When Dermology first introduced BroadBand Light (BBL) to South Africa more than 12 years ago, we changed the way people thought about skin rejuvenation.
Since then, we’ve not just kept up with the technology – we’ve led the way.
From the first BBL device to the launch of BBL HERO and now BBL HEROic, we’ve evolved alongside the technology, continually refining our protocols, deepening our expertise, and delivering unmatched results for our patients.
A Quick Look at the BBL Timeline in South Africa – Dermology Style
1. The First Generation of BBL – The Beginning of a Skin Revolution
Dermology was the one of the first to bring BBL to South Africa, introducing our patients to this intense pulsed light-based technology designed to treat:
-
Pigmentation
-
Sun damage
-
Redness & vascular conditions
-
Acne & inflammation
This original BBL device set the standard for non-invasive, no-downtime rejuvenation. But at Dermology, we didn’t just offer the treatment – we customised protocols to target South African skin types, climate challenges, and lifestyle needs.
2. BBL HERO – High Energy Rapid Output
When BBL HERO launched globally, Dermology upgraded every one of our branches.
Why? Because HERO technology took results – and patient comfort – to a new level.
-
4x the speed of traditional BBL
-
3x the peak power for better results
-
2x the cooling for added comfort
-
Full-face and large-area treatments completed in minutes
With BBL HERO, we were able to treat the face, neck, chest, and body faster, with improved precision, and even better skin outcomes.
3. BBL HEROic – Exclusive to Dermology Sandton
Today, Dermology is the only clinic in Africa offering BBL HEROic, the latest advancement from Sciton.
BBL HEROic is not just a step forward – it’s a leap in:
-
Skin health science – clinically proven to reverse ageing markers in DNA (Stanford University, Dr Patrick Bitter)
-
Treatment intelligence – improved energy delivery for safer, more targeted results
-
Patient experience – smoother passes, enhanced comfort, and even greater visible improvements
The Technology Behind the Brilliance
BroadBand Light (BBL) works by delivering light energy into the skin, targeting specific chromophores (pigment, blood vessels) and stimulating your body’s natural ability to regenerate skin cells.
The result?
-
Reduction in pigmentation, sunspots, and redness
-
Smoother, clearer skin texture
-
Improved collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin
-
Decreased inflammation and improved skin health over time
With HERO and HEROic, that same science is delivered with more precision, more speed, and more power – all while improving comfort.
