What is BBL Photo Facial?
BBL stands for BroadBand Light, a treatment that delivers multiple wavelengths of light to target different skin concerns without disrupting the surface of the skin. It targets pigmentation, diffuse redness, rosacea, sun damage and visible vessels, and stimulates collagen production.
The light penetrates into the skin and uses heated energy to stimulate the skin and promote collagen regeneration. Based on your skin type, skin condition and desired results, BBL can help you achieve a more even skin complexion while boosting collagen production. This fairly gentle treatment can treat skin conditions such as rosacea and visible vessels.
What BBL Photo Facial Helps With:
- Pigmentation and age spots
- Diffuse redness
- Rosacea
- Sun damage
- Visible vessels
Post-Treatment Care - BBL Photo Facial
Immediately after treatment at our Barrie clinic, patients will experience redness with a slight tingling sensation in the treated area. Pigmentation will turn darker but will fade in one to two weeks. Patients may be sensitive to sunlight and should apply sunscreen daily. We recommend following a skin care routine using one of our medical grade skincare lines for best results. Avoiding touching the treatment area as much as possible and staying hydrated can help the skin heal.
