IPL & BBL®

Illuminate Youthful Beauty

Most of us love soaking up vitamin D as much as the next person, but we don’t love the sunspots that come with it. While it’s not always possible to avoid hyperpigmentation, light therapy technologies offer skin rejuvenation treatments that diminish the look of unwanted skin conditions. IPL and BBL® light therapies remove dark spots, rosacea, pesky acne scars, freckles, and even fine wrinkles to reveal a luminous, youthful appearance.

+ overview

What Is IPL?

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy (also known as a photofacial) uses light to treat the skin, transforming dull, red, or textured skin into clear, firm, radiant skin. The science behind IPL applies broad-spectrum light to the surface of the skin to target pigment irregularities, such as red and brown spots, which naturally build up over the years. Besides color correction, IPL therapy offers a holistic approach to an improved skin appearance.

What Is BBL®?

BroadBand Light treatment falls in the same category as IPL but takes light therapy to the next level. High-intensity light targets skin imperfections, kickstarting the body’s natural regeneration process. As your body activates its cellular repair function, anti-aging skin components such as collagen and elastin are produced, revealing fresh, luminous skin.

What Are the Benefits of IPL & BBL®?

IPL and BBL® light therapy technologies harness the power of broad-spectrum light to remove hyperpigmentation from the skin and result in a clearer and firmer complexion:

Targeted Approach: Reverse the look of sun damage or acne scars with light therapy that can correct these specific cosmetic concerns.
Gentle on the Skin: While powerful on skin imperfections, light therapy is gentle on the surrounding skin, meaning less time spent in recovery, and more time enjoying your skin.
Noticeable Results: IPL and BBL® treatments are fine-tuned to treat your needs, removing hyperpigmentation from your skin, and improving overall skin appearance in just a few weeks.

IPL and BBL® therapies offer a non-invasive treatment to solve multiple skin conditions. From dark spots and rosacea to fine lines and wrinkles, these light therapy options target your unique skin concerns, improving the overall look and texture of your skin.

What Areas Can Be Treated With IPL & BBL®?

As versatile as its benefits, IPL and BBL® can treat problem areas on most of your body. One of the most common aesthetic treatments, IPL and BBL® therapies are most commonly used to treat the face, neck, decolletage, and hands. Within these areas, the treatments target age spots, brown spots, broken blood vessels, fine lines, and even scars from surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IPL work?

An IPL photo facial is a non-invasive procedure that takes approximately 20-30 minutes. IPL photo facials work by emitting intense pulses of light energy that pull areas of hyperpigmentation to the skin’s surface. After preparing your skin and covering your eyes with protective shields, your trained technician will pass a handheld device over your skin. Following treatment, dark spots become lighter and break down, revealing a clear and firm complexion.

How does BBL® work?

Similar to IPL treatments, BBL® therapy uses a broad spectrum of light that is especially potent to target multiple skin conditions. While most laser treatments operate on a single wavelength, BBL® treatments can filter color, targeting your skin’s unique problem areas. After customizing a treatment plan that fits your unique needs, we adjust the programming on the BroadBand Light device to target those areas, requiring only 15-30 minutes of your time.

So, which is better: IPL or BBL®?

The answer comes down to your skin goals. Both treatments harness light therapy and produce visible results. However, if you are tackling pigmentation issues such as uneven skin tone or redness, IPL may be right for you. If your goal is to reduce hyperpigmentation and feel a deeper rejuvenation through a boost in collagen, then BBL® is the way to go.

Is IPL or BBL® a painful treatment?

No. IPL and BBL® therapies are not painful treatments. However, as energy is released onto your skin during treatments, you may experience mild pulsing or tingling sensations, which most patients do not consider painful. After treatment, you may notice redness or experience mild swelling that should subside within a few hours. In addition, the short treatment times of IPL and BBL® therapies make them ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Who is a good candidate for IPL or BBL®?

Due to the nature of light therapy, IPL and BBL® are safest for light skin tones. Since your skin’s melanin absorbs light energy, darker skin tones (which contain more melanin) are more susceptible to burning, scarring, or hyperpigmentation. At Body+Beauty Lab, we offer a skin consultation before beginning treatment to ensure your safety while working towards your skin goals.

"I’ve now had 3 BBL treatments and a Hydrofacial with Judy and my skin has never looked better! She took the time to explain my treatment options to improve my skin and has always been kind and professional. Also 5 stars for overall cleanliness of the entire office. Definitely recommend!"

"Michelle is very professional, informative and gentle! I highly recommend the Body and Beauty Lab Philly. Love my results from IPL!"

I had such a great experience at this spa. My friend recommended it to me & I'm glad I went. I met with LeighAnn & Michelle for a general consultation on my skin and got some feedback on products I should try and a very thorough regimen. I was surprised at how much sun damage I already had that I wouldn't have even realized without the scan they did. The women I met with were very kind, funny, and knowledgeable. They answered all of my wacky questions and I left feeling better about next steps. I also tried IPL and was very pleased with the procedure. We noticed immediate changes!"
