Understanding Broad Band Light (BBL)

BroadBand Light (BBL) is a light-based technology that uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to support overall skin appearance. The Sciton BBL platform allows for precise adjustments in wavelength, pulse duration and cooling, enabling your practitioner to tailor the treatment to your individual needs.

When applied to the skin, the light energy is absorbed by natural colour within the tissue, where it is converted into heat. This controlled warming stimulates the skin’s normal renewal responses and can contribute to a refreshed and more even-looking complexion.

Many people consider BBL to assist with the appearance of:

  • Areas of uneven colour
  • Visible surface irregularities
  • General facial redness
  • A lack of clarity or radiance
  • Mild textural changes

BBL can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas commonly exposed to environmental stressors.

It may also be integrated into a broader aesthetic plan, complementing other technologies such as hybrid fractional laser, radiofrequency microneedling or an appropriate home-care routine. Your practitioner will assess your skin during consultation and recommend suitable options.

How It Works

BBL delivers broad-spectrum light energy to the upper layers of the skin while leaving the surface intact. This light is absorbed by naturally occurring colour within the tissue, where it creates a gentle warming effect.

This controlled heat encourages the skin’s normal renewal responses, which may contribute to a clearer, more balanced-looking complexion over time. The warming effect can also support fibroblast activity, helping to maintain healthy collagen and elastin levels for subtle improvements in overall tone and texture.

As the skin renews itself following treatment, many people notice a fresher, more refined appearance.

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Prior to the treatment being performed, a full consultation with your doctor, nurse or dermal therapist will ensure that BBL corrective is the right treatment for your particular concerns.

Once a treatment plan has been determined your eyes will be protected with safety goggles or glasses. The treatment will feel like a warm snap of an elastic band as the light is absorbed by certain areas. No pain relief is required however, topical local anaesthesia may be applied to more sensitive areas. 

The procedure will take from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the area that is being treated and the indication for the procedure. 

Your practitioner will explain what to expect during and after the procedure, including post-care recommendations and the expected treatment timeline.

How long do results last?

The longevity of results depends on the individual’s skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure habits. With proper maintenance and daily sun protection, results can last many months, and periodic top-up treatments may help sustain the effect. Following a treatment course, maintenance with Forever Young BBL is recommended every 3 months 

Combination treatments (e.g. BBL plus Halo Laser) may be recommended to enhance or prolong outcomes.

What happens after my treatment?

Redness and mild warmth are common immediately after BBL and may persist for several hours.

If pigmentation was treated, spots will typically darken within 2–5 days, then flake or fade naturally over the following week.

Most people return to normal activities immediately after treatment, although it is advised to:

  • Avoid heat for 48 hours
  • Apply sunscreen daily (SPF 50+)
  • Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks 
  • Avoid exfoliating products or active ingredients until skin sensitivity subsides

Results become more visible after each session, with progressive improvement following a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

Results are dependent on the initial condition of the skin, the number of treatments performed, the areas treated and the patients compliance with after care and sun avoidance.

Full aftercare instructions will be provided following the treatment.

What are the risks of treatment?

All energy light-based procedures carry potential risks. Common temporary effects include:

  • Redness and swelling for 1–2 days, longer in susceptible individuals
  • Mild darkening of pigment before it flakes away
  • Temporary dryness or tightness

Less common but possible side effects include:

  • Blistering or scabbing (from excessive energy exposure)
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation
  • Rare infection or textural change

Your practitioner will conduct a detailed skin assessment and explain all risks and contraindications before treatment.

BBL is not suitable for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking certain medications, or have active infections, recent sun exposure, or certain skin conditions.
