What is the difference between a BBL and an IPL photofacial?
We will explain and compare both the BBL and the IPL photofacial treatments in this light therapy 101 guide.
What is a BBL photofacial treatment?
Broad Band Light, developed by Sciton technology, is a non-ablative treatment that can be done on the face and body.
BBL is innovative technology that sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage. Broadband Light energy can be used to treat age spots, small facial veins (telangiectasias), rosacea, solar lentigines (freckles), brown spots, poikiloderma, skin laxity, acne and remove hair.
It treats the dermal layer of the skin, but doesn’t remove any of the top layering or the epidermis. This treatment utilizes pulses of light energy to heat the surface of the skin while creating a healing process for improved elastin and collagen production.
