Your Trusted Choice for BBL Treatment Near You

The Sciton Joule allows us to precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins and many other skin conditions. The Sciton is unique because it uses medical-grade Erbium technology, allowing for much higher precision and faster healing than standard IPL lasers. Its BBL HEROic and HALO platforms deliver results in fewer sessions.

Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results, but this laser works on a wide range of skin types.

Any area of your body can be treated with BBL. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.

The most popular Sciton treatments are to help correct pigmented lesions (e.g., freckles, age spots), vascular lesions (e.g., small blood vessels) and acne. It can also help restore firmness, improve uneven skin texture and reduce unwanted hair.

BBL technology has set a new standard for treating skin conditions associated with ageing, active lifestyles and sun damage and we are happy to be able to offer these treatments to our Wood MediSpa patients.

IPL, Joule, HERO, HEROic or HALO?

BBL is a more advanced version of IPL therapy: BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL device on the market.

Sciton Joule X
The Sciton Joule is the device that delivers HALO and HERO/HEROic treatments. When choosing between Sciton BBL HERO and Sciton HALO, it is essential to understand that they utilise fundamentally different technologies to address distinct skin concerns.

BBL HERO
Sciton BBL HERO is an advanced light-based therapy that uses BroadBand Light (BBL) to target surface-level issues. It is primarily designed to treat pigmentation, such as sunspots and freckles, as well as vascular concerns like redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries. The HERO technology stands for High Energy Rapid Output, which allows for faster treatment times and more uniform results across larger areas of the body. Because it is a non-ablative light therapy, BBL HERO typically involves minimal to no downtime, making it a popular choice for regular skin maintenance and a quick refresh without a lengthy recovery period.

BBL HEROic
BBL HEROic is the next-generation, upgraded version of BBL HERO, offering 4x faster treatment times, higher peak power, and superior, intelligent, real-time cooling. While both treat skin pigmentation and vascular lesions, HEROic uses advanced, automated technology for greater, safer precision and improved patient comfort during full-body, rapid-speed skin rejuvenation sessions.

BBL HALO
In contrast, Sciton HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, meaning it simultaneously delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same treatment zone. This unique dual-wavelength approach allows HALO to address deeper skin concerns that light therapy cannot reach. While the ablative wavelength targets surface texture and pore size, the non-ablative wavelength penetrates deeper into the dermis to stimulate collagen production and address fine lines, wrinkles, and deep-seated sun damage. Because HALO is a more intensive resurfacing treatment, patients should expect a longer recovery window, typically involving three to seven days of redness, swelling, and mild peeling as the skin heals and reveals the famous HALO glow.

Choosing the right option depends on your specific goals and lifestyle, and your clinician can advise on this.

If your primary concern is evening out your skin tone and removing brown or red discoloration with zero downtime, BBL HERO is likely the ideal starting point.

If you are looking for dramatic improvements in skin texture, pore size, and deeper signs of ageing, HALO provides more transformative results in fewer sessions.

It is possible to combine both treatments in a single session to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation across all layers of the skin, with BBL HERO clearing surface pigment while HALO rebuilds the skin’s structural integrity from within.

The Sciton is an exceptional tool for enhancing and maintaining your skin, and while the options may seem extensive, navigating them is simple with the right guidance.

What else can the Sciton Joule offer?

If that wasn’t enough choice, we are also able to offer Erbium and Profractional treatments with our Sciton Joule.

Erbium

Sciton Erbium TRL (Tuneable Resurfacing Laser) is an advanced laser technology used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. The TRL laser uses a precise beam of energy to remove the outer layer of skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin.

The Sciton Erbium TRL can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture. The laser can be customized to treat specific areas of the skin, making it a highly targeted treatment option.

One of the benefits of Sciton Erbium TRL is that it can achieve significant results with minimal downtime compared to other laser treatments. Patients may experience redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days to a week.

Another benefit of Sciton Erbium TRL is that it is safe and effective for all skin types and colours. The laser can be adjusted to accommodate different skin types and concerns, allowing for a more personalized treatment approach.

However, as with any laser treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. These may include skin irritation, blistering, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation. It’s important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your dermatologist before undergoing Sciton Erbium TRL treatment.

Profractional

Sciton Erbium ProFractional is a type of laser skin resurfacing treatment that uses fractional laser technology to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin concerns. The treatment is based on the principle of fractional photothermolysis, which creates microscopic channels in the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

During the Sciton Erbium ProFractional treatment, a laser beam is used to create thousands of tiny holes in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows for a faster healing process and less downtime compared to traditional laser skin resurfacing. The laser energy also heats up the underlying tissue, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and tone.

One of the benefits of Sciton Erbium ProFractional is that it can be customized to treat specific skin concerns and can be adjusted based on the depth of treatment needed. This allows for a more targeted and personalized treatment approach.

Patients may experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days to a week. Full results may take several weeks to several months to appear as collagen production continues to improve the skin’s appearance. Sciton’s fractionated erbium laser is the ideal treatment for scar revision, deep resurfacing, and healthy skin maintenance.

ProFractional treats a portion of the skin at a time, resulting in new collagen production and a dramatic reduction in texture, fine lines, deep wrinkles, the appearance of scars, and pigmented lesions like sunspots, freckles, and actinic keratosis.

The treatment’s tuneable technology offers superficial to deep resurfacing for all skin types.

Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound healing response while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing.
