What is BBL?
What is the difference between IPL and BBL?
“BBL HEROic stands for BroadBand Light™, the world’s most powerful technology for treating sun-damaged skin (age spots), redness/rosacea, small facial vessels, and acne. The treatment is light-based, very safe, and highly effective. Many clients combine treatment with SkinTyte™ or HALO™ for maximum results. Here at Pacific Coast Aesthetics, there are several different BBL HEROic treatments available, including Forever Young BBL HEROic™, eradication of acne with Forever Clear BBL HEROic™, and laser hair removal with Forever Bare BBL HEROic™. Interchangeable light filters allow us to target treatments with greater precision, and a thermoelectric monitoring assembly and sapphire cooling crystal work to maximize client safety and comfort. BBL HEROic does more than make your skin appear younger. Regular treatments reduce your chance of developing skin cancer by treating pre-cancerous lesions before they progress, and BBL HEROic is the only light-based treatment that can alter the expression of genes associated with aging. Try BBL HEROic for clearer, younger, and healthier-looking skin!”
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL HEROic (BroadBand Light HEROic) are both light-based therapies used in cosmetic dermatology to treat various skin conditions, but they have some key differences in technology and effectiveness. IPL devices use a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths to treat a range of skin issues such as sun damage, freckles, age spots, and vascular lesions. The light emitted by IPL is scattered and less focused, which can sometimes require more sessions to achieve the desired results. IPL technology is generally older and may not offer the same level of precision in targeting specific skin concerns compared to more modern systems.
BBL HEROic, on the other hand, represents an advanced form of BroadBand Light technology, designed to be more powerful and precise. It utilizes a broad range of wavelengths that can be fine-tuned with various filters to target specific skin conditions more effectively. BBL HEROic also features newer technology advancements such as improved cooling systems for enhanced comfort during treatment, and its light delivery is optimized to improve the absorption of the light by the target tissues. This results in more effective treatment outcomes, often in fewer sessions.
Additionally, BBL HEROic includes protocols like Forever Young BBL, which has been scientifically proven to change the expression of genes associated with aging, potentially offering longer-lasting results beyond mere cosmetic improvements.
