Introduction to BBL Hero
- BBL Hero is a light-based treatment developed by Sciton, a US-based manufacturer of aesthetic lasers and light-based devices, BBL Hero uses broad band light and pulsed light technology for advanced skin rejuvenation.
- This treatment delivers high-intensity, accurate and controlled pulses of light energy to the skin.
- The light energy will then lead to controlled heating of the targeted tissue causing micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and activate the body's natural healing mechanisms to promote cell renewal.
- It will also be selectively absorbed by chromophores (light absorbing molecules) in the skin such as melanin and haemoglobin to treat different conditions.
- BBL HERO has in-motion technology and a cooling system to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment experience, with the option to quickly change adapters and customize filters for each procedure.
BBL Hero is available at the clinic, offering the latest upgrades in light technology. It stands out as the most advanced option in light technology for skin rejuvenation.
BBL Hero is a groundbreaking advancement in skin rejuvenation, harnessing the power of BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to address a wide range of skin concerns. This treatment is a non-invasive solution designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, as well as target active acne and other common skin issues. With its high energy rapid output, BBL Hero is an upgraded version of traditional BBL treatments, delivering faster, more effective results for clients seeking smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. By utilizing broadband light, BBL Hero treatments stimulate the body’s natural healing process, making it an ideal choice for those looking to revitalize their skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How BBL Hero Works
The BBL Hero system operates by delivering precise pulses of dual lamp light energy to the skin, targeting unwanted pigments and vascular lesions. This advanced technology uses light energy to break down damaged cells, which are then naturally replaced by the body with healthy, new cells. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more even in tone. The BBL Hero handpiece features a built-in cooling plate, ensuring the skin remains comfortable throughout the treatment. With improved pulse duration and a selection of nine wavelength filters, practitioners can quickly adapt the device to treat a variety of skin conditions, including sun damage, active acne, and even unwanted hair. This flexibility allows for highly customized treatments that address each client’s unique skin concerns.
