Sciton BBL Hero, also known as Broadband Light High Energy Rapid Output, is a light-based treatment developed by Sciton Inc, a US based manufacturer of aesthetic lasers and light-based devices. It rejuvenates and treats various skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, redness, and acne.
The Sciton BBL HERO delivers high-intensity, broad-spectrum light energy to the skin, which then stimulates the renewal of cells and targets specific light-absorbing molecules, namely haemoglobin and melanin. It also encourages the body’s natural collagen production. Additionally, Sciton BBL HERO has in-motion technology and a cooling system, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
Sciton BBL HERO delivers accurate and controlled pulses of light energy to the targeted area. The light energy is absorbed by specific targets in the skin, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation) or haemoglobin (responsible for vascular lesions), causing them to heat up and be destroyed or reabsorbed by the body.
Sciton BBL HERO’s cooling technology, CoolComfort, keeps the skin's surface cool and comfortable during treatment. This allows for higher energy levels to be used without damaging the surrounding skin. This, in turn, results in more effective treatment of skin concerns while minimising discomfort and the risk of side effects.
To summarise, Sciton BBL HERO works effectively in the following ways:
Within the Sciton BBL HERO system, there are various types of modes tailored to specific treatments; these include:
