Farris Plastic Surgery offers BBL laser skin treatments to safely and effectively reverse early signs of sun damage, correct uneven pigmentation, improve the general tone and texture of the skin, address fine line and wrinkles, and improve mild to moderate acne scars.
What is Broad Band Light HERO?
Broad Band Light HERO (BBL HERO) is an advanced skin revitalizing treatment from Sciton ® to help correct and even skin tone. This powerful treatment delivers a broad range of wavelengths to treat numerous skin conditions. The chosen wavelengths of light energy penetrate deep within the skin’s underlying layers to increase skin cell turnover and facilitate collagen production. The treatment essentially replaces the older skin tissues with new and fresh tissues while restoring your body’s collagen reserves to tighten the skin. Consequently, you achieve smoother and more youthful skin without surface textural irregularities.

Who Is a Candidate for BBL HERO?
Ideal candidates for BBL HERO are adults who want to eliminate the appearance of age spots, rosacea, facial veins, sun damage, and other signs of aging on the skin. As a gentle and non-invasive treatment, BBL HERO is an effective procedure for all skin types and all ages. Candidates for BBL HERO should be in good overall health and free from any underlying health conditions that may interfere with the procedure. It’s also important that candidates maintain realistic expectations when it comes to their results.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this procedure will not be recommended for you.
Are There Any Side Effects with BBL HERO?
Like any other intense-pulsed light technology treatment, BBL HERO still comes with several side effects that patients should be aware of. These side effects include:
- Slightly reddened or flushed skin
- A sunburn-like feeling on the skin after treatment
- Puffiness in the face
- Brown spots
- Dry patches on the skin
Within a few days, these side effects should disappear on their own. Although rare, more serious risks with BBL HERO include burning, changes in skin pigmentation, and scarring. However, at Farris Plastic Surgery, patients can feel confident knowing our team prioritizes patients' comfort, safety, and satisfaction with each BBL HERO procedure.
What Is Recovery Like with BBL HERO?
The recovery experience from BBL HERO treatment will vary from patient to patient, but most patients are able to return to their normal routines immediately after treatment. Visible side effects will disappear independently between seven to ten days after treatment.
During recovery, patients should do the following:
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Use sunscreen daily.
- Do not pick at dry patches or dark spots.
- Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and high-intensity workouts.
- Avoid exfoliating your skin for at least seven days.
- Resume your normal skincare routine after seven days.
How Can I Prepare for My BBL HERO Treatment?
Preparing ahead of time for your BBL HERO treatment can help ensure a safe procedure as well as a recovery experience free from complications. Before attending your appointment, we recommend patients do the following:
- Consult your primary doctor about stopping medications that may interfere with intense-pulsed light therapy treatments.
- Schedule a consultation at Farris Plastic Surgery to determine if you are a qualified candidate for BBL HERO.
- Do not expose your skin to the sun, use tanning beds or use tanning lotions and spray tan for at least four weeks prior to your treatment.
- Avoid chemical peels before your treatment.
- Do not wax your skin before treatment.
- Avoid supplements and medications that can increase your risk of bruising or excessive bleeding.
- Take an anti-viral medication before and after your treatment if you are someone who is prone to cold sores or has a history of herpes.
- Avoid using topical skincare products with active ingredients and chemicals at least one week before your procedure.
How Long Will Results from Broad Band Light HERO Last?
Results from your BBL HERO treatment can last for several months with the proper care. However, the more BBL HERO treatments you undergo, the brighter, smoother, and more even your complexion will be. With multiple treatments a year, you can effectively reverse the signs of aging on your skin, making you look younger and naturally rejuvenated.
