Overview
What Is BroadBand Light™ Therapy?
BroadBand Light (BBL Laser Therapy) is a non-invasive light-based skin treatment that gently heats the skin’s upper layers to improve tone, texture, and overall appearance. The Sciton® BBL device uses customizable filters and energy levels to treat multiple skin concerns in a single session.
