IPL/BBL (Broad Band Light) procedures are a non-invasive form of light therapy that have been growing more popular over the past years, using a range of light waves in order to change the expression of older and more damaged skin cells. This regenerative technique is an excellent option for individuals who are interested in younger looking skin but aren’t interested at in more invasive procedures, which often involve more extensive treatments and longer recovery periods. Here’s a look at the IPL/BBL procedures we offer at Boulder Plastic Surgery, the premiere plastic surgery clinic in the Denver area.
Forever Young
This procedure is designed for individuals who are interested in eliminating a variety of signs of aging. This BBL procedure utilizes dual light technology to deliver rapid, gentle bursts of energy to the underlying skin tissue. With rapid results in as few as one or two 15-30 minutes sessions, the Forever Young procedure can eliminate aging conditions such as age spots, rosacea, sun damage, hyper-pigmentation, enlarged pores, rough skin, scarring, and more.
Hair Reduction
BBL procedures can also help eliminate the need to pluck, shave, and wax hair from your body by getting to the source of the problem. This procedure heats and destroys hair follicles at their source while remaining minimally invasive. Prices range between $500-1760 for procedures to eliminate hair virtually anywhere on the body, including arms, bikini, back, chest, legs, lips, chin, and underarms. As a minimally invasive procedure, there’s virtually no down time for BBL hair reduction, though you should avoid sun exposure for a few weeks afterward.
Acne
This non-invasive procedure can dramatically reduce breakouts through the use of pulsed infrared light, which helps decrease the amount of oil being secreted by the skin. In addition, the energy from the light gets rid of redness and inflammation caused by acne. Procedures are recommended every four weeks.
Vascular
This series of IPL and BBL treatments is targeted at helping eliminate signs of Rosacea by destroying small, uneven, and discolored capillaries that show up on the chest, neck, and face. This minimally invasive procedure is able to clot, shrink, and virtually eliminate these spots without damaging the surrounding skin. There are a few diet, exercise, and environmental limitations for up to three days following the procedure. It is usually recommended that individuals schedule four treatments over a sixteen-week period, with prices ranging from around $90-330 per session.
Skin TYTE
This exciting new procedure uses pulsed broadband infrared light heat to make skin look tighter and feel firmer. Only 30-45 minutes long, this procedure includes no down time and is recommended over the course of three to six months.
