Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™
Did you know that sun exposure accounts for up to 90% of visible skin aging over time? The good news is that your skin can regain its youthful glow with IPL photorejuvenation. At our medical spa in Saskatoon, our IPL with BBL treatments combine advanced medical technology with expert care to safely fade pigmentation, redness, and sun damage while stimulating collagen production for a smoother, more even complexion.
What Is Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (BroadBand Light) are both light-based treatments that target pigmentation, redness and sun damage beneath the skin's surface. While IPL delivers broad spectrum light to break up unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production, BBL takes this further with more precise wavelength control, allowing for more targeted treatment across a wider range of skin concerns. Together, they rejuvenate both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, reducing fine lines, minimizing redness, clearing acne and rosacea, and revealing a clearer, more even complexion.
How Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™ Works
Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™ delivers controlled pulses of broad spectrum light into the skin, converting to heat to break up pigmentation and stimulate collagen renewal deep beneath the surface.
