What is BroadBand Light Therapy?
Broadband light (BBL) treatment uses regenerating technology to enhance the aesthetics of your skin and helps it to look more youthful and smoother. It works by employing therapeutic light energy that mildly heats the skin and promotes collagen production. Individuals with a wide variety of skin conditions can benefit from BBL therapy because it works to correct many forms of pigmentation, including sun damage, unwanted freckles, rosacea, and broken blood vessels. It can also help create a more even and smooth skin texture to produce fresh, glowing skin. Additionally, Broadband light therapy can be added to other aesthetic treatments to meet your needs and goals. Our Med-Spa, Premier Laser + Skin, in Lake Oswego, OR, provides Broadband Light utilizing our BBL® HERO™ at the recommendation of plastic surgeon Dr. Mark A. Petroff as an innovative therapy proven to help restore our patients' confidence in their skin. The BBL HERO, with proven anti-aging results, helps to smooth, clarify, and even your skin with speeds of up to four times faster than standard treatment options.
What Are the Benefits of BBL Therapy?
Patients often turn to BroadBand Light therapy for its ability to address a wide range of skin concerns. Beyond improving the surface of your skin, this treatment provides benefits that can enhance both your appearance and your confidence, including:
- Reducing redness, rosacea, and uneven skin tone
- Improving the appearance of sun damage, age spots, and freckles
- Stimulating collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
- Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Treating active acne and reducing acne-related discoloration
- Providing long-term skin rejuvenation with little to no downtime
- Customizable treatments tailored to your skin's unique needs
Am I A Candidate for BroadBand Light Treatment?
An ideal candidate for Broadband Light therapy is anyone suffering from hyperpigmentation or other irregularities in their skin. This could be due to acne, sun damage, damaged capillaries, or rosacea. BBL therapy also helps make the skin appear younger by stimulating the regeneration of collagen. Depending on the type of modality and filter used, the BBL HERO can be used as both a treatment and/or maintenance regimen for a wide array of skin conditions. Before receiving treatment, our estheticians will explain how Broadband Light technology can help achieve your desired results.
How Are BroadBand Light Treatments Performed?
After developing the appropriate treatment plan, the settings of the Broadband Light device will be adjusted to fit the needs of your skin. Before beginning your BBL treatment, your eyes will be covered to protect them from the light of the laser. Our aestheticians will then gently pass the laser over your skin while concentrating on the problem areas. The amount of time needed for each BBL photofacial session will vary depending on the skin condition and if any other treatments were added to the session. Typically, Broadband Light procedures can be completed in about an hour or less at our Lake Oswego, OR practice.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
I highly recommend the Petroff Center. I scheduled a consult with Dr. Petroff in early 2023 to discuss the CO2 laser for what I felt was significant acne scarring from my teen years. Dr. Petroff recommended that I instead do a couple sessions of the Halo laser, which would be performed by a medical esthetician. (The Halo does not require general anesthesia and therefore is much less expensive. This made me feel extra confident that the Center had my best interests in mind.) I had my first Halo session in March 2023 and second in January 2024, both with Brittany Mckinster. Brittany answered all of my questions thoroughly, talked me through the procedure, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I was 100% confident in her expertise from the start. I was thrilled with the results from my first Halo session, and honestly could have been satisfied stopping there, but now I’m addicted! The scars were softened to the extent that I rarely worried about them after I had healed from the procedure (~3 weeks for me). I also noticed overall improvement in pore size and texture. I am excited to see how my second session heals. Thank you, Petroff Center!
Kasey did an excellent job, answering all my questions prior to my Halo treatment and setting my nerves at ease. This was my first laser procedure.
I had my first session with Kasey for BBL and it went so well! She’s very good at what she does and explained how the treatment would help my skin. She told me what to expect over the next two weeks and suggested a product to help with redness. I will be booking again!
Laser hair removal- My experience with Kasey was great. She is so nice and professional. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I have tried laser hair removal at a different esthetics spa and after 1 treatment at Petroff it was already so much more effective than the other spa. Highly recommend laser hair removal at Petroff with Kasey!
I have received care from Dr. Petroff at the Petroff Center (facial surgery) and Melissa at Premier (laser skin treatments at the medi-spa side of the center). My experiences exceeded all expectations, and as someone who has seen many healthcare providers, the attention to detail and level of care provided at the Petroff Center is unmatched. The entire team is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, and so quick to respond to questions. Dr. Petroff was thoughtful and open during our initial meeting and consultation, and helped me understand what realistic expectations could look like. He is highly skilled, and the results of my surgery were above and beyond what I expected. For me, the care I’ve received at the Petroff Center/Premier has been life-changing, and while I always hope that internal beauty and character trumps the importance of physical appearance, most of us do care deeply about how we look. Dr. Petroff and his team were able to make incredible changes to my two primary sources of insecurity (a core facial feature and skin-related challenges) and they are now two of my favorite things about my appearance. This has exponentially increased my quality of life. The Petroff Center is truly a world-class practice, with an incredible and skilled team of professionals, beautiful and impeccably maintained offices and facilities, and the best care and service. They think of every detail and make themselves fully available for questions and concerns. I would recommend the Petroff Center to anyone seeking support of the types they offer. They’re wonderful!

What to Expect After Your BBL Treatment
Following the treatment, a soothing cream will be applied to your skin. Our aestheticians will also provide post-treatment care instructions and may advise limited sun exposure. Otherwise, patients are typically able to resume their normal daily routine. Results from the BBL HERO can be seen within 2 – 6 weeks following the initial treatment, but optimal results will typically be seen after multiple BBL photofacial treatments. Our estheticians will provide the recommended number of treatments to receive your desired outcome. Overall, you should see clearer, brighter skin with fewer texture and complexion issues present.
