ScitonĀ® BBL Treatment

Quick Links

What is the ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® Treatment?

ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® is a broadband light therapy designed to target unwanted pigmentation and uneven skin texture for a more youthful appearance. Broadband light (BBL) is the worldā€™s most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) device available. It uses short blasts of strong light to gently heat the uppermost layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production to restore a more even complexion. 

This treatment can be performed on almost all parts of the body but is most commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and hands. It is ideal for targeting: 

  • Acne scarring. 
  • Sun damage. 
  • Skin tightening. 
  • Pigmented lesions. 
  • Vascular lesions. 
  • Unwanted hair.

Who Can Benefit from the ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® Treatment?

Individuals who are looking to improve the overall texture and tone of their skin can often benefit from ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® treatments. Generally, BBL treatments work best on lighter skin tones, though some darker tones may be able to benefit as well. In order to determine if this treatment is right for you, contact our office to schedule a consultation. 

The ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® Treatment Procedure

During your BBLĀ® treatment, you will be asked to wear protective eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light. Then, the special ScitonĀ® BBLĀ® handpiece will be passed across the appropriate areas, delivering high-powered energy to the skin. Most people describe this feeling like a rubber band snap, though it should not be overly uncomfortable. We will also apply cooling technology to ensure that your treatment experience is enjoyable.
