In the IPL device market, BroadBand Light (BBL)™ distinguishes itself with its advanced technology. It sets new standards in treating skin conditions associated with aging, active life styles, and sun damage. BBL has the ability to provide dermal skin renewal, permanent hair removal, and the treatment of pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and acne conditions. 

BBL uses advanced IPL technology to produce younger-looking skin that’s firmer, and more even in tone and texture. With little recovery time and no surgery, BBL is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment for sun damage, anti-aging, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Clinical studies have proven that BBL treatments are a non-invasive option that achieves significant skin improvements. BBL uses broad-spectrum visible and infrared light to selectively heat layers of skin, getting rid of undesired pigmentation, redness and other unwanted blemishes.

Scition Forever Young BBL™ delivers a combination of flexibility, speed, comfort and efficiency for skin rejuvenation. The treatment can be personalised to fit your needs and it requires fewer treatments to achieve more visible and effective results than other IPL systems.

Our BBL (BroadBand Light Therapy) uses a medical-grade Sciton Forever Young BBL™ technology that is established by Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr over 12 years ago and has been reversing signs of aging ever since.

This technology is has been proven to alter aged skin cells to mimic young skin cells for skin transformation. As a result, regular treatments will not only treat signs of aging, but they will also restore healthier, younger skin.

What Skin Concerns Can It Help With?

Sun Damage

The sun’s rays are among the most harmful contributors to aging. Sun damage often leaves sun spots and fine lines on the skin, and significant sun exposure can also lead to skin cancer. The Forever Young BBL™ can effectively reduce skin damage caused by the sun.

Loss of Elasticity/Sagging

Your skin will eventually lose elasticity and begin to sag to some extent, no matter how well you take care of it. Forever Young BBL™ treatment boosts collagen levels in the skin to add plumpness and tighten the skin, resulting in smoothed out wrinkles and improved sagging.

Uneven Skin Tone

Uneven skin tone (e.g. discoloration and hyperpigmentation) often develops as you age, typically making you look older than you actually are. By removing discolouration and dark spots to balance out your skin tone, you are able to enjoy clearer skin.

SPIDER Veins

Over time, capillaries beneath the skin become raised and may even burst. Forever Young BBL™ treatment effectively gets rid of these damaged capillaries without harming the surrounding tissue.

advantages

What are the advantages of Forever Young BBL™ treatments?

 

Forever Young BBL™ treatments are perfect for the active, busy patient for whom time and appearance are important. With no time off from work or play, enjoy smooth, glowing skin with diminished fine lines and younger-looking skin.

With little to no down time, this advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy gives you the benefits of a medium-depth laser or chemical peel, or other types of resurfacing/skin rejuvenation procedure without the blisters, burns, and long recovery time. Such IPL-based treatments simultaneously deliver light in a spectrum of wavelengths. These different wavelengths have a combined effect on the skin, removing brown and red pigments in the skin to give a fairer, clearer complexion while also stimulating the production of collagen within the skin.

Forever Young BBL™ treatment diminishes or gets rid of age/liver spots, fine wrinkles (rhytids), facial flushing, redness, broken capillaries, telangiectasia (purple or blue veins on the face), hemangiomas (sacs of red, purple or blue blood vessels resembling a blister, aka strawberry hemangiomas), freckles and other signs of sun damage. Typically, our patients experience a 75 – 95% improvement in their existing skin condition. It is also the only proven therapy to help with redness and flushing associated with Rosacea. It also diminishes pore size and treats mild acne scars, giving you smoother, healthier skin.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About BBL Treatments

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IPL AND BBL TREATMENTS?

While both IPL (Intensed Pulsed Light) and BBL (Broadband Light) fall under the category of light therapy, they have distinct differences:

IPL employs bursts of light energy to address general skin concerns like enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.

In contrast, BBL utilizes a broader spectrum of light energy at higher intensity levels, specifically targeting common signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries (e.g., spider veins, blood vessels), and rosacea. It also offers effective control over acne conditions, including active acne and acne scars.

