Achieving clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin is easier than ever with BroadBand Light (BBL) photofacials.
But how effective is a BBL photofacial? In this guide, we’ll review before and after results, how the treatment works, and what to expect on your journey to healthier skin.
BBL Photofacial Before and After Results: What to Expect
Many clients see noticeable improvements after just one session, but optimal results often come from a series of treatments.
Before Photofacial Treatment: Common Skin Concerns
-
Sun damage, freckles, and age spots
-
Active ance, post-acne marks, and stains
-
Redness from rosacea or broken capillaries

Uneven skin tone and dullness

Fine lines and uneven skin texture or crepe-like changes
Immediately After Treatment
-
Skin may appear slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.
-
Areas with pigmentation may darken temporarily before fading.
-
A mild warm sensation is common but fades within a few hours.
1-2 Weeks After Treatment
-
Dark spots begin to fade or flake off, revealing clearer skin.
-
Redness and vascular lesions diminish significantly.
-
Skin appears brighter and more even-toned.
1 Month and Beyond
-
Collagen production increases, improving skin texture and elasticity.
-
Fine lines begin to soften.
-
With multiple sessions, skin continues to look brighter, clearer, and smoother skin over time.
How Many BBL Treatments Are Needed for Optimal Results?
The number of treatments varies based on skin concerns, but most clients see the best results with:
-
1-3 sessions for mild pigmentation or redness
-
3-5 sessions for more significant sun damage or rosacea
-
6+ sessions for acne concerns
-
Ongoing maintenance (1-4 sessions per year) to preserve results
BBL not only treats existing skin concerns but also slows down signs of aging by stimulating youthful gene expression at a cellular level.
