What Are the Benefits of BBL HERO? 

Faster Treatment Times

BBL HERO treatments have revolutionized the speed of delivery, being four times faster than preceding BBL technology. This means that patients spend less time in the treatment chair while still achieving outstanding results.

Greater Efficiency During Treatments

Equipped with power that’s three times more potent than its predecessors, BBL HERO advances skin rejuvenation to the next level. The enhanced efficiency ensures deeper penetration and more effective treatments, providing quicker, visible results.

Superior Versatility

One of the primary benefits of BBL HERO is its unmatched versatility. It’s equipped to address a wide range of skin concerns, from pigmentation issues to vascular lesions, all with a single device.

Increased Comfort

BBL HERO comes with enhanced cooling capabilities, ensuring that the treatment remains comfortable for the patient. The added cooling power minimizes any potential discomfort, making the process smoother and more bearable.

Fewer Treatment Sessions Needed

The efficacy of BBL HERO’s skin rejuvenation techniques means fewer sessions are required to achieve the desired outcome. Patients can now see transformative results in a reduced number of visits, saving both time and money.

Suitable for All Skin Types

The BBL HERO treatment has been designed keeping diversity in mind. Its calibrated settings and adaptive technology mean that it can be suitable for all skin types, offering everyone a chance at improved skin health and aesthetics with the right recommendations from their doctor.

BBL HERO vs. Other Skin Treatments

When it comes to rejuvenating your skin, it’s important to choose a treatment that aligns with your unique needs and goals. BBL HERO stands out for its speed, precision, and versatility, but how does it compare to other popular options?

BBL HERO vs. Traditional IPL

While both use light-based technology, BBL HERO is a more advanced and powerful version of traditional Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). It offers faster treatment times, deeper skin rejuvenation, and more consistent results. BBL HERO also includes advanced cooling technology, making it significantly more comfortable than older IPL devices.

BBL HERO vs. Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatments can be highly effective but often come with extended downtime, discomfort, and a higher risk of irritation. On the other hand, BBL HERO delivers noticeable improvements with little to no recovery time, making it an excellent choice for those who want results without interrupting their routine.

BBL HERO vs. Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates collagen production through tiny skin punctures and is ideal for texture issues and fine lines. However, using light energy rather than needles, BBL HERO addresses a broader range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, and acne. It’s also less invasive and typically more comfortable.

At Still Well Med Spa, our team will help you determine whether BBL HERO or another treatment is best for your skin. During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals, skin type, and lifestyle to create a plan that delivers visible, lasting results.

What to Expect During the Treatment

We want every patient at Still Well Med Spa to feel confident and informed before receiving BBL HERO. Here’s what you can expect before and during your session:

Before Your Appointment

To ensure the best results and minimize any risks, we recommend the following pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for at least two weeks before your appointment
• Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliating acids, or photosensitizing products three to five days before treatment
• Let us know about any medications, active breakouts, or skin conditions beforehand
• Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or SPF

During the Session

Your BBL HERO treatment will typically last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You’ll be provided with protective eyewear, and a cooling gel will be applied to your skin for comfort.

As the device is passed over the skin, you may feel a mild warming sensation or a light snapping feeling, often compared to a rubber band flick. The HERO’s advanced cooling technology makes discomfort minimal and well-tolerated by most patients.

Post-Treatment Care Instructions

After your BBL HERO session, you can expect a radiant glow and refreshed skin. While there’s minimal downtime, following the correct aftercare routine is essential for ensuring the best possible results.

Most patients experience mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment—both are completely normal and typically fade within a few hours. To support your skin’s healing process, we recommend the following post-treatment care:

• Apply SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure for several days to protect your skin and maintain results.
• Use gentle, hydrating skincare to nourish the skin while it heals. Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids unless directed by your provider.
• Skip hot showers, saunas, and vigorous workouts for 24 to 48 hours, as excess heat may irritate the treated area.

Your provider will offer personalized guidance tailored to your skin’s needs and treatment plan. By following these simple steps, you’ll help your skin heal beautifully and experience the full benefits of BBL HERO.

Results Timeline & Maintenance

One of the many benefits of BBL HERO is how quickly patients begin noticing skin improvements. While results can vary based on your individual concerns and treatment goals, here’s a general timeline to guide your expectations:

Initial Glow (One to Two Weeks)

Many patients notice a brighter, more even complexion just a few days after their first session. This initial glow indicates that your skin is responding well to treatment and beginning its rejuvenation process.

Full Results (Four to Six Weeks)

Deeper improvements—such as reduced pigmentation, diminished fine lines, and smoother skin texture—typically become more visible within four to six weeks. Depending on the severity of your concerns, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Maintenance & Follow-Up Treatments

For long-lasting results, most patients benefit from a series of three to four initial treatments spaced about three to four weeks apart. After that, we often recommend seasonal or annual maintenance sessions to preserve your skin’s clarity, tone, and youthful appearance.

We will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and maintenance schedule that aligns with your lifestyle and skincare goals.
