The talented medspa team at The Art of Plastic Surgery in Chicago is excited to offer this transformative treatment.
The Benefits of BBL Photofacial Treatments
- Even Skin Tone and Reduced Pigmentation:Â By targeting areas of discoloration, such as freckles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation, BBL treatments help create a more uniform complexion.
- Improved Skin Texture:Â BBL stimulates collagen production, which enhances skin elasticity and smoothness over time.
- Reduced Signs of Aging:Â Fine lines, wrinkles, and other age-related skin changes are minimized through the natural regeneration process triggered by the treatment.
- Effective for Redness and Rosacea:Â BBL photofacial can calm redness and reduce the visibility of vascular lesions.
- Versatile for Multiple Skin Conditions:Â This treatment also targets acne, providing a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL Photofacial?
BBL photofacial is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their skin’s appearance or address specific concerns like:
- Sun damage
- Uneven pigmentation
- Visible veins or capillaries
- Rosacea
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
It is most effective for individuals with lighter skin tones, as darker skin tones may require a more tailored approach to prevent pigmentation risks. A consultation will determine if this treatment is right for you based on your skin type and goals.
What Body Areas Can Be Treated?
BBL photofacial is not limited to the face. It can rejuvenate several areas of the body commonly affected by sun exposure and aging, including:
- Face and neck
- Chest and décolletage
- Arms and shoulders
- Hands
- Legs
This flexibility allows patients to target areas that often show early signs of aging.
Procedure Details: What to Expect
To begin, we apply a cooling gel to the treatment area for comfort. The BBL device delivers precise pulses of light energy to the skin. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. The light penetrates the skin’s surface, targeting pigmentation, redness, or uneven texture.
Each session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.For optimal results, multiple sessions are often recommended. The exact number will depend on your skin condition and desired outcome.
Recovery Time After a BBL Photofacial
After your treatment, you can resume normal activities immediately, but diligent sunscreen use is essential to protect treated skin and maintain results. Your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Within a couple of days, this redness fades, and pigmented spots may darken temporarily before flaking off naturally.
