What is BBL® HEROic™?

BBL® HEROic™ (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is a revolutionary phototherapy treatment that uses light energy to target pigmentation, redness, and other visible signs of aging or sun damage. It is an upgraded, faster, and more effective version of traditional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) that delivers brighter, more even-toned skin with little to no downtime.

How does BBL® HEROic™ work?

BBL works by delivering pulses of light that gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The energy targets melanin and blood vessels that cause discoloration, breaking them down so your body can naturally eliminate them. This stimulates cell regeneration, resulting in a smoother, clearer, and more youthful appearance.

What skin concerns can BBL treat?

BBL is highly effective in treating:

• Sun damage and age spots
• Hyperpigmentation and freckles
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Redness and rosacea
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars

What areas can be treated with BBL?

BBL HEROic™ is safe for use on multiple areas, including:

• Face
• Neck
• Chest
• Shoulders
• Arms and hands
• Back

Anywhere you have visible sun damage, pigmentation, or uneven tone, BBL can help restore clarity.

What are the benefits of BBL HEROic™?

• Visibly brighter, more even-toned skin
• Minimal discomfort and little to no downtime
• Quick treatment time (often under 30 minutes)
• Long-lasting skin rejuvenation results
• Customizable for your unique skin concerns

How is BBL performed?

BBL is a quick, in-office procedure. Your provider will apply a cooling gel and use a handheld device to deliver light pulses across the treatment area. You’ll wear protective eyewear during the session. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm snap or rubber band flick — very tolerable and fast.

Is BBL painful?

BBL is generally well tolerated. Most patients experience a mild warmth or snapping sensation during treatment, but discomfort is minimal thanks to advanced cooling technology built into the device.

What can I expect after a BBL treatment?

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or warm — similar to a mild sunburn. Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before flaking or fading. You can resume most daily activities right away, though sun protection is crucial during the healing process.

What is the downtime with BBL?

There is little to no downtime with BBL. Most patients can return to normal routines the same day. Makeup can usually be applied immediately, and any redness or darkening typically resolves within 5–7 days.

How many BBL treatments will I need?

A series of 3–5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended for best results, though this may vary based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Some patients continue with maintenance sessions 1–2 times a year.

Is BBL safe?

Yes — BBL is FDA-cleared and considered very safe when performed by experienced professionals. At Texas Facial Aesthetics, your treatment is performed or overseen by highly trained medical professionals with your safety and satisfaction in mind.

HEROic

Is BBL safe for all skin types?

While BBL HEROic™ is safe for many skin types, it is most effective on lighter skin tones. Patients with darker skin tones may need to be evaluated for customized treatment options, as there’s a higher risk of pigmentation changes with certain energy levels. A consultation will determine the best approach for your skin.

Who is a good candidate for BBL?

You may be a great candidate if you:

• Have visible signs of sun damage or aging
• Struggle with redness or pigmentation
• Want a non-invasive way to improve your skin tone and texture
• Are in good general health and not pregnant
• Are committed to sun protection post-treatment

Can I get BBL if I’m pregnant?

BBL is not recommended during pregnancy due to hormonal skin fluctuations and the lack of clinical studies on treatment safety in pregnant individuals. We advise waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Are there any contraindications for BBL?

BBL may not be recommended if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have recently used Accutane (within the last 6–12 months)
• Have an active infection or open wounds in the treatment area
• Have a history of light-triggered seizures or certain skin conditions

A thorough medical consultation is essential before starting treatment.
