BBL HEROic
(Broad Band Light)
Brighten. Renew. Restore your natural glow.
As we age and spend time in the sun, our skin begins to show the story of our lives—freckles, sunspots, redness, and fine lines start to appear. Broad Band Light (BBL HEROic), also known as BBL HEROic photofacial or intense pulsed light therapy, helps rewrite that story by restoring your skin’s natural radiance.
At Radiance Wellness, we use gentle yet powerful light energy to target common skin concerns like sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation—all while stimulating collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.
Located in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego, just next to Hillcrest, Radiance Wellness offers a thoughtful approach to light treatments—helping you look refreshed, not overdone.

Broad Band Light (BBL HEROic) is an advanced form of light therapy that uses precise wavelengths of light energy to gently heat the skin and target specific pigmentation, vascular lesions, and other skin conditions caused by sun exposure and aging.
Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, BBL HEROic is non-ablative, meaning it doesn’t remove surface layers of skin. Instead, it delivers intense pulsed light below the surface to address freckles, sunspots, redness, and fine lines while encouraging new collagen and elastin formation.
This makes BBL HEROic an effective treatment for improving skin tone, skin texture, and the visible signs of aging—with little to no downtime. Whether you’re targeting hyperpigmentation, vascular lesions, or early sun damage, BBL HEROic works to restore clarity and brightness for a naturally radiant complexion.
Clinical studies have shown that Broad Band Light therapy can even help restore more youthful gene expression in aged skin, supporting long-term skin health and rejuvenation.¹

What to Expect During Your BBL HEROic Treatment
Your BBL HEROic treatment plan at Radiance Wellness begins with a personalized consultation. Our expert providers will assess your skin type, skin conditions, and overall goals to tailor the right number of treatment sessions for optimal results.
During the Treatment
During treatment, pulses of broadband light gently warm the skin. This light is absorbed by targeted lesions, pigmentation, or vascular concerns, encouraging your body’s natural healing process and stimulating new collagen production.
The procedure is quick and comfortable—most clients describe only minimal discomfort—and because BBL HEROic is non-ablative, there’s minimal downtime. You can return to your daily routine right away (just don’t forget your sunscreen).
BBL HEROic Aftercare & Results
Results can often be seen after the first follow-up appointment, with continued improvement over time as collagen production increases. For best results, avoid tanning or direct sun exposure, and maintain your glow with professional skincare and consistent sunscreen use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a BBL HEROic treatment painful?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort during their BBL HEROic photofacial. The sensation is often compared to a quick snap of a rubber band, followed by a gentle warmth. Your provider will ensure your comfort every step of the way.
When will I see results?
You’ll likely notice brighter, smoother skin within a few days, with continued improvement as new collagen forms over the next few weeks. Full results typically develop after multiple sessions, depending on your customized treatment plan.
Can BBL HEROic be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Broad Band Light therapy can be paired with other rejuvenating treatments like MOXI, Morpheus8, microneedling, or BOTOX® to enhance results and support your skin’s long-term health. During your consultation, our team will create a personalized treatment plan that safely integrates your services for the best outcome.
MOXI + BBL HEROic: The Perfect Pair for Luminous Skin
For clients seeking next-level rejuvenation, combining MOXI™ with BBL HEROic offers remarkable benefits. While MOXI gently resurfaces the skin to improve texture and radiance, BBL HEROic targets pigment, redness, and discoloration beneath the surface. Together, they refine tone and texture for smoother, more even, and noticeably brighter skin—with minimal downtime.
How many BBL HEROic sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your unique skin concerns and goals. Many clients see visible improvement after just one treatment, but a series of treatment sessions is often recommended for optimal results and long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
Is BBL HEROic safe for all skin types?
BBL HEROic is suitable for most skin types, though results may vary based on tone and sensitivity. Our experienced team at Radiance Wellness will assess your skin to ensure the safest and most effective treatment for your unique needs.
