BBL uses advanced light energy to target pigmentation, redness, and visible signs of aging. This non-invasive treatment improves skin tone and clarity with no downtime, making it ideal for both rejuvenation and prevention.

Light-Based Clarity for Healthier Skin With BBL

At Davis Dermatology, we offer BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments to help patients restore healthy, even-toned skin. Using pulses of light energy, BBL penetrates the skin to target sun damage, vascular lesions, and pigment irregularities—without harming surrounding tissue. Under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Earlyn Noll, every BBL session is performed with clinical precision and tailored to your unique skin tone, goals, and sensitivities. BBL is safe, gentle, and effective for patients looking to correct early signs of aging or simply maintain long-term skin health.

About BBL

Cleanse and prep – Skin is cleaned, and a cooling gel is applied.
Pulse delivery – Light is delivered in quick flashes across the skin.
Cool down – Skin may feel warm, but quickly returns to baseline.
Aftercare – You’ll receive sun protection instructions and skincare tips.

BBL Recovery and Results

There’s no true downtime with BBL. Some redness or mild warmth may occur post-treatment, but most patients resume regular activity the same day. Brown spots may temporarily darken before flaking off within a week.

Visible improvement usually appears after one session, but a series of three to five treatments spaced a few weeks apart offers the most dramatic results. Many patients schedule maintenance BBL treatments one to two times per year.

FAQ BBL

Can I get BBL during summer?

Yes, but you must avoid direct sun exposure before and after. Strict sun protection is essential to prevent complications.

Does BBL hurt?

Most patients describe it as a warm snapping sensation. It’s well-tolerated, and numbing is typically not needed.

Is BBL safe for darker skin tones?

BBL is best suited for fair to medium skin tones. For darker skin, we may recommend alternatives like micro needling or chemical peels.

Can BBL treat active acne?

Yes—BBL Forever Clear is designed to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation in breakout-prone skin.

Will I peel or scab after treatment?

You may experience mild flaking if brown spots darken post-treatment, but no open wounds or significant peeling should occur.

Are the results permanent?

BBL reverses visible signs of damage, but ongoing sun exposure will create new pigmentation. Maintenance treatments and sun protection are key.
