BroadBand Light Laser in Lake Oswego, OR

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 practice, Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Lake Oswego, OR, provides Broadband Light utilizing our BBL® HERO™ at the recommendation of plastic surgeons Dr. Mark A. Petroff and Dr. Brian Scott 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.

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. Broadband light, also called BBL, 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.

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 the procedure, 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 the treatment 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.

Following the treatment, a soothing cream will be applied to your skin. Our estheticians 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 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.

Broadband light therapy uses innovative technology to improve the look and feel of your skin, no matter what skin condition you may be experiencing. By creating youthful, glowing, and even skin, the BBL® HERO™ can help you regain confidence in your appearance.
