What It Is

BBL Photofacial is a revolutionary treatment that uses Broadband Light (BBL) technology to improve the appearance of the skin. BBL is a powerful form of Intense Pulsed Light therapy used to treat numerous skin concerns, including uneven pigmentation, redness and rosacea, spider veins, and uneven skin texture. BBL does not require anesthesia and has minimal downtime. It’s one of the most effective treatments for rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin.

Aftercare Guidelines:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after treatment
  • Wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when going outdoors
  • Avoid hot showers or baths for the first 24 hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
  • Avoid using exfoliating or abrasive skincare products for the first few days
  • Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours

  • Keep the treated area clean and moisturized
  • Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your provider

How It Works

BBL Photofacial uses Broadband Light (BBL) technology to improve the appearance of the skin and address a range of skin concerns. During the treatment, a handheld device delivers controlled light energy to the skin. The BBL light energy gently heats the upper layers of the skin, causing the targeted areas to absorb the heat. This triggers the skin cells to regenerate, leading to a corrective process that restores the skin to its natural beauty.

In addition to stimulating cellular regeneration, BBL Photofacial can also boost collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps support the skin’s structure and gives it a youthful appearance. By increasing collagen production, BBL Photofacial can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and radiant look. BBL Photofacial is a highly effective treatment for rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin, making it look smoother, clearer, and more youthful.

What To Expect

BBL photofacials in Austin treatments typically offer a swift and convenient experience, typically requiring only around 30 minutes to finish. Most patients find the treatment tolerable and do not require numbing. You will be given goggles to protect your eyes from the laser light during the treatment. The provider will apply ultrasound gel to your skin and use a handheld device to pulse the BBL energy across the treated areas. The sensation is often described as feeling like a mild rubber band snap, and most patients find it very comfortable. After the treatment, your skin may look and feel slightly sunburnt and tender. These effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days. Within a week of the first treatment, you may notice improvements in your skin, such as smoother texture, more even pigmentation, and a reduction in fine lines and pores

The photothermal energy of the BBL treatment eliminates small blood vessels that cause redness and reduces excess melanin. Your pores will be less noticeable and the uneven pigmentation will fade. BBL Hero in Austin yields progressive outcomes, meaning that improvements continue to enhance after each session as your body generates fresh skin cells and collagen. Most patients need 3 to 5 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart for optimal results — our medical providers will recommend the optimal frequency. After the initial round of treatments, you can opt for maintenance sessions once or twice a year.
