How Does BBL Treat Rosacea?

Broadband light therapy for rosacea works by delivering precise light energy to the skin, which:

• Targets and reduces visible blood vessels that cause persistent redness.
• Stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture.
• Minimizes flare-ups by addressing underlying inflammation.
• Reduces redness and discoloration for a more even skin tone.

This non-invasive treatment requires no downtime, making it an excellent option for individuals seeking effective BBL laser treatment for redness without disrupting their daily routine.

BBL vs. IPL for Rosacea: Which is Better?

You may wonder about whether to choose IPL or BBL for rosacea. While both use intense pulsed light, BBL is considered the more advanced option due to its:

• Higher precision in targeting redness and pigmentation.
• Customizable wavelengths for tailored treatment.
• More consistent results in reducing rosacea symptoms.

Many patients find BBL facials for rosacea to be a more comfortable and effective option than traditional IPL treatments. This reassurance can help you feel more at ease with the treatment process.

Is BBL Right for Your Rosacea?

Ideal candidates for intense pulsed light for rosacea include those who:

• Experience persistent redness or visible blood vessels.
• Want a non-invasive, no-downtime solution.
• Have light to medium skin tones (BBL may not be suitable for darker skin tones).
• Looking for a long-term improvement in their skin's appearance.

Dr. Sommerville will evaluate your skin to determine if BBL for broken blood vessels is the right option for you.
