Sun spots, redness, rejuvenation and dull skin: can they all be treated within the same journey?

After summer, or simply with the passing of time, skin can start to look less even: sun spots become more visible, some redness persists, and the face loses that glow that makes it look fresh, even without make up.

BBL® by Sciton has now arrived at Samsara Medical Center, an advanced high intensity pulsed light technology designed to improve various skin concerns in a targeted, personalised way.

What is BBL®?

BBL stands for BroadBand Light. It is not a traditional laser, but an advanced form of IPL that uses light pulses selected according to skin type and treatment goal.
The light targets the pigment in sun spots or the haemoglobin in small visible vessels, while respecting the surrounding tissue. The treatment can also support the skin's natural renewal process, gradually improving its appearance and overall quality.

What are the benefits?

BBL® may be indicated for:

- Sun spots and pigmentation irregularities;
- Diffuse redness and small visible capillaries;
- Dull or uneven skin tone;
- Skin with a less smooth, less radiant appearance;
- Certain protocols for active acne;
- Early signs of photoaging.

It can be used not only on the face, but also on the neck, décolletage, hands and other areas particularly exposed to the sun.

What does it feel like, during and after treatment?

The session is generally quick and well tolerated, also thanks to the integrated cooling system. During the pulse, a brief sensation of warmth may be felt.
Immediately afterwards, the skin may appear slightly red; when treating spots, these may temporarily darken before gradually fading. In most cases, it is possible to return to daily activities quickly, following the instructions provided carefully and using sun protection.

How many sessions are needed?

There is no single answer that fits everyone. In some cases, an improvement can be seen after just one session; in others, a short course of treatments is preferable. It depends on the type of concern, its extent, skin phototype and individual skin response.
For this reason, before treatment we carefully assess the skin and define parameters, timing and any possible combinations with other treatments. 

One technology, different protocols 

The real innovation does not lie simply in treating a single spot or area of redness. BBL® allows us to build personalised protocols that guide the skin towards a more even, luminous and fresh appearance, without altering its natural expressiveness.
The technology is the same, but the journey is always unique: it starts from the skin itself, from its needs, and from the result we aim to achieve together.
