Broad Band Light (BBL)
Sciton’s Joule BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL device on the market.
BBL’s innovative technology sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with ageing, active lifestyles, and sun damage. BBL has the ability to provide dermal renewal and the treatment of pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and acne. And recently, studies have shown that Forever Young BBL has the newly recognised benefit of delaying skin ageing.
BBL light energy allows the appropriate wavelength to be selected to precisely treat your skin concerns. BBL uses broad-spectrum visible and infrared light to selectively heat layers of skin, getting rid of undesired pigmentation, redness, and other unwanted conditions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin’s condition and your desired results.
The conditions treated with BBL include fine wrinkles, age spots, small facial veins (telangiectasia), rosacea, redness and flushing, freckles, brown spots, birthmarks, port wine stains, red spots (hemangiomas), enlarged pores, burn erythema, and hyperpigmentation.
Usually 3 to 5 treatments, 2 to 4 weeks apart, will be required to achieve desired results, depending on the severity of each person’s skin condition. This non-invasive, gentle procedure has virtually no downtime. In most cases, you will be able to return to everyday life, apply makeup, and resume most activities.
Your thorough free consultation will determine if you are a good candidate for BBL. A personalised treatment plan will be decided upon, taking into account the number and severity of skin conditions being treated, as well as skin type. Each session usually takes 20 to 60 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately afterwards.
What does the treatment involve?
The procedure is gentle, non-invasive, and safe. There should be minimal or no discomfort; however, this varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. An anaesthetic cream may be used to minimise any discomfort.
Before treatment, a cold gel is applied to the treatment area, and patients wear protective goggles. During treatment, the glass surface of the BBL handpiece gently slides across the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pulses across the treatment area. Patients often describe a slight stinging sensation, like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. Most individuals find this to be very tolerable.
After the treatment, you may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by a fading and flaking off at a later stage (10-14 days). Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine wrinkles and pores will be less noticeable, and sun spots or uneven pigmentation will fade. You will be sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. We recommend the use of Elizabeth Arden PRO cosmeceuticals to maintain your results and protect your skin from further sun and environmental damage. Sun tanning should be avoided for 1 month before and after each BBL session. A broad-spectrum sunblock with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide as the primary ingredients should be used on a daily basis.
Forever Young Photofacial in Hoppers Crossing
Men and women, young and old, can benefit from the long-lasting rejuvenating effects of the Forever Young treatment. Forever Young BBL from Sciton is a revolutionary treatment that sends light energy deep into the skin to boost the body’s natural ability to fight ageing.
Skin doesn’t just look younger; it’s genetically programmed to BE younger! Groundbreaking research performed at Stanford University shows that BBL influences gene expression and changes skin on a molecular level. Hundreds of genes that are known to be associated with younger skin were activated, while others associated with ageing were turned off. Gene expression is part of how your body creates new cells. Certain genes can express themselves (turn on or off) based on factors like ageing and other environmental components. As we age, the genes within our skin cells are programmed to express themselves differently than when we were younger. As we age, more genes associated with ageing are activated, and over time the structure and appearance of skin change.
BroadBand Light (BBL)™ is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It sets a new standard in treating skin conditions. Forever Young BBL reaches deep into the cell and activates certain genes associated with youth while turning off other genes tied to ageing. As a result, you create more of the kinds of proteins and other building blocks you had when you were younger, giving you beautiful, youthful skin. Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, backs of hands, décolletage, and shoulders.
This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities immediately. The number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient, and a personalised treatment plan will be based on your skin needs. You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions, you will see darkening of the treated area followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Your skin will feel smoother, pores will be less noticeable, and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade. Redness and broken blood vessels (capillaries) will be targeted and will dissipate. The appearance of lines and wrinkles will improve.

BBL SkinTyte Skin Tightening Treatment in Hoppers Crossing
Improve the appearance of sagging skin with a quick and comfortable treatment for ALL skin types.
SkinTyte™ uses infrared light to deeply heat skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. With this advanced technology, the treatment initiates the body’s natural healing process, which leads to a more youthful appearance—with no downtime and no need for topical anaesthesia. In fact, the treatment has been described as a warm, relaxing massage! It can be performed on any area of the body where an improvement in your skin firmness is desired. Popular areas include the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and arms.
How it works
SkinTyte™ is based on the principles of selective thermolysis and utilises pulsed light technology to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation, leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful cooling maintains the outer surface of your skin at a comfortable temperature before, during, and after each pulse, providing the patient a pleasant and safe procedure.
What to expect
The SkinTyte™ light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. A series of pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure the best results. The face and neck will typically be treated within 40 minutes.
You may experience some redness in the treated area immediately after treatment, and this should return to normal within minutes. The SkinTyte treatment is non-invasive with no downtime, and patients can resume regular activities immediately following treatment. Makeup can also be applied immediately after treatment.
The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate, noticeable skin firmness improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to 4 months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.
The number of treatments required will vary from patient to patient, and your personalised treatment plan will be based on the level of improvement desired.
