Understanding BBL for Skin Firming
BBL or Broad Band Light Therapy, also known as IPL (Intensed Pulsed Light) or photo rejuvenation that delivers broad-spectrum visible and advanced infrared light energy into the skin to regenerate skin cells and improve skin health. At SKN BAR Rx, we can easily perform combination treatments with this single device. From skin tightening to reducing redness and brown spots, BBL can do it all.
SkinTyte is a modality used during a BBL treatment that mainly focuses on improving skin laxity, sagging skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. SkinTyte is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that is appropriate for all skin types that provides lasting results for treating signs of aging. Additionally, this treatment does not have any downtime, so patients can resume regular activities immediately following the treatment.
Benefits of BBL with SkinTyte
BBL is beneficial for quickly treating a wide variety of concerns including:
- acne and acne scars
- brown spots and uneven pigment
- fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture
- Redness and rosacea
BBL is not technically a laser treatment, but rather a light therapy treatment. This treatment can be customized to your specific skin type and concerns to effectively address concerns. It can also be used on a variety of areas on the body (not just the face). Other common areas of treatment include the neck, chest, and stomach for skin tightening purposes, and arms, hands, legs and back for treating pigmentation.
What to expect: Skintyte + BBL Treatment
During a SkinTyte treatment, a SKN BAR Rx laser specialist will apply the laser over the treated area four times in a constant motion. Each pass delivers a gentle heat to promote collagen production, and using a constant motion increases SkinTyte’s benefits. This warm sensation is more calming and comfortable than other laser treatments, and the results can up to 12 months or longer. Dr. Gloria Lopez, M.D. and Cosmetic Laser Specialist says “I’ve had patient fall asleep during the procedure”, noting how comfortable this treatment truly is.
After the treatment, some patients may experience mild redness and swelling for a few minutes following the procedure which will reside quickly. Patients may resume regular activities following this treatment, and your provider may apply tinted spf to reduce any redness post-treatment.
RESULTS: Skintyte + BBL Treatment
Results will vary by patient depending on age, skin condition, skin health and nutritional status.
Charry Chavelas, M.D. and dermatologist-venereologist states, “When tightening the skin with SkinTyte, you can see results after only one session. For many patients, one session is enough. The results get better with time, reaching a maximum effect five to six months after the first session.” As your body and skin has time to create more collagen, your results will gradually become more noticeable. We normally recommend three to four treatments that are spaced out 4 weeks apart for the best results.
“The immediate contrast is often striking. The long-term results are more dramatic, perceived as diminished rhytides and laxity, improving texture and overall cosmetic appearance”. -Dr. Gloria Lopez, M.D.
