Latest-generation BBL photorejuvenation in Beaulieu-sur-mer

TREATMENT OF PIGMENTARY AND VASCULAR INJURIES

Pigmented lesions, such as brown spots, melasma and solar lentigos, are common skin conditions that can affect patients’ quality of life. Sun exposure, ageing, hormonal changes and certain medications can all contribute to the development of these lesions.

Vascular lesions, such as spider veins, rosacea, angiomas and ruby spots, are a common problem that can affect people of all ages. They can be unsightly and, in some cases, a source of great discomfort. Fortunately, there are now effective treatments to eliminate them, including Sciton’s Broadbrand Light (BBL) photorejuvenation, which treats pigmentary disorders and vascular lesions such as erythrocouperosis in a single session.

BroadBand Light (BBL)™ the most powerful IPL (intense pulsed light) device on the market from American laser manufacturer Sciton. It is now the benchmark laser for photorejuvenation, both for correction and prevention of ageing. BBL uses high-energy light waves of several wavelengths to penetrate the dermis to correct superficial irregularities and restore deeper layers, right down to cellular level.

This cutting-edge treatment stimulates the skin’s natural cell growth by boosting the synthesis of proteins such as collagen, which gives the skin its elasticity and firmness. A scientific study carried out by the prestigious Stanford University in 2013 showed that BBL treatment could modify the gene expression profile of dermal cells. More than 1,000 genes linked to the skin’s youthful appearance were re-expressed, while others linked to the ageing process were switched off. And the results persist for more than 10 years after treatment. While the promise of ‘rejuvenation’ appears on every tube of creams and other beauty treatments, only the protocol known as ‘BBL forever young’ can claim to deliver on this promise on a molecular scale.

An anti-ageing treatment

Stop time, take action to stop the metabolic and environmental ageing of your skin.
During the same session, several wavelengths will be emitted, each with a different ‘target’. As a result, this treatment can correct several indications in a single session. It brings immediate and lasting improvement to skin problems in a single session, leaving you with youthfully radiant skin and renewed confidence.
It is precisely this versatility that makes the BBL treatment so unique and versatile. Although BBL is similar to a laser (both belong to the category of photothermal treatments), it emits several wavelengths; this is known as polychromatic emission, unlike conventional lasers which only have a single wavelength.

What indications can be treated with BBL Sciton?

Wrinkles and fine lines
Skin laxity
Photoageing
Hyperpigmentation or melasma
Freckles
Acne
Visible pores
Rosacea
Erythro-couperosis
Flushing
Certain angiomas
Certain birthmarks
Telangiectasias

Different types of BBL protocols

There are several BBL protocols depending on the skin problem to be treated:

BBL FOREVER YOUNG: the most effective treatment for correcting and preventing all signs of ageing.
BBL FOREVER CLEAR: the protocol dedicated to the treatment of acne with an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.
BBL BODY: Treatment of skin laxity and sun spots all over the body.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient, and Dr FILIPPINI will tailor a treatment plan to suit your needs and the desired result. As a general rule, an initial treatment consists of between 2 and 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. For the most motivated, a quarterly maintenance session is recommended to retain all the benefits of the treatment and halt the damaging effects of ageing.

How does the procedure work?

After a thorough cleansing of your skin, a clinical examination and the taking of photographs, an ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment area. The procedure is fast and very well tolerated. Several passes are made over the same area. A sensation of intense, searing heat can sometimes be felt in certain areas when the treatment target absorbs the laser energy. If necessary, a stream of cold air at -30°C can be used. Your eyes are protected by lead goggles throughout the procedure, as BBL emits intense pulses of light very quickly.

What can I expect immediately after treatment?

This is a non-invasive procedure with no social eviction. However, as with any laser treatment, slight erythema or even oedema may be present, but these disappear within a few hours. In the case of sun lentigines and other pigmentation disorders, a darkening will be observed, a sign of the treatment’s effectiveness. Pigmentation problems will peel off a few days later like ‘scrubs’; no crusting with BBL! After a few days, your complexion will be brighter and more velvety.

What care should be taken after treatment?

You can resume your activities immediately after the treatment, and even reapply your make-up. In the event of severe redness, a few minutes under the LED will quickly calm the erythema. You should apply a skin-repair cream several times a day, along with sun protection, and take care when you go out in the sun. This is a photo-sensitising treatment carried out during autumn-winter on de-tanned skin.
