BBL Photofacials in Lone Tree, CO
If sun damage, brown spots, redness, or uneven tone are affecting your confidence, BBL Photofacials offer a powerful, corrective approach to visibly clearer skin. Our experienced team uses advanced Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to target pigmentation and vascular concerns, delivering noticeable correction over a series of treatments.
What Is a BBL Photofacial?
BBL (BroadBand Light) Photofacials use intense pulsed light to target melanin and blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented cells and dilated vessels, causing them to break down naturally so your body can clear them away, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin. BBL Photofacials are designed as a corrective treatment, using higher energy levels with fewer passes to actively address visible sun damage, brown spots, redness, and broken capillaries.
BBL Photofacials vs. Forever Young BBL®
- BBL Photofacials (This Treatment)
Higher energy, fewer passes. Best for actively correcting visible sun damage, pigmentation, and redness. - Forever Young BBL®
Lower energy, multiple passes, paired with SkinTyte tightening. Best for long-term maintenance once your skin tone is even.
Who Benefits from BBL Photofacials
BBL Photofacials work best for patients with visible sun damage, pigmentation, or redness who want active correction rather than gradual maintenance.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Noticeable brown spots, sun spots, or freckles
- Redness, rosacea, or visible broken capillaries
- Uneven skin tone from years of sun exposure
We typically recommend a series of 3 BBL Photofacial treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart to correct existing damage. Once your skin tone is even, many patients transition to Forever Young BBL® for ongoing maintenance.

What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
Our team evaluates your skin and determines whether BBL Photofacials, Forever Young BBL®, or a combination approach best fits your goals.
Treatment
You’ll wear protective eyewear while the handpiece delivers precise pulses of light to targeted areas. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, followed by a cooling sensation. Treatment time ranges from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated.
Aftercare
Immediately after treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. Over the following days, targeted pigmentation will gradually darken and flake off, revealing clearer skin underneath. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using the skincare products we provide.
Results
Visible correction of targeted spots and redness typically appears within 1 to 2 weeks after each session, with cumulative improvement across your treatment series.

BBL Photofacials use higher energy with fewer passes to actively correct visible sun damage, pigmentation, and redness. Forever Young BBL® uses lower energy with multiple passes, paired with SkinTyte tightening, as a gentler maintenance treatment once your skin tone is even. Many patients start with a series of BBL Photofacials, then transition to Forever Young BBL® for upkeep.
Most patients begin with a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Your team will recommend a specific plan based on the severity of your sun damage or pigmentation during your consultation.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, with quick flashes of light followed by a cooling sensation. The advanced Sciton system includes cooling technology to maximize comfort.
You can typically apply makeup 24 hours after treatment, once any initial redness has subsided. We recommend gentle, mineral-based makeup and avoiding active ingredients for the first week.
Results from a completed series can last a year or more with proper sun protection. Many patients transition to periodic Forever Young BBL® treatments afterward to maintain their results and continue slowing visible aging.
BBL Photofacial pricing varies based on the treatment area and number of sessions needed. During your consultation, we'll provide detailed pricing and discuss financing options including CareCredit, Cherry, and PatientFi.
