What does BBL mean?
BBL™ stands for (BroadBand Light), which means the use of a wide range of radiation from the visible spectrum to infrared radiation with different pulse durations for phototherapy.
A wider radiation range and high power allows for a more effective and complex effect on targets in the skin, showing obvious clinical results.
Difference from IPL
In the name itself, Sciton indicated the fundamental difference between BBL and IPL systems from other manufacturers. Due to its power, the BBL system is able to act on the target with powerful solid pulses, without breaking them into short pulses or sub-pulses, as in IPL systems. You can feel it during the procedure - the BBL flash feels like a powerful hot push against the skin. While the IPL flare is felt as a portion of warmth.
IPL - an abbreviation for Intense Pulsed Light.
BBL belongs to medical devices and has a number of clinical studies proving efficacy and safety in various skin conditions.
Difference between BBL and IPL
BBL photorejuvenation is the most effective solution for eliminating hyperpigmentation, pathologically dilated vessels (ruby bodies, telangiectasia, rosacea, rosacea), acne treatment, prevention of photo and chrono-aging.
Types of Skin Aging
- Chronoaging is a process caused by the influence of time and is associated with age-related changes in the body, which also affects the quality, elasticity and firmness of the skin.
- Photoaging - a process associated with the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the skin, resulting in thickening and coarsening of the stratum corneum, dryness, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, wine stains and increased vascular pattern (telangiectasia - persistent dilation of small vessels) and general signs of aging and sun damage (ultraviolet radiation).
How it works
Photorejuvenation is a concept that describes the underlying technology for treating and rejuvenating the skin by providing light therapy.
Light energy is absorbed by skin chromophores and converted into heat.
During the procedure, the energy of light affects the chromophores, the cells that absorb it and under the influence of heat are destroyed or change their structure. Then, immune cells are involved in the work and the process of removing damaged cells, replacing them with young and healthy cells, takes place. Thus, a therapeutic effect is achieved, depending on the goal - lightening hyperpigmentation, removing blood vessels, eliminating inflammation in acne and rejuvenating the skin. Therefore, during the rehabilitation period in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, first the darkening of the treated areas occurs and subsequently their gradual exfoliation, which leads to brighter, smoother and more youthful skin.
- Chromophores can be: melanin in the skin or hair follicle, hemoglobin of dilated vessels, propionobacteria in the treatment of acne, as well as water and fibrous structures (collagen and elastin), when the goal is skin rejuvenation.
