Reveal your best skin with HEROic

What is BBL HEROic Fotofacial?

Factors like prolonged sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, lifestyle habits such as poor diet or smoking, and genetics can take a toll on your skin’s health and appearance. Fortunately, there’s an effective solution to reverse the appearance of aging skin and environmental damage, restoring your skin to a healthier, more youthful state.

BBL HEROic is the most advanced pulsed light technology available today. While BBL HEROic shares the same core technology with its predecessors—BBL® and BBL® HERO™—HEROic introduces revolutionary technological advancements, including Intelligent Control™ (IC™) software and the Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™). These innovations facilitate faster, more effective treatments, enhanced patient comfort, and exceptional results for every patient.

The Most Advanced Light Therapy Yet

What happens during a BBL HEROic Fotofacial treatment?

During a BBL HEROic treatment, a clear gel is applied over the treatment areas to help your skin absorb light energy. As the treatment begins, you should feel minimal to no discomfort as your provider gently glides the handpiece over the skin.

Pulsed light improves your skin in two ways. Initially, it targets highly vascular and pigmented areas like visible blood vessels or sunspots, breaking them down for absorption by the body. Additionally, the generated heat acts within the collagen-rich areas, triggering the body’s healing response and resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.

Precision and Versatility

Effortless Radiance, No Downtime

What is the downtime for a BBL HEROic Fotofacial treatment?

There is minimal to downtime following treatment with BBL HEROic. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.

Key points to remember include:

  • Skin sensitivity: Your skin may feel sensitive, like a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 48 hours.
  • Healing process: You might notice temporary darkening of pigmented areas, along with some redness and swelling. These are part of the natural healing process, where damaged cells are replaced by new ones, repairing your skin.
  • Post-treatment care: Follow your provider’s advice, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect the skin, especially during the first 72 hours post-treatment. Depending on the skin’s pre-existing condition, mild discomfort, dryness, or minor crusting may occur.
  • Skincare and makeup: You can typically resume using skincare products and makeup within 1-2 days post-treatment.

The Secret to Skin That Never Ages

What results can I expect after a BBL HEROic Fotofacial treatment?

A week or two after a BBL HEROic treatment, your skin will appear more even, youthful, glowing, and smooth. Visible results can be seen in just 1 to 2 treatments, while optimal results are generally seen after completing a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your BBL HEROic sessions. Regular treatments can preserve your skin’s smooth, healthy glow for years to come!
