Meet BBL^® HEROic^™, Sciton’s breakthrough pulsed light device featuring proprietary Intelligent Control (IC) and Skin Positioning System^™ (SPS^™) technology.

Dermology has been offering BBL since the very beginning of it’s existence. With over 11 years of experience using the ever evolving technology, we are confident that you will get the most out of your BBL at Dermology.

The Evolution of Sciton’s BroadBand Light^® (BBL^®) Technology

1990: Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology emerged in the mid-1990s, addressing pigmentation and vascular conditions.

2004: BroadBand Light (BBL)

• Dermology stared offering BBL treatments in 2013 at our very first branch in Sandton, South Africa.

Since 2004, Sciton has led the way with the development of proprietary BroadBand Light (BBL) photorejuvenation technology that effectively addresses not only pigmentation and vascular concerns but also acne, hair reduction, skin firming, and improving the appearance of aging skin.

2020: BBL^® HERO^™ (High Energy Rapid Output)

• Dermology upgraded to BBL HERO in 2021 in Sandton and branched out to various locations in South Africa, all offering BBL HERO.

In 2020, Sciton set a new benchmark with the launch of BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output). HERO represented a significant advancement in performance, enhanced cooling, peak power, and speed. It proved to be up to 9X faster than other IPL devices when considering fluences, spot sizes, and repetition rates, making it the fastest, safest, and most versatile pulsed light technology at that time.

2024: BBL HEROic (HERO with Intelligent Control) Next Generation with Smart Technology 

• Dermology upgraded to BBL HEROic in Sandton in 2024. The first and only BBL HEROic device in Africa.

The solution to performing optimal treatments was the creation of the world’s first smart pulsed light device, BBL HEROic, available on Sciton’s JOULE^® and mJOULE^™ platforms. Utilizing next-generation functionalities, HEROic ensures seamless treatment experiences and drives practice growth. This focus
on innovation promotes superior outcomes, elevates patient satisfaction, and fosters practice success.

What BBL does well:

• Creates smoother skin
• Creates healthier skin
• Creates better looking skin

Primarily BBL targets browns and reds in the skin, leaving the skin with an even skin tone and healthy glow.

Did you know:

BBL is backed by science! The popular Standford study, by Dr Patrick Bitter Jnr, proved that Broad Band Light reverses the ageing gene in our DNA, leaving the skin younger and smoother.

• Corrective: 3 – 5 Sessions 4 – 6 weeks apart
• Maintenance: After every season (4 times a year)

DOWNTIME after BBL HERO & HEROic is much less significant than traditional BBL or IPL. The more target (browns & reds) present, the darker the treated areas will appear post treatment. We have a much more faster and even clearing of Pigmentation post BBL HERO and HEROic.

Although swelling is completely normal, sometimes the extend can be unexpected. Swelling can be present on the face post treatment, especially in cases where the skin is more sensitive or has more vascular conditions present. Patients who have a history of hayfever or have thinner skin may also swell a bit more. If there are any fillers or botox in present, swelling may also present slightly more than usual.

We love clearing the skin top to toe, using our BBL HERO & HEROic devices. Popular areas our patients love to have treated involves:

• Face, Neck & Chest
• Back (Imagine those open back dresses!)
• Arms & Hands
• Legs

Our Popular BBL Protocols include:

• BBL Powerful Pulse
• BBL Corrective
• BBL Forever Body
• BBL Forever Clear
• BBL Forever Bare
• Skintyte

If you have not realized it yet, we absolutely LOVE our BBL devices, and even more when we combine this incredibly technology with 1 or more other devices/ingredients. This ensures that we are always one step ahead towards your skin goals.

We can’t wait to welcoming you to our Dermology Famiy!
