Introduction to Sciton BBL Hero
Achieving a healthier complexion with Sciton BBL Hero in Philadelphia is now within your reach. This powerful device can address skin issues caused by sun damage and aging. If you want to rejuvenate your skin, innovative intense pulsed light (IPL) technology can bring out your youthful glow.
What Is Sciton BBL Hero?
The Sciton BBL Hero is the world’s most powerful IPL device. BBL stands for Broad Band Light, and Hero is an acronym for High Energy Rapid Output. The Hero component is the latest revolutionary technology from Sciton and is added to the BBL handpiece. This allows it to deliver results quickly and efficiently on any part of the body.
This device is used for eliminating sun and age spots, blemishes, acne scars, and deeper lesions. It can also be used for removing unwanted hair in different areas of the body. It delivers light energy uniformly and with precision for quicker treatment times and better results. It can treat skin problems on the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs.


What Is the Difference Between IPL and BBL?
IPL uses a single focused beam of intense light. BBL is a more advanced form of IPL therapy and uses multiple wavelengths of light to target skin problems. The broad capabilities of BBL allow it to treat a wider variety of skin types than IPL. BBL’s relative safety and efficacy set it apart from other forms of light therapy.
