BBL Laser
The power of light to renew and brighten skin
BBL (BroadBand Light) light therapy is a high-tech light pulse therapy based on the controlled use of broadband light. It is specially designed for even skin tone, treating pigmentation changes, reducing redness and preventing signs of agingBBL treatment is gentle yet effective and is suitable for both facial and body areas.
How does BBL work?
The device filters selected wavelengths from broadband light. wavelengths, which are precisely targeted melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (small blood vessels). When light energy is absorbed by the target tissue, it is converted to heat and initiates a controlled renewal process without damaging the skin surface:
pigment spots darken for a moment and fade away as the skin renews itself,
superficial blood vessels and redness are getting lighter,
in the dermis collagen production is activated, improving the skin's structure and elasticity.
Note: We use the term “BBL laser” on this page, but technically it is called broadband light therapy (IPL). The term is chosen for clarity.
What problems does BBL help with?
Sun-damaged skin & pigmentation: liver spots, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation.
Redness & couperose: superficial blood vessels, redness of the cheeks/snout.
Impurities and acne scars: support for sebum balance, soothing inflammation, post-acne scars (discoloration).
Signs of aging: fine lines, dullness, uneven texture; photorejuvenation.
Enlarged pores & oily skin: softening of pore visibility, smoothing of the skin surface.
Wavelengths & filters – examples
The exact settings are selected skin type, tone and goal Below are typical applications (by way of example):
approx. 420 nm (blue): Calming the acne bacterial load.
approx. 515–560 nm (green/yellow): superficial pigment changes, tone brightening.
approx. 560–590 nm (yellow/reddish): Superficial blood vessels, redness, couperose.
approx. 640–695 nm: photorejuvenation, fine lines/texture softening; also selectively hair treatment.
approx. 800 nm+: in certain configurations, deeper structures/hair treatment.
The choice is always made by a professional; the same visit can be customized with multiple filters.
Course of treatment

The best results are achieved with series treatment: 3–5 visits every 3–4 weeks, after which maintenance Every 2–3 months or seasonally.
