How Does Sciton BBL Work?

Sciton BBL is an advanced form of IPL, designed to improve skin complexion and slow the ageing process. The treatment involves a handpiece that comes into external contact with the skin, delivering thousands of wavelengths of light simultaneously. Your specialist at EdenMed Clinic will carefully select the appropriate settings to target and clear specific areas of concern, such as red or brown spots, while also stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance.

The Science Behind Sciton BBL

Research has shown that regular BBL treatments not only address pigmentation and redness, but also activate genes in skin cells associated with youthfulness. Studies conducted at Stanford University School of Medicine revealed that after three full-face BBL treatments, over 1000 genes in aged skin began to behave more like those in youthful skin. This rejuvenation at the genetic level results in a significant reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, while also enhancing collagen structure and reducing elastosis (abnormal elastin in the skin).

Forever Young Sciton BBL

Forever Young BBL is a term used to describe ongoing BBL treatments aimed at maintaining and preventing skin ageing. Once the skin has been corrected through an initial course of BBL treatments, regular maintenance sessions – typically two times a year – help keep the skin looking youthful, boosting collagen production and reducing the signs of ageing.

Who Can Benefit from Sciton BBL?

Sciton BBL is suitable for skin types 1 to 5, which includes a range of complexions from fair to darker skin tones, such as Asian and Indian skin. It is a safe and effective treatment for those with sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and other signs of ageing. Sciton BBL is also ideal for individuals in their late 20s and 30s who wish to maintain healthy skin and slow the ageing process.

Whether you have an uneven complexion due to sun damage or simply want to keep your skin looking its best, Sciton BBL is a treatment that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Preparing for Your Sciton BBL Treatment

Before your treatment, it is essential to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. On the day of your appointment, your skin should be free of make-up and any fake tan. We recommend discontinuing the use of retinoids about a week before your treatment. Sciton BBL treatments can be done all year round.

What to Expect After Sciton BBL Treatment

Following Sciton BBL, you may experience some redness, which typically subsides within a few hours. In some cases, swelling may occur, particularly around the eyes. Brown spots may darken before they begin to fade, and in rare instances, minor bruising can occur, lasting up to a week. It is important to stay out of the sun and use a high-factor sunscreen regularly after treatment.

Sciton BBL vs. Halo Laser
