Most assume that laser treatments are only for the face, but modern BroadBand Light (BBL) technology can actually treat multiple areas of the body. At Knox Dermatology, we offer customized BBL treatments for multiple areas and skin concerns, helping patients achieve healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Read on to learn what you can treat with a BBL photofacial.
Face: Sun Damage, Redness, and Early Aging
The most common area for a BBL photofacial treatment is the face, as it is where common concerns are the most visible. A BBL photofacial treatment can assist in treating:
- Sun damage
- Pigmentation and age spots
- Melasma and brown spots
- Rosacea and redness
- Broken capillaries and small veins
- Dullness
- Uneven tone or texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of elasticity
BBL treatment can help reduce or alleviate the above conditions with minimal downtime, allowing patients to achieve a refreshed look more quickly and comfortably.
Neck and Chest: Treating Loose Skin and Sun Exposure
The neck and chest often showcase signs of aging and sun damage earlier than one would expect. Common issues include loose or sagging skin, redness and discoloration, thick lines, pigmented lesions, Melasma, and brown spots.
BBL treatments can improve tone and clarity in these delicate areas with minimal downtime. Often, we see patients pair facial treatments with neck and chest treatments to secure a more balanced rejuvenation result.
Arms, Hands, Back, and Legs: Areas Commonly Affected by Sun Damage
When determining age, one often looks at the hands, as they are even more revealing than the face. Not only are our hands the driving force behind nearly everything we do, but they are often under-protected. Similarly, areas like the arms and legs commonly develop age spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation from years of UV exposure. The same goes for one’s back, which is likely to see discoloration, redness, or acne-related concerns.
Since these larger treatment areas often experience cumulative environmental exposure, BBL treatments can help restore a clearer, more even appearance with gradual improvement after each session.
Scalp and Spot Treatments: Targeted Correction
Have you ever burned your scalp after a day in the sun? Whether you parted your hair and forgot to apply sunscreen or you have thinner hair with minimal sun protection, nothing is quite like that feeling, and it is the perfect demonstration of how easily the scalp gets forgotten. Since the scalp is often hidden under one’s hair, we often don’t notice skin concerns until our hair begins to thin. There may be individual lesions, sunspots, or discoloration that become apparent as one ages.
With BBL technology, Knox Dermatology provides smaller, focused treatments that can target isolated pigmentation or redness. These spot treatments allow providers to address specific problem areas without treating a larger region, making them ideal for patients with targeted cosmetic concerns or visible signs of sun damage on the scalp.
Forever Clear Acne: BBL Beyond Anti-Aging
BBL technology is not just limited to pigmentation and anti-aging concerns. It can also be used to address active breakouts and inflammation, which is where Forever Clear Acne treatments come into play. Forever Clear BBL treatments use the same technology to effectively target acne without the side effects of traditional acne medications.
