Combining BBL HERO & HALO: The Knockout Duo in Pigmentation Removal
For years, doctors have had to choose between ablative or non-ablative lasers for effective skin treatment. While ablative fractional laser skin resurfacing significantly improves skin appearance by vaporizing aged tissue, it also involves considerable downtime. On the other hand, non-ablative fractional resurfacing offers quicker recovery but may fall short of patient and doctor expectations for dramatic results.
In 2014, Sciton revolutionized skin resurfacing by introducing the Halo™, the world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser. This innovative device at NassifMD Medical Spa delivers both non-ablative (1470 nm) and ablative (2940 nm) wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone. By doing so, it provides the impactful results of an ablative laser while significantly reducing downtime, which our patients greatly appreciate.
The Halo Effect
The Halo treatment is self-explanatory. It excels particularly in improving skin texture, dyschromia, and the UV signature, giving what is popularly known as the ‘Halo glow.’ Many of our patients at NassifMD Medical Spa in Manchester report receiving compliments from friends and family on how refreshed they look, a testament to the treatment’s effectiveness.
Combining Halo with BroadBand Light (BBL)™
We enhance the benefits of Halo at our Manchester MedSpa by pairing it with BroadBand Light (BBL)™ technology. This combination not only improves downtime associated with standalone BBL but also maximizes the unique properties of Halo, enhancing changes in texture, mid-range UV signature, and noticeably reducing fine wrinkles and pores. It’s suitable for nearly everyone—from patients with brown lesions benefiting from full-field BBL to those with fair skin who need erythema management post-Halo.
Additionally, BBL itself is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide variety of indications at our MediaCity location, including vascular lesions, acne, and pigmented lesions, with immediate results noticeable post-treatment.
Evidence of Efficacy
Amanda Richardson, a Sciton specialist at NassifMD Medical Spa, points to a compelling Stanford study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3547222/ that shows Sciton BBL treatments can alter the expression of genes associated with the aging process. The ‘Forever Young BBL™’ treatment protocol not only supports anti-aging efforts but also effectively reverses skin damage, providing our clients with a tool backed by solid clinical evidence.
The evidence is compelling. The Forever Young BBL™ treatment protocol supporting anti-ageing and the reversal of skin damage gives us the tool that no other company was able to provide with clinical evidence.”
The ‘Stanford Study’ was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. It states that Sciton BBL treatments can alter the expression of genes associated with the ageing process. These genes are manipulated to more closely resemble those of young skin. The study supports the hypothesis that regulators of ageing can be altered in human skin using BBL technology to provide a functional change, rather than a cosmetic, superficial change in appearance.
Furthermore, the study reveals the molecular changes that are promoted by Forever Young BBL for improving the appearance of acne, sun spots, freckles, pigmented lesions, and vascular conditions. Forever Young BBL treatments are requested by patients looking to attain a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Antonio Campo, founder of Campo-Optimage in Barcelona, also emphasizes the benefits of using Sciton technology. According to Dr. Campo, BBL achieves a satisfaction rate of over 95% for treating pigmentation, facial redness, and improving skin tone. When combined with Halo, the treatment effectively enhances skin texture, minimizes pore size, and generally brightens the complexion. This combination of treatments allows for impressive results after just one session, with minimal investment and virtually no downtime—a significant advantage for our busy clients.
