Explore BroadBand Light for selected brown spots and visible redness, with your skin assessment guiding the settings and treatment plan.
BroadBand Light for selected brown spots and visible redness, with filters, cooling, sessions, and recovery tailored to your skin.
Clearer Skin, Fewer Spots
Why You'll Love It
A broadband light treatment that lifts brown spots, calms redness, and builds collagen.
Pigment Correction
Pigmented spots may darken and shed over the following one to two weeks. The extent of clearing varies with the type and depth of pigmentation.
Vascular Reduction
Light absorbed by hemoglobin can reduce selected visible vessels and redness. Rosacea may also require medical treatment and ongoing trigger management.
Collagen Production
Light energy stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen. Skin tone, texture, and firmness improve gradually over the months following treatment.
Visible in About a Week
Treated spots darken, then flake away over the following days.
What BBL Treats Best
BBL is most effective for these specific concerns. If your primary issue is something else, we’ll tell you and recommend a better-suited treatment.
Sun Damage & Age Spots
Cumulative sun exposure produces the brown spots, mottled pigmentation, and uneven tone known as photo-damage. BBL is one of the most effective treatments available for this concern. The light energy is absorbed by melanin in the damaged areas; spots typically darken within hours, then naturally exfoliate off the skin over the following 1–2 weeks. Visible improvement is usually seen after a single session, with significant clearing over a series of 1–3.
Rosacea & Facial Redness
Diffuse facial redness, flushing, and the visible blood vessels associated with rosacea respond very well to BBL. The light targets hemoglobin in the dilated vessels, causing them to collapse and reabsorb. While BBL doesn’t cure rosacea (a chronic condition), patients typically see significantly reduced redness and a calmer baseline complexion after a series of 2–3 sessions. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help keep redness controlled long-term.
Broken Capillaries & Spider Veins
BBL can reduce selected visible vessels on the cheeks and around the nose. Cooling helps protect the skin surface, but burns and pigment changes remain possible. The number of sessions depends on vessel size, location and response.
Uneven Tone & Texture
BBL may improve the appearance of uneven tone by addressing selected pigment and vascular concerns. Maintenance is individualized; treatment does not stop aging or replace daily sun protection.
Acne & Active Breakouts
Specific BBL filter settings target P. acnes, the bacteria that drive inflammatory breakouts. BBL can reduce active acne lesions, decrease inflammation, and help clear post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the brown marks left behind after breakouts heal). It’s often used as part of a broader acne protocol that includes topical treatments — your provider will guide you on the right approach for your specific acne pattern.
Fine Lines & Photo-Aging
BBL’s collagen stimulation softens fine lines and improves overall firmness gradually over months. It’s most effective on early photo-aging (mild texture, fine lines around the eyes, minor laxity). For deeper wrinkles or significant laxity, MOXI laser, HALO resurfacing, or RF microneedling produce more dramatic results — your provider may recommend one of those as a primary treatment with BBL as a complementary pigment/redness solution.

BBL® Photofacial Reviews
Selected Google reviews about BBL treatment at ELLEMES. Individual experiences are not a guarantee of results.
“Absolutely OBSESSED with this place! I had a BBL photofacial with Christian, and I'm not exaggerating when I say my skin looks as if I've aged backwards. I went in to address some sun spots, redness, and overall uneven tone (the fun aftermath of being a little too carefree with SPF in my 20s) — and after 2 treatments, my skin looks completely transformed! Despite wrangling a busy toddler & working a demanding job, it looks as if I've been drinking 8 gallons of water a day and getting 10 hours of sleep at night.”
“Lauren is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Looking to refresh my skin for my daughter's wedding this fall. We started with a hydrofacial and consultation about my goals. Determined that 3 sessions of combo BBL and Moxi would best achieve what I wanted. One week after my first session and everyone already notices my skin looking fresher and smoother. Very happy with the ELLEMES experience.”
“I've had such a great experience at Ellemes Med Spa! Lip filler with Thao and two sessions of BBL and Moxi with Lauren and every visit has been amazing. I always felt comfortable and never pressured. They take the time to explain exactly what they're doing, how the treatment works, and why it's beneficial.”
“Lauren is truly the best. I had a ton of hyperpigmentation from acne after going off birth control and she was so knowledgeable and understanding throughout the whole process. She definitely evaluated my skin as an individual and didn't just recommend a million different things to get money out of me. My main goals were scar removal and anti-aging and her individualized treatment with moxi+bbl got me exactly where I wanted to be. My skin has that glowy refreshed look and I have no lasting hyperpigmentation or fine lines.”
“I would recommend services with Christian to anyone! I have seen her for almost 2 years, she does fantastic work and is so great to chat with. She gives thoughtful recommendations (but without being pushy). I have no doubt the services I've done with her (microneedling and BBL/Moxi) has improved the quality of my skin. The spa itself feels cozy and parking is convenient (and can be validated!). I also love the option to schedule on Saturdays.”
