We've tested it for you... BBL, the pulsed-light treatment to target blemishes, redness and aging skin. 

No, we're not talking about Brazilian Butt Lift here, but Broad Band Light, also known as broad spectrum light. BBL treatment is a new generation of intense pulsed light therapy. This light therapy technique targets the superficial layers of the skin, enabling cells to regenerate on a new, healthier, clearer and firmer layer. 

"This new BBL generation offers a number of advantages, not least the ability to treat faster and with simpler aftercare. Fewer sessions will be needed to treat vascular or pigmentary problems on the face and body. Active acne is also one of BBL's targets." - Doctor Olivier Claude

The process involves depositing light energy in the form of pulsed light at different frequencies on the skin. Pulsed light acts on the skin by creating small thermal lesions that stimulate the cells that produce collagen-producing cellscells, triggering the skin's regeneration process. 

What's more, light acts in multiple layers of the skin and, depending on the frequency used, can treat pigmented lesions, targeting the melanin that forms brown spots and the broken blood vessels that create redness and rosacea.
