BBL is light-based and commonly used for pigment and redness. A consultation determines whether one or both fit your concerns. How much downtime should I expect?+ Downtime depends on the technology and treatment intensity. Some light-based treatments have limited recovery, while fractional resurfacing can involve several days of redness, swelling, bronzing, or flaking. How many treatments will I need?+ The number depends on your starting point, treatment depth, and goals. Some patients choose a more intensive session; others prefer a staged series with less downtime. Can laser treatments be performed on every skin tone?+ Device choice and settings must account for skin tone and pigment risk. An in-person assessment is necessary before recommending treatment. When should I avoid sun exposure?+ Consistent sun protection is important before and after laser treatment. The practice will provide timing instructions based on your procedure and recent sun exposure. Related Services ## Continue exploring.
