Photofacial is a popular skin treatment that utilizes IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, also known as BBL (Broad Band Light). BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage. BBL energy allows us to precisely treat age, sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. The laser is tunable which means we have the ability to tailor specific treatments for each individual patient.
How does BBL work?
The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colors and making smoother, vibrant, and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions.
The conditions that can be treated include:
- Pigmented lesions (freckles and age spots)
- Vascular lesions (small blood vessels)
- Acne
- Skin Firmness
- Uneven skin texture
- Unwanted hair
Ultra Laser Treatment
LaseMD ULTRA (also called Lutronic ULTRA) is a non-ablative skin resurfacing treatment that rebuilds glowing, healthy skin. This fractional laser uses energy to create tiny microchannels just below the skin surface. By inflicting controlled damage on skin, these microchannels kick-start the body’s natural wound-healing response and, in the process, boost production of collagen and elastin. For even better results, the microchannels created by the laser can also act like a delivery system straight to the deeper layers of skin. As a result, any serums layered on immediately after treatment—such as those that contain antioxidants, peptides, or growth factors—can better penetrate, thereby maximizing their efficacy.
When we combine BBL + Ultra together we are treating ALL layers of the skin to address all signs of pigmentation, sun damage, fines lines, wrinkles, acne scars, facial veins, texture, pore size, and prevention! These two lasers work extremely well together by enhancing results without adding any extra downtime.
Recommendation- 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart
