The Proven Fix for...Just About Everything
Okay, so not everything. But we swear by BBL. It's the treatment that’s actually proven to treat sun damage, age spots, redness, small blood vessels, rosacea, and dull skin. Say goodbye to years of skin damage and visible signs of aging, leaving you with a youthful glow and rejuvenated complexion.
The BBL Photofacial uses light energy to gently heat up the upper layers of your skin, stimulating your body’s natural ability to generate new collagen. The result? Smoother, more vibrant, healthy skin. Sound too good to be true? In a Stanford University study, researchers found that patients appeared 11 years younger than their actual age when BBL was performed 1-2 times per year. Yes, they looked younger at the end when the study began!
