BBL treatment uses gentle pulses of light energy to reduce pigmentation, smooth uneven skin tone, and stimulate collagen for a youthful, glowing complexion. At Spa26, our expert team is dedicated to providing a comfortable experience while helping you achieve radiant results.
BroadBand Light (BBL) Pigment Reduction is an innovative light therapy treatment that helps you maintain youthful and vibrant skin. Suppose your skin tone and texture are not as even or smooth as you’d like. In that case, you owe it to yourself to explore this exciting, new, non-invasive opportunity in skincare.
BroadBand Light treats skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, pigmentation, or broken blood vessels. It can help to minimize the appearance of sun damage, age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. You can expect to see visible improvement in skin health within a few days to a couple of weeks after your first BBL treatment. Schedule your consultation to discover how this gentle yet effective light-based therapy can help you achieve your most luminous skin.
Most treatments last just 30 minutes with minimal discomfort
Brighter, more even skin tone in days to weeks after your first BBL treatment
Redness fades within days; most patients resume daily life right away
Improves age spots, rosacea, fine lines, and vascular lesions
Ongoing BBL therapy stimulates collagen and elastin for healthier skin
This gentle skin treatment uses the natural warmth and radiance of light to reduce, and sometimes eliminate, dark spots – also known as hyperpigmentation – caused by aging and prolonged sun exposure. Unlike creams and lotions that only work on the skin’s surface, this healing light penetrates deep into your skin, stimulating cell regeneration.
The BBL device uses broad-spectrum photothermal energy (light energy). The upper layers of the skin absorb the heat and energy from the device while pigmented skin cells degrade, and superficial blood vessels in the area are closed off. This light therapy safely and effectively helps to diminish visible signs of aging while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production.
BroadBand Light Pigment Reduction is a safe and straightforward procedure. Here’s what you can expect.

Broadband light therapy is ideal for treating skin concerns related to pigment and vascular changes, including:
Along with pigment reduction, you can expect an improvement in the general radiance of your skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after your treatment. If you struggle with rosacea, you can expect a BroadBand Light treatment to reduce redness. It’ll also kill the bacteria beneath the skin that causes acne.
Some other benefits include:
BroadBand Light can treat various skin concerns virtually anywhere on the body. Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and shoulders, where sun damage and pigmentation often appear most. Many patients also choose to treat the back for clearer, more even skin.
The versatility of BBL therapy means that whether you’re concerned with dark spots on the face or broken capillaries on the chest, the same technology can deliver consistent, visible results.
BroadBand Light Pigment Reduction is a valuable preventative measure for younger patients and a refreshing option for those in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. Ideal candidates for the treatment are coping with dark spots, broken facial vessels, or other forms of abnormal pigmentation. The ideal candidate is also committed to using sun protection every day.
You’ll begin noticing results within days of your first BBL treatment, with improvements continuing for several weeks as new collagen production strengthens the skin. Pigmentation fades, redness softens, and overall tone becomes more even.
To achieve your desired results, multiple treatments (typically four to six) may be recommended, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months. With sun protection and ongoing care, results can last for years, keeping your complexion vibrant and youthful.
BroadBand Light Pigment Reduction is an affordable option for many individuals determined to improve their skin health while resisting visible signs of aging. Keep in mind that the cost and the number of treatments necessary will vary depending on your skin condition and desired results.
