Results

BBL can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, stimulate collagen production, increase skin turgor and elasticity. Redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, scaling, and dryness are common post-procedure side effects while healing. Although these treatments are done in a series, most patients notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after the first treatment. Overall, the BBL technology is one of the best devices on the market to brighten skin complexion and revitalize skin texture.
