What Is BBL Hero for Rosacea, Pigmentation and Acne?

BBL Hero is a broadband light treatment that targets the pigment and blood vessels sitting under the surface of your skin. It is often used for rosacea related redness, sun damage, brown spots and the marks left behind by acne.

Unlike a single spot treatment, BBL Hero works across the whole treatment area. This makes it a strong option if you are dealing with more than one skin concern at the same time, such as redness on the cheeks and pigmentation from years of sun exposure.
