Pre-Treatment Guide For Broadband Light Therapy
What Is Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy?
Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to target and eliminate damaged skin cells caused by sun exposure, aging, and other environmental factors. By delivering intense pulses of light, BBL stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone. This treatment can address a variety of skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, acne scars, and fine lines. BBL is suitable for most skin types and tones and provides noticeable, long-lasting improvements with minimal downtime.
How to Prepare for BBL Therapy
To get the best results from your BBL treatment, follow these steps:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
- Do not use tanning beds or apply self-tanning products for 2 weeks prior.
- Refrain from using products containing retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA) 5–7 days before treatment.
- Shave the treatment area (if applicable) the day before your appointment.
What To Expect During Your BBL Therapy Treatment
BBL treatments are typically quick, lasting around 20–30 minutes depending on the treatment area. During the session, you may feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation as the light pulses work to rejuvenate your skin. There is no need for numbing cream, as the procedure is well-tolerated by most clients. After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or slight darkening of spots, which usually fades within a few hours to a day. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately after the procedure.
