Pigmentation Treatment BBL
Pigmentation Treatment BBL
Remove pigmentation and freckles
Science & Technology
BBL targets melanin in pigmented lesions with specific wavelengths. The light energy is absorbed by melanin, causing the pigmented cells to fragment and rise to the surface, where they naturally flake off. This process is highly selective — the surrounding skin remains unaffected. BBL is also effective for melasma when combined with a comprehensive protocol.
