BroadBand Light therapy, often referred to as BBL, is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that reverses and prevents the signs of skin aging. This includes fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, redness, sallowness, and skin laxity.

The Power of Light

BroadBand Light is a type of intense pulsed light (IPL) offering a non-ablative treatment that can be used for a variety of skin conditions, including prominent blood vessels, skin redness, acne, rosacea, and hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth). It also reverses signs of skin aging and sun damage by addressing spots/discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and poor skin complexion. Light therapy has been clinically shown to work at the genetic level inducing changes that prevent and reverse the natural aging process. Forever Young BBL has been scientifically shown to enhance overall facial rejuvenation by increasing uniform collagen deposition, decreasing elastosis, improving fine wrinkles, and removing irregular skin pigmentation.

Is BBL Right for Me?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults who want to improve their skin but can’t afford to take the downtime necessary after more aggressive interventions. It can also prolong the results or optimize any future surgical procedure by maintaining and promoting skin health. The best candidates are proactive in skin health, use sun protection, and have realistic expectations. This light therapy allows individuals to reverse and prevent signs of skin aging and sun damage yielding a brighter, clearer, and more beautiful complexion. Like skin resurfacing, it reduces signs of aging and promotes younger-looking skin without the need for post-treatment downtime and recovery. You can expect to resume your daily routine immediately after treatment.

BBL Treatment for Different Skin Types

It’s essential to seek treatment from a specialist with knowledge of the different kinds of laser and light technology to avoid unwanted side effects and complications. Dr. Thompson tailors the best treatment option based on each patient’s skin condition and type.

Your Initial Consultation

During a private consultation with Dr. Thompson in Denver, CO, patients can share their specific goals. Providing a holistic approach to skincare is extremely important to Dr. Thompson, and he takes great pride in offering treatment recommendations that impact and optimize skin health on multiple levels. He will review the patient’s medical history and examine their skin to determine the best treatment options for their concerns and conditions.

The Day of Your Procedure

Patients should avoid sun exposure before and after treatment. They should also wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily to protect their skin. The procedure can typically be completed in minutes, but you should plan to set aside at least a half hour for the clinic appointment. Most patients do not complain of pain, but you may feel a slight warm sensation or something equivalent to snapping a rubber band. Eye protection is always provided. Because of its simple and non-invasive nature, you can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment.

Recovery and Results

Light therapy recovery time varies. Depending on the specifics of each treatment, some mild redness may typically fade shortly after the visit but can last up to forty-eight hours. Redness is usually more pronounced in the chest or décolletage area. You will be provided with sunscreen after treatment. Occasionally, you will notice a slight scale where the darkest brown spots were treated but typically heals without issue.
