BroadBand Light (BBL)

Your Gateway to Youthful, Glowing Skin

BBL HEROic in Nashville

Are you looking for a gentle, non-invasive way to revitalize tired, sun-damaged skin and restore its youthful radiance? If you’ve been masking imperfections with makeup or concealing signs of sun damage, now is the time to uncover your skin’s natural beauty.

Prolonged sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, lifestyle habits like poor diet or smoking, and genetics can all take a toll on your skin’s health and appearance. Fortunately, there’s an effective way to reverse the appearance of aging and environmental damage and restore your skin to a healthier, more youthful state.

Benefits of BBL HEROic

Face & Body Treatment:

Treats skin concerns anywhere on the face or body.

Minimal-to-No Downtime:

Most patients return to normal activities right away.

Comfortable Experience:

Built-in CoolComfort™ technology cools the skin during treatment, so no numbing cream is needed.

Long-Term Benefits:

Studies show that patients who keep up a regular BBL regimen can reduce and delay the visible signs of aging skin, such as sun damage, visible vessels, and loss of elasticity, in a natural-looking way.

What Happens During Treatment?

A clear gel is applied to the treatment area to help your skin absorb the light energy. As your provider gently glides the handpiece over your skin, you should feel minimal to no discomfort.

Pulsed light improves your skin in two ways. First, it targets vascular and pigmented areas like visible blood vessels and sunspots, breaking them down so your body can absorb them. Second, the heat it generates in collagen-rich areas triggers your body’s natural healing response, reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Most treatments take 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

Aftercare & Recovery

There is minimal-to-no downtime after BBL HEROic, and most patients resume normal activities immediately. Here’s what to expect:

Skin sensitivity:

Your skin may feel warm for 30–60 minutes and sensitive, like a mild sunburn, for up to 48 hours.

Healing process:

Pigmented areas may temporarily darken, and you may notice some redness and swelling. This is part of the natural healing process as damaged cells are replaced with new ones.

Sun protection:

Follow your provider’s instructions, avoid direct sun, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+, especially during the first 72 hours. Depending on your skin’s condition, mild discomfort, dryness, or minor crusting may occur.

Skincare and makeup:

You can typically resume your skincare products and makeup within 1–2 days.

Results & Your Treatment Plan

A week or two after treatment, your skin will look more even, smooth, and glowing. Visible results can appear after just 1–2 treatments, with optimal results after a series. Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks and months that follow.

Your provider will create a customized plan for your skin. Typically, a series of three treatments spaced about three weeks apart is recommended, followed by periodic maintenance treatments to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

BBL HEROic FAQs

What is BBL HEROic?

BBL HEROic is Sciton’s most advanced pulsed light technology. It shares the same core technology as its predecessors, BBL® and BBL® HERO™, and adds Intelligent Control™ (IC™) software and the Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™) for faster, more effective treatments, greater comfort, and exceptional results.

Most patients tolerate it well. It’s commonly described as a quick snap on the skin that fades as the handpiece moves along. Thanks to CoolComfort™ technology, which cools the skin’s surface during treatment, topical anesthesia isn’t necessary.

BBL HEROic can be performed anywhere on the face or body.

Most patients start with a series of three treatments spaced about three weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance. Your provider will tailor your plan to your skin and goals.

Yes. BBL HEROic pairs easily with other Sciton treatments, such as Super MOXI and HALO®, for enhanced results and less downtime. It can also be combined with minimally invasive treatments like injectable fillers or BOTOX®. During your consultation, your provider will build a plan around your skin’s unique needs.

How Does Forever Clear BBL Work?

Forever Clear BBL uses a unique three-step process, each step using a different type of light:

Your skin is first treated with blue BBL light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria at its source, deep in the pores.

Step 2 — Yellow Light:

Next, yellow BBL light reduces inflammation and acne-associated redness for healthier, more luminous skin.

Step 3 — Infrared Light:

For added benefit, your skin is treated with SkinTyte II™, which delivers infrared light in rapid, gentle pulses to initiate the body’s natural healing process.
