What Is BBL?
BBL, or BroadBand Light, is a Sciton device that delivers precise pulses of light energy into the skin.
That light energy is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels near the surface, breaking down sun spots, redness, and small facial veins, while the associated heat stimulates the deeper layers of skin to produce new collagen. It's one of the most established, widely used devices in aesthetics, known for treating a broad range of skin tone and texture concerns in a single platform.

Forever Young vs. Forever Clear Settings
The same BBL platform powers two distinct protocols at Albany, each using different wavelength and energy settings tuned to a specific goal. Both can treat the face or body, including the chest, back, arms, and hands.
Forever Young BBL
Calibrated to target pigmentation, redness, and the visible effects of sun damage, stimulating collagen for a brighter, more even-toned result.
Forever Clear BBL
Calibrated to target the bacteria and inflammation behind acne, using the same device technology to calm breakouts and support clearer skin.
Services Using BBL (BroadBand Light)
BBL is the technology behind Skin Rejuvenation, and it's also combined with MOXI or HALO as part of Laser Stacking for patients addressing multiple concerns in one visit. It supports several treated-area and concern pages across our site, including Forehead, Cheeks, Neck, Chest & Décolletage, Hands, Full Face, Uneven Skin Tone, Pigmentation, and Sun Damage.
BBL
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment uses intense pulsed light to target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage, stimulating collagen for brighter, more even-toned skin.
Laser Stacking (BBL + MOXI, BBL + HALO)
A combination treatment approach that pairs BBL with either MOXI or HALO in the same session, addressing pigmentation, texture, and tone together for more comprehensive results.

Safety and Guidelines
BBL is FDA-cleared and has a long, well-documented safety record when performed by trained providers. Your provider will evaluate your skin type and recent sun exposure before treatment, since active tanning increases the risk of complications. Protective eyewear is worn during treatment, and settings are calibrated to your specific skin tone to minimize risk of pigment changes.
