BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy

Creams and lotions can only do so much for our skin—they can improve the outer appearance but can’t penetrate the deeper layers. Our office is now harnessing the power of BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy: It’s a gentle, non-invasive procedure that uses pulsed light to give you clear, younger-looking skin. Treatments send light rays into the deepest layers of your skin to help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, invigorate your skin, and boost your body’s natural ability to fight signs of aging. 

BBL can help improve many conditions associated with aging including hyperpigmentation (sunspots), redness, facial vessels, and loss of elasticity. It can also minimize acne, rosacea, and unwanted hair growth.

How does BBL therapy work?

Targeted areas absorb high-intensity light, which stimulates collagen growth and the body’s natural healing processes. 

What can I expect during a BBL procedure?

One of our aestheticians will use a handheld wand-like device to deliver light energy to the upper layers of skin. Because the procedure involves a bright light, your eyes are covered with a protective shield. The wand is moved over the area being treated. While not painful, you may feel warmth from the light and a sensation like a rubber band popping against your skin.

A well-known Stanford University research study suggests that “BBL treatment can restore gene expression pattern of photoaged and intrinsically aged human skin to resemble young skin”, meaning BBL can reverse skin damage and the signs of aging at a molecular level.  

There is little or no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities the same day. Your skin may be slightly red for a few hours after treatment, and you should wear sunscreen. If you had broadband light therapy to treat brown spots, they will first get darker and will then lighten in about a week.

Moxi Skin Resurfacing

If you’ve thought about getting a laser treatment but worry about irritation or downtime, then Moxi is for you. 

As a non-ablative laser, there is no wounding to the skin. It’s perfect for those looking to ward off early signs of aging or prevent them from becoming more noticeable. Younger patients can take advantage of preventing further age-related skin damage and enjoy smooth, firm skin well into their later years.

Moxi offers visible results for younger patients looking for a light touch up or for those wanting to take their BBL treatment to the next level. Some of our other laser therapies require weeks of skin recovery, but Moxi’s gentle microscopic laser energy improves tone, texture, and unwanted pigment all without major downtime. Safe for all skin types!

Combination BBL + Moxi treatments are the ultimate in skin tone and texture correction.
