If you’re looking to restore your glow and turn back the clock without downtime, BroadBand Light (BBL) HERO™ photofacials may be your new favorite skin treatment.

What Is BBL HERO?
BBL HERO stands for High Energy Rapid Output™—an evolution of traditional intense pulsed light (IPL) that delivers unmatched results. It’s the most powerful IPL device in the world, offering four times the speed, three times the peak power, and twice the cooling capacity of previous systems. BBL HERO treats both the face and body quickly and comfortably, helping to reduce pigmentation, redness, sun damage, and signs of aging while promoting vibrant, youthful skin from within.
What BBL HERO Can Improve:
- Age spots and sunspots
- Freckles and pigmentation irregularities
- Redness and rosacea
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness
- Small veins and broken capillaries
This non-invasive solution is effective on the face as well as the chest, arms, legs, and back—making it ideal for both focused and full-body rejuvenation.
Our BBL Photofacial Treatments
BBL HERO™ Photofacial
Our signature light-based treatment uses rapid pulses of intense light to target imperfections and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The result: luminous, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with virtually no downtime.
Forever Young BBL™
Designed to extend youthful skin function, this setting targets deeper layers to improve skin firmness and elasticity. A Stanford University study revealed that regular Forever Young BBL sessions can change how skin cells behave at the genetic level—essentially causing them to act younger over time. This treatment is ideal for long-term maintenance and graceful aging.
Forever Clear® BBL
A next-generation acne treatment that clears breakouts at the source. Using a sequence of blue, yellow, and infrared BBL light, Forever Clear eliminates acne-causing bacteria, calms inflammation, and promotes healing—without the need for medication or topical creams.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel applied to ensure comfort. The handheld BBL device is then passed over your skin, delivering bright pulses of light. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band. Discomfort is minimal and brief.
Treatment Duration
Sessions typically take only a few minutes—especially for larger areas like the back or legs—making this a true lunchtime treatment.
Post-Treatment and Downtime
There is little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur and typically resolves within a few hours. Because the skin remains intact, makeup can be applied immediately after, if desired.
When Will You See Results?
Many patients notice improvements in skin clarity and brightness within a few days. With regular sessions, results become increasingly dramatic, including firmer skin, refined tone and texture, and lasting radiance.
