Correcting Sun Damage and Uneven Tone With Light

BBL HERO uses broadband light technology to target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage, revealing a more even, radiant complexion. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, our Skin Lounge team uses BBL HERO as a no-downtime option for patients who want visible improvement in skin tone without interrupting their daily routine. Interested in correcting sun damage and uneven tone? Schedule a consultation with our Skin Lounge team.

What Is BBL HERO?

BBL HERO, or BroadBand Light, is an advanced light-based treatment that targets pigmented and vascular concerns in the skin, including sun spots, redness, and broken capillaries. The treated pigment gradually rises to the skin's surface and flakes away naturally, while underlying redness fades as the treated vessels are absorbed by the body. BBL HERO represents a faster, more powerful version of broadband light technology, allowing for shorter treatment times without sacrificing effectiveness.

Are You a Good Candidate for BBL HERO?

You may be a good candidate for BBL HERO in Nashville if you're bothered by sun spots, uneven pigmentation, facial redness, or visible broken capillaries, and want a treatment that fits easily into your schedule. BBL HERO is best suited to concerns related to pigment and blood vessels rather than texture or fine lines.

Good candidates are in good general health with realistic expectations about the gradual nature of pigment and redness improvement. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin concerns to confirm BBL HERO is the right fit or recommend an alternative treatment if your concerns are better addressed elsewhere.

What BBL HERO Can Address

BBL HERO is particularly effective for concerns related to pigment and blood vessels in the skin.

  • Sun Spots - Targets and breaks down pigment caused by years of sun exposure.
  • Facial Redness - Reduces the appearance of overall redness across the cheeks and face.
  • Broken Capillaries - Targets visible blood vessels, particularly around the nose and cheeks.
  • Uneven Skin Tone - Creates a more consistent, radiant complexion overall.

First time coming to Nashville cosmetic surgery, and Addie did my lip flip & Botox and did an amazing job! I had never had a lip flip done before, but it was all painless, and she walked me through exactly what to expect.

What to Expect During Your BBL HERO Treatment

BBL HERO treatments are performed in-office and are notably quick, often taking as little as 15 to 20 minutes for a full-face treatment, thanks to the HERO platform's advanced speed. A cooling gel is applied to the skin, and most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling. Topical numbing is typically not needed given the treatment's tolerability. Our team will walk you through your specific treatment areas and expected results during your consultation.

Recovery and Results Following BBL HERO

BBL HERO requires no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Treated pigment may appear slightly darker for several days before flaking away naturally, and any redness typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Full results become visible as treated pigment clears and skin tone evens out over the following weeks. Many patients repeat treatments periodically, especially before high sun exposure seasons, to maintain their results. Our team will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin and goals.
