If you are looking for clearer, smoother skin, BBL® HEROic™ laser treatment in Portland can help. At Après Plastic Surgery, Dr. Aric Aghayan offers cutting-edge laser skin resurfacing sessions, ensuring your safety, consistent care, and exceptional results.
BBL® HEROic™ is the latest generation of Broadband-Light (BBL) therapy developed by Sciton. Unlike traditional IPL systems, it features Intelligent Control and a Skin Positioning System that monitors hand-piece movement across six axes to ensure uniform pulse delivery.
The system supports ultra-fast repetition rates, larger spot sizes, and enhanced cooling, enabling full-body treatments in far less time than with previous devices.
BBL® HEROic™ laser therapy uses multiple wavelength filters to target pigmentation, superficial vascular lesions, skin laxity, and uneven texture for Portland patients.
Its advanced cooling sapphire crystal and software-guided pulses allow us to treat all areas with precision, eliminating stripes and ensuring consistent coverage.
We prepare patients in Portland for their BBL® HEROic™ laser session by cleansing the treatment area and applying protective eyewear. The hand-piece is then applied across the skin in sweeping motions. You may feel a mild snap or warmth as pulses are delivered.
The intelligent system adjusts for curvature and movement in real time, for fine-tuned energy delivery. Large areas, such as the back, chest, arms, or legs, can often be completed in just 20-30 minutes, depending on your anatomy and the extent of treatment.
BBL® HEROic™ light therapy excels at improving the appearance of several skin conditions for both men and women in Portland. These include:
During your consultation, we will discuss your challenges and configure the filters and energy settings based on your specific concerns.
Compared to earlier versions of BBL®, the HEROic™ platform is faster, more powerful, and more precise. Studies and clinical reports suggest these laser treatments proceed at four times the speed, with higher peak power, and deeper penetration than previously. This improves our Portland patients’ comfort and results in minimal downtime after their BBL® HEROic™ laser session.
Immediately after BBL® HEROic™ laser treatment, patients in Portland may notice that their skin feels warm or slightly sunburned. This typically resolves within 30-60 minutes. The areas treated may temporarily darken, having a coffee-ground appearance. This will flake off over the next several days.
For best results, we recommend you avoid direct sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily for at least two weeks. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and skip active exfoliants for at least 48-72 hours to protect your skin. Ask us when you can begin using makeup again, as it depends on your skin type, area treated, and other factors.
To protect your results, you should continue to avoid sun exposure that results in tanning and follow the skincare regimen we recommend for your skin type.
Combining BBL® HEROic™ laser therapy with the MOXI® resurfacing laser allows us to address both surface-level and deeper skin concerns in a single treatment plan. MOXI® complements BBL® by delivering non-ablative fractional laser energy to refresh your skin texture, minimize early sun damage, and support cellular renewal. When used together, the technologies can improve your skin clarity, smoothness, and radiance with minimal downtime.
This combination approach may be suggested when you are seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation without more aggressive resurfacing procedures. Treatment suitability and outcomes depend on our assessment of your skin type and goals.
