What it is

A photofacial treats what shows up as color in your skin, which means visible pigment and visible redness

A photofacial treats what shows up as color in the skin. The Sciton® platform is FDA-cleared for benign pigmented lesions such as dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, freckles and age spots, and for benign cutaneous vascular lesions including facial telangiectasias, the erythema of rosacea, angiomas and poikiloderma of Civatte. It is the option that addresses visible redness and small vessels as well as brown spots, which is what separates it from the other paths on the platform.

  • Cleared for benign pigmented lesions and sun spots
  • Cleared for visible redness, rosacea erythema and small vessels
  • Treats the full face, chest, neck or hands
  • Little to no downtime for most people
  • Often planned as a short series

BBL photofacial questions

What does a BBL photofacial actually treat?

Visible color: brown spots, freckles, uneven pigment, facial redness, the erythema of rosacea, small visible vessels and angiomas. If your main concern is texture, pores or fine lines, microneedling is the more appropriate route at Glow, because those are not cleared indications for the lasers we use.

Is BBL the same as IPL?

BBL is Sciton's BroadBand Light system. It works on the same broad principle as IPL but with tighter filtering and cooling control. Treatments are performed with the Sciton® platform, which is FDA-cleared for the indications listed above.

What does it feel like?

Most people describe a quick warm snap, often compared to a rubber band, with cooling at the handpiece. Brown spots typically darken over the following days and flake away; redness usually settles within hours to a day.

Can it be combined with MOXI?

Providers sometimes plan them together, since BBL addresses visible redness and vessels while MOXI is a fractional laser used for benign pigmented lesions. Whether a combination is appropriate is decided at an in-person assessment.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on how much pigment or redness is present and how your skin responds. Your provider will recommend a schedule after seeing your skin rather than promising a set number.

Is there anything that rules me out?

Recent sun exposure or a tan, some medications, and certain medical or pigment histories can make treatment inappropriate or require different settings. That is exactly what the consultation is for.

How do I finish booking?

Choose an available date and time, then complete the requested details and submit your booking. Selecting a time alone does not complete the reservation. Look for the confirmation before leaving the page.

What if the calendar is blank or I cannot find a time?

Open the calendar in a new tab and try again. If it still will not load, or the listed times do not work for you, call 843-903-0108 and the team can help.

Which service should I choose?

If you are unsure, start with the new guest assessment. The team will help you arrange a consultation and choose the right next step.

How can I change or cancel my appointment?

If your plans change, call 843-903-0108 as soon as possible. The team can help with changes and explain any policies that apply to your appointment.
