Photorejuvenation is well-known, and there are many synonyms for it, such as IPL/OPT/AOPT/DPL/BBL, each of which represents a device and technology. BBL laser is as popular as other photon projects. There is even a saying that “if the ordinary IPL is compared to light luxury goods, then the BBL is Hermes”, which shows its status.
We all want to have smooth and flawless skin, but many people have spots and pigmentation problems due to improper skin care. We all know that these can be solved through laser. BBL (BroadBand Light) technology can make your skin better!
In addition to solving spots, acne, dullness, red bloodshot and fine lines at the skin rejuvenation level, BBL laser also has first-class anti-aging and anti-inflammatory repair capabilities, whether it is facing spots, vascular dilation, acne marks or fine lines, BBL laser can help you restore the health and beauty of your skin. The most excellent feature is low-temperature anti-aging. With the unique effect of gene anti-aging, BBL laser has excellent Youthful Skin function.
Let us explore the magic of BBL laser and start to understand this amazing IPL technology!
What is BBL Laser?
BBL (Broad Band Light) laser is a broad spectrum light, which is mounted on the Profile super platform of Sciton Company in the United States. Professor Patrick Bitter of Stanford University School of Medicine has clinically verified the photon device with anti-photoaging for ten years.
BBL is a broad spectrum of intense pulsed light, which is a new generation of photon skin rejuvenation instrument. It has six bands, and different bands can be selected for different skin problems, such as acne, pigment spots, dull skin, red cheeks, excessive oil secretion, loose skin, etc. can be treated accordingly.
Through high-energy, broad-spectrum light, it can treat a variety of skin problems, and can also stimulate dermal collagen with the generated heat energy, thereby producing a skin tightening effect, and finally reshaping the skin’s youthful radiance.
Principle of BBL laser treatment.
BBL laser emits a continuous beam of light waves in a short period of time. These wide-spectrum colored lights irradiate the skin surface and penetrate deep into the skin, selectively acting on the skin tissue.
The principle of BBL is to use strong pulsed light with a wide spectrum to accurately emit light energy of different wavelengths. These lights can penetrate different depths of the skin and treat the skin in layers. It has many advantages and a wide range of treatments. It can effectively improve a variety of skin problems such as spots, red blood streaks, acne, and enlarged pores. For example, for pigmented skin problems, the light energy of BBL laser can break up melanin particles and fade spots; for red blood streaks caused by vascular dilation, it can selectively act on hemoglobin in the blood vessels to shrink the blood vessels, thereby reducing the condition of red blood streaks.
Using high-energy, wide-spectrum light, through selective photothermal action, it acts on the deep layers of the skin to activate collagen regeneration and skin cell repair. This light from the BBL laser can selectively absorb melanin, blood vessels and pigmentation, and promote collagen proliferation, thereby improving skin texture, even skin tone, reducing pigmentation, shrinking pores, and making the skin glow with youthful radiance.
Filters for 6 bands of BBL laser.
BBL laser uses a variety of filters, each of which represents a specific wavelength, which can treat different skin problems more accurately. Whether it is acne, pigmentation spots, dull skin, red cheeks, excessive oil secretion or loose skin, you can choose the corresponding filter for effective treatment.
| Filters | Wavelength (nm) | Application |
| 420 | 420~1200 | Treating inflammatory acne |
| 515 | 515~1200 | Treats epidermal pigments, pigmentation and pigmented lesions. |
| 560 | 560~1200 | Treat epidermal pigmentation, superficial capillary dilation, improve red blood streaks, redness and other symptoms. (Skin rejuvenation, pigmentation, blood vessels, gene anti-aging) |
| 590 | 590~1200 | Treat vascular lesions, remove yellowness, chloasma (skin rejuvenation, blood vessels, gene anti-aging) |
| 640 | 640~1200 | Improve fine lines/large pores, control oil and rejuvenate the skin, anti-inflammatory and soothing, nodular acne (hair removal, blood vessels, genetic anti-aging) |
| 695 | 695~1200 | Improve skin fine lines/large pores, remove facial hair (hair removal, genetic anti-aging) |
The treatment range of BBL laser.
As the sixth generation of photorejuvenation, BBL laser “inherits” the basic effects of previous IPL in anti-inflammatory, repair and rejuvenation.
It also has stronger and more specialized outstanding treatment effects in various problem skin areas.
Treat acne.
Compared with the use of red and blue light to treat acne, the BBL with a wavelength of 420nm has greater energy per unit time and better sterilization and anti-inflammatory effects. By killing Propionibacterium acnes, the acne problem is solved from the root. In addition, BBL can penetrate deep sebaceous glands and inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands, which has a miraculous effect in the treatment of acne.
Reduces fine lines & removes wrinkles.
By stimulating the skin’s collagen fibers and elastic fibers to rearrange and regenerate.After BBL surgery, the patient’s skin will slowly regain elasticity, and pores and fine lines will be greatly improved.
Remove red blood streaks.
On the one hand, it seals the existing red blood streaks/capillaries. On the other hand, it enhances the thickness of skin collagen, treating red blood streaks and improving facial redness in a two-pronged approach.
Whitening and lightening spots.
After the melanin clumps selectively absorb the photon energy, an explosion effect occurs. The spots are destroyed by the photons, scabs form, and then fall off in 5-7 days. In simple terms, it is through the decomposition of melanin and metabolism that it is excreted from the body.
BBL laser hair removal.
The 690nm filter of the BBL laser is used for hair removal treatment. Usually this wavelength can reach the hair follicles of the skin and heat the hair follicles through the photothermal effect, causing the hair to fall off.
Genetic anti-aging, Youthful skin.