Moreover, BBL treatments have a notable ability to stimulate the production of new collagen in the skin. This collagen boost contributes to tightening lax or sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and firm appearance.

The Sciton Forever Young BBL™ treatment is suitable for individuals who are experiencing signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (e.g. sun spots or discolouration) skin laxity (or sagging skin), broken capillaries (e.g. spider veins), skin redness or rosacea, and even acne conditions.

Forever Young BBL™ is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment, which means it requires almost little to zero downtime to recover and patients can return to work as soon as the treatment is complete. Individuals may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated areas, but these usually resolve within a few hours.

You will likely see a noticeable improvement in your appearance after just one treatment. However, multiple Forever Young BBL™ treatments are recommended to ensure optimal results. The number of treatments needed will vary based on your skin type and how much damage needs to be corrected, but most patients receive between three and five treatments at four-week intervals.

Forever Young BBL™ produces satisfying results that can last anywhere between one and two years from just one single treatment. Patients who undergo regular procedures will see continuous age-defying results.

Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers
What is Restylane® Kysse

Dubbed as the gold standard of lip fillers, Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that’s designed specifically for our lips. Using XpresHAn™ Technology, it provides flexible movement and natural-looking volume while enhancing the texture and colour of the lips.

make an appointment
Benefits of Restylane Kesse

  • Luscious, plumped lips

  • Soft, natural-looking results

  • Smooths lip lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances the colour of your lips

  • Allows for flexible lip movements

  • More defined, volumized, and youthful lips

  • Longer-lasting results as compared to other lip fillers

  • Immediate results with zero downtime

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Are there any before and after photos of Restylane® Kysse results?

As dictated by Ministry of Health, we are not allowed to publish ‘before’ and ‘after’ images of aesthetic treatments. If you are interested in seeing the full before-and-after results please provide us with your name and email below, and we will send the images to your email address.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.

Acne

A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s to 30s. Adult-onset acne is also common, commencing in one’s 20s to 30s and dragging on well beyond that. Caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation, acne is a rather well understood medical condition. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too. Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to resurface those pesky scars later on.

Acne Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels consist of mild acids that, when applied to skin, promote controlled exfoliation of skin as well as inactivation of the sebaceous units responsible for breakouts.

Used as a complimentary form of treatment to existing topical therapy, chemical peels can quickly and effectively control most forms of acne.

3-5 sessions are typically required at 2 weekly intervals to bring acne under control, with subsequent sessions done every 4-6 weeks for maintenance.

Find out more about Chemical Peels

Carbon Peel

Using a specialised laser and a black carbon-based ink on the face, sebaceous glands can be targeted, bacteria killed, and mild exfoliation performed.

Sessions done at 2-4 weekly intervals can help keep acne bay while also helping to lighten any post-inflammatory pigmentation left by the acne and even reduce pore size.

 Find out more about Chemical Peels

AGNES

For the larger, stubborn and recurrent acne, the use of a highly selective probe to deliver high radio-frequency energy into the sebaceous unit effectively and permanently inactivates the gland.

This more permanent solution to acne allows for effective management of recurrent acne without having to resort to oral medication such as oral isotretinoin.

Tattoo Removal
Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Newer methods of treatment are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Existing therapies involve the use of nano-second Q-switched lasers, but treatments prove difficult with many requiring 2-3 years of repeated visits at 2-3 monthly intervals. Newer methods of treatment involve the use of newly developed pico-second lasers. These lasers, firing many times faster than conventional Q switched lasers, fracture pigments more effectively. In effect, treatments are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Here at The Aesthetic Studio, we employ the use of the Lutronic Picoplus Pico-second laser for optimal tattoo removal; with 4 wavelengths of light at your disposal, removal of tattoos of varying colour and complexity just got easier.

With a high energy output, a wide range of precisely controllable fluence output and four wavelengths of light for increased versatility, the Picoplus Pico-second laser is optimised for tattoo removal and pigment management. 

Depending on tattoo complexity, 5-10 sessions may be required at monthly intervals for optimal clearance.

Combination with ablative lasers may be advised to reduce post-laser blistering commonly associated with tattoo removal.
