What is BBL® HERO™?

BBL® HERO™ (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is a cutting-edge treatment designed to correct imperfections on the skin’s surface and address pigmentation issues. This versatile treatment effectively targets a range of skin concerns, including:

  • Hyperpigmentation: Reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone for a more even complexion.
  • Freckles: Minimize the appearance of freckles and sunspots.
  • Redness: Calm redness and reduce the appearance of broken capillaries.
  • Age Spots: Fade age spots and other signs of sun damage.
  • Acne: Improve acne-prone skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

The BBL® HERO™ Treatment Process

During your BBL® HERO™ session at FIBB, one of our skilled providers will glide a handpiece over the treatment area, delivering precise pulses of light energy to the skin. The treatment is designed to keep your skin cool and comfortable, ensuring a pain-free experience. After the session, you may feel a slight warmth in the treated area for 30 minutes to an hour, but this sensation is temporary.

With BBL® HERO™, we can deliver incredible results in a short amount of time, helping you achieve smoother, clearer skin that glows with health.

What is the FIBB Signature BBL® HERO™?

The FIBB Signature BBL® HERO™ (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) treatment, developed by Sciton, represents the latest innovation in BBL® technology, known for its outstanding results, ease of use, and advanced capabilities.

With BBL® HERO™, we can quickly deliver lasting improvements from head to toe, treating various skin concerns effectively. Our treatment leverages nine interchangeable wavelength filters for a fully customizable experience, addressing your unique skin needs.

State-of-the-Art Technology: The BBL® HERO™ platform provides four times the speed, three times the peak power, and double the cooling capacity, enabling us to treat larger areas like the back, legs, and arms with remarkable efficiency. FIBB’s multi-pass approach, using the BBL® HERO™ Forever Young protocol, is designed to treat all skin layers, targeting concerns like pigmentation, skin texture, rosacea, acne, and even providing skin-tightening benefits.

What is BBL® HERO™ Forever Young?

BBL® HERO™ Forever Young is designed for ongoing skin rejuvenation. This technology works across most skin types and tones, making it accessible for individuals with diverse skin profiles.

Top Benefits of BBL® HERO™ Forever Young:

  • Addresses sun damage
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation
  • Minimizes acne scarring
  • Softens wrinkles and fine lines
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Improves skin texture, reducing roughness or dryness
  • Decreases redness and rosacea
  • Treats cherry angiomas and telangiectasias

Treatment Areas: We can treat areas including the face, neck, décolleté, arms, legs, back, buttocks, and abdomen for comprehensive rejuvenation.

What’s the Difference Between Corrective BBL® HERO™ and BBL® HERO™ Forever Young?

Both use the BBL® HERO™ platform but with different approaches:

  • Corrective BBL® HERO™: This treatment uses higher energy with fewer passes and is typically scheduled every 30 days for a series of three treatments. It targets existing damage, such as sun spots and discoloration, by using higher energy levels to effectively even out red or brown spots on the skin.

  • BBL® HERO™ Forever Young: Using multiple passes at a lower energy level, this treatment helps maintain an even skin tone and prevent further aging. Clinical studies from Stanford University support that BBL® can restore gene expression in aged skin to resemble younger skin. We recommend three to four Forever Young treatments annually to sustain your results.

Our approach typically begins with Corrective BBL® HERO™ to address any significant sun damage, then transitions to BBL® HERO™ Forever Young to maintain these results and prevent future aging.

How long does it take to see results from BBL® HERO™ Forever Young?

The BBL® HERO™ Forever Young treatment on the face typically lasts around 30 minutes and requires little to no downtime. Results can begin to appear within one week, with continued improvement over the following months. We recommend treating the face, neck, and chest at least annually for optimal outcomes.

What to Expect: Within two weeks, you may see “peppering” as brown spots darken and naturally exfoliate. These can be easily concealed with makeup or tinted sunscreen.

Is BBL® HERO™ Forever Young better than Microneedling?

BBL® HERO™ Forever Young can often deliver faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results than microneedling because it uses laser heat. However, this also means a slightly longer downtime with potential temporary side effects like darkening or minor bruising.

Comparison of Benefits:

  • Microneedling: Quick recovery (1–2 days), suitable for all skin types, with fewer side effects.
  • BBL® HERO™ Forever Young: Faster results and extended longevity, ideal for those seeking advanced skin rejuvenation.

In our practice, many patients alternate between BBL® HERO™ and microneedling treatments every two months for comprehensive skin health.

How long is the recovery time for BBL® HERO™ Forever Young?

BBL® HERO™ Forever Young is a non-invasive light therapy with minimal recovery time. Most patients experience mild heat or a “rubber band snapping” sensation but find it very tolerable overall. You can usually return to your regular activities on the same day.

What should I avoid after a BBL® HERO™ treatment?

Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness or a sunburn-like sensation. For optimal results and recovery, we recommend:

  • Sunscreen Use: Apply immediately and avoid direct sun exposure.
  • Minimal Sun Exposure: Keep treated areas out of direct sun for at least 7–14 days.
  • Gentle Care: Use mild cleansers, moisturizers, and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
  • Other Tips:
    • Apply cool water compresses or aloe if needed.
    • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and exercise for 24 hours.
    • No shaving or exfoliating until any redness subsides.
    • Use mineral makeup once the skin is intact.
    • Discontinue retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids during treatment cycles.

Following these guidelines will help ensure smooth, glowing skin with fewer complications.
