BBL - Target and Correct Skin Damage from Age and Sun

BBL (Broadband Light Therapy)

BBL, or Broadband Light therapy, is a versatile, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can effectively address sun damage, broken capillaries, age spots, rosacea, and acne.

After Care Instructions for BBL

You may experience redness and mild swelling for 3 to 5 days after your treatment. Minor scabbing can develop on the treatment areas which will naturally heal. Your overall skin texture may feel dry and like sandpaper, but these are normal side effects that will subside after 4-7 days of treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and all retinol products for two weeks after your treatment.
Avoid scented lotions and soaps, exfoliating creams, shaving, swimming pools/spas with chlorine or other chemicals until sensitivity has completely subsided.
Avoid activities that cause excess sweating until sensitivity has completely subsided.
Avoid picking or scratching the treatment area.
Sleep elevated to avoid additional swelling.
We recommend using the following gentle products post procedure: ZO gentle cleanser, Hydrinity HA Restorative Serum, Hydrinity Restorative HA Masque, and Skinbetter ToneSmart Mineral SPF.
