As we head into Spring, many of us are looking forward to spending more time outdoors. Getting sun is essential for maintaining healthy Vitamin D levels, but it is also the number one culprit behind premature skin aging. It is vital to keep your skin protected while enjoying all of your favorite outdoor activities. Many of us did not heed this message in our younger years and are now, unfortunately, paying the price. The good news is that it's not too late to correct the damage done in your sun-worshipping days. In fact, it has just become easier. It is now possible to take your photo rejuvenation treatment to the next level without increased discomfort or downtime! For decades, IPL (intense pulsed light) has been the gold standard for treating photo-aging. Broad Band Light (BBL ® ) is the newest innovation in this arena, offering all the benefits of IPL at a higher level thanks to a unique cooling tip. BBL ® treats sun damage from below the surface of the skin in the same way as IPL. What is truly unique about the Sciton BBL ® is that it can alter genetic molecular expression. This means that BBL ® actually creates younger skin. With regular BBL ® treatments you can prevent cellular aging and alter the DNA expression of cells, reverting them back to a youthful state. BBL ® is also a highly customizable treatment. Many patients come to us with specific problem areas they want to target. Spot size can be adjusted on the BBL ® , focusing on individual vessels or brown spots and delivering a precise dose of energy right where it's needed most to optimize results. For example, if certain areas of the face are more red than brown pigmented, the Sciton BBL ® can be adjusted during treatment to better address these specific concerns. BBL ® targets a wide range of skin concerns such as broken capillaries, bruising, rosacea, pigmentation, acne, and skin aging. Our skin consultation includes a Visia facial skin analysis using a 3D state-of-the-art camera. We can peek below the surface of the skin to see sun damage that is invisible to the naked eye and has not yet emerged to the surface. After a series of BBL ® treatments, evaluations can show dramatic improvements beneath the skin. In the past, we have paired IPL with a Clear + Brilliant ® treatment. The same combination approach can be done with BBL ® and Clear + Brilliant ® . Combination treatments allow for even better results for the patient who may be looking for the added benefits of smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as color improvements. Clear + Brilliant ® is a mild laser resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime. Clear + Brilliant ® can give you that radiant glow by reducing the appearance of pores, smoothing the skin and enhancing tone and texture. Pairing these two procedures together is a great recipe for maintaining beautiful youthful looking skin for years to come.
