Treatments

Phototherapy treatments will also rise, albeit at a slower pace as these procedures have been offered for several years and many of the consumers interested in them have already been treated. Medical Insights predicts that through 2012, annual procedure volume for skin rejuvenation, acne reduction and hair removal will increase by 3.9%, 2.8% and 2.1%, respectively.

Every year, millions of patients visit the dermatologist office complaining of skin problems including fine lines and wrinkles, persistent red complexion, sun spots, acne scars, large pores and other blemishes.

— Derma Network
Thirty-two consecutive patients of Fitzpatrick skin types I-III underwent 1 to 7 treatments with intense pulsed light. Following treatment, 38% percent of patients had reduced redness, 75% noted reduced flushing and improved skin texture, and 64% noted fewer acne-form breakouts.

Phototherapy

Mechanism of Action

BBL BroadBand Light technology utilizes the power of pulsed light to deliver excellent phototherapy results. By selecting the appropriate wavelength or filter, the physician will be able to treat a broad range of skin conditions caused by skin aging and sun exposure.

The light energy delivered by the BBL gently heats the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates the skin cells to generate new collagen. This process helps restore the skin to its natural stage. In addition, the photothermal energy targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions.
