BroadBand Light (BBL) is the gold standard in IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology—offering a non-invasive way to correct discoloration, calm inflammation, and visibly rejuvenate your skin. This versatile treatment uses gentle pulses of light to target browns (like sunspots and freckles), reds (like rosacea and broken capillaries), and even oranges caused by chronic inflammation. BBL not only clears visible damage but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

How BBL – BroadBand Light Treatment Works
BBL™ works by delivering targeted light energy deep into the skin to break up pigment, clear redness, and stimulate cellular renewal. The light is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin—two key sources of discoloration—allowing it to reduce age spots, freckles, sun damage, vascular lesions, and acne.
But BBL treatments do more than just correct—they can actually help reverse skin aging. A groundbreaking 2019 Stanford study found that regular BBL treatments can change the expression of genes associated with aging and longevity. This means BBL in Arlington has the potential to restore your skin to a more youthful genetic state, making it one of the few treatments proven to work at both the surface and cellular level.
To reverse the effects of long-term sun damage, an initial series of 3–6 sessions is typically recommended, followed by 2–3 maintenance treatments per year. With consistency, you’ll see clearer, brighter, firmer skin that looks healthier and ages more gracefully over time.

BBL (BroadBand Light Treatment) FAQs
What is the Downtime of a BBL?
BBL has minimal downtime. After your first treatment, it’s common to experience some redness or blotchiness, and areas of pigment may temporarily darken and rise to the surface—sometimes resembling tiny coffee grounds—as your skin begins to shed damaged cells. This exfoliation process typically resolves within 6–10 days. For those continuing with BBL as part of a maintenance plan, you’ll likely notice fewer visible changes post-treatment. Instead of pigment surfacing, your body gradually clears deeper discoloration through internal processes like lymphatic drainage. These follow-up treatments tend to have even less visible downtime and are focused on reinforcing your results and boosting long-term skin health.
Can I Be Tan or Have Been in the Sun Prior to a BBL Treatment?
“No. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least 4 weeks before your appointment to ensure safe and effective results.”
How Much Does BBL Hurt?
Most patients experience no major discomfort during a BBL treatment. Some clients compare the treatment to the snapping of rubber bands on the skin; it results in a mild stinging sensation that is tolerable and fades within minutes. Unlike some other laser treatments, the uncomfortable feeling is fleeting and only occurs during the procedure; once you go home, you will experience no more discomfort!
Do You Use Any Numbing for a BBL?
No, we do not numb for BBL because it will dampen your results. Numbing is vaso-constricting and causes some of the reds in the skin to go away. To ensure the best results, your skin expert wants all of the colors in your skin to be as bright as possible. This allows for the BBL laser to fully treat all the sun damage and unwanted pigmentation present in the targeted areas.

More than a quick fix, it’s an investment in your skin’s future—improving tone, refining texture, and even restoring youthful gene expression.
