BBL Frequently Asked Questions:

What is BBL HEROic?

BBL HEROic (High Energy Rapid Output with intelligent control) is the world’s first smart broad-band light system, designed by Sciton for faster, more precise, and more comfortable treatments. It uses advanced pulsed light technology to target pigmentation, redness, acne, and visible signs of aging—delivering clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.

What does BBL HEROic treat?

BBL HEROic is one of the most versatile light-based treatments available. It can effectively improve:

• Sun damage and brown spots

• Redness and small visible vessels

• Active acne

• Uneven tone and texture

• Fine lines and early signs of aging

• Skin dullness and lack of radiance

It’s ideal for full-face rejuvenation as well as treatment on the body.

What areas can be treated with BBL HEROic?

BBL HEROic can safely and effectively treat multiple areas, including:

• Face

• Neck

• Chest / Décolletage

• Arms & hands

• Legs

• Back

• Shoulders

• Abdomen

• Buttocks

Because BBL HEROic is fast and customizable, it is commonly used for large areas as well.

Is BBL HEROic safe for all skin types?

BBL HEROic is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–V when performed by a trained medical provider. Its intelligent cooling (CoolComfort) and Smart Filters allow personalized treatment settings that protect the skin while delivering powerful results.

Do I need topical numbing before a BBL HEROic treatment?

Topical anesthetic is usually not required. BBL HEROic uses a sapphire crystal with continuous cooling to keep the skin comfortable during the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and tolerable. However, numbing can be discussed if you have concerns or very sensitive skin.

How does BBL HEROic work?

BBL HEROic delivers rapid pulses of broad-band light into the skin, which specifically target pigment, redness, and bacteria. The light energy is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, allowing it to break up discoloration, minimize vessels, and stimulate healthy skin cell turnover. Over time, the skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking.

How many BBL treatments will I need?

Most patients see visible improvement after 1 treatment, but a series of 3–4 sessions is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help keep the skin clear and vibrant. Your provider will create a customized plan based on your skin type and concerns.

Is there any downtime after BBL HEROic?

Downtime is minimal. After treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink or warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off naturally over 5–7 days. You can return to normal activities immediately, but strict sun protection is essential for best results.

How fast will I see results?

Many patients notice brighter, clearer skin within 7–10 days. Redness and small vessels may improve even sooner. Continued collagen stimulation leads to ongoing improvement over several weeks.

Can BBL HEROic be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. BBL pairs well with:

• MOXI

• Chemical peels

• SkinPen microneedling

• Dermal fillers

• Neurotoxin treatments

• Medical-grade skincare

Combination therapy provides more comprehensive skin rejuvenation and longer-lasting results.
