This procedure reduces pigmented lesions in the skin through a process known as selective thermophotolysis. Essentially, dark areas in the skin absorb light more intensely than lighter areas. The dark areas then heat with the absorption of light areas, destroying the pigment-carrying cells. Through this form of natural selection, i.e. survival of the lightest, the dark regions of the skin are destroyed while the light ones are relatively unaffected. This allows the treatment of:
- Freckles (aka solar lentigines)
- Rosacea
- Age spots
- Brown spots, birth marks
- Port wine stains
- Hyperpigmentation
- Poikiloderma
In addition, BBL treatment can also reduce the appearance of spider veins, also through the process of selective photothermolysis. It can be used to treat:
- Spider veins
- Broken capillaries
- Facial veins
- General redness
- Telanglectasia
Last, but not least, BBL can also have a significant impact on scars, stretch marks, and fine wrinkles, and the texture of your skin.
In general, thanks to Sciton laser technology, patients do not feel any discomfort from, nor need any downtime after, BBL photorejuvenation. We are offering many discount and package options this winter, call our office for your free consultation today! 801-763-7107
