This technology utilizes the power of pulsed light to help restore the skin to its natural state. Years of sun exposure, acne, and overall skin aging will greatly improve with only a few treatments. The light energy delivered by the BBL targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions such as freckles, sun spots, melasma or hyperpigmented areas. With BBL, there is little to no down time. Mild to moderate redness immediately after treatment should be expected and will begin to go away within an hour or two after treatment. In most situations, patients can resume their normal skin care regimen within a few days after treatment. For best results, a series of three treatments is usually recommended and can be performed four weeks apart from each other in addition to multimodality therapy with skin care products such as Lytera 2.0 by SkinMedica.
