BBL ULTRA PEEL combines Broadband Light treatment followed by Nano Erbium Laser. Brown spots or freckles are removed, while the Nano laser removes the outermost layers of the skin for a smooth glow. Patients see improvement in sun damage spots and improvement in fine lines and wrinkles.
Most skin areas can be treated. Popular treatment areas are the face and neck though some people also treat the chest and hands. You should discuss your needs with the Buckingham Center clinical staff.
*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.
Treatments can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and back of hands for:
- Mild wrinkles
- Softening fine lines
- Sun damage (e.g., freckles)
- Pigment irregularities
- Stimulating collagen production for long lasting deep wrinkle improvements
Frequently Asked BBL ULTRA Peel Questions
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin’s condition and desired results. Buckingham Center’s clinical staff can personalize a plan based on your specific needs and may choose to combine BBL ULTRA PEEL with other aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
Will it be uncomfortable?
BBL ULTRA PEEL is a very tolerable treatment that requires, at most, a topical anesthetic which is applied 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to treatment.
What should I expect immediately after the treatment?
After the treatment pigmented spots will turn dark and you will experience mild redness and warmth, similar to a sunburn-like sensation.
I am three months past my Lower Facelift, Fat Transfer, Chemical Peel and CO2 laser resurfacing. Now I know that sounds like a lot but after about 2 weeks I could go out in public. Since I am new to the area most people just state how young I look for my age, 64. My family wasn’t sure at first about having the procedures but now all admit it was well worth it. Having said that, the experience went well largely due to Dr. Buckingham and his staff. OK, they even sent me flowers! But, if I had any questions or concerns they were just a call away.I should say that after being a RN for 35 years I knew the right questions to ask at pre-op but even if I hadn’t, they had all my questions answer-before I had to ask.
How long will it take to recover?
Depending on the depth of treatment, most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within a couple of days- an attribute that has given rise to the nickname “the weekend peel”. Typically, at day 2 skin will begin to peel. Peeling usually lasts about 2-3 days. Redness may persist up to seven days and can be covered by make-up.
What aftercare do I need?
You may be given skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be sensitive to ultraviolet light after the procedure, so you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. It is recommended that you always use some level of solar protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin.
*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.
When should I expect results?
Most patients notice improvement in tone, texture and color evenness once the skin heals in approximately one week. Nice results can be obtained in just one treatment, however the number of treatments needed may vary from patient to patient.
