What are the Benefits of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments?

What is BBL?

BBL (or BroadBand Light) is a treatment that is designed to improve the texture and color of your skin without the need for surgery. Using state-of-the-art machinery and light energy, the treatment can be tailored to target pigment, blood vessels or hair to get rid of unwanted lesions.

This type of light treatment is different from lasers, as it sends out multiple wavelengths of pulsating light – making it a great solution for those wanting to rejuvenate their skin or treat a particular skin condition. A treatment that is offered here at The Vascular Experts Florida, there is minimal to no downtime associated with it – meaning that you can return to your daily routine after the treatment is complete.

Each treatment will take between 15 minutes and an hour depending on the patient’s unique requirements and the size of the area. Upon your initial consultation, Dr. Lina Vargas and her team will discuss which areas you want to focus on as well as how many additional treatments you will need.

Although it can be a very effective treatment that gives you definitive improvements within a few days, you may require up to 6 treatments to achieve your desired results.

It is typically recommended that you wait between 2-4 weeks between each treatment to allow the skin to heal properly. It is important to realize that it may take several weeks before any significant changes can be noticed.

Great customer services,very good,attentive Doctor has the time to listen and explain the process with kindness and concern.Thank you Dr Vagas for seeing me.

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Vargas and the staff. They were welcoming and gave thorough explanations of diagnosis and treatments. Plus, they answered any questions and didn't make me feel like they're rushing to leave the room. Amanda was instrumental in working things out with my insurance company so that my procedures were covered. They're very nice and professional. All of them.

Excellent experience! Great staff. Dr. Vargas has very impressive credentials and is by far the most caring and compassionate physician I have ever encountered; you feel better just knowing she truly cares about you. I just wish she were in primary care.
