Broadband light (BBL) therapy sydney
Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is a gentle, non-invasive skin treatment that uses advanced broad-spectrum light technology to address a wide range of common skin concerns. Unlike traditional lasers, BBL uses customisable filters to precisely target sun damage, facial redness, pigmentation, and visible signs of ageing.
BBL skin treatments stimulate your skin’s natural repair processes, helping you achieve a clearer, more even, and radiant complexion.
what can broadband light (BBL) treat?
Redness and Flushing: Reduces facial redness, broken capillaries, and symptoms of rosacea
Pigmentation: Targets freckles, age spots, and sunspots for a more even skin tone
Texture and Tone: Smooths the skin and minimises the appearance of pores and fine lines
Collagen Stimulation: Encourages new collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin
Versatile Areas: Safe for the face, neck, chest, hands, and other sun-exposed areas
BBL is also the foundation of “Forever Young BBL”, a maintenance protocol designed to slow visible skin ageing with regular treatments.
how does bbl work?
BBL delivers pulses of filtered light energy that are absorbed by pigment (melanin) or blood vessels in the skin. This energy gently heats and treats targeted areas, breaking down unwanted pigmentation or redness. At the same time, BBL stimulates fibroblasts to encourage new collagen and promote overall skin rejuvenation.
