PHOTOREJUVENATION
Experience the transformative power of BBL (Broadband Light) Photorejuvenation. Our advanced Sciton BBL system is designed to target and treat a variety of skin concerns, restoring a youthful, radiant complexion with minimal downtime.
How BBL Photorejuvenation Works
BBL Photorejuvenation uses light energy to stimulate collagen and reduce pigmentation, leaving skin smoother, clearer, and more even-toned. It’s a non-invasive treatment that fits easily into your schedule. For best results, a series of three to five sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, is recommended. Book a consultation with Permanent Choice to start improving your skin.
The Benefits of BBL™
BBL™ uses pulsed light to gently heat the upper layers of skin. This reduces age spots, freckles, broken capillaries, and rosacea while stimulating collagen for firmer, younger-looking skin. Treated pigmented spots may darken like coffee grounds before fading or flaking off.
Research from Stanford University shows BBL™ can restore gene expression in aged skin. It’s effective for sun damage, redness, and uneven texture, delivering noticeable results.
Who is a Candidate?
BBL Photorejuvenation is best for people with lighter skin who want to improve sun damage, redness, uneven tone, or pigmentation. Ideal candidates are healthy, have realistic expectations, and will protect their skin from the sun before and after treatment.
It may not be suitable for people with darker skin, certain skin conditions, pregnancy, recent tanning, or certain medications. Consult with the team to see if BBL is right for you.
What Can BBL Photorejuvenation Treat?
BBL Photorejuvenation is a versatile solution for numerous skin issues, including:
Sun damage and sun-induced freckles (face, arms, hands, chest, and more)
Flushing and redness
Broken capillaries, including those around the nose
Brown spots and age spots
Skin texture irregularities
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and wrinkles
BBL Photorejuvenation Results
With a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, you can achieve dramatic, long-lasting results, including smoother, more youthful, and radiant skin. Full results typically appear within 3 months as collagen production increases and your skin continues to improve.
What to expect
* If you are pregnant or become pregnant during your treatment, services will be paused for your safety. Please inform us in advance so we can reschedule your sessions accordingly.
*Adverse reactions are rare and can be unpredictable.
Pre-Treatment:
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after treatment, and start hydrating 72 hours in advance. Check medications for light sensitivity—antibiotics, Z-Pac, and prescription topical creams must be stopped 10 days prior. Avoid NSAIDs 48 hours before; Tylenol is okay.
Your skin tone must be the same or lighter than at your first treatment. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen (preferably zinc oxide) at least 3 weeks before and during your sessions, reapplying every 2 hours in sunlight.
Take oral Benadryl the night before and for 3+ days after BBL to reduce swelling, which is common, especially on the cheeks and nose.
Avoid glycolic/lactic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid 5 days prior. Avoid microdermabrasion, facials, chemical peels, waxing, retinol, and sun-sensitizing meds 10 days prior. Avoid sun, tanning beds, and sunless tanners 4 weeks prior. Hydroquinone can be used up to the day of treatment.
Always inform your technician about any medications or supplements that may increase light sensitivity.
Day of Procedure
Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, makeup, sprays, or creams. If you haven’t completed the online intake form, come 10 minutes early.
During the consultation, the technician will review your skin goals, assess your skin, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. They will answer any questions to ensure you feel confident and comfortable.
Most clients feel a warm, snapping sensation during treatment, similar to a rubber band snap with flashes of heat. Discomfort is generally minimal, and cooling features help manage the heat.
Post-Treatment:
After treatment, expect redness, a sunburn-like feeling, and flushing for up to 2 hours or longer. Pigmented spots may darken, and scabbing can occur—apply Bacitracin and let it heal naturally. Swelling is normal, usually lasting 72 hours but sometimes up to a week. Stay hydrated, use a cold compress, and keep the area elevated if needed.
For aftercare, wash gently with tepid water and mild soap, and pat dry. Avoid hot tubs, pools, and gyms for 72 hours. Do not exfoliate or scratch the area for 1 week. Protect your skin from the sun for 2 weeks using full-spectrum sunscreen and avoid prolonged exposure. Light mineral-based makeup can be applied immediately. Moisturize liberally to help skin heal and exfoliate naturally.
