Light therapy with BBL® HEROic™

BBL® (BroadBand Light) is an innovative non-invasive treatment that utilizes intense pulsed light (IPL) to rejuvenate the skin and treat various skin concerns. BBL® technology is effective on specific conditions such as fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, redness, dilated capillaries and other signs of aging and sun damage.

At Derma-Act Clinic, we offer the latest generation of BBL® technology – BBL® HEROic™, being the only clinic in the country that offers this up to date technology. BBL HEROic (High Energy Rapid Output & Intelligent Cooling) provides significantly better results compared to standard IPL devices and previous IPL lasers. This technology is faster, more efficient and more comfortable for patients, thanks to its intelligent cooling system and rapid distribution of light energy. The procedure not only treats pigmentation, fine lines and vascular lesions, but also stimulates the deep layers of the skin, activating natural regeneration processes for long-lasting results.

What is the difference between BBL® and standard IPL technologies?

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology widely used in aesthetics to treat various skin problems using light energy. IPL devices emit broad-spectrum light pulses that target various pigmented or vascular formations in the skin. This light penetrates the surface and middle layers of the skin, stimulating cells to regenerate and destroying damaged structures such as dilated capillaries or pigment spots. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, more even and looks younger.

BBL® is a patented technology of the American manufacturer Sciton and is an improved version of IPL, created with more advanced technology to achieve better results. While IPL uses a wide spectrum of light energy, BBL offers greater control over the intensity and wavelength of the light, making the procedure more precise. This allows for better targeting of specific skin concerns with less risk to the surrounding tissue and faster, better results.

More precise treatment

BBL® uses patented technology to control light energy, which allows for more precise and effective treatment of skin problems. In this way, the light can be directed to specific depths in the skin with a higher degree of accuracy, reducing the likelihood of damage to the surrounding tissue.

Energy that is faster and evenly distributed

BBL® HEROic™ is the latest generation of BBL® that uses HEROic (High Energy Rapid Output Intelligent Control) technology. It allows the light energy to be delivered faster and more evenly over larger areas of the skin. This means shorter treatment times for larger areas and more efficient results.

Intelligent cooling system

BBL® HEROic™ has an advanced cooling system that ensures maximum comfort during the treatment session. This allows higher energy to be used without the risk of burning or overheating the skin, thus minimizing discomfort.

Long-Lasting Results

Thanks to its more advanced technology, BBL® can not only remove visible imperfections, but also stimulate the production of new collagen in the skin, resulting in a long-term improvement in its texture and elasticity.

How does the procedure work?

The BBL® procedure is non-invasive and quick, usually lasting about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area being treated. Prior to starting, the skin is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied. The specialist uses the BBL® tip to deliver light energy to the skin, which penetrates the deeper layers and stimulates regenerative processes.

Thanks to the intelligent cooling system of BBL® HEROic™, patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, such as a slight warming or a slight stinging sensation. After the procedure, the skin may be slightly red for a few hours, but most patients can return to their daily activities immediately.

What can we treat with BBL® and who is the procedure suitable for?

Pigmentation and Sun Damage

Over time, exposure to the sun leads to pigmentation problems, such as sun spots, freckles and age spots. These dark spots are caused by the overproduction of melanin in response to UV rays.

BBL® uses precisely selected light wavelengths that target the melanin in these dark spots, gradually breaking it down and lightening the pigmentation.

With BBL® HEROic™ technology, skin tone is evened out by treating these problem areas at the cellular level. After a few sessions, most patients notice a significant reduction in sun damage, resulting in a clearer complexion.

Redness and Rosacea

Rosacea and general redness is due to dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. BBL® can also address this problem by gently heating the blood vessels, causing them to constrict and making them less visible. This process soothes overall redness and helps prevent future flare-ups.

Acne and Acne Scars

BBL® is widely recognized as an excellent approach to dealing with active acne because it targets the bacteria responsible for pimples.

Light energy penetrates the skin to reduce active acne by killing bacteria and reducing inflammation. In addition, the heat generated by BBL® helps stimulate skin healing and collagen production, which over time also has a beneficial effect on acne scars.

Regular treatments with BBL® HEROic™ can result in clearer skin, fewer rashes and smoothed scars. BBL® HEROic™ is a great option for people who struggle with recurring acne and are looking for a treatment that will help improve overall skin texture.

Fine lines and Wrinkles

As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, leading to the accelerated formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

BBL® HEROic™ light energy penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, which helps tighten skin and smooth fine lines.

Regular treatments help maintain these results by effectively tackling the visible signs of aging.

Vascular lesions

Vascular lesions such as dilated capillaries, redness and rosacea are common skin problems that can worsen with time and exposure to various factors such as sun, cold or stress. They result from damage to the small blood vessels beneath the surface of the skin, resulting in reddened areas or visible capillaries.

BBL® therapy effectively treats vascular lesions by using specific wavelengths of light that target the hemoglobin in dilated blood vessels. The light energy heats and shrinks these vessels, and gradually they are absorbed by the body and disappear.

With BBL® HEROic™ technology, a visible improvement of vascular lesions is achieved, making the skin smoother and more even. After a few treatments, patients usually notice a significant reduction in redness and visible capillaries, resulting in a fresher, healthier-looking skin.

What Should You Know?

BBL® HEROic™ technology allows for precise settings of light intensity and wavelength, allowing our professionals to tailor each session to meet each patient’s specific needs. This customization ensures optimal results and improves overall treatment effectiveness.

The procedure is suitable for different skin types and tones, ensuring wide accessibility and can be used anywhere on the body.

You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure, with slight redness or slight swelling possible, which usually subsides within a few hours. Patients also notice a slight warming of the skin, which lasts up to an hour after the procedure.
