WHAT IS BBL?
The Sciton BBL BroadBand Light is an innovative laser treatment technology that can be used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions by administering broadband light to the outer layer of the skin, promoting collagen regeneration and changing the structure of skin cells on a molecular level.
BBL treats age spots, sun damage, redness, broken facial vessels, wrinkles and dull skin. these conditions, as well as the effects of rosacea. It can also reduce the appearance of freckles and birthmarks. The treatment can be performed on all body areas, such as the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.
WHO’S A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BBL?
The best candidates for BBL treatment are those wanting to reverse the effects of the aging process, an active lifestyle, or damage from sun exposure.
Specific conditions that patients often want to address, which can be achieved with BBL therapy, is the following:
- Acne
- Freckles

- Sun spots
- Rosacea and other vascular lesions
- Unwanted hair

During the consultation process, your skin will be examined to determine if BBL treatment is right for you, or if an alternative may be more beneficial for your aesthetic goals.
EXPECTED DOWNTIME AFTER BBL TREATMENT?
No downtime is usually needed after BBL treatment, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately after they leave our office.
Any side effects after BBL therapy are typically mild. It is normal to have some degree of redness or swelling after treatment, but this should quickly fade.
You should avoid direct sun exposure until your skin has healed, wearing sunscreen to help limit UV light sensitivity.
Dark spots may darken after BBL treatment, but this should gradually resolve. Depending on the type and extent of the conditions treated, you should begin to notice skin improvement over the next few weeks.
CAN BBL BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Absolutely. In fact, the mJOULE platform used by MOXI also includes the BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) treatment, the fastest, most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) device in the aesthetic industry.
MOXI and BBL complement each other and here at Dontage we will recommend treatment plans that involve both BBL and MOXI. Additionally, MOXI treatments can also complement dermal fillers and neurotoxins to create customized results.
