How Do Laser Treatments Reverse Sun Damage?

What is BBL™ BroadBand Light Treatment?

BBL™ laser treatments use broad-spectrum light at high energy to target pigmented areas like age spots, sun damage, or redness. Unlike most systems that use one targeted wavelength, the BBL™ broadband light can target more different pigments for a more even skin tone. The Levy Dermatology team prefers this treatment for reversing signs of sun damage due to its effectiveness in targeting pigments and uneven skin tone. BBL™ works on the face, neck, arms, hands, legs, and chest, where sun damage most often occurs. 

How Do Laser Treatments Reverse Sun Damage?

When pulses of intense light from the BBL™ enter the skin, they are absorbed by pigment molecules in the skin. This damages the pigment-containing cells without affecting the surrounding skin. It also heats the surface layer of skin to promote cell turnover, bringing revitalized new skin cells to replace the old ones. Sun-damaged or pigmented cells are removed, leaving the skin brighter and clearer.
