Hello Amy, I thought I’d touch base with you with results of the BBL hero treatment. I did notice some tightening of the skin especially around the jaw line but I noticed much less reduction of redness on my cheeks. So since the redness is my primary reason for having a BBL it looks like I’ll stick to the original method.
NOTES FROM DR. PRISCHMANN:
Excellent feedback, Mary! Because of comments like yours, we will often discuss...
What are the benefits of BBL HERO™?
Because we are able to deliver more total light energy to the skin, we are able to achieve the desired results in a shorter period of time. It is also considered safer than traditional “stamping” BBL. Patients are able to see significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and collagen production with fewer total sessions compared to traditional stamping pulsed light procedures.
BBL HERO is faster, more comfortable, and less painful than traditional IPL/BBL procedures
What areas can be treated with BBL HERO™?
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
- Other areas of the body are commonly treated at other practices. We specialize in the face, neck, and chest.
Preparing for BBL HERO™
To prepare for BBL HERO, avoid sun exposure and tanning, including self-tanners, for at least four weeks before your treatment. Refrain from using retinol, exfoliants, or any harsh skincare products on the treatment area for at least five days prior. If needed, a numbing cream may be applied on the day of the procedure. Additionally, it’s essential to keep your skin hydrated and wear sunscreen with a high SPF leading up to your appointment to protect the skin and ensure optimal results.
The BBL HERO™ Treatment
BBL HERO delivers high-intensity wavelengths of light to the skin through a specialized handpiece, targeting sun damage and discoloration to improve tone and texture. During treatment, many patients describe the sensation as similar to a light rubber band snap. This advanced procedure rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production, addressing pigmentation, and promoting a more youthful appearance.
BBL HERO™ Recovery & Results
Post-treatment care following BBL HERO involves following a gentle skincare routine and avoiding sun exposure. You may notice temporary redness or mild swelling in the treated area during the healing process, which are common side effects and should subside within a few days. Over the next few weeks, brown spots and other signs of aging will gradually fade as your skin renews, revealing a more even tone and youthful appearance. To protect your results, it’s essential to apply SPF daily to shield your skin from further sun damage and maintain the treatment’s long-lasting benefits.
How much does BBL HERO™ cost?
The cost of BBL HERO depends on the areas treated. The cost for a full face BBL is $395 per treatment. Once your customized treatment plan is developed, we can provide you with a detailed cost estimate. If you have any additional questions about the price of this procedure, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our practice.
