BBL

Broadband Light (BBL) laser skin treatments are the most powerful type of IPL laser technology available today. BBL uses light energy to harmlessly penetrate the skin’s surface to help skin heal and improve from within.

BBL is used on the face, neck, arms, chest, and shoulders to treat a variety of concerns, including:

  • Brown spots
  • Redness
  • Acne scars
  • Lax or thinning skin

The treatment is gentle on the skin and requires little to no downtime. We recommend a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.

Dr. Burke is proud to offer Forever Young BBL, a laser designed to treat signs of aging on the face, neck, and chest. Forever Young BBL addresses overall skin pigmentation, visible blood vessels, dark spots and age spots, and helps tighten skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is designed to address signs of aging at all levels of the skin, penetrating deeply to address deep wrinkles while addressing superficial pigmentation and vascular issues at the same time, resulting in brighter, tighter skin.

Forever Clear® BBL

Forever Clear BBL is an innovative 2-part laser treatment designed to reduce the appearance of active acne and reduce redness and inflammation due to acne. This laser treatment uses blue BBL light to destroy acne-causing bacteria in the pores and uses yellow BBL light to reduce inflammation and redness in the skin, giving you glowing, refreshed skin without acne to help you look your best with just a few short treatments.

Forever Bare® BBL

If you are bothered by the appearance of unwanted hair, Forever Bare BBL is the treatment for you. Designed to evenly heat hair follicles, Forever Bare uses BBL light energy to destroy hair at the root and prevent it from returning. This laser is more effective at targeting hair follicles than traditional hair removal systems and uses a built-in cooling system to keep your skin cool and comfortable during treatment, allowing us to treat large areas at one time.

BBL® HERO™

We also offer BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) to provide more dramatic results in less time. We can treat large areas of the body in a few minutes with the BBL HERO laser skin rejuvenation system, improving the appearance of active acne, freckles, age spots, vascular lesions, rosacea, and even removing unwanted hair on the back, arms, legs, and chest.

BBL vs. IPL

While treated conditions and results are similar, BBL is faster, more effective, and more comfortable than IPL. BBL treatments have been found to affect the skin at a cellular level to reverse the aging process.
