Achieve Brighter, Better Skin

What is BBL Hero & Halo?

BBL Hero and Halo are two of the latest and most effective laser technologies in aesthetics. BBL Hero is an advanced form of intense pulsed light called broad-band light. It’s a high-powered solution to pigmentation such as brown spots, sun damage, and freckles, helping brighten the skin and achieve a more even skin tone. Halo is a fractional laser that can stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Together, these technologies can provide a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

“The staff here is amazing! I called today with so many questions and had the pleasure of speaking with Eva. She was so refreshing to interact with! She had so much patience, throughly answered my questions and even told me about some promotions to help with the cost. Dr Rostami is so sweet and really is an artist with the work that she does. If you’re hesitant about trying fillers, she’s the woman you need to talk to! Thank you all, I can’t wait to return!”

Benefits of BBL Hero & Halo

The BBL Hero & Halo Procedure

Treatments typically take 30-60 minutes. First, your skin will be cleansed, and then the specialized handpiece will be applied to the treatment area. The platform emits two wavelengths to treat the surface of the skin and the lower layers more precisely, leading to more complete results. Afterward, you can go about the rest of your day.

What is the difference between BBL Hero and Halo treatments?

The main difference between BBL Hero and Halo treatments is the type of laser used. BBL Hero is a form of intense pulsed light (IPL) called Broadband Light, while Halo uses a fractional laser to stimulate collagen production. BBL Hero works to address brown spots, freckles, and sun damage, and Halo works well on fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and loose skin.

How long does a typical BBL Hero session last?

A BBL Hero treatment session takes about 30-60 minutes.

Are there any side effects or downtime associated with BBL Hero?

Some of the side effects associated with BBL Hero include redness and sensitivity that lasts a few days. You’ll want to avoid hot tubs, saunas, hot showers, and strenuous activities.

How many Halo treatments are usually needed to see results?

Patients typically only need 1-2 Halo treatments.

Can BBL Hero and Halo be combined in a treatment plan?

Absolutely! BBL Hero and Halo can be combined to simultaneously target different skin concerns.

What skin concerns can BBL Hero address?

BBL Hero can address sun damage, pigmentation issues, rosacea, sun spots, vascular lesions, and visible signs of aging.

How does Halo technology work to rejuvenate the skin?

The Halo technology uses ablative and non-ablative lasers to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. It removes the outermost layer of skin while also heating the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production.

Is BBL Hero suitable for all skin types?

The BBL Hero treatment can work on most skin types. Your provider will let you know during your consultation if BBL Hero is right for you.

What should I expect during and after a Halo treatment?

During your Halo treatment, you may feel a warming, prickly sensation, but that’s about it. Afterward, you may experience some redness, similar to a sunburn, but that will diminish as you heal. You will see results in one to two weeks after treatment.

How do I prepare for a BBL Hero or Halo treatment?

Before you have BBL Hero or Halo treatment, you’ll want to avoid tanning beds, sunless tanner, and excessive amounts of direct sunlight for about two weeks. You’ll also want to stay away from retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating agents for at least one week before your treatment.

BBL Hero & Halo Results

After treatment, you’ll likely have some minor redness and sensitivity, similar to sunburn. This typically lasts for a few days, and during this time, we recommend avoiding hot environments like hot tubs, saunas, or hot showers, as well as strenuous activity that could cause you to sweat. Make sure to keep your skin protected with sunscreen, too. You’ll begin to see your results emerge over the course of a few weeks, and subsequent treatments can boost your results. Our team will give you a detailed estimate of your treatment package during a consultation.
