Harnessing the power of light for skin that radiates! FAQs about BroadBand Light (BBL) rejuvenation
Technology never stands still. Likewise, Kirsch Dermatology in Naples, Florida, is always evolving with new evidence-based techniques and treatments to support the best patient experience and satisfaction with improved treatment outcomes. Our use of the latest BroadBand Light (BBL) technologies for skin treatment reflects these fundamental approaches and represents our blend of timely advancements in the industry and timeless quality of care and service.
What is BroadBand Light?
BBL uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to emit broad-spectrum photothermal energy. This energy works wonders by absorbing the likes of brown pigment or red discoloration in the skin and blood vessels, respectively. When in our providers’ skilled hands, BBL rejuvenation can also be used to target and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging and sun damage.
How is BBL applied to my skin?
We use a handheld device to safely, comfortably, and precisely apply the BBL and generate the energy that transforms the appearance, texture, and overall health of your skin! Special safeguards are taken to support the utmost comfort and the lowest-risk procedure possible. These include providing you with eye protection prior to applying this powerful light.
How does it feel?
Most of our patients describe treatment as a temporary sensation of warmth when the BBL is absorbed by the cells in your skin.
What can I expect after treatment? Can I go back to work?
Yes! BBL treatment is a no-downtime process. However, your skin may look sunburned or pink following treatment and there may also be some swelling. These side effects are temporary, limited to the treatment sites, and can be easily managed with skincare products as directed by members of our team.
When will I see these great results that everyone is talking about?
Every patient is different. Generally, you should notice an improvement in lines, visible pores, and other skin concerns after your initial treatment. Optimal results may be achieved in around three to six treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
We also advise you on ways to protect your skin and sustain the improvements from BBL rejuvenation over the long term. So, you truly get the most out of this investment in your skin and well-being.
