How Can BBL HEROic Transform Sun-Damaged Skin?

Days of fun in the sun can lead to tell-tale signs on the face, chest, and arms, including sunspots, stubborn redness, uneven tone, and rough texture. Dr. Garcia and her team at Desert Eyesthetics are pleased to introduce BBL HEROic, the most advanced broadband light platform available from Sciton. Ready to transform sun-damaged skin into a radiant, glowing complexion?

What Is BBL HEROic?

BBL stands for BroadBand Light, an intense pulsed light technology that uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to target pigmentation, redness, and other complexion concerns. Sciton has long been the leader in this space, and HEROic is their most significant innovation.

What sets HEROic apart is its Intelligent Control technology. As the handpiece gently glides over your skin, the device tracks real-time spatial data and automatically adjusts each pulse for optimal precision and consistency. This high-speed precision ensures consistent, precise energy delivery across your entire treatment area, whether we’re treating your face or entire back, delivering uniform, predictable results.

BBL HEROic is considerably faster than the original BBL HERO platform, making it possible to treat larger areas of the body in a single session, without compromising the exceptional outcomes our patients have come to expect.

What Is the SkinSmooth Filter?

One of the features we’re especially pleased to offer with HEROic is the SkinSmooth filter, powered by the 640S wavelength. Standard BBL treatments target pigment and vascular concerns. SkinSmooth goes further, specifically addressing skin texture, including enlarged pores, fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and general roughness.

For patients who want to improve both tone and texture without booking separate treatments, SkinSmooth makes that possible in one comfortable session.

What Skin Concerns Can BBL HEROic Address?

BBL HEROic can address a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Sun damage, age spots, and freckles
  • Redness and visible capillaries
  • Uneven or dull skin tone
  • Rough texture and enlarged pores
  • Fine lines around the eyes and mouth

BBL HEROic is safe for use on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, shoulders, back, legs, and virtually any area with sun-damaged or red skin.

What Can You Expect During and After Treatment?

BBL HEROic sessions are quick and comfortable, with most patients describing each pulse as a brief, warm sensation with virtually no discomfort. Depending on how many areas you’re treating, most appointments take 30 minutes or less. You will not need any downtime, meaning you can go straight back to your daily activities.

In the days following treatment, the pigment in the treated areas will darken before naturally clearing. This natural ‘peppering’ effect is an indicator that the underlying pigment has been successfully targeted and is being lifted to the surface. Most patients see visible improvement within two to four weeks, with results continuing to refine over time.

How Many Treatment Sessions Will You Need?

Many patients see meaningful results from a single treatment. However, you may need a series of sessions to achieve your desired results. Dr. Garcia will evaluate your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

Maintaining Your HEROic Glow

While BBL HEROic effectively clears existing sun damage, we recommend consistent use of a professional-grade SPF to prevent new sun damage from forming. Many patients choose to schedule “maintenance” treatments once or twice a year to keep their complexion vibrant, clear, and youthful.
