What is a BBL Photofacial?
BBL (BroadBand Light) is Sciton's advanced form of IPL — intense pulsed light that targets redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, brown spots, and sun damage to even out skin tone. BBL HERO is a faster, more powerful version, and Forever Young BBL is a maintenance protocol shown to keep skin looking younger over time.
A session takes 20 to 30 minutes. Brown spots darken and flake off over the following week, and redness improves with little downtime. A series of 3 to 5 sessions gives the best result for pigment and redness.
BBL is best for fair to medium skin tones; deeper skin tones need careful settings or alternative treatments. Pricing is per session.
How much does a BBL Photofacial cost?
A BBL photofacial nationally typically costs $350 to $800 per session, with a series of 3 to 5 recommended for the best results on pigment and redness.
