BBL stands for (Broad Band Light)
BBL works by delivering broad-spectrum light energy to the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin cell regeneration. The energy is converted to heat which breaks down unwanted pigment, constricts blood vessels, and stimulates collagen production. It is similar to IPL (Intense Pulse light) but BBL is a more advanced and effective form of treatment. BBL is great for treating aging skin including tone and texture, pigmentation, sun damage, acne/acne scars, and redness or broken capillaries associated with rosacea. There is minimal downtime with this treatment and can treat multiple areas of concern.
Vbeam
VBeam is the gold standard for vascular lesions. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses a pulsed dye laser to target and reduce the appearance of vascular skin conditions (rosacea, spider veins, birthmarks, reduce redness in scars). The Vbeam laser releases an intense gentle burst of light to target the red pigment in blood vessels. It can pass through both the epidermal and dermal layers of skin. Vbeam treatment results in clearer, more even toned skin. **We are also able to treat infants with port wine stains. (This treatment is provided by our Pediatric Dermatologist, Dr. Sabra Leitenberger)
Fraxel
Fraxel is a non-ablative resurfacing laser treatment that uses fractional laser technology to improve the appearance of skin concerns. It is great at helping improve tone, texture, and photoaging damage. Including wrinkles, age spots, scars, and sun damage. Fraxel works by creating microscopic thermal damage to the skin thereby stimulation collagen production and the bodies natural healing. It can be adjusted to treat different depths of the skin allowing the provider and patient to create a customized treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser effectively and safely removes hair by targeting the hair follicle, which causes the hair to fall out and minimizes future growth. Our Candela laser has two wavelengths which allows our Certified Medical Aestheticians to perform laser hair removal on all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Vessel/Solar Lentigines
Nd: YAG our GentleMax Pro laser can target both vessels (broken capillaries and spider veins) and solar lentigines (age or sun spots) due to its duo wavelength.
Micro Needling
We use an FDA approved micro needling pen called SkinPen. SkinPen is an FDA approved micro needling device that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production resulting in healthier, radiant skin. This treatment can target multiple skin concerns including skin texture, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and overall skin health.
Vampire Facial
Vampire facial combines PRP-platelet rich plasma (rich in growth factors and proteins) with a Micro Needling treatment. It is spun in a specialized centrifuge with top-of-the-line training and processing to get the best plasma possible. The application of PRP with micro needling promotes skin cell regeneration by encouraging the growth of new skin cells, resulting in smoother, softer, glowing skin. It also helps with fine line and wrinkles, scars including postpartum scars as well as acne.
