Pigmentation.
Redness.
Sun damage.
BroadBand Light treatment for selected benign pigmented and vascular skin concerns, planned around individual assessment rather than a preset package.
A premium treatment should begin with judgement, not simply with access to a device.
Skin concerns,
not just a device.
BBL uses selected bands of light to address specific pigment and vascular targets. Suitability depends on the nature of the concern, skin type, recent sun exposure and other individual factors.
Pigmentation & sun damage
Selected brown pigmentation, freckles, age spots and visible changes associated with accumulated sun exposure.
Redness & visible vessels
Selected facial redness, diffuse vascular change and small visible vessels may be appropriate for BBL treatment.
Uneven skin tone
For suitable skin, BBL may form part of a plan to improve the appearance of mixed visible pigment and redness.

These photographs show individual outcomes after treatment. They do not represent a typical or guaranteed result. Treatment response varies according to the concern being treated, skin type, treatment parameters and other individual factors.
This corrective treatment addressed diffuse facial redness and uneven tone. A discrete red spot near the jawline was also treated as part of the same treatment plan.
Before-and-after photographs represent individual outcomes only and are not a guarantee of a particular result. They should not be taken as a prediction of the result another person will achieve.
Technology with range.
Treatment with judgement.
BBL stands for BroadBand Light and is a form of intense pulsed light. The system uses selected filters and treatment parameters for different benign pigmented and vascular targets. A cooled sapphire contact surface helps manage skin-surface temperature during treatment.
A calm, straightforward treatment journey.
We want you to understand what is being treated, what the treatment feels like, what may happen afterwards and what your next step should be.
Assessment
Your concern, skin type, sun exposure, relevant history and treatment suitability are reviewed. Jenna also uses the OBSERV 520x skin imaging system during consultation to help visualise and clarify surface and subsurface skin features relevant to treatment planning.
Treatment plan
Area, expected treatment course, parameters, pricing and aftercare are discussed before proceeding.
BBL treatment
Controlled pulses of light are delivered with cooling at the skin surface. Sensation varies between individuals.

Professional.
Personal.
Considered.
BBL skin treatments at Aria are led by Jenna, Dermal Therapist. During consultation, Jenna uses the OBSERV 520x skin imaging system to help clarify visible and underlying skin features before treatment recommendations are made. Recommendations are based on suitability, the nature of the concern and your individual skin assessment.
Not every brown spot, patch of redness or skin concern should automatically be treated with light. If BBL is not appropriate for the concern being assessed, we will discuss alternative next steps with you.
Know the plan before treatment.
Clear pricing helps you understand the treatment cost before booking. Your appointment begins with assessment to confirm whether BBL is appropriate for your skin and the concern being assessed.
Other current BBL HERO options include neck $499, décolletage $649 and body $850. Suitability and treatment area are confirmed before treatment.
Common questions.
Clear information should make it easier to decide whether a consultation is the right next step.
Is BBL a laser?
No. BBL stands for BroadBand Light. It is an intense pulsed light technology that uses selected bands of light according to the target being treated.
What does BBL feel like?
Sensation varies. People commonly describe brief warmth or a snapping sensation with individual pulses. The BBL handpiece includes active cooling at the treatment surface.
Is there downtime?
Some people continue normal daily activities after treatment, although temporary redness, warmth, swelling or darkening of treated pigmentation can occur. Recovery varies with the treatment area, settings and individual, and other adverse effects are possible.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single number that is appropriate for everyone. The recommendation depends on the concern, the starting skin condition and your treatment goals.
Can BBL treat pigmentation?
BBL can be used for selected pigment concerns. Pigmented lesions should be assessed first because not every lesion is appropriate for light treatment.
Can it help redness?
Selected vascular concerns and visible redness may be suitable for BBL. The pattern and cause of the redness are considered during assessment.
Who performs BBL at Aria?
BBL skin treatments at Aria are led by Jenna, Dermal Therapist, following consultation, OBSERV 520x skin imaging where appropriate, and individual treatment planning.
What should I do before treatment?
Avoiding significant sun exposure and tanning is important. At consultation, tell your therapist about medications, skin products, recent procedures and any relevant medical history so your suitability can be assessed.
Want to discuss whether BBL may be suitable?
Book a BBL consultation to have the concern assessed, discuss expected treatment course and aftercare, and determine whether BBL is an appropriate option.
