The Next Era of Pulsed Light Therapy
Both BBL HERO and BBL HEROic offer advanced pulsed light technology that effectively targets a broad spectrum of skin conditions anywhere on the body to enhance skin tone, texture, elasticity, and overall appearance. The treatment is a powerful minimal-to-no-downtime solution for sun damage, rosacea, redness, dullness, pigmented lesions, vascular issues, and other skin quality issues.
BBL HEROic’s novel technological innovations, such as Intelligent Control™ (IC™) software and Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™), facilitate faster and a more precise treatment option that boost comfort and deliver remarkable results for a wide range of skin conditions.
HOW IT WORKS
The BroadBand Light Therapy technology works to gently heat the upper layers of the skin. As light energy is absorbed, it stimulates skin cells to generate new collagen. This helps to restore the skin to a youthful state, safely, with virtually no downtime. Pigmentation issues associated with the skin, such as facial redness, sun/age spots, small facial vessels, and hyperpigmentation, will gradually fade away after 2-5 treatments. Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, arms, and hands.
The treatment itself will take between a few minutes and a half an hour. During the procedure, your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may feel a warm sensation as the light is absorbed into your skin, but this is generally not uncomfortable. A topical anesthetic is sometimes used to be able to perform more aggressive treatments comfortably.
Your Faces Medspa laser specialist will provide you with information and advice on how to care for your skin following your treatment. You might experience redness for the first few hours. You may also see an initial darkening of some treated areas. These areas will fade and flake off, revealing fresh, rejuvenated new skin beneath. After any BBL treatment, it is important to avoid direct sunlight until the treated areas are healed. You should be able to go back to work and your regular activities immediately.

The Advancements in BroadBand Light Therapy
Sciton continues to innovate and expand its BBL technology, which we have grown to love at
Givens MD | Faces Medspa. We are extremely grateful and excited to continue to bring on the newest and greatest technology to Dubuque, BBL HEROic, while still offering BBL HERO as a treatment option.
BroadBand Light (BBL)
Since 2004, Sciton has led the way with the development of proprietary BroadBand Light (BBL) photorejuvenation technology that effectively addresses not only pigmentation and vascular concerns but also acne, permanent hair reduction, skin firming, and improving the appearance of aging skin.
BBL® HERO™
In 2020, Sciton set a new benchmark with the launch of BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output). HERO represented a significant advancement in performance, enhanced cooling, peak power, and speed. It proved to be up to 9X faster than other IPL devices when considering fluences, spot sizes, and repetition rates, making it the fastest, safest, and most versatile pulsed light technology at that time.
BBL® HEROic™
In 2024, Sciton created the world’s first smart pulsed light device, BBL HEROic. Utilizing the same technology from BBL HERO, they added next-generation functionalities to HEROic for quicker, more comfortable, and more accurate results.

THE SOLUTION TO PAIN AND ANXIETY DURING TREATMENTS:
PRO-NOX
One of the biggest concerns our Dubuque patients have when considering some of the more advanced treatments like Moxi and dermal filler is pain management. This fear is understandable; the human brain is hardwired to experience anxiety at the prospect of pain. At Faces Medspa, we make every effort to keep our patients completely comfortable before, during, and after their procedures. Fortunately, we have a powerful tool at our disposal: an innovative sedation system called Pro-Nox that’s designed to minimize both anxiety and pain.
If you're interested in learning more about how Pro-Nox can be incorporated into your comfortable treatment, call Faces Medspa today.
MOXI LASER
The Moxi laser is a gentle yet effective treatment that targets uneven skin tone, fine lines, and sun damage, promoting a radiant and youthful complexion. When combined with BBL, it can enhance results by addressing deeper pigmentation and vascular concerns, creating a powerful duo for total skin rejuvenation.
HALO LASER
The Halo laser delivers deep resurfacing to improve skin texture, tone, and fine lines while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. Paired with BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy, it offers a comprehensive solution by addressing surface pigmentation and redness, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more rejuvenated.
