BROADBAND LIGHT (BBL) & ForeverYoung BBL
Treat Redness and turn back time
Sun damage is one of the most significant contributors to aging, leading to thinner skin, brown spots, visible veins, and generalized redness. At Siragusa Vein and Laser, we offer the Sciton BBL™ laser, a highly effective solution for reversing the signs of aging and restoring a youthful appearance.
BBL treatments can be performed on various areas, including the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and the backs of the hands. With virtually no downtime, this treatment fits perfectly into busy schedules, leaving your skin looking clearer, smoother, and revitalized.
Corrective BBL vs Forever Young BBL
Both Corrective BBL and Forever Young BBL are BroadBand Light therapies by Sciton, providing photorejuvenation benefits to target skin irregularities and pigmentation.
•Corrective BBL:
This high-energy treatment involves one pass over the entire face and is ideal for clearing dark spots and blemishes. It’s a powerful way to jumpstart the anti-aging process and is often recommended as the first step in a comprehensive skincare plan.
•Forever Young BBL:
This treatment uses lower energy with multiple passes, complementing Corrective BBL by maintaining and building upon its results. It’s also a preventative option, with studies showing that patients in their 30s and 40s who undergo 2–4 Forever Young BBL treatments annually can maintain healthy, youthful skin into their 60s and 70s.

•Age spots

•Freckles

•Laxity

•Uneven skin tone
•Acne and pigmentation

How does the BBL Laser Work?
BBL delivers short blasts of high-intensity light to the skin, gently warming the upper layers. This stimulates the growth of new skin cells and collagen, improving skin tone and texture. The energy also eliminates fine vessels causing redness and reduces melanin to diminish brown spots, leaving your skin brighter and more even.
What to expect?
Before treatment, protective eye shields are applied, and a thin layer of gel is placed on the skin. The BBL device is then passed over the targeted areas, producing a brief warm sensation as the light penetrates the skin. Treatment times vary from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the scope of the procedure.
Recovery & Results
After your BBL treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and this typically resolves within a few hours. You may also experience minimal swelling and see dark spots temporarily darken before flaking off, a sign that your skin is eliminating unwanted pigment.
•Initial Results: Visible within a few days as pigmentation fades.
•Optimal Results: Achieved with 2–3 treatments, with maintenance sessions recommended annually or biannually.
