BBL and HERO (Broad Band Light and High Energy Rapid Output) by Sciton are our top-most sought out services at MSU ALTC. MSU ALTC is recognized as one of the most experienced BBL and HERO users in the Greater Lansing area, with multiple recognition awards by SCITON, an established leader in energy-based medical aesthetics, as we perform thousands of BBL and HERO treatments per year.
BBL and HERO results are backed by thousands of reviews and incredible before and after photos. This award-winning treatment improves the appearance of aging skin and reduces sun damage, dark spots, rosacea, broken blood vessels, sagging skin, acne, cherry angiomas, and more! This treatment is known as the “lunch-time photo facial” because can be done comfortably anytime and with little to no downtime.
BBL utilizes the power of pulsed light to deliver excellent cosmetic results. Your provider will choose the proper wavelengths of light, which target problem areas of your skin such as sun-damage, red vessels, acne, enlarged pores, etc. Light is safely delivered through a cooled sapphire crystal.
In most cases, your medical aesthetician will need to consult with you prior to scheduling your appointment. VISIA imaging photos will be taken during your consultation to best customize your treatment plan.
Before the treatment begins, the treatment zone will be cleansed, and a clear ultrasound gel is applied. In some cases, numbing may be applied 30 minutes prior to your procedure before entering the treatment room. This will be determined at your consultation.
A headband is placed on the client to provide a clearer working surface. Additionally, protective eyewear will be provided to the client to be worn during the entire treatment.
Light is delivered to the skin's surface in precise pulses across the treatment area. The light will appear bright even while wearing protective eyewear. Your procedure may take a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of the treatment area.
After treatment is complete, the skin will be cleansed and a medical-grade vitamin c, plus hydrating creams with sunblock, will be applied.
The treatment area may appear red or flushed, which usually fades within a few hours. Individuals with prominent pigmentation may notice that brown areas become temporarily darker for 5-7 days. Gentle products may be provided for home use, however, for most BBL treatments there is virtually no post care needed.
