Sun-damaged and aging skin can leave people longing for a more youthful appearance. BBL (Broad Band Light) is the best technology to treat both conditions effectively. BBL is an advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, which is available at Alta Vista Dermatology in Highlands Ranch, CO.
We can use advanced Photofacial therapy to improve brown and red skin discoloration and skin texture, often reducing fine lines and the size of pores. It is the only effective treatment for improving redness and flushing from rosacea, which is often difficult to control with medications. Broken capillaries, spider veins, and red blood vessels on the face, chest, or neck can be treated with Photofacial therapy. We can also reduce sun spots, which are caused by excessive sun exposure. Photofacial therapy can be performed to remove unwanted hair safely and permanently.
We use the Sciton BBL system, which has an integrated cooling tip to ensure patient safety and comfort. For treatment, specific settings are selected to achieve optimal results. Light energy is delivered by the BBL, gently heating the upper layers of the skin. The heat is absorbed and coagulates tissue to variable depths. This process helps restore skin to its natural state. Photothermal energy can target and eliminate many of the fine vessels that cause redness and unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions.
We usually recommend three to five sessions in three-week intervals. There is minimal downtime, discomfort, or risk with Photofacial treatment. Patients can count on improvement in the treatment areas.
We also offer PhotoDynamic Skin Rejuvenation. The procedure involves combining BBL with Levulan to treat moderately to severely sun-damaged skin, moderate to severe acne, and pre-cancerous skin lesions. If patients have had these pre-cancerous lesions treated in the past, this treatment may be optimal.
If you are looking for a safe and effective treatment that can rejuvenate your appearance and improve your self-esteem, Photofacial therapy may be right for you. We recommend scheduling a consultation appointment to explore your candidacy for treatment. We will review your medical history and examine the areas of your body you wish to have treated.
