About BBL HEROic®

What is BBL HEROic®?

BBL (BroadBand Light) HEROic® by Sciton uses gentle pulses of light to target brown spots, sun damage, redness and uneven tone. Light energy is absorbed by pigment and visible vessels, which then fade over the following days and weeks, revealing clearer, more even skin.

Research suggests regular BBL can do more than fade spots. A Stanford study found that after BBL treatments, the gene-expression pattern of aged skin shifted to more closely resemble that of younger skin (Journal of Investigative Dermatology). Results vary from person to person.

How it Works

Powered by BBL® HERO™ (High Energy Rapid Output), the world’s most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) device.

Treatments are incredibly quick, often taking under 30 minutes depending on the targeted area.

Features advanced cooling technology to keep your skin comfortable from start to finish.

Wavelengths are precisely tailored to address your specific skin concerns and goals.

The research

Does BBL really work for sun spots and redness?

Yes, and the science behind it runs deep. BBL HEROic is Sciton's BroadBand Light, and we consider it the gold standard of intense pulsed light (IPL), the light-based technology dermatologists use to clear sun spots and redness. In a 2025 review of 41 clinical trials, IPL treatments showed efficacy rates of 74.6–90% for sun spots (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology).

BBL takes that proven foundation further. Sciton calls BBL HERO “the world's most powerful IPL device,” with visible results in just 1–2 treatments where traditional IPL often needs 5–6 (Sciton). A Stanford pilot study found BBL shifted the gene activity of aged skin to look more like young skin (Journal of Investigative Dermatology), and the newest version, BBL HEROic, launched in 2024 with automated, precisely tracked pulse delivery for even results across the face and body (Sciton). That's why BBL is the IPL treatment we chose for Epiphany Clinic, and every treatment includes our SkinSmooth step.

Award-winning: BBL HERO was named one of NewBeauty's Best Innovations in 2021 (NewBeauty Beauty Choice Awards) and, together with MOXI, won a 2023 Good Housekeeping Beauty Award for Rejuvenating Pro Treatment (Good Housekeeping).

Candidates for
BBL HEROic®

  • Best for Medium to Light skin Tones
  • Little to no recent sun exposure or tan
  • All Ages: for early prevention or deep correction
  • No open wounds or active infections
  • Not breastfeeding or pregnant
  • Off light-sensitive medications (i.e. accutane, retinol, etc.)

Have a Tan? You Don’t Have to Wait!

If you have a fresh tan or recent sun exposure, you aren’t a candidate for BBL right now—but you don’t have to put your skin goals on hold! We offer world-class alternatives that are totally safe for all skin types and tanned skin, all year round:

  • MOXI® Laser: A gentle, “color-blind” laser that works beneath the surface to smooth texture, brighten your complexion, and fight the early signs of aging. Because it targets water in the skin instead of pigment, it’s completely safe even if you’ve been out in the sun

  • SkinTyte®: Uses comfortable infrared light to heat deep layers of your skin. This boosts collagen and firms up sagging skin without targeting your surface color at all.

Both treatments are incredibly effective, require little to no downtime, and are perfect for keeping your skin healthy and glowing all summer long.

have a question?

Quick answers to questions you may have

You can expect your skin to look a little flushed right after your session, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually fades within a few hours. If we are targeting sun damage, those freckles and age spots will initially darken (often resembling tiny coffee grounds) before naturally flaking off over the next few days. It’s a great sign that the treatment is working to reveal a brighter, more even complexion underneath!

Absolutely! One of the best things about BBL HEROic is the minimal downtime. You can comfortably resume your normal daily activities and go to work. If you have any lingering redness or darkening spots as your skin renews itself, you can safely apply makeup the very next day to cover it up.

Yes! Patients absolutely love the signature “BBL glow.” Within a couple of weeks, you will notice significantly clearer, smoother, and younger-looking skin. The advanced HEROic technology is incredibly effective at sweeping away years of sun damage, reducing redness, and beautifully revitalizing your skin’s overall tone and texture.

While you will likely see a beautiful improvement after just one session, we typically recommend an initial series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the most dramatic, long-lasting correction. Once we reach your skin goals, we can set you up with a simple maintenance plan to keep your complexion looking flawless year-round.
