Broad Band Light Therapy - "Erasing the Marks on Your Skin"

       

It used to be that sun and age spots, rosacea, moles, and hyperpigmentation were conditions you just had to live with -- unless you were willing to have them literally cut out, and often times even this radical approach was unrealistic if large areas of the body were involved.

However, with the pulsing power of Broad Band Light Therapy (BBL), skin spots, blemishes, broken blood vessels, rosacea redness, and moles are all literally erased without surgery or inconvenience. Trouble spots just dry up and fall off after treatment. BBL can be done during lunch time and any area of the body can be treated.

Q. How Does It Work For Age Spots and Skin Lesions?
A.The light energy delivered by the BBL gently heats the upper layers of the skin. This absorbed heat dries the spot on the surface while stimulating the skin underneath to replace it with new blemish-free skin. The process is similar to a caterpillar going into a cocoon and coming out looking completely different. It's hard to describe the dramatic difference in words, so see the pictures in the photo gallery. The number of treatments depends on the size and depth of the area to be treated. Each treatment could take a few minutes to half an hour, again depending on the number, size, and depth of lesions to be treated. You'll have to avoid direct sunlight and wear a sunscreen until the area is fully healed.
 

Q. How Does It Work for Rosacea and Broken Blood Vessels?
A. Again, the light energy delivered by the BBL gently heats the upper layers of the skin. This absorbed heat will cause the blood vessel wall to deteriorate and dry up to eliminate the blood vessel and the red coloration that it caused. The number of treatments depends on the size and depth of the area to be treated. Generally it will take at least 3-4 treatments to decrease the redness and visible blood vessels. Each treatment could take a few minutes to half an hour, again depending on the size and depth. You'll have to avoid direct sunlight and wear a sunscreen until the area is fully healed.
 

Q. What Does It Feel Like?
A. Responses vary by patient with people reporting a warming of the skin or a rubber band snap sensation. The skin is chilled during the treatment to protect it and to provide localized anesthesia. No other anesthesia is necessary.
 

Q. How Long Will It Take To Heal?
A. Skin redness may be present for a few hours after treatment. Pigmented areas will darken in the first several hours, and then fade and flake off over the next 7 to 10 days, leaving behind clear, blemish free skin.
 

Q. How Does Dr. Mudd's Sciton BBL Differ from Previously Available IPL Treatments?
A. Dr. Mudd's Sciton BBL machine uses the latest technology to increase the light energy delivered so that we are seeing faster results than those seen by older, less powerful machines. The Sciton BBL also uses state of the art chilling technology to protect the skin from damage such as burns during the treatment which can be seen with machines that do not protect the skin as well.
