What is BroadBand Light Therapy?
Broadband light (BBL) process utilizes energy-releasing technology to enhance the aesthetics of your skin and makes it appear younger and smoother.

Our practice, Med Spa At Seena One at Burleson, TX, offers BBL at the recommendation of Dr. Mukhtar Anees and his team as an innovative treatment proven to help restore our patients' confidence in their skin.

Who is a Candidate for BBL Therapy?
A great candidate for BBL is any patient suffering from hyperpigmentation or textured skin. These conditions may be caused by acne, sun damage, damaged capillaries, or rosacea. BBL can also help to make your skin appear younger by stimulating the production of collagen. By varying the type of modality and filter used for the treatment, BBL can be used as both a treatment and/or daily maintenance for an array of skin conditions. Before undergoing treatment, our team will discuss how BBL technology could help you reach your cosmetic goals.
How Does BBL Work?
After creating a suitable treatment plan, the settings of the BBL system will be adjusted to fit the needs of your skin. Before starting the procedure, your eyes will be protected from the laser with a cover. We will then lightly pass the laser over your skin while concentrating on the problem locations. The length of time needed for your treatment will vary depending upon the skin condition and if any other services were completed during the BBL session. BBL procedures can typically be completed in about one hour or less.
What can I Expect after BBL?
Following the therapy, a soothing lotion may be smoothed onto your skin. Our aesthetic team may also offer post-treatment care directions and might advise limited exposure to the sun. Otherwise, patients are typically able to resume their regular daily routine. Results from BBL may be seen within 2 – 6 weeks after the initial treatment, but optimal results will typically be seen after repeat BBL sessions. We will suggest the recommended amount of treatments to receive your desired outcome.

What areas can be treated with BBL?
All areas of skin may be treated with BBL, but some of the most commonly treated areas are the face, neck, chest, hands, shoulders, and back. These are the areas that tend to have the most damage because they're regularly exposed to the sun. The face, neck, and hands are also the first places affected by lifestyle and natural aging, so treating these areas may help improve your whole appearance. In your initial consultation, tell our team about all your areas of concern so he can make a comprehensive BBL plan.
How is BBL different from other lasers?
The innovative BroadBand Light by Sciton is an advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. The dual lamps and wide range of energy wavelengths allow our team to adjust your BBL treatment for your skin goals. Utilizing different wavelengths, BBL can improve both brown and red lesions, plus light and dark spots, without harming the surrounding skin and tissue. Effective and safe, BBL can give you a better complexion in fewer sessions compared to other skin treatments.
Is BBL safe for all skin tones?
Since the energy wavelengths in a BBL treatment can be adjusted for your unique needs, BBL can be used on all skin types and tones. To get your best results, it is recommended that you avoid unprotected ultraviolet (UV) light exposure (both natural sunlight and tanning beds) for at least 10 – 14 days before your appointment. After tanning, your skin has higher levels of melanin (pigment), which may absorb the energy and impact your outcome. Your skin will be especially sensitive to UV exposure, so you need to not use tanning beds and limit sun exposure throughout your treatment and for a minimum of 10 – 14 days following your last appointment.
