BroadBand Light (BBL™) Photorejuvenation Skin Treatment
Rediscover a clear, even, and confident complexion with BBL photorejuvenation at Lily Aesthetics and Wellness.
If you live with dark spots from the sun, redness, rosacea, visible vessels, or a dull tone, BBL offers a refined and reliable way to refresh your skin with minimal downtime.
BBL uses high intensity pulses of filtered light to target pigmentation and redness while supporting healthy collagen.
The treatment is precise, customizable, and comfortable. It fits easily into a busy Dallas lifestyle and pairs beautifully with a modern skincare routine.
What is BBL Photorejuvenation
BroadBand Light or BBL is an advanced form of intense pulsed light therapy that treats discoloration, redness, visible capillaries, and textural dullness.

During the procedure, controlled light energy passes safely through the surface of the skin. Specific wavelengths are selected to focus on brown pigment and hemoglobin in tiny vessels. These targets absorb the energy and are gently cleared by the body. Over time the skin looks brighter, clearer, and more uniform.
BBL is not an ablative laser. The surface of your skin remains intact which means little to no downtime.
Treatments are quick and comfortable. Many guests schedule a session during a lunch break and return to their day looking only slightly flushed.
Concerns BBL Can Improve
BBL is loved for its versatility. It can improve the look of many common concerns that often show up after years of sun exposure or as part of natural aging.
- Sun spots and age spots
- Freckles and uneven tone
- Redness and rosacea
- Visible facial veins and broken capillaries
- Post acne marks that linger as brown or red spots
- Dullness and loss of radiance
- Early fine lines and textural roughness
- General photoaging on the face, neck, chest, and hands
How BBL Works in Simple Terms
Light is energy and different colors of light seek different targets. During a BBL session we choose filters that match the color of the concern we want to treat. Brown pigment from sun spots absorbs one selection of wavelengths.
Red tones in tiny vessels absorb another. The absorbed energy creates a gentle heat that disrupts the unwanted pigment or vessel while sparing surrounding tissue.
Your body then breaks down and clears the treated pigment or vessel over the next days and weeks. At the same time, the controlled heat signals the skin to renew itself and support fresh collagen which softens early fine lines and improves smoothness.
Why Dallas Patients Love BBL
Dallas life often involves generous sunshine. Sun protection is essential, yet even with care many people eventually notice spots, freckles, and redness.
BBL is designed for photoaged skin.
It quickly softens the visual signs of long days outdoors and restores a healthy looking glow. Sessions are fast, results build with each treatment, and you can maintain results through the seasons with occasional touch ups.
Who Makes a Good Candidate
Most healthy adults with concerns like brown spots, uneven tone, or facial redness can benefit from BBL. The technology is most effective for lighter to medium complexions because melanin competes for light energy.
Patients with deeper skin tones may still qualify using conservative settings or an alternate technology. During your consultation we examine your skin, review your medical history, and design a plan that is safe and effective for your unique complexion.
Areas We Treat
BBL can be used on many parts of the body. The most popular areas include the face, neck, chest, shoulders, forearms, and hands.

