BBL Photofacials

To direct one’s hopes or ambitions toward achieving something.

Our Philosophy

Damage inflicted on your skin can be corrected.

The sun, time and the environment often make an appearance on your skin in the form of uneven skin tone, age spots, broken capillaries and rosacea, leaving your skin looking less than radiant. These blemishes can be distracting and embarrassing.

If you want to treat common skin concerns such as aging skin, age spots, skin texture, brown spots, dark spots, sun damage, broken blood vessels, spider veins, rosacea, and other skin conditions, you’ll first meet with Dr. Lee or one of our trained Skin Care Specialists to discuss broadband light BBL treatments. We will examine the skin cells in the trouble area and talk about your goals for the light energy procedure, as well as lay out a treatment plan to help you achieve healthy skin. We have provided skin care for patients in the Angola, Warsaw, and Huntington areas. You can be assured your needs will be addressed.

Be prepared to share your medical history, including previous surgeries, medical conditions, drug allergies, and current medications. At our Fort Wayne office, we will go through your records and help you determine what treatment is most effective for you.

Before Your Procedure

Patients should stop using retinols and exfoliants one week prior to treatment and are advised not to wear makeup on their treatment day. We do require a consultation prior to your treatment. During your consultation you will meet with one of our Licensed Aestheticians who will create a customized treatment plan to help you get your desired results!

Your Procedure

Your treatment may begin with the application of a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort during your session. BBL Photofacials, also known as photo rejuvenation, use intense pulsed light to heat and destroy just the areas of discoloration, allowing your skin to build a fresh, smooth layer in its place. The light stimulates your tissue to produce collagen, the protein that forms the connective tissue of your skin. This minimally invasive procedure requires little downtime and has few side effects. Photo rejuvenation often works incrementally to erase skin damage, primarily on the hands, neck, and chest. Multiple treatments (usually six) are often necessary to achieve the best results. But you can look forward to a noticeable improvement with just one treatment. You may experience some short-term redness after a BBL photofacial and even some mild bruising. You will need to avoid harsh cleaners after your procedure. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after the treatment. Consistent use of a broad spectrum sunscreen is strongly advised for both lighter skin tones and darker skin tones.

Understanding the Risks

Before scheduling an appointment for BBL Photofacials, please tell us if you:

• Have experienced skin color changes, scarring or thickened tissue with previous treatments, or have a history of keloid scars.
• Have any skin disorders or immune diseases that could impair healing.
• Are using isotretinoin or Accutane or if you have used either within the last 6 to 12 months.
• Have a bacterial or viral infection of the skin or a history of cold sores.
• Use Botox, Dysport or facial fillers.

Side effects and risks of BBL photofacial treatments include:

• Swelling, itching, crusting, and tenderness as the treated area heals
• Skin irritation, including acne flare-ups
• Bacterial, viral, or fungal infection of the skin
• Rare scarring

Our Skin Care Specialists will address these risks during your consultation. Please let us know if you have specific questions or concerns.

But Dr. Lee is a board-certified plastic surgeon, and he has carefully trained his staff to deliver the same thorough, careful approach. You can trust the Aspire specialists to provide a safe procedure and the best outcome possible.
