About BBL
BBL Hero is a next-generation broadband laser and the most advanced type of IPL device currently available on the market. Minimally invasive, BBL (which stands for Broad Band Light) penetrates into the deeper layers of the dermis and works at several levels to target fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage.
In short, BBL turns on the genes that maintain younger-looking skin and stimulate the natural production of collagen.
BBL is so advanced that it does more than simply tackle the visible signs of ageing and sun-damaged skin - in fact, it genetically programmes skin to be younger.
The first virtually-painless laser experience, BBL tackles ageing and sun-related skin issues swiftly with clearly visible results!

How Does BBL Work?
It’s a relatively simple procedure and although there is no need for a topical anaesthetic, your therapist may apply a numbing agent for more sensitive areas. BBL uses lasers to gently heat the deeper layers of your skin - the heat waves are absorbed at the lower levels of the dermis where hyperpigmentation originates. You may feel a warm or quick snapping sensation as the light is absorbed by the skin.
BBL therapy also helps to stimulate collagen and other proteins responsible for skin’s elasticity. As you age, these cells no longer regenerate at the same rates, causing the skin to lose tightness and leaving the skin cells unable to repair themselves. Non-invasive treatments like BBL stimulate those cells, allowing them to regenerate once again and thus reversing the ageing process.
This process is safe and effective with no downtime other than a little redness post-treatment. Your treatment time will vary from a few minutes to at most 45 minutes depending on the area to be treated.

How Does PRP Work?Once the consultation and patient case study phase is concluded, a small amount of blood is taken and passed through a centrifuge system to separate the platelets and fibrin from the red blood cells – this concentrate, known as the matrix, is then injected into the areas to be treated. Note the plasma remains alive in the treated area for approximately 7 days but the activity of the stem cells in the plasma continues working for about 3 months.
-
Is PRP Therapy Safe?Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is the safest non-invasive procedure available in the market today because you are using cells from your own body therefore there can be no allergic reaction: • It’s the only treatment of this type that can be injected into the tear trough of the eye without fear of any adverse effects • No surgery/no anaesthetic • Completely safe and natural – no synthetic substances/no danger of allergic reactions or infections • Walk-in Walk-out procedure – minimal disruption to your life Above all, the treatment is virtually painless and patients can look forward to a fast recovery.
-
Where Can PRP Be Used?Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy can be used on the face, neck, hands and all over the body with excellent results: skin is re-plumped and rejuvenated; fine lines and wrinkles are reduced; skin contours are redefined to create a youthful, radiant bloom; skin is stimulated by the growth factors in the plasma to repair and rejuvenate itself. It is hugely successful in the treatment of areas such as: crow’s feet “crepey” eyelids acne scarring/scars in general wrinkles/fine lines around nose, lips, mouth sagging skin in the neck area stretch marks burned skin
-
What Does PRP Feel Like?Prior to treatment, the patient’s skin is numbed with a topical anaesthetic and plasma is then injected into the Upper Dermis – the patient may experience a sensation of tiny pin pricks but feedback from clients indicates that this sensation is not at all uncomfortable.
-
What After-Care Is Needed?Patient will experience slight swelling but this will usually disappear in 24 hours. In cases where patients are prone to bruising easily, slight bruising may be evident, but as with any other filler, this is easily covered with make-up.
-
How Long Will The Effects Of PRP Last?In cases where skin is not deeply wrinkled/badly scarred or burned, follow-up treatments are recommended on an annual basis. In the case of damaged or quite wrinkled skin, a follow-up treatment is advised for 3 months later and thereafter on an annual basis.
-
Who Is Not Suitable For PRP?Because you are using cells from your own body, there can be no allergic reaction, therefore PRP is suitable for most people however if you have any concerns or specific medical conditions, we will advise you during the pre-treatment consultation whether the procedure is safe for you or not. Following consultation, the patient is advised on dietary changes required to aid the process e.g. increase intake of Vitamin C and water, and avoidance of stimulants such as coffee, alcohol and cigarettes. Patients will experience much more effective and satisfactory results if they follow these guidelines.
-
Are There Any Side Effects?No unnatural substances are used, therefore there is no danger of adverse/allergic reactions because you are using your own cells.