These areas receive the most sun and often show discoloration first. We can also treat the back, legs, and other sites when appropriate.
Your BBL Experience at Lily Aesthetics and Wellness
Thoughtful consultation
We begin with a detailed skin evaluation. We discuss your goals, review your skincare routine and sun exposure habits, and identify any medical conditions or medications that require adjustments. Photographs are taken to document progress.
Together we decide on a treatment plan that fits your schedule and your lifestyle.
Gentle treatment
Your skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is placed. A cool gel helps conduct light and enhance comfort. The handpiece glides across the skin delivering a series of quick light pulses. You may sense a warm snap as each pulse lands.
Most clients describe the sensation as very tolerable. Sessions usually last fifteen to thirty minutes depending on the area.
After your session
Mild redness and warmth similar to a light sun exposure can appear for a few hours. Brown spots often darken and look like tiny coffee grounds within one to three days. They naturally flake away over the next week revealing clearer skin.
Makeup can be worn the same day in most cases.
How Many Treatments Will I Need
Results appear progressively. Many clients see visible improvement in as little as one to two sessions. For a thorough renewal we typically recommend a series of three to five treatments spaced three to four weeks apart.
Your plan may be shorter or longer depending on your starting point and goals. After the initial series, maintenance sessions two to four times per year help keep pigment and redness under control.
Results You Can Expect
- A brighter, more even tone
- Fewer noticeable dark spots and freckles
- Softer background redness
- Reduced appearance of small vessels
- A smoother, fresher look with refined pores
- A healthy glow that makes skin look rested and vibrant
Patients often comment that they feel comfortable in minimal makeup again. Results continue to build with each treatment and remain longer when daily sun protection becomes a habit.
Comfort and Safety
Your comfort matters. BBL includes integrated cooling and we adjust settings to match your skin type and concern. We do not rush. Communication during the session allows us to keep the experience pleasant. Most clients complete a session without numbing cream. For those who prefer extra comfort, we can discuss options during your consultation.
Safety is always our priority. We screen for conditions and medications that increase light sensitivity. We avoid treatment over active infections, open wounds, or suspicious lesions.
Pregnant women should postpone treatment. You are in the hands of trained professionals who respect your wellbeing as much as your results.
Pairing BBL with Other Treatments
BBL works beautifully within a comprehensive plan.
We may suggest pairing or sequencing with other therapies to address tone, texture, and contour together.
- Medical grade skincare with vitamin C, retinoids, and daily SPF to protect your investment
- Chemical peels for additional brightening and smoothing
- Microneedling for collagen support and texture
- Neurotoxin injections for expression lines
- Dermal fillers for volume restoration
We build plans that fit your calendar, your budget, and your comfort level.
Preparing for Your BBL Session
A little preparation helps ensure a smooth experience.
- Avoid tanning and self tanners for at least two weeks before treatment
- Use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day and reapply during outdoor time
- Pause photosensitizing skincare like retinoids or strong exfoliants three to five days before
- Inform us about all medications and supplements
- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotion, or perfume on the treatment area

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people describe a warm snap similar to a quick rubber band tap along with a feeling of heat that fades quickly. Built in cooling keeps the skin comfortable. Treatments are very tolerable and fast.
A full face typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes. Adding the neck, chest, or hands extends the session but most visits still finish within thirty to forty five minutes.
There is little to no downtime. Expect temporary redness and darkening of brown spots. Makeup can usually be applied the same day. Plan for one week of visible flaking of tiny dark spots as they lift away.
Many clients notice a clearer look within seven to ten days after the first treatment. Improvements continue to build with each session. The most dramatic change appears after a full series.
Most people benefit from three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. Maintenance treatments two to four times per year help keep pigment and redness from returning.
Pigment that has lifted is gone. New spots can appear with ongoing sun exposure which is why sunscreen and maintenance treatments are important. With good sun habits results remain for a long time.
BBL is an excellent option to reduce the facial redness and visible vessels that often accompany rosacea. It does not cure the condition but it softens the look and improves comfort. Maintenance sessions are helpful because rosacea can flare with triggers.
BBL works best on lighter to medium complexions. Darker skin tones may still qualify using careful settings. We will evaluate your skin in person and recommend the safest path forward.
You can receive BBL during summer if you can avoid tanning before and after sessions. Consistent sunscreen and careful sun habits are essential. If your plans include heavy outdoor exposure we may suggest delaying or switching to an alternate treatment.
BBL uses a broad spectrum flash of filtered light that targets both browns and reds across larger areas. Lasers use a single wavelength for a more focused target and are often chosen for deeper lines or scars. Both have a place. We help you choose the right tool for the job.
BBL can reduce the appearance of post acne discoloration and may calm active breakouts when specific filters are used. For persistent acne we often pair BBL with a medical grade skincare program and other targeted therapies.
Temporary redness, warmth, and swelling are the most common. Brown spots darken before they flake away. Rare effects include bruising, blistering, changes in pigment, or texture changes. Careful settings and good aftercare reduce these risks.
Avoid treatment during pregnancy, while taking isotretinoin, or if you have active infections, open wounds, or a history of keloid scarring in the area. Tell us about all medications, recent sun exposure, and any history of cold sores so we can plan appropriate prevention.
Keep it simple and protective. Use a gentle cleanser, soothing moisturizer, and broad spectrum sunscreen. Avoid heat, scrubs, and strong actives until the skin feels calm. Do not pick at darkened spots.
Freckles often lighten significantly. Some may fade completely while others soften but remain.
