It works by delivering pulses of high-intensity light energy to the skin, targeting specific skin imperfections and stimulating the body’s natural healing response. BBL can effectively treat conditions such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness, rosacea, acne, and hair where you don’t want it growing. It also promotes collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. BBL from Seattle Face & Skin with Dr. Bhrany or a member of our team is a versatile and non-invasive treatment option with minimal downtime that can be customized to meet the unique needs and goals of all our wonderful patients in the PNW.

What’s the first step?

The first step of BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment involves arranging a consultation with one of our physicians at Seattle Face & Skin, Dr. Amit Bhrany or Mariam Totonchy. During this session, they will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your skin, engaging in a detailed discussion to understand your unique concerns and aesthetic aspirations. Through this dialogue, they will ascertain if you are an ideal candidate for BBL therapy, ensuring that your expectations align with the potential outcomes of the procedure. Furthermore, they will provide you with an in-depth explanation of the BBL procedure. In a city that has paved the way for such innovation as Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, and Pearl Jam, BBL and light therapies similar to it are what you expect them to be from our office in Seattle—the absolute best.

What to expect on the day of BroadBand Light treatment

On the day of your Sciton BroadBand Light treatment in Seattle, we will share the excitement, as your procedure is our own. Before the treatment begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the intense light pulses used during the procedure. Our team will then administer the BBL therapy, carefully targeting the areas of concern. You may experience a mild sensation of warmth or snapping as the pulses of light are delivered to your skin, but any discomfort should be minimal and brief- especially since an advantage of Sciton BBL compared to other IPL therapies is that the treatment is very tolerable with no topical anesthetic required prior to the treatment. The duration of the treatment session will depend on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed. Once the BBL session is complete, you can immediately resume your normal activities, as there is typically no downtime associated with the procedure.

BroadBand Light recovery

After undergoing our BroadBand Light treatment in Seattle, you may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated areas, similar to a mild sunburn sensation. These effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours. You may notice some darkening of pigmented spots followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. You will be provided a post treatment instruction sheet that covers all the details of post-treatment recommendations, but one priority will be to avoid direct sun exposure after the treatment. Overall, there is virtually no downtime for BroadBand Light therapy. It is typically very well-tolerated by our patients, and in most cases allowing you to apply make up, return to work and resume your daily activities in Seattle almost immediately.

The Best Doctor

We are talking about the best doctor. Experienced surgeon whom you can trust 100%. The minute you walk into his operating room, you know that you are getting the best team of professionals in the world to work on you. Attention to detail is their priority. I would never want anybody else to operate on me.

I highly recommend Dr. Bhrany

I found Dr. Bhrany to be thorough, careful, and thoughtful. He is clearly concerned about what the patient’s expectations are and what he can provide in light of those expectations. Dr. Bhrany did exactly as I said I wanted, and the outcome is just what I wanted. Dr. Bhrany even met with me for an unscheduled post-surgery visit when I was initially concerned about something, and he met me at his office on a Saturday morning to address my concern (and all resolved just fine). I highly recommend Dr. Bhrany.
