    THE TREATMENT

    Remove broken capillaries without damaging your skin

    How Does Broadband Light Work?

    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.

    Recovery and Post-Treatment Care

    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.

    What to Expect During the Procedure

    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.

    What is rosacea?

    Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that increases the size of the capillaries on the face. The result is a red, flushed appearance.

    How long do results last?

    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.

    Can I have this treatment while pregnant?

    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.

    Are there any risks?

    While Broadband Light (BBL) treatment is generally considered safe, there are potential risks and side effects, including:

    • Temporary redness or swelling at the treatment site.
    • Skin sensitivity or irritation, particularly in individuals with very sensitive skin.
    • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, especially in darker skin tones or if post-treatment sun exposure is not avoided.
    • Rarely, blistering or minor burns may occur, particularly if the treatment settings are not tailored to your skin type.

    Your medical professional will assess your skin type and condition during the consultation to minimise risks.
