Question: What is Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy?

Using innovative filtered light therapy, the BBL gently heats up the target areas of the skin leading to changes that stimulate collagen growth, disrupt small vessels, or break up pigmented regions. For small red vessels, filters are tailored to a wavelength of energy specific to hemoglobin that absorbs the energy leading to small vessel clearing. There is typically little to no discomfort, and no anesthesia is required. BBL is considered supplemental therapy for patients with cosmetic leg veins that persist after sclerotherapy is complete.

Broadband Light is effective in helping other skin maladies including, sun spots, freckles, Rosacea, small facial veins, hyperpigmentation, Port wine stains, hemangiomas, fine wrinkles from sun damage, birth marks, Poikiloderma and unwanted hair of the face, etc.
