BroadBand Light (BBL) is a foundational treatment for improving visible skin damage and supporting long-term skin health. Backed by extensive clinical research and developed by Sciton, BBL is a trusted light-based technology used to treat pigment, redness, sun damage, and early signs of aging.
BBL is an advanced light therapy that delivers controlled energy into the skin to target unwanted pigment and redness while stimulating collagen production at the cellular level.
Compared to traditional IPL, BBL offers greater precision, enhanced cooling, and customizable treatment settings, allowing providers to safely address multiple skin concerns with consistent results and minimal downtime.
BBL is commonly used to improve:
• Sun damage and brown spots
• Redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and small blood vessels.
• Uneven tone and texture
• Collagen loss and early aging changes
• Overall skin clarity and quality
Glow Medispa offers BBL at both locations using Sciton technology, with each system thoughtfully selected to support the most common treatment goals at that clinic. Traditional BBL is ideal for targeted concerns and ongoing skin maintenance, while BBL Heroic allows for efficient, full-body treatments, addressing aging skin, sun damage, and texture from head to toe.
BBL Heroic represents the latest advancement in BroadBand Light technology. It is engineered for higher performance, faster treatment times, and enhanced comfort.
Key characteristics of BBL Heroic include:
• Faster treatment speeds for efficient sessions
• Higher peak power for advanced correction
• Improved cooling for patient comfort
• Efficient treatment of larger surface areas
This system is well suited for patients seeking more intensive correction or treatment of larger areas beyond the face.
BBL Heroic in West Seattle is often recommended for:
• Stubborn or deeper pigmentation
• Significant sun damage
• Patients seeking faster, more aggressive correction
• Neck, chest, arms, hands, back, and legs
Our Kirkland location offers Sciton BBL optimized for precision, customization, and long-term skin health. This platform remains the gold standard for consistent tone correction, collagen stimulation, and preventative care.
Notable features include:

BBL in Kirkland is ideal for patients focused on maintaining skin clarity, preventing visible aging, and supporting ongoing skin health.
While IPL devices are widely available, BBL offers more advanced technology and clinical control. BBL uses calibrated wavelengths, enhanced cooling, and provider-directed customization, resulting in safer treatments and more predictable outcomes.
This distinction is why BBL remains a preferred option in medical aesthetic practices.
BBL treatments are typically well tolerated. Patients often describe the sensation as brief warmth with a snapping feeling. Integrated cooling helps improve comfort throughout the session.
After treatment:
• Mild redness or warmth may occur for several hours
• Pigmented spots may darken before naturally flaking off
• Most patients return to normal activities the same day
Your provider will outline a post-care plan based on your specific treatment.
The best way to determine whether BBL or photorejuvenation is right for your skin is through a consultation with one of our experienced providers. During your visit, we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs and location.
