BroadBand Light (BBL) is an innovative technology increasingly used in aesthetic dermatology. It utilizes light energy with wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 1400 nm to treat a wide variety of skin concerns, including superficial and deep hyperpigmentation, fine blood vessels, redness, rosacea and acne, as well as all aspects related to the skin aging process.
This therapy not only improves the appearance of the skin but also works at the cellular level, triggering a process of gene rejuvenation. As a result, it can significantly slow down skin aging and revolutionize anti-aging prevention.
Thanks to the use of appropriate filters, BBL achieves the effect of selective photothermolysis, which—compared to other previously used technologies—shortens recovery time, reduces the risk of skin damage and post-treatment discoloration, while still delivering highly satisfactory clinical results.
The possibility of personalized treatment makes this technology one of the most advanced tools in aesthetic medicine. Proper selection of treatment parameters allows the procedure to be performed almost year-round, even in patients with darker skin phototypes.

Important:
Light-based therapies should ideally be performed before aesthetic medicine procedures such as botulinum toxin injections or hyaluronic acid fillers, as the heat delivered to the skin may shorten their duration of effect.

Pre-treatment Recommendations:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning
Discontinue the use of strong exfoliating products and retinoid-containing cosmetics
Avoid using photosensitizing medications and dietary supplements

Apply high sun protection (SPF 50+) regularly
Avoid intense sun exposure
How long do the effects of the treatment last?
The results of the treatment are long-lasting. Proper skin care, including sun protection, is essential to maintain the achieved results at the highest level.
For optimal therapeutic outcomes, we recommend a series of 3–4 treatments per year. The number of sessions and the intervals between them are determined individually during a consultation.
