What to Expect During the Treatment

BBL® Heroic™/IPL Treatment is a comfortable, non-invasive procedure that usually lasts between 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

  • Light Therapy: The BBL® Heroic™ device delivers pulses of light to your skin. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation during the treatment.
  • Post-Treatment Care: After your session, we apply soothing products and SPF to protect your skin. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to maximize your results.

Most clients find the treatment relatively comfortable, with a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snap or warmth during the light pulses.

Downtime:

  • Minimal downtime, slight redness may appear for a few hours, similar to a mild sunburn.
  • No peeling or scabbing as with some other treatments.
  • You may experience some light darkening of pigmented spots for a few days before they fade.
