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 Treatment for Acne in Hoppers Crossing
Get rid of active acne and reduce acne scars with the speed of light!
Forever Clear BBL™ is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne without creams or medicine. BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL device, delivering light energy deep into your skin to help treat acne, leaving you with clear, healthy, radiant skin. BBL is a highly effective treatment proven to help get acne under control and improve pigmented acne scarring.

Forever Clear BBL uses a unique three-step process not available on other IPLs. Not only does this procedure reduce stubborn active acne and lessen pigmented scars, but BBL energy targets pigments within the skin, like brown spots and redness, so it will also help to brighten and even out the skin, restoring pigmentation to its natural colours. No more red, puffy areas that keep you from feeling like your authentic, beautiful self.
If you suffer from mild to moderate inflammatory and pustular inflammatory acne vulgaris, it’s time to try BBL acne reduction treatment, BBL Forever Clear.

With little to no downtime, patients can return to normal activity immediately afterwards.
Smile Face & Body is proud to offer you the state-of-the-art LED light therapy using the market-leading, medically proven Omnilux Medical Revive™ and Omnilux Medical Plus™ light therapy.
Why Choose Omnilux™?
Unlike other light therapy devices on the market, Omnilux is based on over a decade of medical research and is manufactured in the UK. Omnilux machines are used extensively by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide. The efficacy and safety of Omnilux are very well documented in over 60 peer-reviewed publications. Omnilux™ delivers a totally natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation, which uses the body’s own natural processes to help counteract the effects of ageing. Unlike some anti-ageing treatments that work as a result of the body’s response to damage, Omnilux™ stimulates the natural processes to rejuvenate the skin. Omnilux™ uses a combination of pure, visible red and infrared light to stimulate the deeper skin tissue, leading to a softening of fine lines, improved skin tone, and super smooth skin. Omnilux™ light therapy is proven to stimulate cellular mechanisms responsible for tissue repair and regeneration.
What is Omnilux™ Combination Light Therapy?
OmniluxMedical™ is a medical device that utilises light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Using visible red LEDs and invisible infrared LEDs, Omnilux™ works with the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of ageing.
OmniluxMedical Revive™
Omnilux Revive™ (633 nm) system ensures that the right light dose is always delivered to the tissue, the right wavelength is always used to successfully activate the target cells, and the right intensity is always used to prevent inefficient tissue response. The adjustable LED panels mean that the whole treatment area can be bathed in pure red light to maximise treatment results.
As Omnilux Revive™ stimulates cellular activity, blood flow increases, having an anti-inflammatory property, which can help to treat hormonal acne and acne scarring and lead to greater tissue oxygenation and detoxification. Skin appears clearer with fewer fine lines, plumped up and hydrated.
Omnilux Medical Plus™
Omnilux Plus™ is based on a matrix of infrared LEDs that provide narrowband 830 nm light, which stimulates the deeper tissue, leading to a softening of fine lines and improved skin tone. It is used for the purpose of skin rejuvenation in combination with Omnilux Revive™ and also for wound healing. It is perfect for skin scarring, including acne, damaged skin, and after surgery. The different lights target specific cells that are responsible for the synthesis and repair of the skin’s supportive structures, leaving the skin fuller and tighter in appearance.

How does it work?
Omnilux™ light therapy works with the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of ageing. The different lights target specific cells, which are responsible for the synthesis and repair of the skin's supportive structure.
What will I see?
In an independent study, over 80% of subjects reported a softening of fine lines after treatment, and 75% reported improvement in skin softness and smoothness.
Is it safe?
The scientifically designed light source does not have harmful UVA or UVB. You will experience a feeling of relaxation and well-being during and after the treatment. The treatment is not painful; there are no injections involved, and there’s no patient downtime.
How long will the treatment take?
After your initial consultation and skin preparation, the light treatment is administered for 20 minutes for optimal results.
How long does it take to recover?
There is no need for recovery time, and if you wish, makeup can be reapplied immediately after treatment, and you can go back to your normal routine.
Will the results be seen straight away?
This depends on treatment options used. The initial effects you will see are a clearer, brighter, and smoother complexion. After the course of treatments has finished, you will still see an improvement in tone, clarity, and skin smoothness. You will also see softening of your fine lines and wrinkles.
How long will the results last?
This will vary according to skin type and lifestyle and whether you have combined Omnilux™ with other treatments. Unlike other treatments, where the effects are short-lived, Omnilux™ Combined Light Therapy stimulates natural cellular processes that rejuvenate and repair the skin. Thus, the results you see with Omnilux™ continue to improve for up to 4 to 6 months after the light treatment. Monthly follow-up treatments will further maintain your results.
Who is Omnilux™ light therapy suitable for?
This is a very effective treatment for both men and women of any age. It is noninvasive and easy to perform.
