Sciton BBL® looks great on its own, but many clients choose to pair it with other aesthetic treatments for even better results. Combining BBL® with services like microneedling, DiamondGlow®, or medical-grade skincare can help improve both skin texture and clarity simultaneously. This comprehensive approach is especially popular for clients who want noticeable results that still look natural. During your consultation, your provider will help you decide what treatments work best together for your goals.
Sciton BBL® is renowned for its ability to target and eliminate clusters of melanin. By breaking up sun-induced pigment, the treatment allows the skin to shed damaged cells and reveal a much brighter, more even tone.
For those struggling with persistent flushing or visible blood vessels, the BBL® energy is absorbed by the redness, causing the vessels to close and be absorbed by the body. This significantly improves overall facial balance and tone.
Unlike traditional IPL, Sciton BBL® has been shown to influence gene expression associated with aging. Regular treatments help the skin maintain a more youthful state by consistently renewing the skin's surface.
Most clients describe the sensation as a series of quick, warm snaps, similar to a rubber band against the skin. The Sciton system includes integrated cooling to ensure the surface of the skin remains comfortable throughout the process.
While you may see improvement after just one session, a series of three to five treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal results for sun damage or redness. These are usually spaced about four weeks apart.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness for a few hours, and pigmented spots will darken and naturally flake off within about a week. You can typically return to your normal daily activities immediately.
Sciton BBL® is highly effective on most lighter to medium skin tones. Because the light targets pigment, it may not be suitable for very dark skin tones or recently tanned skin. Your provider will perform a skin assessment during your consultation to ensure safety.
Initial results can be seen within one to two weeks as the darkened pigment sheds. Your skin clarity will continue to improve with each subsequent session, with long-term benefits appearing as new collagen forms.
It is essential to avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two to four weeks before your treatment. Tanned or sunburned skin cannot be treated safely with BBL® technology.
