BBL HEROic Photofacial in Seattle

Sun spots that multiplied, freckling that merged into patches, redness that never quite settles. BBL Photofacial on our Sciton BBL HEROic uses filtered broadband light to find the brown and the red in your skin and break it up, so tone looks clearer and more even across your face, neck and chest. ClearV for visible vessels and ClearSilk to warm and refine are optional add ins to your photofacial at no additional charge. Every BBL plan starts with a Skinthropology exam, so your filters and settings are chosen for your skin.

Who It Is For

How It Works

The Science

Why Sapien

  • Sun spots and freckling: Brown spots and freckles from years of sun on the face, neck and chest.

  • Redness: Flushing, diffuse redness and visible redness that lingers.

  • Uneven tone: Blotchy color and skin that looks dull.

  • Your schedule: You can plan around 3 to 7 days while brown spots darken and flake away.

  • Not for right now: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a tan, sunburn or recent self tanner, an active infection or cold sore in the area, or have taken isotretinoin recently. Your Skinthropology exam covers everything else.

  • Filtered broadband light: BBL HEROic delivers pulses of broadband light through filters chosen for your concern. Brown pigment and red vessels absorb the light and heat up, and your skin clears them.

  • Three lasers in one photofacial: Your BBL Photofacial can also include ClearV for visible vessels and ClearSilk for gentle warming and refining. Both are optional and at no additional charge.

  • Face, neck and chest: We treat all three, so your tone matches from your jaw to your chest.

  • Comfort Program: Topical numbing, cold air cooling during treatment, self administered nitrous oxide and a heated bed with pillowtop.

  • Post procedure: Your skin therapist builds your post procedure routine with you before you leave.

  • What you will see: Brown spots darken to look like fine coffee grounds, then flake off over about a week. Redness fades gradually over your series.

  • Skinthropology exam first: Required before every laser and light treatment at Sapien. We review your routine, goals, history and lifestyle, image your skin with VISIA, and build your treatment plan and home routine with you. The fee is credited toward anything you book or buy that same day.

  • Settings made for you: Your skin therapist chooses the filters, energy and passes for your skin tone and concern, and adjusts them session by session as your skin clears.

  • Expert advice over general advice: What your skin needs before and after a light treatment depends on your skin. Sapien guarantees its products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

BBL Photofacial is the place to start for sun spots, freckling, redness and uneven tone, and ClearV and ClearSilk can be added to it at no additional charge. BBL Acne Treatment uses targeted light plus a treatment facial for breakouts that keep coming back. ClearSilk also books on its own for glow, redness and pores with no downtime. ClearV targets vascular lesions and broken capillaries on the face and body. We choose together at your Skinthropology exam.

BBL, or BroadBand Light, is Sciton’s advanced form of intense pulsed light. Our BBL HEROic treats about four times faster than traditional IPL and cools your skin as it works, for a more comfortable session. For redness and visible vessels, your photofacial can also include ClearV, a laser made for vessels, and ClearSilk to warm and refine. Both are optional and at no additional charge.

Most clients describe a warm snap, like a rubber band, with each pulse. Every BBL Photofacial includes our Comfort Program: topical numbing, cold air cooling during treatment, self administered nitrous oxide and a heated bed with pillowtop.

Plan on 3 to 7 days. Brown spots darken and flake away and skin can look a little pink.

Most clients see clearer tone once the spots flake off after the first session. Results build across your series.

Most clients plan a series of 3 to 6 sessions, every 2 to 4 weeks. Your exact plan is set at your Skinthropology exam, which is required before BBL.

Light treatments read the color in your skin, so skin tone and any recent tan matter. We confirm the right treatment and settings for your skin at your Skinthropology exam. ClearSilk is suited to all skin types.

It is where every treatment plan at Sapien starts, and it is required before any laser or light treatment. We review your routine, goals, history and lifestyle, image your skin with VISIA, and build your plan and home routine with you. The fee is credited toward anything you book or buy that same day.

Your skin therapist builds your post procedure routine for you, and daily sun protection is part of it. Sapien guarantees its products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists.
