What is BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic is the most advanced pulsed light technology available today.
While BBL HEROic shares the same core technology with its predecessors—BBL® and BBL® HERO™—HEROic introduces revolutionary technological advancements, including Intelligent Control™ (IC™) software and the Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™). These innovations facilitate faster, more effective treatments, enhanced patient comfort, and exceptional results for every patient.
What happens during a BBL HEROic treatment?
During a BBL HEROic treatment, a clear gel is applied over the treatment areas to help your skin absorb light energy. As the treatment begins, you should feel minimal to no discomfort as your provider gently glides the handpiece over the skin.
Pulsed light improves your skin in two ways. Initially, it targets highly vascular and pigmented areas like visible blood vessels or sunspots, breaking them down for absorption by the body. Additionally, the generated heat acts within the collagen-rich areas, triggering the body's healing response and resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.
Is BBL HEROic painful?
A treatment with BBL HEROic is generally well-tolerated by most patients. It is commonly described as feeling like a quick snap on the skin, with the sensation fading swiftly as the handheld device pulses over the skin. Thanks to BBL HEROic’s CoolComfort™ technology, which cools the epidermis during the procedure, topical anesthesia is not necessary. After the treatment, it is normal for the skin to feel warm for about 30 to 60 minutes.
What is the downtime for a BBL HEROic treatment?
There is minimal-to-no downtime following treatment with BBL HEROic. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
Key points to remember, include:
Skin sensitivity: Your skin may feel sensitive, like a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 48 hours.
Healing process: You might notice temporary darkening of pigmented areas, along with some redness and swelling. These are part of the natural healing process where damaged cells are replaced by new ones, repairing your skin.
Post-treatment care: Follow your provider's advice, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect the skin, especially during the first 72 hours post-treatment. Depending on the skin's pre-existing condition, mild discomfort, dryness, or minor crusting may occur.
Skincare and makeup: You can typically resume using skincare products and makeup within 1-2 days post-treatment.
What areas of the body can BBL HEROic treat?
BBL HEROic can be performed anywhere on the face or body.
What results can I expect after a BBL HEROic treatment?
A week or two after a BBL HEROic treatment, your skin will appear more even, youthful, glowing, and smooth. Visible results can be seen in just 1 to 2 treatments, while optimal results are generally seen after completing a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your BBL HEROic sessions.
How many BBL HEROic treatments do I need?
Your provider will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific skin revitalization needs.
Typically, a series of three treatments, spaced approximately three weeks apart, is recommended. Once you have reached your goals, periodic maintenance treatments will help keep your skin healthy and glowing.
How long is a BBL HEROic treatment?
A BBL HEROic treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size and areas being treated.
Can I combine BBL HEROic with other treatments?
BBL HEROic is easily combined with other Sciton modalities, such as HALO® and MOXI™, for enhanced results and less downtime. It may also be combined with other minimally invasive procedures, such as injectable fillers or BOTOX®. During your consultation, your provider will create a plan to address your skin's unique needs

How does MOXI™ work?
Moxi delivers fractionated laser energy to create micro-coagulation zones which the body then repairs, replacing damaged cells with fresh new ones. Moxi is designed to provide tonal and textural improvements to your face with low downtime, resulting in skin renewal.
How comfortable is the MOXI™ treatment?
Depending on the level of treatment provided, most patients find the treatment well tolerated. Your practitioner may use cooling air and recommend numbing cream to help ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
How long does it take to see MOXI™ results?
Results vary depending on your treatment goals. For the day following your treatment, your skin may appear red and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called mendz where the laser was applied. As the micro zones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3-5, the mendz will slough off, revealing the renewed skin beneath.
What is the MOXI™ post care?
Because this is a non-ablative fractionated treatment, the post care regimen is simple. Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.
How many MOXI™ treatments will I need?
This will depend on your treatment goals and level of damage. Most patients receive 3-4 corrective treatments, then often will sign up for regular maintenance treatments throughout the year.
