (e.g. exercise, hot temperatures, and saunas) for a minimum of 48 hours. If your skin feels sensitive post-treatment, avoid using make-up, scented products, deodorants, and active skin care ingredients on the treated area until the side-effects subside.

During the procedure, your provider will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area. You’ll wear safety shields, goggles, or glasses to protect your eyes. You may experience sensations, pulses, and mild discomfort throughout the treatment. Your skin may feel slightly warm and may appear slightly red and/or swollen following the treatment.

How long does a treatment take?

BBL® treatments last around 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area(s). You will likely require a few treatments scheduled throughout the year. This will be determined with your provider during your consultation.

When will I notice results?

You can expect to see visible changes to your skin within a few days or weeks following your first BBL® treatment. Within 2 weeks of your first treatment, your skin may feel smoother and appear more even and bright. You may see fewer discolourations, fine lines, and pores. Blemishes and blood vessels will usually clear up within a few weeks. As you continue treatments, you will notice more significant changes. Our providers often recommend three to six BBL® treatments for optimal results. BBL® is one of the longest-studied treatments in the industry. In studies performed over 10 years by Stanford University, patients who received BBL 3-4 times per year looked around 10 years younger. Ensure to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen, ideally containing zinc oxide, to promote the longevity of your BBL® results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Injectable Treatments

What injectable treatment is best for wrinkles?

The best injectable treatment depends on the type of wrinkles being treated. Botox® is commonly used for dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers, SkinVive™, and collagen stimulators may be recommended for other signs of facial aging, depending on your concerns and goals.

What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?

Botox® works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles that contribute to facial wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore volume, enhance facial contours, and support areas affected by age-related volume loss. While both are injectable treatments, they serve different purposes and are often used together as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

What is the difference between dermal fillers, Sculptra®, and HarmonyCa™?

Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and contouring. Sculptra® and HarmonyCa™ are collagen stimulators that encourage the body’s natural collagen production over time. During your consultation, we will discuss which option may be most appropriate based on your goals and treatment area.

What injectable treatments can help improve skin quality?

SkinVive™ and PRP treatments are designed to improve hydration, texture, tone, and overall skin quality. These treatments focus on the appearance and health of the skin itself rather than adding volume or relaxing muscles.

Can injectable treatments help with volume loss in the cheeks or temples?

Yes. Dermal fillers, Sculptra®, and HarmonyCa™ may be used to address age-related volume loss in areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and lower face. Treatment recommendations will depend on your anatomy and desired outcome.

Can injectable treatments improve the appearance of under-eye hollows?

Some patients may be candidates for treatment of the under-eye area using dermal fillers or PRP. The best approach depends on the cause of the concern and your individual anatomy. A consultation is recommended to determine whether treatment in this area is appropriate, and which treatment is best.

Can injectable treatments define the jawline or improve jowls?

Injectable treatments such as dermal fillers, collagen stimulators, and fat dissolving treatments may be used to improve facial contours, enhance jawline definition, and address early signs of jowling. Treatment recommendations vary based on individual goals and anatomy.

Can injectable treatments reduce a double chin?

Belkyra® or injectable lipolysis treatments can help reduce localized fat beneath the chin without surgery. Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on the amount of fullness being treated.

How long do injectable treatments last?

Results vary depending on the treatment used, treatment area, and individual factors. Some injectable treatments like SkinVive® may last several months, while collagen stimulators and certain fillers may provide longer-lasting results. Your provider will discuss expected longevity during your consultation.

Are injectable treatments painful?

Most injectable treatments are well tolerated. Depending on the treatment, comfort measures such as topical numbing cream, ice, or products containing lidocaine may be used to enhance comfort during the procedure.

How soon will I see results from injectable treatments?

The timing of results depends on the treatment performed. Some treatments, such as dermal fillers, provide immediate improvement, while others, including Sculptra®, HarmonyCa™, and PRP, work gradually as collagen production and tissue remodeling occur over time.
