About BBL Laser Treatment

BBL (BroadBand Light) laser treatment is a non-invasive, advanced phototherapy that uses high-intensity pulses of light to target skin imperfections at the molecular level. It effectively addresses concerns like pigmentation, sun damage, redness, acne, and signs of aging, restoring your skin’s natural radiance and firmness over a series of sessions.

What Is BBL HERO™?

At BROWZ, we use BBL HERO™ (High Energy Rapid Output), the most advanced broadband light system developed by Sciton. This next-generation device delivers faster, more comfortable, and more effective results compared to traditional IPL or older BBL machines.

Why BBL HERO™ Is Different

  • 4x the Speed: It treats larger areas in less time.
  • 2x the Cooling: For more comfort and safety.
  • 3x the Peak Power: More effective results for pigmentation, redness, and skin texture.

BBL HERO™ delivers ultra-precise light energy deep into your skin to stimulate collagen production and target damages without harming the surface. It is ideal for both corrective and preventative skin care. Whether you’re treating your face, chest, or hands, BBL HERO™ ensures faster recovery, longer-lasting results, and a glowing complexion.

Treatment Types

1. BBL Forever Young

Forever Young BBL uses controlled, lower‑energy light pulses over multiple passes to gently stimulate collagen production, improve tone, and reduce early signs of ageing like fine lines, sunspots, and redness. Ideal for clients who want to delay ageing and maintain an even, youthful appearance with little to no downtime.

2. BBL Forever Clear

Forever Clear BBL combines blue, yellow, and infrared light to target acne-causing bacteria, calm redness, and accelerate skin healing. Designed for active acne, enlarged pores, and post-acne marks, it’s perfect for teenagers and adults seeking clearer, blemish-free skin with minimal discomfort.

Treatment Areas

BBL facial effectively treats a wide range of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, redness, acne, and uneven tone on the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks, jawline, and chin. It stimulates collagen regeneration, visibly reduces fine lines, and restores a brighter, smoother complexion, with minimal downtime.
The neck and chest are prone to pigmentation, wrinkles, and sun spots. BBL therapy revitalises this delicate area by evening out skin tone, reducing visible signs of aging, and enhancing skin texture, resulting in a firmer, more elegant appearance.
These high-exposure zones commonly suffer from discoloration, rough texture, and sun-related damage. BBL upper body treatment precisely targets freckles, redness, and pigmentation irregularities, restoring evenness and vibrancy.
BBL lower body treatment is ideal for addressing stubborn pigmentation, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions on the legs. It refines skin texture, reduces discolouration, and brightens the overall appearance.

How to Prepare for BBL Treatments

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Discontinue use of retinoids, acids, and exfoliants 3–5 days before your session.
  • Refrain from waxing, chemical peels, or laser treatments in the treatment area beforehand.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.
  • Inform our specialist of any medications, recent treatments, or medical conditions.
  • Stay well-hydrated and maintain your regular skincare routine, excluding those with active ingredients.

Steps

Consultation

Our process always starts with a one-on-one consultation with our certified skin specialist. We assess your skin type, specific concerns, and medical background to determine if BBL therapy is the most suitable treatment for you. Rest assured, we create a personalised treatment plan that outlines the number of sessions needed and what results you can realistically expect.

Prep

Before the treatment begins, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oil, makeup, or impurities. We provide you with protective goggles to shield your eyes and spread a clear gel over the treatment area to enhance light delivery. We’ll ensure your comfort and address any last-minute questions before the procedure starts.

Procedure

The broadband light device emits short, high-intensity pulses of light that gently penetrate the skin. These light pulses target pigmentation, redness, and other imperfections without harming surrounding tissue. Most clients experience only mild warmth or a snapping sensation. Treatment typically lasts 15–30 minutes, depending on the depth and size of the area being treated.

Post-treatment

After your session, the treated area may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. Our specialist will discuss and provide you with aftercare instructions, including sun protection and gentle skincare guidance. Most clients can resume daily activities immediately, with visible skin improvement typically noticed within days.

I struggled with sun spots and uneven skin tone for years. After a few BBL therapy sessions at BROWZ, my skin is visibly clearer and more radiant. The staff are knowledgeable, the treatment is comfortable, and I love that there’s no downtime. Highly recommend for anyone serious about skin care.

BROWZ is always my go-to clinic, but the BBL treatment exceeded expectations. No pain, no downtime, and within a week, my pigmentation was visibly lighter. Truly impressed.
