How It Works
During a BBL HEROic treatment, a clear gel is applied over the treatment areas to help your skin absorb light energy. As the treatment begins, your provider gently glides the handpiece over the skin with minimal to no discomfort.
Pulsed light improves your skin in two ways. First, it targets pigmented areas like sunspots and visible blood vessels, breaking them down for natural absorption by the body. Second, the generated heat acts within collagen-rich areas, triggering your body’s healing response and resulting in smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
BBL HEROic features Intelligent Control™ software and a Skin Positioning System™ that facilitate faster, more effective treatments with enhanced comfort for every patient.

What to Expect
Preparation
Your provider will assess your skin during a consultation and create a customized treatment plan based on your specific concerns. Avoid direct sun exposure and discontinue use of retinoids or exfoliating products for several days before your appointment.
Treatment
A clear gel is applied to the treatment area and the BBL device glides over your skin, delivering gentle pulses of light. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap on the skin that fades swiftly. CoolComfort™ technology keeps the skin cool throughout the procedure, so topical anesthesia is not necessary.
Recovery
Your skin may feel warm for 30–60 minutes after treatment and appear slightly pink. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off over the following days. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 50+ sunscreen for at least 72 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Results
Within one to two weeks of your BBL HEROic treatment, your skin will appear more even, youthful, glowing, and smooth. Visible results can often be seen after just one to two treatments, with optimal results generally achieved after completing a series of three treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your sessions. Research shows that patients who maintain regular BBL treatments can actually reduce and delay the long-term signs of aging in a natural-looking way.
