BBL stands for BroadBand Light is a skin treatment method that utilizes pulsed light to enhance the appearance of the skin. It can effectively address skin conditions such as age spots, sun damage, rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture as well as acne. Unlike laser treatments BBL employs pulsed light that can be customized to target a range of skin concerns. While BBL is generally considered safe and effective for individuals with untanned skin it may not be suitable for those with olive or brown skin tones due to the risk of burning, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation or scarring. The duration of a BBL treatment session is 15 minutes but achieving the desired outcome may require multiple sessions.
