During treatment, the BBL wavelength is optimized so that the energy is absorbed only by the unwanted melanin, or hemoglobin (blood) if you’re treating rosacea, raising the temperature to cause shattering of the target. Deeper level blood vessels are treated at the same time.
Shortly after treatment, the unwanted pigment cells (or melanin) have been thoroughly fragmented without damage to the surrounding tissue. Vascular lesions are heated, causing coagulation and shrinking of the vessels.
In the weeks after treatment, the shattered melanin particles are metabolized by the body and eliminated. Little or no trace of the initial lesion remains. The treated vessels deeper within the epidermis are reabsorbed by the body in much the same way.
Because the treatment is gentle, there is no interruption of routine activities. By helping to remove the age spots (sun-induced freckles) and broken capillaries, the result is overall younger looking skin. Improvement is subtle and accomplished over a series of treatments so the patient's skin does not appear obviously treated.
BBL (Broad Band Light) photo rejuvenation therapy at STONEWATER SKIN & LASER is a remarkable breakthrough in skin rejuvenation therapy for men and women. BBL photo rejuvenation therapy can help men and women achieve a younger, more refreshed look to their skin. It can help reduce the appearance of sun spots and roll back the years on those unsightly age spots. BBL photo rejuvenation therapy can also help reduce the visibility of a wide variety of skin conditions including rosacea, warts, broken capillaries and acne.
BBL photo rejuvenation therapy employs the technology of pulsed light that heats the outer layer of skin in the problem area. This gentle heating from the pulsed light penetrates the outer layer of the skin and stimulates the skin cells beneath the skin, promoting collagen production that naturally helps revitalize the skin's appearance. |
