Heal Your Skin With Light
The skin is your primary protective barrier, constantly exposed to direct sunlight, environmental pollutants, debris, oils, bacteria, and other harmful impurities and pathogens. Over time, despite maintaining a healthy at-home skincare regimen, your skin can start looking dull, damaged, and scarred. BBL HERO channels calibrated wavelengths of light energy to destroy unwanted pigmented lesions and stimulate natural cellular regeneration, helping you achieve smooth, radiant, and bright skin.
What is BBL HERO?
BBL HERO is the next generation of IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. The procedure involves channeling specific wavelengths of light energy into targeted areas on the skin. The light energy specifically targets and destroys unwanted pigments, such as brown spots, age spots, and sunspots, which are naturally metabolized and expelled by your body. Meanwhile, light energy also penetrates the deep dermis to stimulate collagen production, which makes your skin look firm, taut, and youthful.

The BBL HERO Treatment
Your BBL HERO treatment starts with a consultation with our medical providers. We discuss your symptoms and goals, examine your skin, and analyze your skin type and conditions. After a thorough evaluation, our medical providers curate a personalized treatment plan, which involves adjusting the wavelength of the light to address your specific skin conditions. After cleansing your skin, the BBL HERO handpiece is gently moved around the treatment areas to deliver light energy. The treatment concludes within 30 to 60 minutes.
The BBL HERO Recovery
After your BBL HERO treatment, you can expect mild redness, swelling, and tenderness around the treatment areas. Your skin might look flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately, but strenuous activities and direct sunlight should be avoided for a few days. There’s no real downtime. Your medical provider will provide some aftercare guidelines that you must follow accurately to ensure optimal recovery.
Studies Confirm the Long-Term Benefits of BBL Technology.
Research shows that patients who maintain a regular regimen of BBL treatments can reduce and delay the long-term appearance of aging skin, such as photodamage, telangiectasias, and skin elasticity, in a natural-looking way.
BBL HERO FAQs
What are my aftercare guidelines?
To ensure optimal results from your treatment, please follow the post-treatment guidelines provided to you. Avoid direct sunlight, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, avoid exfoliating products, and stay hydrated. With the help of proper aftercare, you’ll be on your way to looking and feeling your best in no time!
When will I see the results?
You can usually start seeing results within the first few days of treatment. The pigmented lesions and spots will look darker after the treatment, but that’s a sign that the treatment is working. After a few days, the pigmented spots will flake off. Meanwhile, your body will continue producing new collagen fibers, so the results will improve over several weeks and months.
What is BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic is the most advanced pulsed light technology available today.
While BBL HEROic shares the same core technology with its predecessors—BBL® and BBL® HERO™—HEROic introduces revolutionary technological advancements, including Intelligent Control™ (IC™) software and the Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™). These innovations facilitate faster, more effective treatments, enhanced patient comfort, and exceptional results for every patient.
What happens during a BBL HEROic treatment?
During a BBL HEROic treatment, a clear gel is applied over the treatment areas to help your skin absorb light energy. As the treatment begins, you should feel minimal to no discomfort as your provider gently glides the handpiece over the skin.
Pulsed light improves your skin in two ways. Initially, it targets highly vascular and pigmented areas like visible blood vessels or sunspots, breaking them down for absorption by the body. Additionally, the generated heat acts within the collagen-rich areas, triggering the body’s healing response and resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.
Is BBL HEROic painful?
A treatment with BBL HEROic is generally well-tolerated by most patients. It is commonly described as feeling like a quick snap on the skin, with the sensation fading swiftly as the handheld device pulses over the skin. Thanks to BBL HEROic’s CoolComfort™ technology, which cools the epidermis during the procedure, topical anesthesia is not necessary. After the treatment, it is normal for the skin to feel warm for about 30 to 60 minutes.
What is the downtime for a BBL HEROic treatment?
There is minimal-to-no downtime following treatment with BBL HEROic. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
Key points to remember, include:
Skin sensitivity: Your skin may feel sensitive, like a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 48 hours.
Healing process: You might notice temporary darkening of pigmented areas, along with some redness and swelling. These are part of the natural healing process where damaged cells are replaced by new ones, repairing your skin.
Post-treatment care: Follow your provider’s advice, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect the skin, especially during the first 72 hours post-treatment. Depending on the skin’s pre-existing condition, mild discomfort, dryness, or minor crusting may occur.
Skincare and makeup: You can typically resume using skincare products and makeup within 1-2 days post-treatment.
What areas of the body can BBL HEROic treat?
BBL HEROic can be performed anywhere on the face or body.
What results can I expect after a BBL HEROic treatment?
A week or two after a BBL HEROic treatment, your skin will appear more even, youthful, glowing, and smooth. Visible results can be seen in just 1 to 2 treatments, while optimal results are generally seen after completing a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your BBL HEROic sessions.
How many BBL HEROic treatments do I need?
Your provider will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific skin revitalization needs.
Typically, a series of three treatments, spaced approximately three weeks apart, is recommended. Once you have reached your goals, periodic maintenance treatments will help keep your skin healthy and glowing.
How long is a BBL HEROic treatment?
A BBL HEROic treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size and areas being treated.
Can I combine BBL HEROic with other treatments?
BBL HEROic is easily combined with other Sciton modalities, such as HALO® and MOXI™, for enhanced results and less downtime. It may also be combined with other minimally invasive procedures, such as injectable fillers or BOTOX®. During your consultation, your provider will create a plan to address your skin’s unique needs.
