BBL Laser Treatment

BBL treatments are generally very well tolerated, with most patients reporting only mild discomfort. We apply a topical anesthetic cream and a cooling gel before treatment begins, which helps reduce any potential sensitivity. You may feel a brief stinging or snapping sensation as the light pulses across your skin, but it’s over quickly and well-managed. Most patients describe the experience as far more comfortable than other light- or laser-based procedures.

The number of BBL treatments you’ll need depends on your skin type, the condition being treated, and your overall goals. It’s most beneficial for patients to have an initial series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Your provider may recommend more or fewer sessions based on how your skin responds. After your initial series, maintenance treatments a few times a year can help preserve your radiant, youthful glow.

Some patients begin to notice improvements in their skin tone and clarity within a few days of their first treatment. However, full results typically develop gradually over several weeks, as your skin produces new collagen and pigmentation fades. If you’re targeting redness, age spots, or broken capillaries, you’ll likely see noticeable changes after just one or two sessions.

Absolutely. BBL is a versatile treatment that pairs beautifully with other non-invasive options offered in Los Angeles. Many patients choose to combine BBL with treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, HALO laser, or dermal fillers to address multiple concerns in a single, comprehensive plan. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to create a curated combination approach that delivers enhanced, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

BBL is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment with a low risk of complications when performed by experienced professionals. However, all cosmetic procedures carry some potential side effects. With BBL, the most common include temporary redness, swelling, mild discomfort, and darkening of pigmented spots before they flake off. Rare complications may include blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation, especially if proper aftercare instructions aren’t followed. We take every precaution to minimize risks and will thoroughly review your skin type and medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate before proceeding.