Validated by numerous clinical studies, BBL treatment significantly altered gene expression in aged skin, with the expression of 1,293 genes becoming closer to that of young skin. Many key genes associated with longevity (such as ZMPSTE24 and IGF1R) were “rejuvenated” after BBL laser treatment, meaning their expression levels were restored to a state similar to that of young skin. Fine lines, pigmentation, and overall aging scores were improved in aged skin after BBL treatment. Histologically, BBL treatment reduced the degeneration of elastic fibers, made the collagen fiber structure more uniform, and increased the thickness of the epidermis. The study found that the changes in gene expression after BBL treatment were not simply a traumatic response, but were more similar to the gene expression of young skin, indicating that BBL laser may achieve “rejuvenation” of the skin at the molecular level. Therefore, many medical experts around the world have published articles on BBL’s “genetic anti-aging”.
Literature published by Stanford University in the top skin journal JID proves: “Long-term and regular BBL treatment can reverse the gene arrangement of photoaged skin, rejuvenate aging cells, and delay the aging process of skin.”It is not just a skin rejuvenation project from face to body. With long-term and regular BBL treatment, skin cells will show the characteristics of “slowing down” aging, and have a good skin tightening and lifting effect on loose skin. This anti-aging effect at the genetic level is unmatched by traditional skin rejuvenation methods.
What are the advantages of BBL laser?
High safety.
BBL wide-spectrum light can be adjusted according to different treatment needs and skin types, making the treatment process more personalized and precise. In addition, photorejuvenation BBL laser uses a non-invasive treatment method with almost no side effects and recovery period, and does not affect normal life.
Strong adaptability.
BBL laser is suitable for people of all skin types and skin colors, including Asians. It can improve a variety of skin problems, such as sun spots, age spots, pigmentation, vascular dilation, acne marks, fine lines, etc. In addition, BBL can also stimulate the proliferation of collagen, improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin, and make the skin younger and more vibrant.
High efficiency.
The BBL laser treatment process usually needs to be performed multiple times to achieve the best effect. Each treatment usually only takes a few dozen minutes, and the entire treatment process is very fast and convenient.
Excellent comfort.
BBL is the most comfortable laser in the photon world. In addition to the sapphire crystal cooling system, it can efficiently control the skin temperature of the treatment area (adjustable between 0–30°C), making the overall treatment process safer and more comfortable. The real “secret” of BBL laser to relieve pain lies in its intelligent sub-pulses: one pulse is divided into 10 sub-pulses to emit light, so that the energy released by each bulb is reduced and evenly output to the skin, thereby reducing pain. In simple terms, it is to evenly disperse the pulse energy without reducing the energy.
Genetic anti-aging function.
This term sounds mysterious, but the conclusion that BB light has this function is not groundless. The skin research team at Stanford University in the United States conducted a prospective study, and its paper “Update of Gene Expression in Photo-Aged Human Skin Using Broadband Light” was published in the top skin journal JID.
The paper conclusion: Broadband light can achieve K-aging treatment at the genetic level, making the expression of skin cells with photoaging closer to the expression of skin cells of young people without photoaging.
To put it simply: regular broadband light treatment can effectively combat photoaging.
Six filters – wide indications.
Using the sixth generation of intense pulsed light technology, it has filters of 420, 515, 560, 590, 640, and 695. In addition, it is combined with a 2940nm erbium laser that can improve fine lines and scars. Compared with M22, the comfort of BBL laser has been improved, and the spot area has also been increased (6.75cm²). In addition, it also has a small spot adapter. Smaller areas such as lips, nose, eyes, and auricles can be treated with a small spot adapter.
BBL laser uses filters of different wavelengths to achieve multiple clinical application solutions. The face-to-face consultation before the operation can help determine which filter to use and truly achieve personalized treatment.
Dual-lamp technology, gentle energy.
BBL laser uses dual-lamp technology that other strong lights do not have. The energy output of dual-lamp is more than that of single-lamp, and the channels are more, which is equivalent to reducing the output energy of the original single-lamp to half of the original, and the physical intensity is reduced by half accordingly.
Large and small spots, combined treatment.
BBL laser adopts a super large spot design of 15x45mm, which is about twice that of similar photons, greatly improving the treatment efficiency.In addition, BBL laser has a small spot adapter. For relatively small areas such as lips, nose, eyes, and auricle, the small spot adapter can be used for targeted treatment to achieve localized detailed care, which is not available for other strong lights.
Cooling system, adjustable by degrees.
Built-in thermal monitoring system and cooling system, adjustable from 0-30℃, always keep the epidermal temperature within the tolerable range. And the BBL laser produced by LitonLaser is added with a low temperature system, which can make the skin epidermal temperature reach -20℃.
What are the indications for BBL laser?
Men and women, no strict age limit, with the following needs:
- Skin rejuvenation, i.e. photorejuvenation;
- Vascular diseases: superficial vascular diseases such as facial red blood streaks and acne red marks;
- Pigmentary diseases: freckles, post-inflammatory pigmentation, etc.;
- Inflammatory diseases: acne, rosacea, etc.;
- Hirsutism.
How to care after BBL laser treatment?
BBL laser treatment is a relatively mild photoelectric treatment project, rarely causing scabs or even delayed erythema blisters. After the operation, you only need to apply cold compresses and sun protection immediately, and there are no special contraindications. Specific precautions are as follows:
- Cold compress after surgery: After rinsing the face with running cold water, apply a medical cold compress for 10-20 minutes;
- Skin cleaning: It is recommended to use warm or cold water for simple cleaning within 48 hours after surgery, and can be used with medical masks and medical skin care products;
- Strict sun protection: Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.
