Sciton BBL is a non-invasive broadband light treatment that addresses a range of skin concerns. From the original BBL to the newer BBL HEROic, Forever Clear BBL, and Forever Bare BBL, Sciton offers a variety of treatment options.
This article will give you an overview of Sciton BBLs, including what the treatment does and what you can expect.
What is Sciton BBL?
Sciton BBL, or Broadband Light, uses pulsed light to target a variety of skin conditions. Unlike lasers, BBL uses a wide spectrum of light to address concerns like sun damage, age spots, and redness.
BBL HEROic™
BBL HEROic™ is Sciton’s newest pulsed light device. HEROic stands for High Energy Rapid Output. The BBL HEROic™ system features Intelligent Control (IC) and Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™) technology.
How Does Sciton BBL Work?
BBL treatments use intense pulsed light (IPL) to heat the upper layers of your skin. This process stimulates your skin cells to regenerate collagen, which is what keeps your skin looking smooth and firm. At a molecular level, the treatment can rejuvenate your skin, making it look younger and healthier.
Here are some of the specific types of BBL treatments available:
- Forever Clear BBL uses blue light to target acne-causing bacteria and yellow light to reduce redness after an acne breakout.
- Forever Bare BBL uses in-motion technology, along with multiple passes with lower-intensity pulses, to deliver consistent results for hair reduction.
What are the benefits of Sciton BBL?
Sciton BBL treatments can address a number of common skin issues.
Skin rejuvenation
BBL treatments can reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, acne scars, rosacea, and flushing. Some studies even suggest that BBL treatments can change the structure of genes associated with aging, essentially rejuvenating skin at a molecular level.
Acne treatment
The Forever Clear BBL treatment is designed to clear skin without harsh side effects.
Hair reduction
The Forever Bare BBL is designed to consistently and comfortably reduce unwanted hair.
What to expect after Sciton BBL
Right after the treatment, you might notice some redness and darkening of spots on your skin. This generally fades in a few days.
If you have darker pigmentation, you may have some mild peeling or flaking for a week or two.
You can use topical creams and makeup after the treatment, and your provider may recommend a series of treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. You may want to plan on three to six sessions for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Sciton BBL treatment cost?
The cost of a Sciton BBL treatment can vary quite a bit depending on a few factors. Location plays a big role – you’ll likely find prices differ between cities and even between clinics within the same city. The size of the treatment area matters too; treating a small area like the face will generally cost less than treating a larger area like the back or legs. Finally, the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results will also affect the overall cost. Expect to pay anywhere from $400 to $1200 per session.
Is BBL laser worth the money?
That’s a question only you can truly answer! But, generally speaking, many people find BBL laser treatments to be a worthwhile investment. It’s one of the most powerful ways to address a range of skin concerns, from sun damage and age spots to redness and small blood vessels. The results can be quite dramatic, leading to a more even skin tone, reduced redness, and a more youthful appearance. If these are concerns you have and are looking to address, BBL is definitely worth considering, but always weigh the cost against your budget and expectations.
