BBL uses targeted broadband light energy to penetrate the skin and address pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging at the cellular level. The light is absorbed by problem areas—such as sun spots or broken capillaries—which are then naturally eliminated by your body. Simultaneously, BBL stimulates collagen production to improve texture and tone over time.

Most clients describe the sensation as a warm snap against the skin, similar to a rubber band. We prioritize your comfort throughout the treatment and can adjust settings or apply cooling techniques as needed. The procedure is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.

Most clients achieve optimal results with 3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, though this varies based on your skin concerns and goals. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. Many clients also choose maintenance sessions 1-2 times per year to preserve results.

BBL requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken before naturally flaking off over 7-10 days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately.

Initial improvements—such as a brighter, more even complexion—can be visible within 7-10 days. Pigmentation will darken and slough off over 1-2 weeks, while collagen regeneration continues for 4-6 weeks post-treatment. Results build progressively with each session.

Sciton BBL is safe and effective for most skin types and tones when administered by trained professionals. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and medical history to ensure BBL is the right treatment for you and customize settings for optimal safety and results.

Absolutely. BBL pairs beautifully with treatments like Sciton Halo, microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables as part of a comprehensive skincare plan. We’ll recommend complementary services during your consultation to help you achieve your aesthetic goals more efficiently.

Avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products for 2-4 weeks prior to treatment. Arrive with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or skincare products on treatment areas. We’ll provide a complete pre-care guide after booking to ensure optimal results.

Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Apply SPF 50+ daily and follow the aftercare protocol provided by your provider. Proper post-care ensures the best possible outcome and protects your investment.

With proper skincare and sun protection, BBL results can last 1-2 years or longer. Many clients maintain their results with periodic maintenance treatments. Your provider will recommend a plan tailored to your skin’s needs and lifestyle.
