BroadBand Light™ in Philadelphia, PA

After your BBL treatment, you can get right back to your normal activities. However, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

We should be able to estimate your costs in your initial consultation once your BBL plan has been created. BBL costs will be based on what area(s) you are having treated, the treatment area(s) size, and the number of appointments you need. Once we evaluate your skin's health and listen to your concerns, our team will work with you to create your BBL plan. Body+Beauty Lab frequently offers specials on treatments like BBL — so watch our website or ask about our current deals during your appointment.

The number of BBL sessions needed will be estimated in your consultation once we assess your skin. Typically, patients achieve their complexion goals after three appointments. Although, if you have serious sun damage, discoloration, or pigmentation, you might require more treatments. In your consultation, we will listen to your goals and develop your custom treatment plan. Your treatments will be scheduled about one month apart to allow your skin to heal.

Almost all areas of skin may be improved with BBL, although some of the most commonly treated areas are the face, chest, hands, neck, shoulders, and upper back. These are the areas that typically have the most damage since they are regularly in the sun. The hands and face are also most often affected by lifestyle and natural aging, so treating these areas may help improve your total appearance. In your initial consultation, tell us about all your concerns so we can develop your ideal BBL plan.

Made by Sciton, the innovative BroadBand Light is an advanced IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment. The dual lamps and wide range of energy wavelengths allow us to adjust your BBL treatment for your needs and goals. With different energies, BBL can improve brown and red lesions, plus dark and light spots, without affecting the areas of skin and tissue nearby. Effective and safe, BBL can give you a rejuvenated complexion faster compared to many other laser skin treatments.

The energy wavelengths in a BroadBand light treatment can be adjusted for each patient's unique needs, so BBL is safe for all skin tones. To get your best results, we recommend you avoid UV (ultraviolet) light exposure (both natural sunlight and tanning beds ) for at least 10 – 14 days before your appointment. Tanned skin has higher levels of pigment (melanin), which can absorb the energy and impact your outcome. The treated areas will be extra sensitive to UV exposure, so you should not use tanning beds and limit sun exposure throughout your treatment and for a minimum of 10 – 14 days following your last appointment.
