Dr. Buford and our experienced team combine the most advanced technology with personalized care, helping you enjoy smooth, glowing skin at every age and stage of life.
BBL by Sciton is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that uses broadband light (BBL) to target common skin conditions caused by aging and the sun's harmful UV rays. BBL's non-invasive technology delivers light energy into the epidermis and dermis, stimulating collagen production and encouraging your body's natural healing processes. BBL is highly effective in treating a range of skin concerns, including age spots, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and sagging skin. Patients can choose from various treatment options like BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) for faster results or Forever Clear BBL to address acne and other skin conditions.
The BBL procedure begins with the application of a cooling gel to the treatment area for maximum comfort. Your aesthetic specialist will then use the BBL device to deliver light energy to the skin's upper layers. The controlled heat absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates collagen production and encourages the turnover of damaged skin cells. Most BBL treatments take between 15 to 45 minutes, with the total treatment time depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after a session.
BBL by Sciton targets a variety of common skin conditions while providing all-over rejuvenation for a smooth, luminous glow.
Minimizes sun spots and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure.
Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and age-related skin laxity.
Improves overall skin texture and tone by evening out discoloration.
Targets pigmented areas for a more uniform skin appearance.
The Forever Clear BBL option addresses active acne, redness, and inflammation.
BBL by Sciton is versatile enough to treat various areas on the body, including:
BBL by Sciton requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some redness or mild swelling may occur, similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.
After a treatment, it's essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the treated area. Following a good skincare routine and keeping your skin well moisturized will enhance and prolong your results.
Patients often notice visible improvements in their skin's tone and texture within a few weeks of treatment. Age spots and sun damage gradually fade, revealing clearer and more radiant skin. The results of BBL by Sciton can last for several months to years, depending on your skin type and how well you care for your skin post-treatment. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain these benefits to keep your skin looking youthful and refreshed.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-5 sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Your BEAUTY by BUFORD aesthetic specialist will design a treatment plan customized to your individual needs.
BBL by Sciton is safe for many skin types, but your provider will evaluate your skin to determine the best approach for your specific concerns. Patients with darker skin tones are at a higher risk of complications from BBL and may be better suited to other treatments such as RF microneedling.
You may start to see improvements in your skin's tone and clarity within a week after your first session, and the enhancement will continue as your skin heals and new collagen forms.
While BBL by Sciton primarily targets pigmentation issues and uneven texture, it also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness. We also offer Renuvion skin tightening for patients seeking an effective treatment for sagging skin.
Most patients describe a mild sensation of warmth or tingling during the treatment. The cooling gel applied before treatment, combined with BBL's gentle technology, minimizes discomfort, making this a very easy and tolerable treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before your appointment. Discontinue any retinol or exfoliating products to reduce skin sensitivity.
Yes, combining BBL with other skin treatments like chemical peels or microneedling can enhance your results and address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
