BBL Photofacial in Beverly Hills
& Los Angeles
At Sykes Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, we offer the BroadBand Light (BBL) Photofacial as one of the most advanced light-based treatments for clearer, younger-looking skin. Using BroadBand light (BBL) technology, this treatment safely targets sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone at the source, restoring a brighter and smoother complexion.
BBL Photofacial is ideal for individuals seeking to reverse the visible signs of aging or sun exposure without the need for surgery or downtime. It works by gently delivering controlled pulses of light energy into the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen while fading discoloration and broken capillaries.
If you are seeking a refreshed, radiant complexion and long-term skin rejuvenation, BBL Photofacial offers a safe and effective solution.
Understanding the BBL Photofacial
BBL Photofacial uses targeted light energy to treat skin imperfections caused by aging, environmental damage, and genetics. It is a non-invasive treatment that delivers BBL into the deeper layers of the skin, where it heats and stimulates natural cell regeneration.
BBL Photofacial can improve the appearance of:
- Sunspots and freckles
- Redness and rosacea
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven tone and dull skin
- Visible capillaries
- Age spots and hyperpigmentation
The treatment is fully customizable and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Benefits of BBL Photofacial
At Sykes Plastic Surgery, every BBL Photofacial is performed with medical precision to ensure optimal safety and visible results. Patients typically experience noticeable skin improvements after just one session, with further enhancements over time.
Key benefits include:
- Reduction in sun damage and age spots
- More even skin tone and texture
- Decrease in redness, flushing, and broken capillaries
- Smoother, firmer skin with increased collagen production
- Little to no downtime
- Safe for most skin types
This treatment is often referred to as the “next generation of IPL” for its superior comfort, effectiveness, and long-term skin renewal.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your BBL Photofacial begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your skin concerns and determine the best wavelength and settings for your goals.
A typical session includes:
- Preparation – The skin is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to ensure comfort.
- Light therapy – Controlled pulses of BBL energy are delivered to the skin. You may feel a warm, snapping sensation as the light targets pigment and blood vessels.
- Post-treatment care – A soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to protect the skin and enhance healing.
Most treatments take 30 to 45 minutes. You can expect a mild warmth or pinkness afterward, which usually fades within a few hours.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL Photofacial?
You may be an excellent candidate for a BBL Photofacial if you:
- Have visible sun damage or pigmentation
- Struggle with redness, rosacea, or flushing
- Notice uneven texture or dull skin
- Want to reduce fine lines and early aging
- Prefer a non-invasive option with no downtime
The treatment may not be suitable for those with very dark skin tones, active infections, or certain medical conditions. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin type and determine if BBL Photofacial is the best option for your goals.
Aftercare and Recovery
One of the greatest advantages of BBL Photofacial is its minimal recovery time. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
You may experience mild redness or darkening of pigmented spots in the days following treatment. These spots will gradually flake off, revealing clearer and more even-toned skin underneath.
For best results:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7 to 10 days
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Keep skin moisturized and avoid exfoliating for several days
- Follow any post-care instructions provided during your visit
Temporary sensitivity or warmth is normal and usually resolves quickly. When performed by skilled providers, BBL Photofacial is safe, precise, and highly effective.
