BBL Hero by Sciton

BBL Hero is an advanced form of broadband light (BBL) used to treat hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration. It delivers high-intensity pulses of light energy that precisely target and break up excess melanin or pigmentation in the skin. Light energy also encourages cellular regeneration and new collagen production to resurface healthier skin with a brighter complexion and even texture.

BBL Hero is most effective for various types of pigmentation like sun spots, age spots, brown spots, and general skin discoloration. By encouraging new collagen growth, it can also improve acne, scarring, vascular lesions, and irregular skin texture.

The number of BBL Hero sessions required depends on the specific skin condition being treated and the severity of the condition. Typically, patients receive 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, improvement in skin tone and texture can often be noticed even after the first session.

BBL Hero treatments have a minimal risk of side effects and no downtime. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Rare side effects may include temporary pigment changes, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.

During the BBL Hero treatment, patients will be given protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the bright flashes of light. The procedure itself is not painful and typically takes 30 minutes or less. After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or flushed but normal activities can be resumed right away.

BBL Hero differs from traditional intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments primarily in its enhanced power and speed. The BBL Hero technology delivers three times the energy as IPL, allowing for faster treatment times and deeper penetration into the skin layers. It also uses multiple wavelengths of energy for more versatile treatment, targeting multiple skin concerns in one procedure.

BBL Hero is equipped with adjustable settings and various filters that allow providers to customize treatments according to each patient's unique skin characteristics and concerns. Although it is safe for most skin types and tones, patients with darker skin tones might not be candidates since there is an increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Results from BBL HERO treatments vary depending on the treated condition and individual skin response. With proper skincare and sun protection, improvements in skin tone, texture, and pigmentation can last for several months to a year or longer. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain optimal results over time.

Yes! BBL Hero can be combined with other cosmetic treatments such as laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and injectables like dermal fillers or neurotoxins for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Combination treatments can enhance overall results by addressing multiple aspects of skin aging and damage.
