Broadband Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Broadband Laser Skin Rejuvenation (BBL) uses specialist laser light technology to scan across the area being treated, reducing or removing signs of damage, and leaving the skin looking clearer, smoother, and healthier.
BBL (broad band light) laser technology effectively treats skin concerns such as age and sun damage; the appearance of visible and broken capillaries, increased or irregular pigmentation (hyperpigmentation), and the loss of collagen that supports the skin with the formation of wrinkles.
It’s also about stimulation:
Laser and BBL systems can also be used to stimulate (rather than remove) and there are, for example, some wavelengths of light that can be used to stimulate the fibroblast cells (the cells that produce collagen and elastin) in the skin, enhancing the amount of collagen and elastin there. By using these concepts in photorejuvenation technology, it is possible to select three wavelengths of light (one for capillary removal, one for pigment removal, and one for collagen stimulation) to be applied to the skin simultaneously to achieve these desired results together. Since this reduces or removes the sun and age changes seen on the skin it can be correctly described as a rejuvenation treatment of the skin by BBL laser.
Benefits
Photorejuvenation is the process of restoring or rejuvenating a skin condition with laser light energy, while also stimulating fibroblast cells to enhance collagen and elastin production for a plumper, tighter, more youthful-looking appearance. BBL Broadband Laser Skin Rejuvenation can help remove/reduce concerns such as:
- Ageing skin
- Broken capillaries
- Freckles
- Lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Poikiloderma
- Rosacea
- Sun damage particularly on the face, neck, chest, and hands
- Treatment areas include the skin of the face, neck, back, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, and legs.
Treatment guide
How does BBL treatment work?
Laser and BBL systems work by specifically targeting undesirable features to remove them. This is done by a process called “selective Photothermolysis”, which means using selected wavelengths of laser light that will target damage and selectively remove it.
For example, to remove red capillaries selectively without affecting other structures in the skin you need to select a wavelength of light that is best absorbed by red only (the colour of your target, the capillaries).
Similarly, to remove abnormal skin pigmentation another wavelength of light is selected that is best absorbed by dark colour only (the colour of your target, abnormal skin pigmentation) so that when it is applied to the skin surface will be selectively absorbed by this alone to remove it while leaving other skin structures unaffected. This is why it is called “selective photothermolysis” (‘photo” – light, “thermo” – by heating, “lysis” – removal).
Pricing guide
Consultation required. Pricing will depend on the treatment area and skin concerns, you will be advised during the consult.
Considerations
How long will the benefits last?
If properly cared for with sensible sun protection and the use of special creams at home the results will be long-lasting and should improve further with time. Top-up treatments at intervals to be determined for your individual needs would be beneficial.
You will be guided and assisted through every stage.
