BBL Photofacial in Charlotte, NC
BBL Photofacial in Charlotte, NC
Sciton BBL on the JOULE platform uses advanced BroadBand Light to improve visible sun spots, age spots, pigmentation, facial redness, broken capillaries and uneven skin tone.
Treatment is customized according to the color, depth and distribution of the concern rather than treating every area with the same settings.
What is a BBL Photofacial?
BBL stands for BroadBand Light. It is a light-based photorejuvenation treatment that delivers selected wavelengths of light into the skin to target visible pigmentation and vascular discoloration.
Light absorbed by melanin can be used to address selected brown pigmentation, while light absorbed by hemoglobin can be used to target visible vascular redness.
Because sun damage frequently contains both brown pigment and vascular redness, treatment can be customized according to what is actually visible in the skin.
What are you trying to clear?
BBL is frequently chosen when the complexion shows visible evidence of sun exposure, pigment irregularity or vascular color.
Sun Spots & Age Spots
Selected brown pigmentation related to accumulated ultraviolet exposure.
Facial Redness
Diffuse vascular discoloration and visible flushing that contribute to an uneven complexion.
Broken Capillaries
Selected superficial facial vessels and visible capillaries.
Uneven Skin Tone
Combined red and brown discoloration associated with photodamage.
BBL for Sun Spots, Age Spots & Pigmentation
Sun exposure can leave behind areas of visible brown pigment that may become more apparent with age.
BBL light can be directed toward selected melanin-containing pigment so that unwanted brown discoloration becomes progressively less visible.
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest and hands — areas where cumulative UV exposure often becomes apparent.
Selected areas of UV-related brown discoloration.
Brown pigmentation that becomes increasingly noticeable with cumulative sun exposure.
Selected superficial brown pigmentation can contribute to uneven-looking skin.
BBL can address combinations of pigment and vascular color created by years of sun exposure.
BBL for Redness & Broken Capillaries
Redness doesn't always come from pigment.
Visible redness can result from superficial vascular structures within the skin. BBL settings can be selected to target vascular color when appropriate.
Treatment may be considered for diffuse facial redness and selected redness associated with visible vascular changes.
Broken capillaries & facial veins
Selected superficial facial vessels may respond to BroadBand Light when the wavelength and treatment settings are appropriate for the vascular target.
Vessel depth, size and location influence whether BBL or another vascular technology is the better choice.

What to expect from your BBL Photofacial
Skin Evaluation
Pigmentation, vascular changes, skin type, treatment history and recent sun exposure are reviewed.
Customized Treatment
BBL settings and filters are selected according to the color and treatment target.
Early Response
Temporary warmth and redness may occur. Treated brown spots can temporarily darken.
Progressive Clearing
Pigment and vascular discoloration gradually become less visible as the skin responds to treatment.
Good candidates start with the right target.
BBL is not appropriate for every type of pigmentation or every skin condition. Treatment begins by identifying what is creating the visible discoloration.

Her philosophy is simple: the machine should not determine the treatment. The condition of the skin should.

questions
What does a BBL Photofacial treat?
BBL can be used for selected sun-related pigmentation, brown spots, age spots, freckles, facial redness, visible superficial vessels and uneven skin tone.
Is BBL a laser?
BBL is BroadBand Light technology rather than a traditional single-wavelength laser. It uses selected ranges of light for pigment and vascular targets.
Does BBL help sun spots and age spots?
Selected melanin-containing brown pigmentation related to sun exposure can respond to BBL treatment.
Can BBL treat broken capillaries?
Certain superficial facial vessels may respond to BBL. Vessel depth, size and location influence treatment selection.
Why do brown spots look darker after BBL?
Treated pigmentation can temporarily darken before becoming less noticeable during the skin's normal renewal process.
What is the downtime after BBL?
Recovery varies by treatment intensity and target. Temporary warmth, redness and darkening of treated pigmentation may occur.
How many BBL treatments will I need?
Treatment number varies according to the amount of pigmentation, vascular discoloration and individual skin response. A series may be recommended for more extensive photodamage.
Is BBL better than IPL?
Neither technology is automatically better for every patient. BBL and Stellar M22 IPL offer different treatment options, and the best choice depends on the target and individual skin.
Can I have BBL after recent sun exposure?
Recent tanning or significant sun exposure can increase treatment risk and may require BBL to be postponed.
Clear the spots. Calm the redness. Let the skin look like skin again.
