When it comes to achieving clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, BroadBand Light (BBL) by Sciton stands out as one of the most advanced light-based treatments available. At Aesthetic Center of Excellence (ACE), we’re proud to offer BBL treatments performed by our expert team, which includes four Oklahoma Sciton Luminaries — a distinction that highlights our commitment to excellence and advanced aesthetic care.
What is BroadBand Light (BBL) Sciton Laser?
BBL is an advanced form of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy that uses high-intensity light energy to target various skin concerns. Unlike traditional IPL treatments, Sciton’s BBL delivers more controlled and customizable energy levels, leading to more effective and longer-lasting results. The treatment works by stimulating collagen production and addressing pigmentation irregularities, resulting in healthier, more youthful skin.
At ACE, our skilled providers, including four Sciton Luminaries, use the latest Sciton technology to deliver superior results tailored to your unique skin concerns.
Who is a Good Candidate for BBL?
BBL is a versatile treatment that can benefit a wide range of skin types and concerns. Ideal candidates typically include individuals who are looking to improve:
- Sun damage and age spots
- Hyperpigmentation and freckles
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Acne and acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
BBL works best on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III), as darker skin tones may have a higher risk of pigmentation issues. A consultation with one of our qualified providers at Aesthetic Center of Excellence will help determine if BBL is the right choice for your skin concerns.

- Non-Invasive and Quick: BBL treatments at ACE are non-invasive, with sessions typically lasting 30-45 minutes depending on the treatment area.
- Minimal Downtime: One of the biggest advantages of BBL is the minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately post-treatment.
- Versatile Treatment Areas: BBL can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas prone to sun damage and aging.

- Long-Lasting Results: With proper skincare and maintenance treatments, the results from BBL can last for months, helping to maintain youthful, healthy skin.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: BBL doesn’t just treat surface issues; it also stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Potential Side Effects and Downtime
BBL is generally well-tolerated, but like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects and some considerations for downtime:
- Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after treatment and usually subside within a few hours to a day.
- Pigmentation Changes: Treated pigmented areas may darken initially and then flake off within 5-7 days, revealing clearer skin underneath.
- Sensitivity: The skin may feel sensitive or sunburned for a day or two post-treatment.
- Sun Protection: It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen like EltaMD to protect your skin during the healing process.
Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their normal routines the same day or shortly after treatment.
