FAQs
-
BBL uses intense pulsed light to penetrate the skin, where it targets specific pigments and vessels. The light energy is absorbed by the skin, which helps to break down excess melanin (causing pigmentation issues) or destroy unwanted blood vessels (such as those causing redness or rosacea). The treatment also stimulates collagen production, which improves the skin's texture and elasticity over time.
-
BBL is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight warming sensation or a mild "rubber band snap" feeling during the treatment.
-
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart is often recommended. For maintenance, one or two treatments per year may be enough to maintain your results. However, some individuals may see significant improvement after just one session.
-
After treatment, you may experience slight redness or a sunburn-like sensation, but this typically resolves within a few hours. In some cases, pigmented spots (like sunspots) may darken before flaking off within 3 to 5 days, which is a normal part of the healing process.
-
After BBL treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed for a few hours, but you can resume normal activities immediately. Pigmented spots may darken initially before they gradually fade away. It’s important to protect your skin from the sun after the treatment to avoid further pigmentation and irritation.
