BBL® Laser Treatment Details
We Are Your Trusted BBL® Laser Experts
If you’ve never heard of BroadBand Light technology or BBL®, it is an innovative technology that helps to improve a range of skin conditions linked to aging, sun damage, and more. During a BBL® Photofacial, your experienced provider will use light energy to heat the top layers of your skin. Every treatment is customized to serve your skin type and to help you achieve your desired results.
Through precise BBL® in MN, our team only needs a few treatment sessions to help you achieve your results. There is no anesthesia required and you’ll need minimal downtime to recover. In addition, our board-certified dermatologists highly recommend regularly getting BBL® photo rejuvenation to improve your skin tone as it stimulates natural collagen production.
What Areas Can We Treat Using the BBL® Laser?
A major benefit of BBL® photofacial technology is how versatile it is, making it suitable for a range of skin concerns.
- Birthmarks. BBL® laser treatment can lessen the appearance of colored birthmarks, most commonly red ones like port-wine stains, by targeting the pigment in the skin.
- Hyperpigmentation. BroadBand Light therapy can take care of uneven skin tone and dark spots caused by age, hormonal changes, sun exposure, and healing wounds and acne.
- Telangiectasia. Thanks to BBL®, you can make spider veins, the broken blood vessels that are close to the surface of the skin of your face, arms, and legs, a thing of the past.
- Rosacea. If you’re experiencing rosacea or flare-ups of redness due to an increase in blood flow on the face, BBL® laser treatment might be the answer.
- Acne, scarring, and enlarged pores. This treatment can trigger the healing process to help clear your acne and redness, reduce the look of large pores, and decrease the appearance of colored scarring.
- Wrinkly hands. BBL® laser treatment increases collagen production, which helps to plump up the skin. This increased fullness and volume will smooth out wrinkles, crepiness, and skin laxity. It can also dramatically lighten and remove dark spots, giving your hands a more youthful appearance.

How Do We Perform BBL® Treatments?
Once we’ve worked with you to develop a customized treatment plan, we will adjust the settings of the BroadBand light treatment system to fit your needs. Before treatment begins, we will cover your eyes to keep them protected from the laser. From there, we will softly pass the laser on top of your skin, paying close attention to the problem areas. The treatment time itself is usually an hour or less depending on the issues that we address. Once your treatment is over, we will apply a soothing cream and provide you with any home-based care instructions. Most BBL® results are noticeable within 2-6 weeks of the first treatment. Our team will work with you to develop a plan to help you achieve your goals.

BBL® technology is a safe, effective treatment for many skin conditions, and it is one of the quickest and most non-invasive treatments on the market. The sessions only take a few minutes and when you’re done, you’ll be able to return to your normal routine.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
We start with 3 sessions and after that recommend 4 treatments per year for optimal maintenance. Generally, The more treatments, the better your skin will look. If you’re not satisfied with the look and feel of your skin after three sessions, discuss touch-up options or a maintenance schedule with your provider. Most people notice significant improvement after just 1-2 sessions!
How Long Does the Recovery Process Take After the Treatment?
Patients are happy to learn that BBL® laser downtime is minimal, and most are able to resume their normal activities almost immediately following the procedure. It’s possible to experience some redness right after the procedure, so make sure that you avoid excessive sun exposure once treatment is over. Other short-term side effects may include sunspots that become darker in the days following treatment, but this should go away after one week.
