BBL Laser Treatment

Restore your skin’s youthful glow with BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy at AW Plastic Surgery in Portsmouth, NH! This non-invasive, light-based treatment targets the most common signs of aging and sun damage. BBL uses pulses of light energy to correct pigmentation, reduce redness, and smooth your skin’s texture with minimal downtime. Whether you are looking to refresh your complexion or maintain results between other treatments, BBL is a powerful tool for long-term skin rejuvenation.

A Light-Based Treatment That Reverses Years of Damage

BBL is an advanced version of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. It uses broad-spectrum light to gently heat the upper layers of your skin. This light energy targets areas of discoloration, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the skin to renew itself from within. Unlike ablative laser treatments, BBL does not damage the skin’s surface, making it a safe and effective option for many skin types.

At AW Plastic Surgery, we offer BBL as part of our comprehensive skin rejuvenation program. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands, which are where sun damage or signs of aging are typically most visible.

I reached out to Dr. Anthony Wilson’s office in regards to a breast augmentation. I was extremely nervous, but right away the staff made me feel very comfortable from the first initial consultation all the way until my final appointment after the surgery. They made me feel normal that I wasn’t alright with my body and the way it looked after 3 kids, and were also a huge help to recommend sizing that was proportionate to my body type and the size I wanted to be. Dr. Wilson always has a smile on his face and is calm and extremely professional. He makes you feel at ease with your decisions and is very open and out front about what is going to happen before, during, and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson and his team to anyone looking to get a breast augmentation and any other skin care/body needs!

What Can BBL Help With?

BBL is one of the most versatile, non-invasive treatments available. It can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Sun damage and brown spots
  • Redness and rosacea
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Fine lines and enlarged pores
  • Acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (in some cases)

Because BBL treatments require no downtime, many patients incorporate them into a regular skin maintenance plan for ongoing clarity and brightness.

BBL vs Other Treatments

While BBL is often compared to laser treatments, it uses light rather than a single laser wavelength. This allows it to target a broader range of skin concerns, especially those related to pigmentation and redness. BBL is ideal for surface-level correction, while options like MOXI and HALO are better suited for deeper skin remodeling or texture improvement.

Many patients combine BBL with MOXI for full-spectrum skin care, as BBL targets discoloration, while MOXI boosts collagen and improves texture. Our providers can help you decide which treatment (or combination) is right for your skin goals.

What to Expect During BBL Treatment

BBL is performed in-office and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap against the skin, similar to a rubber band.

Here is what to expect:

  • Preparation: No numbing is required, although protective eyewear will be provided.
  • Treatment: Pulses of light are delivered in a controlled pattern across the skin.
  • Post-Treatment: The skin may feel warm or appear slightly red for a few hours. Brown spots may darken temporarily before flaking off within a week.
  • Recovery: No downtime is needed. You may wear makeup and return to normal activities the same day.

A series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results. Maintenance sessions may be suggested a few times per year to keep your skin looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions About BBL Laser Treatment

Is BBL the same as IPL?

BBL is an advanced form of IPL. While both use light to treat pigmentation and redness, BBL delivers more customizable, precise energy for improved results and patient comfort.

How soon will I see results after BBL?

Many patients notice improvements within 7 to 10 days. Brown spots often darken before flaking off, revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath. Full results typically appear after several treatments.

Does BBL hurt?

Most patients describe BBL as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. It feels like small snaps on the skin. No numbing is required, although cooling and other comfort measures are used during treatment.

Can BBL be done on darker skin tones?

BBL is safest for lighter skin tones. For patients with deeper skin tones, other treatments, such as MOXI or chemical peels, may be more appropriate. Our team will assess your skin to recommend the safest and most effective option.

How long do BBL results last?

With proper skincare and sun protection, BBL results can last for several months. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments a few times per year to preserve their results.
