What is BBL?

How BBL Works

BBL delivers pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin, targeting pigmented and vascular lesions. The light energy is absorbed, helping reduce discoloration and improve overall skin clarity.

Treatment Process

A topical gel is applied before treatment. The BBL device delivers light pulses across the skin, creating a warm sensation. Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes with little to no downtime.

Safety and FDA Approval

BBL is FDA-cleared for the treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions. It is safe when performed by trained providers, with side effects limited to temporary redness or mild swelling.

Areas Commonly Treated

BBL is most often used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, though it can be applied to almost any area affected by sun damage, redness, or pigmentation.

A Patient-Focused Approach

At Seaport Medspa, BBL® treatments are performed with medical precision and a focus on patient education. Providers tailor settings and treatment plans to each patient’s needs, ensuring safe and natural-looking outcomes.

The Science Behind BBL

BBL works by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light energy into the skin. This energy is absorbed by areas of excess pigmentation or visible blood vessels, causing them to gradually fade. At the same time, BBL stimulates the skin’s natural repair process, promoting collagen production and long-term skin health. Regular treatments can help maintain clear, even-toned, youthful skin.

The Treatment Experience

Treatment begins with cleansing the skin and applying a cooling gel. The handheld device delivers light pulses, which patients often describe as a quick snap of warmth. Sessions last 20–30 minutes depending on the area. Mild redness may occur afterward, but most patients resume daily activities immediately. Darkened pigmentation spots may flake off naturally over the following days.

Expected Results

Results develop gradually as pigmentation fades and skin tone evens out. Improvements are often visible after one treatment, though a series of sessions is usually recommended for best results. With consistent treatments, patients can maintain clearer, healthier skin over time.

Safety and Research

BBL is FDA-cleared and widely used in medical aesthetics. It has a strong safety record when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as redness or slight swelling.

Areas of Treatment

BBL is effective on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas commonly affected by sun damage. It addresses brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone, making it a versatile option for skin rejuvenation.
