Sciton Broad band light (BBL)
Broadband Light Therapy is also known as a Photofacial. BBL is a type of light treatment that has become popular for its ability to treat multiple skin concerns.
BBL is a non invasive procedure that uses high intensity light to improve skin conditions and promote collagen production, which can lead to firmer, clearer and more youthful skin.
BBL targets a range of skin issues including sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, redness and uneven skin tone and texture.
