What Is BBL®?
BBL®, or BroadBand Light, is a Sciton®-powered IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology widely recognized as the most powerful device of its kind. It works by delivering precise pulses of light energy into the skin at varying wavelengths, gently heating the upper layers and stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration process. The result is clearer, more even, and more youthful-looking skin.
BBL® HERO is the next-generation version of BBL®, delivering treatments faster and more efficiently while maintaining exceptional results. Both options are non-invasive, require no downtime, and are safe for use on the face and body including the chest, arms, hands, back, legs, and feet.
BBL® HEROic™
BBL® HEROic™ is the next generation of BroadBand Light technology from Sciton®. Featuring proprietary Intelligent Control (IC) and Skin Positioning System (SPS) technology, HEROic is the world’s first smart pulsed light device, delivering automated, consistent treatments with exceptional precision and speed.
HEROic treats a wide range of skin concerns including pigmentation, redness, rosacea, acne, hair removal, and skin laxity across the face and body. It can also be combined with MOXI® and HALO® for enhanced, comprehensive results.
Your provider will recommend whether BBL®, BBL® HERO, or BBL® HEROic is the right option for your skin goals.

What to Expect: The BBL® Treatment Experience
BBL® treatments at Sanctuary Medical begin with a consultation to determine whether BBL® or BBL® HERO is the right fit for your skin goals. Your provider will design a personalized treatment plan and schedule your appointment.
On the day of your treatment, the device is applied to the skin and delivers quick, precise pulses of light energy to the targeted areas. Most treatments are completed in approximately 15 minutes. The procedure is non-invasive and well tolerated by most patients.
Following your treatment, you may notice some temporary redness or minor bruising in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few days. In most cases, makeup can be applied immediately after treatment. There is no recovery period, and patients can return to their normal activities right away. Sunscreen is strongly recommended following treatment.
While improvement can be seen after a single session, optimal results are typically achieved over a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Am I a Good Candidate for BBL®?
BBL® is suitable for a wide range of patients and skin concerns. Ideal candidates are looking to address sun damage, uneven skin tone, redness, acne, or visible signs of aging on the face or body. Patients in good overall health with realistic expectations tend to see the best outcomes.
Your provider will evaluate your skin during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate BBL® treatment plan for your goals.
