We tested it for you… BBL, the pulsed light treatment

Looking for a treatment that can target the signs of aging and boost your skin’s radiance? Our Communications Director, Fanny, tested the BBL treatment for you at Doctor Olivier Claude’s practice. We tell you all about this new pulsed-light treatment capable of treating a variety of skin problems, including the signs of photoaging.

The benefits of BBL for the skin

BBL treatment is indicated to target:

Pigmentation spots (brown spots, freckles or age spots)
Acne and scars
Diffuse redness (rosacea, angiomas and telangiectasias)
Dilated pores
Deep lesions
Fine lines and skin aging
Collagen and elastin synthesis

“I’ve always had small vessels on the sides of my nose and cheeks, with a patch of rosacea on my right cheek. In 3 sessions (4 weeks apart), my redness almost disappeared. What’s most impressive is my complexion’s uniformity. This treatment erases all the little imperfections (spots, scars, vessels…); I’ve gained in radiance, my skin is radiant and less tired!”

Unlike a conventional intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment, BBL is more effective and gentler on the skin. Doctor Olivier Claude explains: “Thanks to its 2 lamps that emit pulsed light simultaneously, we can control the intensity of each movement to deliver the optimum amount of energy into the skin.”

Furthermore, all the areas of the body most exposed to the sun (such as the neck, back of hands, cleavage and back) can be treated with BBL. Sessions are also more comfortable than conventional IPL: “Pulses are broken down into 4 pulses/sec, reducing the sensation of skin overheating. BBL technology is also equipped with an adjustable cooling system (between 0°C and 30° C) depending on the lesion to be treated, skin color and patient sensitivity.”
