We all want healthy, glowing skin, but factors like aging, sun exposure, and stress can leave us with uneven pigmentation, dullness, or fine lines. Photo rejuvenation, also known as a photo facial or IPL, is a non-invasive solution to restore your skin’s natural radiance. Using Sciton’s BBL® (BroadBand Light) technology, this treatment effectively targets skin concerns like brown spots, sun damage, and broken blood vessels. After just one session, you’ll notice brighter, more even-toned skin!

WHAT IS BBL?

The photo rejuvenation treatment at Essence Of L Medi Spa uses the power of Sciton’s BBL (Broad Band Light) also known as IPL ( Intense Pulsed Light). Sciton’s BBL advanced technology utilizes a unique filter system which allows for a quick treatment with varying wavelengths to create noticeable results after your first treatment. The flexibility of this light based system allows your Sciton certified laser technician to customize each and every treatment to fit your current skin care goals, time schedule, and skin type.

Forever Young BBL™ is a revolutionary light therapy treatment designed to address skin concerns while slowing down the aging process at a molecular level. Powered by advanced BroadBand Light (BBL) technology, Forever Young BBL not only improves the appearance of the skin but also changes the behaviour of aging skin cells, helping them act more like youthful, healthy cells. Forever Young BBL is also unique in its ability to alter gene expression, helping aging skin cells behave like younger ones. This cellular-level change leads to long-lasting, visible improvements.
