BROADBAND LIGHT (BBL) THERAPY

Using powerful, targeted pulses of light, BBL gently heats the small blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, causing them to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body.

Frequently asked questions
-
BBL is ideal for treating small facial veins, broken capillaries, spider veins, and redness caused by rosacea. It is not suitable for larger or deeper leg veins like varicose veins.
-
For optimal results, we recommend an initial series of 3-6 treatments spaced 30 days apart. Your suggested maintenance schedule is dependent upon your individual skin needs and goals.
-
Most patients describe BBL as feeling like a quick, warm snap on the skin—similar to a rubber band. A cooling device or gel is used to keep the treatment comfortable, and discomfort is minimal.
-
Some patients experience mild redness and swelling after their treatment. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to days. To minimize discomfort, your specialist may recommend applying a cool compress.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area for a few hours to a day. Makeup can usually be applied right away, and most clients return to normal activities immediately.
-
Results are long-lasting, especially with proper skin care and sun protection. However, new veins can develop over time, and occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended.
-
BBL Therapy is a versatile and effective treatment, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Compared to other light-based treatments, BBL Therapy can be used to target a wider range of skin concerns in fewer treatments. Additionally, its cooling system minimizes discomfort and helps protect the upper layers of the skin for a safe and comfortable experience.
-
BBL works best for individuals with lighter skin tones who have small, visible veins or redness on the face or chest. A consultation is necessary to determine if BBL is right for your skin type and goals.
INTENSE PULSE LIGHT (IPL) THERAPY
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin and target pigmentation irregularities, such as sun spots, age spots, and redness caused by rosacea or broken capillaries. The light energy stimulates collagen production and gradually improves skin tone and texture, leaving you with a fresher, more radiant look.
Using laser or light-based technology, we safely treat small, visible veins (often called spider veins) on the face and legs. The heat from the light collapses the targeted veins, which are then naturally absorbed by the body over time. These treatments are non-invasive and require little to no downtime.
Treatable Conditions:
Spider veins
Broken capillaries
Facial veins
Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation
Rosacea and redness
