Photorejuvenation BBL Therapy
Photorejuvenation Therapy restores your skin to its natural beauty by treating sun-damaged skin, age spots, redness and more. With the Sciton broadband light (BBL) device, the upper layers of your skin are gently heated, which will stimulate your skin cells to generate new collagen in the targeted areas for skin type I-V on the Fitzpatrick Scale. BBL energy will target and eliminate many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions. Results include less visible wrinkles, improved skin texture, less noticeable pores and reduced skin laxity.
Preparing for Treatment
Prior to treatment, our provider will work closely with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that best meets your needs. Test spots may be performed to determine the optimal amount of energy per unit area based on your skin type and condition.
To ensure optimal results, we prescribe strict Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment care guidelines for our patients to follow.
