What Is BBL Therapy?

Broadband Light therapy is a next-generation intense pulsed light system that emits multiple wavelengths to precisely target brown and red imperfections while sparking dermal collagen renewal. During BBL therapy in Sandy Springs, rapid pulses heat melanin and hemoglobin, causing excess pigment and vessels to break apart so your body can naturally clear them. Because BBL is non-ablative, the skin surface remains intact, minimizing downtime. Most see noticeable clarity after one session and dramatic improvement after a recommended three-treatment series spaced four weeks apart.

What to Expect During Your BBL Procedure in Sandy Springs

After cleansing, we apply cooling gel and protective eyewear. Using the Sciton® HERO™ handpiece, the injector glides across treatment zones, delivering warm flashes that most describe as quick snaps.

The sapphire-cooled tip keeps skin comfortable, so numbing isn't required. A full-face pass takes 15–20 minutes; adding neck or hands is quick. Post-care is simple: avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and direct sun for 48 hours, moisturize, and allow darkened pigment to flake away naturally.

Recovery After BBL Therapy

Expect mild redness that settles within hours, followed by temporary darkening of pigment that flakes away over five to seven days while redness steadily fades. Makeup is safe the next morning, normal routines resume right away, and collagen remodeling continues quietly for weeks—revealing progressively brighter, firmer skin.

How Much Does BBL Laser Treatment Cost?

Because every plan is personalized, total investment depends on factors like the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions in your series, and any package savings you choose. Your provider will give you a clear, written estimate before treatment begins, ensuring there are no surprises and that the plan aligns comfortably with your budget.

BBL (Broadband Light) Frequently Asked Questions

Step into every Atlanta season with luminous skin—schedule your Sandy Springs BBL treatment today.

Can darker skin tones receive BBL?

Yes, but Fitzpatrick types V and VI require extra caution because higher melanin levels increase the risk of post-treatment hyper- or hypopigmentation. During your consultation, we perform a detailed skin analysis, adjust energy settings, and may complete a small test spot to confirm safety. If we feel your complexion would benefit more from an alternative—such as Moxi™ laser, microneedling RF, or a tailored chemical peel—we will explain why and craft a plan that achieves the same clarity goals without unnecessary risk.

Does BBL treat acne scars?

BBL excels at fading the red and brown discoloration that lingers after breakouts, but it provides only mild improvement for true textural (pitted) acne scars. For a comprehensive approach, many Sandy Springs clients pair BBL with collagen-inducing therapies like Morpheus8 RF microneedling or HALO® hybrid laser. Together, these treatments reduce color contrast and smooth surface irregularities, leaving skin clearer and more evenly toned over a series of visits.

Is sun exposure allowed after BBL?

Direct sunlight can reactivate pigment cells while the skin is healing, so we advise strict avoidance of tanning beds and unprotected sun for at least two weeks. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 50, wide-brim hats, and seeking shade between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. helps lock in results and prevent new spots from forming. Light outdoor activities—think shaded walks or errands—are fine the next day as long as you reapply sunscreen every two hours.

How soon can I resume retinol?

Most patients can restart over-the-counter retinol or prescription tretinoin 48 hours after BBL laser treatment in Sandy Springs, provided the skin feels calm and shows no signs of lingering redness or peeling. Begin with applications every other night and increase gradually; pair with a gentle, non-foaming cleanser and a ceramide-rich moisturizer to minimize dryness. If any irritation occurs, simply pause for two days and restart at a slower cadence—your provider can guide you on a customized schedule.

Will my results last?

Pigment and redness improvements from BBL can remain visible for years when combined with diligent sun protection and medical-grade skincare. However, the skin continues to age and accumulate UV exposure, so most clients schedule maintenance sessions every six to twelve months. These periodic “touch-ups” keep brown spots and flushing at bay, support ongoing collagen renewal, and ensure your complexion stays consistently bright and even.
