What is BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL)?
Broadband light (BBL) therapy utilizes energy-releasing technology to enhance the aesthetics of your skin and also makes it look more youthful and smoother. It works by employing therapeutic-grade light energy that mildly warms the skin and stimulates collagen production. Individuals with an array of skin issues may benefit from BBL because it can help with rosacea, broken blood vessels, sun damage, or unwanted freckles. Also, it creates a more even skin texture and helps generate a fresh, luminous complexion. To help you with your aesthetic goals, we can combine BBL treatments with other aesthetic procedures. At DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA, our doctors proudly offer BBL as an innovative treatment because it helps restore our patients' confidence in their skin.

An ideal candidate for BBL is any individual dealing with hyperpigmentation or unevenly textured skin. Patients may experience these issues because of acne, sun damage, damaged capillaries, or rosacea. BBL also helps make the skin appear more youthful by stimulating the production of collagen. We can change the settings used during the BBL treatment, which allows us to treat a variety of skin issues. Before undergoing treatment, we will explain how BBL technology can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

how is a bbl treatment performed?
After creating the perfect treatment plan, we adjust the settings of the BBL system to fit your unique needs. Before beginning the therapy, we will cover your eyes to protect them from the light of the laser. Next, we will lightly pass the laser over your skin while concentrating on the treatment areas. The duration of the procedure depends on the severity of your skin issues and if we completed additional treatments during the session. Typically, we can complete BBL procedures in about one hour or less.
Broadband Light™ Therapy FAQ
Does BBL therapy work?
At DeRosa Center Facial Aesthetics, broadband light therapy is a trusted and effective treatment. It is a versatile treatment that can address multiple skin complaints at once. Further, BBL therapy is fast-acting, with many patients reporting noticeable improvements in their skin after only one treatment.
How long is recovery?
There is little downtime associated with BBL therapy. You are free to go about with your daily life and even to wear makeup the same day as your treatment. If you have hyperpigmentation or brown spots, you may notice these spots have an irregular texture for the first week or so after treatment, before they fall off completely.
How often do I need treatment?
Even though you will see results after one treatment, you will want to continue on with broadband light therapy sessions according to your personalized plan. Following through with your sessions will guarantee you the best possible outcomes for the longest period of time. In general, patients receive around 4 BBL therapy sessions per year for optimal results.
How many BBL treatments will I need?
The number of BBL sessions needed can be discussed in your consultation once Dr. DeRosa examines your skin's condition. On average, patients achieve their skin goals after three appointments. Although, if you have serious pigmentation, discoloration, or sun damage, you may need more treatments. During your consultation, Dr. DeRosa will consider your concerns and develop your BBL plan.
What areas can be treated with BBL?
Almost all areas of skin may be treated with BBL; however, the most commonly treated are the face, hands, neck, chest, shoulders, and back. These are the areas that tend to have the most visible damage because they're frequently in the sun. The face and hands are also the first places to be affected by lifestyle and natural aging, so treating these spots may help revitalize your overall appearance. During your consultation with Dr. DeRosa, tell her about all your concerns so she can create your ideal BBL plan.
Is BBL safe for all skin tones?
Since the energy wavelengths in a BBL treatment can be adjusted for your unique needs, BBL is safe for all skin tones and types. For your best results, Dr. DeRosa suggests you avoid unprotected UV (ultraviolet) light exposure (both natural sunlight and tanning beds) for at least 10 – 14 days before your BBL session. After tanning, your skin has an increased amount of pigment (melanin), which may absorb the energy and affect your outcome. The treated areas will be especially sensitive to UV light, so you need to continue to limit your sun exposure and not use tanning beds throughout your treatment and for a minimum of 10 – 14 days after your last treatment.
when will i see results from bbl therapy?
Following the treatment, a soothing lotion is applied to your skin. We will also give you post-treatment care instructions, and we recommend reducing your exposure to the sun. Otherwise, patients can generally return to their normal daily routine. Following the initial treatment and within 2 – 6 weeks, patients can see results from BBL. Generally, patients will see optimal results after multiple BBL treatments. To achieve your desired outcome, we will help you determine how many sessions you need.
