BroadBand Light (BBL)
Sciton BBL® (BroadBand Light) is an advanced form of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy—not a traditional laser. It uses broad-spectrum pulses of light to treat pigmentation, background redness, rosacea, sun damage, acne, and signs of aging.
Although many people call it a "BBL laser," it's technically a light-based treatment rather than a laser.
