Most everyone can have BBL. In fact, it’s one of the only aesthetic treatments offered that is able to fix a variety of skin conditions whether they are epidermal (texture) or dermal (pigment).

BBL HERO® is the best option for patients who have plateaued with the results of traditional BBL and for patients who desire to reverse signs of premature aging and sun damage on their chest, arms, legs, and back. BBL HERO® is designed to treat large portions of the skin at one time. Multiple skin types can benefit from BBL, but we recommend having a consultation to determine if it is the best option for your skin tone. BBL is best for patients who have fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, pigmentation, or freckles on their face and neck. This treatment is designed to target smaller areas of the skin.

Since the BBL HERO® puts out more energy than BBL, there is minimal to no downtime with BBL HERO® treatments. Because of this characteristic, BBL+ and BBL HERO® are some of The Retreat’s most popular skin resurfacing treatments.

After undergoing a BBL HERO® or BBL treatment, you can expect to have some redness and darkening of pigment in the treated area immediately after treatment. The redness should subside within an hour or two, but the pigmented lesions, however, will continue to darken then disappear in the following 7-14 days. Many patients report that in 3 to 4 weeks after treatment, they notice an overall improvement in skin clarity, tone, and texture.

We recommend a minimum of 4 traditional BBL treatments in a 12-month period (1 every 3 months) or a series of 2 to 3 BBL HERO® treatments (1 every 4 months) to reverse sun damage and boost collagen and elastin production in the skin to ensure excellent skin health.
For best results, this treatment series should be repeated annually.
