What is the BBL HERO?
Broad Band Light (BBL) HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) from Scion is world renowned for its outstanding outcomes. It’s the undisputed industry leader in Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology. It’s like IPL but more powerful!
The BBL HERO is very effective in treating sun and environmental damage, including pigmented spots, freckles, irregularities, small blood vessels and capillaries. It’s also used to treat rosacea and has been scientifically proven to activate increased collagen and elastin production in the skin while thickening the dermis.
