BBL Photofacial

Younger-Looking Skin Made Easy

BBL™ (broadband light) photofacials is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that can provide luminous, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime. BBL photofacials stimulate new collagen production deep within the skin by delivering BBL light (similar to IPL/Intense Pulsed light) with minimal effect on surrounding skin.

BBL photofacials can help improve skin's overall appearance, diminishing age spots, sun-induced freckles, redness, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins and much more.

Without downtime, BBL photofacials can help improve:

  • Age spots

  • Sunspots

  • Sun damage

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Redness

  • Rosacea

  • Facial capillaries

Commonly used on the face, neck, and décolleté, photofacials are non-invasive, require little to no downtime, and typically reveal optimal benefits 7 to 14 days following treatment. BBL photofacials are an excellent choice for sun-exposed Texans.

Forever Young BBL™ Photofacials in Abilene, Texas

Depending on your needs, BBL photofacials use different wavelengths, or filters, to target specific concerns. For example, a red BBL filter reduces redness while a brown filter diminishes age spots and freckles. Perhaps the most well-known BBL filter is Forever Young BBL™, a unique wavelength and treatment protocol that is clinically proven to produce more youthful skin cells. Studies show that repeated Forever Young BBL photofacials over the long term can help to dramatically improve the appearance of skin, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin’s elasticity, firmness, radiance, and much more.

  • After receiving the BBL photofacial, many patients report skin that looks significantly more clear and youthful, without the potential risks and recovery associated with certain surgical options. BBL photofacial laser technology is ideal for treating sun damage, age spots, brown spots, excessive redness, and pigmentation. If you undergo periodic treatments with Forever Young BBL, clinical studies show that you can expect to enjoy dramatically younger-looking skin over the long term.

  • A full face treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes, although time varies depending upon the area being treated. Forever Young BBL usually takes 30 minutes or longer.

  • Typically, patients can see pigmentation improvements almost immediately. However, four to six treatments at intervals is usually suggested in order to receive optimal results. Forever Young BBL treatments provide immediate benefits that improve with long-term use, in the years following regular treatments.

  • There may be a slight reddening of the skin, which resolves for most clients in just 20 to 30 minutes. Unwanted pigment (i.e., freckles, sun spots) may darken before gradually fading over the following 2 weeks.

  • There are some skin types for which the photofacial is not effective. Please request a complimentary consultation to learn more.

Halo Laser Skin Renewal

Halo™ fractional laser skin resurfacing can revitalize and refresh your appearance by renewing skin from deep within. Halo at Hendrick Plastic Surgery & MedSpa is unique because it’s the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, which means it simultaneously treats the skin’s surface and deeper layers for intense skin rejuvenation without the downtime of similar skin resurfacing treatments.

Halo can improve skin texture, tone, and radiance by diminishing:

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and creases

  • Age spots

  • Scars

  • Pore size

  • Hyperpigmentation and discoloration

  • Sun damage

  • Halo uses safe and efficient laser technology to treat the surface and deeper layers of skin for intensive skin renewal. Halo targets a “fraction” of the skin, leaving a perfect balance of treated and untreated skin to promote a rapid healing time and shorter downtime than similar laser treatments while revealing impressive results.

  • To ensure your comfort, we will apply a numbing agent to your skin prior to your treatment. Immediately following your Halo session, your skin will be red and feel sunburned for a few hours. As your skin renews over the first week following treatment, your skin will peel and flake as it reveals luminous new skin.

  • As your skin regenerates, it will gradually peel and flake off. Optimal results begin to appear three months after your Halo, with continued improvement as your skin produces new collagen. Applying daily UV sunscreen is a must for maintaining your results.

  • Downtime varies from person to person depending on the intensity of your treatment. Details of pre- and post-care will be discussed during your consultation.
