Frequently Asked Questions

What is BBL Hero? Can you explain how it works?

Many are familiar with IPL, which has been around since the mid 1990s. Well BBL Hero (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is the latest advancement in this technology. It uses light energy to target specific skin concerns, however is more powerful. It can effectively treat larger areas of the skin faster. At the same time, it includes a more advanced cooling mechanism than previous versions of BBL (or IPL), and hence, is quite comfortable for those receiving the treatment.

In terms of how it works, it delivers pulses of light energy to the skin. This has a number of effects, depending on the strength of the pulse (the BBL Hero has a range of strength settings). These pulses can stimulate collagen production, making for firmer, more plump and supple skin, as well as reducing acne-causing bacteria in the dermis, reducing or removing prominent veins under the skin, and breaking down pigmentation in the skin, making for a more even skin tone. There are other applications for the BBL Hero. For more information, see our bookings page which includes a run down of each BBL Hero treatment we offer, and its applications.
