About

Head to Toe Transformation

BBL is the next generation of laser treatments. Having been a popular treatment in the US for many years,  studies at Stanford University show the benefits of the treatment include turning off the aging genes and turning on the anti-ageing genes overtime.

The Sciton BBL laser is a versatile and advanced device used for various dermatological and cosmetic procedures. It utilises a broad spectrum of light energy to target specific skin concerns effectively. One of the key features of the Sciton BBL is its ability to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including sun damage, pigmentation irregularities, vascular lesions, acne, and signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Results speak for themselves

The latest technology is Broadband Light (BBL). These different wavelengths are picked up by pigmentation, red veins and the water content in the skin, allowing for precise treatment of red veins, pigmentation, skin tone, texture and wrinkles. Results have proven to be better than those achieved by traditional IPL.

Ongoing Results

As the pigment is reduced along with the red veins, the settings can be changed to give more rejuvenation, which is where the studies have shown that the aging genes get switched off and the anti-aging jeans get switched on. Initially, 1-3 treatments are usually recommended and thereafter, maintenance sessions are recommended every 4 to 6 months .

Treatment step-by-step

Consultation
At your consultation, you may have a Visia skin scan assessment which gives a clear view and record of your pigment, red veins, pore size, wrinkles, and more. You may be recommended to also have a Halo treatment - a hybrid fractional laser - to get even more textual results. It's important to not have a tan or be using fake tan town. A patch test is required a few days before the treatment.

Treatment
Depending on the severity of the veins and pigment, there may be little or more pain but this is short-lived. The laser delivers pulses of energy to the skin and is moved across the treatment area in a systematic manner to ensure even coverage and consistent results. Some areas may require additional treatments.
after care
Aftercare
The skin will feel hot will be red and may well swell. This depends on the severity of the treatment and will be discussed with you. Using clinic grade skincare products and Skinade will improve and speed up results. Adequate SPF is a must. The results will be evident and at your follow up we will discuss further treatments but usually significant fewer treatments are needed using BBL compared to standard IPL.
