WHY BROADBAND LIGHT?

BroadBand Light (BBL) by Sciton is the most complete and versatile broadband light system in its class. Its broad range of wavelengths allow targeted treatment for many skin conditions but is ideal for preventative aging, pigment correction, rosacea, and anti-aging. BroadBand Light is a far more advanced treatment option than an older technology commonly known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Utilizing the power of pulsed light through a sapphire crystal, which glides across the skin comfortably rather than stamping an aggressive burst of light, makes BBL the most comfortable and effective light-based treatment available. We offer Corrective, Forever Clear, Forever Young, and Hero BroadBand Light treatment modalities. Additionally, our BBL HERO modality (High Energy Rapid Output) utilizes fast flashes of specific wavelengths to treat skin conditions such as pigment correction, sun damage, redness, and anti-aging on the hands, arms, legs, back, and chest. 

MSU Aesthetic & Laser Treatment Center performs thousands of BroadBand Light treatments per year and remains among the top performing practices by volume of treatments within the state of Michigan since opening in 2016. As a Sciton Distinguished Partner and Dual Joule Elite Provider, MSU Aesthetics & Laser Treatment Center has attained multiple recognition awards by SCITON, our primary device platform and leader in energy-based medical aesthetics.

HOW DOES BROADBAND LIGHT WORK?

BBL therapy utilizes pulsed light to deliver excellent cosmetic results. The treatment targets problem areas such as sun damage, acne, or blood vessels by selecting specific wavelengths of light. The light is safely administered through a cooled sapphire crystal, ensuring comfort during the procedure.

In a Stanford study recently published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, reveals that Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments can change the expression of genes associated with the aging process to more closely resemble young skin. The study supports the hypothesis that regulators of aging can be altered in human skin using BBL technology to provide a functional change, rather than just a cosmetic mimic of youthful appearance. BBL treatments promote the appearance of youthful skin. This study reveals that the appearance of younger skin may be due to the differences observed in gene expression patterns of aged skin becoming more like young skin. Treatments from the study were performed on the FDA-cleared Sciton Joule using the BBL module.
