If you’re looking to refresh your skin and tackle concerns like pigmentation, redness, or fine lines, you’ve likely come across treatments like BBL HERO. But now there’s a new option on the scene, BBL HEROic, an upgraded version that takes skin rejuvenation to the next level. With enhanced technology and greater precision, this treatment is making waves, especially at TFP Spa Newstead, where we’re the first in Queensland to offer it. So, what exactly makes BBL HEROic different, and why might it be the right choice for you?
What is BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic is an advanced skin treatment that uses BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to address a variety of skin concerns. This latest version comes with cutting-edge enhancements that allow for more precise treatments, faster results, and improved comfort. The Intelligent Control (IC) system incorporated into BBL HEROic ensures that the device adjusts seamlessly to different skin types and areas, making the treatment more effective across the face and body. It’s designed to tackle common issues like pigmentation, redness, acne, and fine lines while promoting collagen production, helping you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin. At TFP Spa Newstead, we’re excited to be the first in Queensland to bring you this innovative technology.
What is the difference between BBL HERO and BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic builds on the success of BBL Hero by offering more advanced technology. One of the key differences is the intelligent control system (IC), which adjusts automatically for different skin types and treatment areas, reducing the risk of uneven results. The autodynamic pulsing and spatial tracking features make the process faster and more customisable, ensuring precise results with minimal discomfort. Compared to BBL Hero, HEROic offers an upgraded experience with enhanced safety and comfort, making it ideal for treating large or delicate areas.
What skin conditions can BBL HEROic treat?
BBL HEROic is highly effective for treating a broad range of skin concerns. Like BBL Hero, it can address common issues such as pigmentation, vascular lesions, acne, and signs of ageing. However, BBL HEROic stands out for its precision, particularly when treating more specific conditions like telangiectasia (spider veins) and poikiloderma (uneven skin tone). Its customisable nature allows for targeted treatments, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance with a safe, efficient option.
How should I prepare for a BBL HEROic treatment?
To get the best results from your BBL HEROic treatment, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for at least a week beforehand. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to help protect your skin, and avoid tanning beds or self-tanning products during this time. About a week before your appointment, stop using retinol, exfoliants, or any strong skincare products that could increase skin sensitivity. On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or oils. This will ensure the treatment works effectively. If you’re taking any medications or have skin sensitivities, let your dermal technician know so they can adjust the treatment if needed.
What can I expect during a BBL HEROic session?
A BBL HEROic session is generally quick and comfortable. Most sessions last around 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You’ll lie back while your dermal technician applies a cooling gel to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. The BBL HEROic device will then be passed over your skin, delivering light energy to target pigmentation, redness, or other concerns. You may feel a warm sensation or mild tingling as the light is absorbed, but the treatment is usually well tolerated.
Since BBL HEROic uses advanced cooling and pulsing technology, discomfort is minimal compared to traditional light therapies. After the session, your skin may be slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Many people can return to their regular activities right after treatment, with little to no downtime required.
How many treatments are needed with BBL HEROic for optimal results?
The number of BBL HEROic treatments needed depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. For most people, a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve the best results. This allows the skin to heal and regenerate between sessions while gradually improving pigmentation, redness, or other issues. After the initial series, maintenance treatments are often suggested once or twice a year to keep your skin looking its best.
Your dermal technician will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin’s condition and your desired outcomes.
What are the side effects of BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic is a non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. The most common reaction is temporary redness or warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours to a day. Some people may experience slight swelling or darkening of pigmentation spots as the skin begins to heal. These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days.
It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure after treatment to prevent irritation. Your dermal technician will provide aftercare instructions to help minimise any side effects and ensure your skin heals smoothly. Serious side effects are rare, but if you have any concerns, it’s always best to discuss them with your technician before treatment.
How long do the results of BBL HEROic last?
The results of BBL HEROic can be long-lasting, especially with proper maintenance. After your initial series of treatments, which typically includes 3 to 5 sessions, you can expect to see improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity for several months. For most people, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6 to 12 months to keep the skin looking fresh and to address new concerns that may arise, such as pigmentation or redness.
Factors like your skin type, age, and sun exposure habits can influence how long the results last. Using sunscreen daily and following your dermal technician’s post-treatment care instructions will help prolong the benefits of the treatment.
Can BBL HEROic be combined with other treatments?
Yes, BBL HEROic can be combined with other treatments to enhance results. It’s often used alongside treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing to target multiple skin concerns in one overall plan. For example, while BBL HEROic addresses pigmentation, redness, and collagen production, combining it with a treatment like microneedling can further improve skin texture and fine lines.
Your dermal technician can create a tailored treatment plan that includes BBL HEROic and complementary procedures, ensuring you achieve your skincare goals with minimal downtime. It’s important to discuss your options during your consultation to ensure treatments are spaced appropriately and work well together for the best results.
Is BBL HEROic safe for all skin types?
BBL HEROic is generally safe for a wide range of skin types, but individual suitability can depend on factors like your skin tone and specific skin concerns. The advanced technology behind BBL HEROic allows for adjustments that make it more adaptable for various skin types, including those with darker skin tones, which can sometimes be more prone to hyperpigmentation with light-based treatments. However, it’s always important to discuss your skin type and medical history with your dermal technician to ensure the treatment is customised to your needs.
A professional consultation will help determine whether BBL HEROic is the right choice for your skin type and ensure a safe and effective treatment experience.
