THE RESULTS
*Results will vary from patient to patient.

THE TREATMENT
Broadband Light (BBL) targets dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia), often visible on the surface of the skin. These vessels can result from sun exposure, rosacea, genetics, or other factors. The light energy emitted by the laser is absorbed by the blood in the vessels, which leads to clotting and eventual fading of the visible capillaries.
While the treatment aims to minimise the appearance of redness and capillaries, the results can vary among individuals. Multiple sessions, typically spaced one month apart, may be needed to achieve optimal results.
BBL is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. Most patients experience mild redness lasting 24–48 hours, during which makeup can be applied. Sunscreen with SPF and a tailored skincare routine are essential to maintain results and protect the treated skin. Avoiding direct sunlight and extreme environmental conditions post-treatment is also advised.
The treatment involves applying a cooling gel to the skin for comfort and to minimise superficial blistering. The laser pulses feel like small “snaps,” which most patients tolerate well without the need for anaesthesia.
In some cases, especially for larger capillaries around the nose, multiple treatments may be necessary. It is safer to perform additional sessions rather than risk overtreatment or scarring.
Your initial consultation and treatment can be arranged at one of the Cosmos Clinics in Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, or the Gold Coast.
Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that increases the size of the capillaries on the face. The result is a red, flushed appearance.
Results from BBL treatment can last several months to years, depending on the concern being treated and how well the skin is cared for afterwards. Maintenance sessions may be required to sustain improvements. Factors such as sun protection, skincare routines, and lifestyle choices will influence the longevity of results. Most patients benefit from annual maintenance treatments.
BBL treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. The safety of light-based therapies for pregnant individuals has not been established. It is best to wait until after pregnancy to pursue this treatment.
While Broadband Light (BBL) treatment is generally considered safe, there are potential risks and side effects, including:
Your medical professional will assess your skin type and condition during the consultation to minimise risks.
