Our approach
What is BBL HERO?
At DGB Clinic, we use Sciton BBL HERO (BroadBand Light, High Energy Rapid Output) to treat dark spots on the body. This advanced pulsed-light technology can treat a range of skin concerns quickly and comfortably.
BBL HERO is broad-spectrum pulsed light, not a laser. Filters select the wavelengths used to target melanin in sun spots, age spots and post-inflammatory pigmentation. The treated pigment gradually clears as the skin renews.
Integrated cooling and HERO technology make it possible to treat larger areas efficiently, including the hands, décolleté, arms, shoulders, back and legs. It may be suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I to V.
Treatment time:
15 to 45 min, depending on the area
Downtime:
Mild redness and temporary darkening of spots for five to seven days. Return to daily activities right away.

Treatment goals
Reduce dark spots on the body
Sun spots, lentigines and age spots on the body result from melanin buildup associated with sun exposure, aging or hormonal changes. They are common on the hands, forearms, décolleté, shoulders and back.
The technique:
The clinician moves the BBL HERO handpiece over the treatment area. Light pulses are absorbed by pigment in the spots, which the body gradually clears. Controlled heat also stimulates collagen, supporting smoother, firmer-looking skin.
Benefits:
Targets sun spots and lentigines on the body.
Visible improvement may begin after one session.
Larger areas can be treated in one appointment.
Can improve skin texture and overall quality.
No surgery, anesthesia or social downtime.
Settings adjusted for skin type and pigmentation.
effects & longevity
Expected results
Immediate effect
Treated spots may temporarily darken before naturally flaking away. Initial improvement can appear after five to seven days, with fuller results developing over two to four weeks.
Evolution :
Results build throughout the treatment series. Each session can further even skin tone and improve texture, while collagen renewal helps the skin look smoother and brighter.
Duration:
Two to four sessions, three to four weeks apart, may be recommended. Daily SPF 50+ helps protect the results, while annual maintenance can help keep the skin tone even.
