Get a natural, no makeup look with BBL (Broadband Light).
You're in the midst of the morning routine—coffee brewing, kids enjoying breakfast before heading to the bus, and you’re ready to embrace the day. The best part? You don't need a full face of makeup to feel confident in your skin.
While concealers and foundations have their place, many of us love the freedom of going barefaced. Wilmington offers so much sunshine, but it can also impact your skin over time. That’s where BBL shines. BBL helps erase years of sun damage and boosts collagen, giving you a clear, radiant complexion without the need for makeup.
BBL (Broadband Light) treatments are here to enhance your skin’s natural glow in a powerful, targeted way.
What is BBL?
BBL is our magic eraser for sun damage, age spots, pigmented lesions, redness, small blood vessels, rosacea, and enlarged pores. The result: years of skin damage and visible signs of aging are greatly reduced, leaving you with a healthy, radiant glow.
Using BBL treatments just once or twice a year, according to a 10-year Stanford University study, results in a more fresh-faced, vibrant look that takes 11 years off of your appearance.
This is because the treatment works at a molecular level and actually alters the expression of genes. Instead of a solely cosmetic change, your skin becomes more youthful from the inside out, setting it apart from IPL.
How Does BBL Heroic Work?
BBL Photofacial works by using light energy to gently heat up the upper layers of your skin. It is a non-invasive procedure in which the heat absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates your body’s natural ability to generate new collagen. The process alters the aging pattern of the skin and renews it with a more youthful appearance.
BBL is such a sought after treatment because it is safer than IPL, more impactful long-term, and can be customized to each individual patient. Your provider is able to have more control over the treatment and customize it for you.
Why We Love BBL Heroic
There are countless reasons to fall in love with BBL HEROic, but here are just a few:
- It corrects multiple conditions at once, such as sun damage, pigmented lesions, age spots, redness, rosacea, small blood vessels, and a dull complexion.
- It is a quick 15-30 minute treatment with no post-treatment downtime required.
- It is safe and effective for all areas of the body.
- The result is a beautiful, healthy glow
What To Expect At Your Appointment
The procedure is gentle and safe, and only between 15 and 45 minutes long. At that point, your eyes will be protected with safety goggles or glasses, and we are ready to begin.
We will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area, then gently guide the handpiece over the area. The handpiece will be used to deliver pulses of light energy to heat the skin and to stimulate collagen. As the light is being absorbed, expect to feel a warm rubber band snap sensation. Simultaneously, the chilled sapphire crystal keeps the skin cool and comfortable.
Following the treatment but before you leave, we will apply our mineral SPF, and you are free to go on about your day as usual.
Post-treatment, most patients may continue to feel warm for an additional 30 to 60 minutes.
Why We Chose BBL HEROic
At Self Skin Studio, we improve the already smooth and effective process by using the BBL HEROic‘s advanced technology that promotes uniform energy delivery, making treatments faster, more effective, and more comfortable for our patients. It is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market.
The Do's and Don'ts of BBL
As you prepare for your BBL skin treatment, you will need to consider these do’s and don’ts.
Before BBL Treatment
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning and self-tanners for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to treatment.
• If you have a history of cold sores, we recommend an antiviral within 12 hours before and after treatment.
After BBL Treatment
• After your BBL treatment it’s important to avoid heat. That includes strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, hot showers, etc. It is also important to avoid the sun. Keep your skin protected by covering it and using SPF with zinc. You will need to wear a hat if we treated your face.
• Mineral makeup can still be applied, but avoid retinols, abrasive cleansers, and facial waxing.
• You will start to see results two to five days after treatment, with maximum results after two to three weeks.
• If you are currently being treated for rosacea, avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and caffeine for 24 hours.
• Your normal skin care regimen can resume in 7 days.
