    OVERVIEW

    Managing broken capillaries & rosacea

    Broadband Light (BBL) and Capillary Concerns

    Broadband Light (BBL) is sometimes discussed in cosmetic practice for visible capillaries or redness on the skin. These changes can be linked to factors such as sun exposure, rosacea, or genetics. In consultation, a registered health practitioner will review your concerns, explain what is known about BBL, outline possible risks, and determine whether this option may be appropriate for you.

    What to Expect in a Consultation

    • Your practitioner will review your medical history and skin type.

    • If BBL is being considered, they will explain how the light energy works, what the recovery may involve, and the risks.

    • Responses vary between individuals, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

    Broadband Light (BBL) Cost

    Costs depend on the size and location of the area being considered. If deemed suitable for you, an estimate will be provided after your consultation.

    Are there any potential risks?

    All cosmetic medicine carries potential risks. A consultation with a registered health practitioner is required to determine whether an option may be suitable for you and to discuss risks specific to your situation.

    Possible Risks

    • Temporary redness or swelling at the site.

    • Skin sensitivity or irritation, particularly in people with sensitive skin.

    • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, which may be more likely in darker skin tones or after sun exposure.

    • Rarely, blistering or minor burns.

    Your practitioner will explain these risks in detail during your consultation and answer any questions.
