We recommend the BBL Acne Clear for acne, rather than the BBL SkinTyte.

The BBL SkinTyte treatment uses broadband light technology to heat the dermal layer of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. The treatment entails applying a gel to the treatment area and using a handheld device to deliver pulses of light to the skin. The number of treatments needed depends on the individual’s skin concerns and goals, but typically 3-5 treatments are recommended for noticeable results.

If the BBL treatment is being used to treat acne on the face, special glasses or safety shields will be provided to protect your eyes. During the procedure, you may experience a mild sensation of heat from the laser or a slight snapping feeling, similar to that of a rubber band. However, the treatment is typically not considered painful. If the targeted areas are sensitive, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to reduce discomfort.

It is recommended to wait 2-4 weeks in between each BBL SkinTyte treatment to allow the skin to heal and for best results.

Pairing the BBL Acne Clear treatment with other treatments, such as chemical peels or Microneedling or Morpheus 8 can enhance the results and improve overall skin texture and tone. We also recommend an Exosome topical therapy or a PRP topical treatment post-procedure to optimize your body’s healing process.

The duration of the results achieved from BBL acne treatment may vary depending on different factors, such as genetics, stress levels, skincare routine, diet, and more, all of which contribute to breakouts. To address this, we create personalized treatment plans that cater to your unique needs and recommend touch-up treatments based on your individual acne condition. In general, BBL results can last for an extended period if the skin is well-maintained and protected from the sun. Therefore, proper skincare and sun protection are essential for maintaining long-lasting results.

After undergoing BBL treatment, recovery and aftercare are typically straightforward due to the gentle and non-invasive nature of the procedure. Some minor swelling and redness may occur on the treated area and surrounding skin for up to two days, but no significant downtime is required. Most clients can apply makeup immediately and resume their daily activities. However, it is recommended to avoid anti- inflammatory medication such as aspirin, strenuous exercise, contact sports, and alcohol.

Following a BBL treatment, it is crucial to take extra care to protect the skin from ultraviolet (UV) light, as it may become more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, it is advised to avoid sunbathing or tanning beds for one month following each BBL session. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is also recommended to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

The main difference between BBL SkinTyte and other BBL treatments, such as BBL Forever Young and BBL Acne Clear, is that BBL SkinTyte is focused on skin tightening and firming, while the other treatments target different skin concerns such as improving skin texture and reducing acne. However, all BBL treatments use broadband light technology and can be tailored to address individual skin concerns.
