Rejuvenation: a protocol designated as “BBL™ Forever Young”, which promotes overall improvement in skin texture and appearance.
How does the Face Mi Institute optimize laser treatments ?
In addition to being the only medical clinic in Braga to offer Sciton's BBL™, our team has in-depth training in the calibration and proper application of this technology. In this way, we are able to:
To carry out personalized assessments, defining the best filter and light intensity for each case.
Utilize SkinTyte™ protocols (also from the BBL™ platform) for sagging or fine wrinkles, combining them with spot removal, all in the same session, when applicable.
Combining other Sciton lasers such as the Fractional Laser (TRL, ProFractional) or the ClearSilk™ vascular laser with BBL™ in a single session.
Minimizing side effects, thanks to the precision of the technology and the expertise of medical professionals.
Recovery and care
After a BBL HEROic™ laser treatment session, the skin may be slightly red or feel warm, but these symptoms are usually mild and subside within a few hours. In cases of spot treatment, it is common for the spots to darken before lightening, and a thin, temporary crust may form that peels off. Therefore, it is essential to follow the indicated care instructions, especially:
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher).
Avoid direct sun exposure during the period recommended by the clinical team.
Moisturize the skin properly and do not remove any scabs prematurely.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual response. However, BBL is known for delivering great results with 1 or 2 sessions, unlike other IPLs on the market. Many people see positive results right from the first session, both in lightening dark spots and in overall skin improvement.
BBL™ or conventional IPL: is the difference worth it?
For most cases, yes. BBL™ represents the latest generation of pulsed light, offering greater precision, safety, and effectiveness, especially in the hands of experienced physicians. While conventional IPL may work in certain situations, BBL™ stands out for its customization capabilities and more consistent results.
In short, it's a technology that raises the bar for what phototherapy can offer, being especially relevant in protocols for global rejuvenation and correction of resistant pigmentation. Economically, it's more advantageous than conventional IPL because it requires fewer sessions to deliver significant results.
Conclusion
BBL™ is not just "another" pulsed light device. It is a well-regarded evolution directly from the USA, combining technical innovation with a wide range of clinical applications.
