Why BBL Hero Is the Best at Improving Skin Texture

Rough, dull, and uneven texture is a common complaint in our dermatology office. Textural irregularities can occur as part of the natural aging process but are also attributed to chronic sun exposure, smoking, acne breakouts, and a build-up of dead skin cells.

If you would like to improve skin texture without the downtime and discomfort of ablative lasers, we highly recommend treatment with the BBL Hero (High Energy Rapid Output). It harnesses the latest Broadband light laser therapy to improve rough skin texture. It delivers significant textural improvements than traditional laser devices.

How Does BBL Hero Fix Uneven Skin Texture?

The BBL Hero by Sciton allows dermatologists to address age and sun-related skin concerns faster and safer than ever. It sends short pulses of high-intensity light energy into the dermis. This produces smoother-looking skin that is firmer and more evenly toned.

The energy heats the upper layers of the skin–triggering collagen regeneration. In addition, the broadband light turns on anti-aging genes and is designed to work on all skin types and tones. The BBL Hero is the next generation of light therapy and boosts your body’s self-healing response for visible improvements within a few days of the treatment.

What Makes BBL Hero Different?

This photo-rejuvenation therapy is the latest iteration of BBL technology. A single pulse of broadband light from the BBL Hero lasts just a few milliseconds, which means that a whole face treatment takes less than 5 minutes, and an entire back can be done in under 10 minutes.

Further, this next generation of BBL therapy is four times faster than before and has three times the power. It is a more effective and faster treatment that easily fits your busy lifestyle. You can treat rough skin texture on your lunch break with plenty of time to spare. BBL Hero also boasts two times the cooling power of traditional BBL, thanks to the CoolComfort Technology. Compared to IPL and regular broad band light treatments, BBL Hero is the hands-down winner regarding patient comfort and convenience.

It is also safe for the entire body, including the neck, chest, arms, legs, and back. In addition, because it is so fast and powerful, our dermatologists can treat larger areas quickly, delivering amazing results from head to toe.

Am I a Good Candidate for BBL Hero?

The speed, advanced technology, and versatility of the BBL Hero allow our dermatologists to customize treatments accordingly. Candidates for treatment are those seeking to:

  • Improve skin texture
  • Even out skin tone
  • Eliminate hyperpigmentation and brown spots
  • Reduce the appearance of acne scars and cherry angiomas
  • Eliminate vascular lesions under the skin
  • Improve the appearance of redness and large pores

Is the Treatment Comfortable?

Each pass of the BBL handpiece produces a mild tingling sensation and warmth. The procedure is well-tolerated thanks to advanced cooling technology, and most patients don’t need a topical anesthetic.

How many BBL Hero Sessions Are Needed?

You will see noticeable improvements in skin texture after a single treatment. However, the number of Hero sessions will depend on your skin type and the severity of your concerns. Many of our patients benefit from a series of two to three BBL sessions, spaced one month apart.

No Downtime or Recovery

This is a non-invasive procedure that can be done during a lunch break. There is virtually no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately. The most common side effects are minor swelling and redness, but this resolves in a few days. The best way to maintain results is to limit sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors.

Moxi Laser for Melasma

Melasma can cause significant emotional distress. This skin condition is common, especially among women who are pregnant. For years, dermatologists have typically avoided recommending laser skin treatments, as they can worsen melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. However, the Moxi laser treatment is different. Consider talking to a dermatology provider to find out if it might be right for your skin condition.

What is Moxi laser treatment and how does it work?

Moxi is one of the latest laser treatments available from Sciton, the innovative maker of other effective laser treatments like Halo and BBL. Moxi is a fractionated laser that delivers low-level, non-ablative energy to the skin. In other words, it’s a gentle treatment that provides a comfortable experience–with dramatic results.

The Moxi laser works by creating microdamage in the targeted areas. The microdamage stimulates the skin to generate collagen and increase cell turnover, providing a rejuvenating effect.

Why is Moxi laser treatment appropriate for melasma?

As noted, most laser skin resurfacing treatments are not appropriate for patients with melasma. However, the Moxi is designed for all skin tones and types, including skin with hyperpigmentation because of its temperature. Moxi doesn’t produce the high levels of heat that many other cosmetic lasers do, which means it won’t inadvertently worsen skin conditions.

In addition to being an effective melasma treatment, it also offers other cosmetic benefits. It’s appropriate for patients interested in anti-aging benefits, including those already seeing signs of aging and interested in prejuvenation (preventive anti-aging treatments). Since this laser treatment triggers collagen formation, it can help delay the formation of lines and wrinkles, as well as address wrinkles already there.

What can I expect from Moxi laser treatment?

Moxi laser treatments take about 15 minutes to perform (full face treatment area), although there will be some minimal prep time, as well. Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, the Moxi is so gentle that there is little to no downtime. Your face may look a little puffy and feel a little rough, but these side effects will dissipate quickly. After it heals, your skin will look noticeably brighter, healthier, and rejuvenated, with reduced hyperpigmentation. Although you’ll see some results immediately, you may need two to three treatments to achieve your desired look.
