Recently IPL or Intense Pulsed Light technology has improved a lot with the introduction by Sciton of the BBL HERO (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output).
The new generation of BBL HERO equipment releases energy three times greater and four times faster than its predecessors for more effective treatments.
It has been seen to rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level and can be used to treat brown pigmentation, redness, either rosacea erythema or acne, and sagging skin.
It also treats small telangiectasias or broken capillaries or other vascular lesions.
Also, it can be used in permanent hair removal.
As part of the Forever Young + BBL Forever Body program, BBL HERO offers faster treatments with great power and a good cooling system for the skin to protect it and avoid irritation.
The technology allows the practitioner to quickly move the handpiece with a moving technique to treat the legs, arms, chest or abdomen faster and easier.
As in any other IPL, patients will feel the flash of heat that accompanies each pulse, which is generally well tolerated by patients, although in sensitive cases topical anesthesia can be used.
As the light from the equipment is absorbed by the melanin of the abnormal pigment, it darkens, thus helping to have a better result. Over the days your body goes through a natural healing process that will remove the abnormal pigment and make way for younger cells with better looking skin.
The light energy will also stimulate the production of new collagen.
The procedure does not cause a social discharge. Treated skin may briefly feel like it has been sunbathing in the first few hours after treatment.
It is important to use sun protection for at least a couple of weeks afterwards.
