BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy

BroadBand Light (BBL) is a versatile phototherapy treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns using intense pulsed light technology. From sun damage and age spots to acne, rosacea, and vascular lesions, BBL delivers pulses of energy that target problem areas while keeping discomfort to a minimum. The treatment can be customized to suit any part of your body, even hard-to-reach areas like the chest, hands, and neck.

Key Benefits of BBL:

  • Reduces the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and freckles
  • Minimizes spider veins, broken capillaries, and other vascular lesions
  • Treats active acne and reduces post-inflammatory redness
  • Improves overall skin texture, tone, and clarity
  • Enhances skin firmness and stimulates collagen production
  • Provides long-term anti-aging benefits at the cellular level
  • Can be performed on face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart, with annual maintenance sessions to preserve improvements.

MicroLaserPeel: Precision Skin Resurfacing

For those seeking deeper exfoliation than microdermabrasion but gentler than traditional laser resurfacing, the MicroLaserPeel offers the perfect solution. This procedure is highly effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation, leaving you with smoother, younger-looking skin. Most patients experience a mild sunburn-like sensation during recovery, which subsides within 3-4 days, allowing you to quickly return to your daily routine.

SkinTyte: Non-Invasive Skin Tightening

If you're seeking a gentle, no-downtime solution for skin tightening and firming, SkinTyte may be the answer. As we age, collagen production diminishes, leading to loose, sagging skin on the face, neck, abdomen, and other areas. SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to stimulate collagen production and remodeling, naturally lifting and firming your skin without surgery, needles, or recovery time.

ProFractional Laser Therapy

For those looking to treat wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, surgical scars, and uneven skin texture, ProFractional Laser Therapy offers a safe and effective solution. This fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment is highly customizable and can be adapted to treat varying depths and severity of damage. The treatment encourages rapid healing and increased collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin with minimal downtime.

HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser

HALO represents the next generation of laser skin resurfacing, combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single treatment for unprecedented results. This hybrid fractional laser addresses both superficial skin concerns (texture, tone, pigmentation) and deeper structural issues (wrinkles, pores, laxity) simultaneously, delivering comprehensive rejuvenation that previously required multiple separate treatments.

Results include significantly improved skin texture, reduced pore size, diminished fine lines and wrinkles, elimination of pigmentation and sun damage, and overall skin quality enhancement that can take years off your appearance. Many patients achieve their desired results with just 1-2 treatments.

Vbeam Perfecta: Vascular Lesion Treatment

Vbeam Perfecta is a pulsed dye laser specifically designed to treat vascular conditions, including rosacea, facial redness, spider veins, port wine stains, and other blood vessel irregularities. The laser targets hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body without damaging surrounding tissue.

This gentle yet highly effective treatment requires no downtime, though some patients experience temporary bruising that resolves within 7-10 days. Vbeam is also effective for treating certain types of scars, stretch marks, and benign pigmented lesions. Most patients see significant improvement after 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Laser Hair Removal

Our Walnut Creek practice offers advanced laser hair removal services designed to provide permanent hair reduction for all skin types and hair colors. Using state-of-the-art technology, we can safely and effectively treat unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body, including face, underarms, legs, bikini area, back, chest, and more.

What to Expect From Laser Treatments in Walnut Creek

Your Consultation

Your laser treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where your provider will:

  • Examine your skin type, concerns, and treatment areas
  • Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations
  • Review your medical history and any contraindications
  • Explain which laser treatments will most effectively address your needs
  • Show before-and-after photos of previous patients
  • Create a customized treatment plan with timeline and pricing
  • Answer all questions about procedures, recovery, and results

Treatment Sessions

Laser treatment experiences vary based on the specific procedure:

Light-Based Treatments (BBL, SkinTyte):

These treatments feel like warm snaps against the skin, similar to a rubber band. Sessions typically take 15-45 minutes, depending on treatment areas. No anesthesia is needed, and you can immediately return to normal activities with only mild redness lasting a few hours.

Ablative Resurfacing (MicroLaserPeel, ProFractional, HALO):

These treatments remove or vaporize skin tissue, requiring a topical anesthetic for comfort. You'll feel heat and a prickling sensation during treatment. Sessions last 30-90 minutes, depending on treatment areas and intensity. Recovery ranges from 3-7 days with redness, swelling, and peeling.

Vascular Treatments (Vbeam):

These treatments target blood vessels with minimal discomfort. Integrated cooling systems keep skin comfortable during the brief laser pulses. Most patients tolerate treatment easily without anesthesia.

Hair Removal:

Laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks. Integrated cooling minimizes discomfort. Treatment time ranges from 15 minutes (small areas) to 90 minutes (large areas like full legs or back).

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies significantly by treatment type:

  • BBL, SkinTyte, Vbeam: No downtime, mild redness for 1-4 hours
  • MicroLaserPeel: 3-4 days of redness and peeling
  • ProFractional (light): 3-5 days of redness and texture changes
  • ProFractional (aggressive): 5-7 days of swelling, oozing, and peeling
  • HALO: 5-7 days of redness, swelling, and peeling
  • Laser Hair Removal: No downtime, possible mild redness for 24 hours
    Results also develop on different timelines, such as:
  • BBL: Pigmentation darkens then flakes off over 1-2 weeks; full results visible in 4-6 weeks
    Resurfacing Treatments: Immediate smoothness after healing, with continued improvement over 3-6 months as collagen remodels
  • SkinTyte: Gradual tightening over 3-6 months as new collagen forms
  • Hair Removal: Treated hair sheds over 2-3 weeks; full results after completing treatment series

Lasers FAQ's

Can laser treatments be performed safely on all skin tones?

How far apart should I schedule laser treatment sessions?

Can I combine different laser treatments in one session?

Will laser treatments interfere with my Botox or filler results?

What skincare products should I avoid before and after laser treatments?

Are laser treatment results permanent, or will concerns return?

Can laser treatments help with melasma or hormonal pigmentation?

What should I do if my skin has an unexpected reaction to laser treatment?

Can laser treatments be performed safely on all skin tones?

Advances in laser technology have made treatments safer for a wider range of skin tones, but not all lasers are appropriate for every skin type. Darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) require specialized settings or wavelengths to reduce the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation, while lighter skin tones can usually tolerate more aggressive treatments.

How far apart should I schedule laser treatment sessions?

The spacing between laser sessions depends on the treatment and your skin’s healing response. Many resurfacing and BBL treatments are scheduled every 4–6 weeks to allow proper healing and collagen remodeling. Laser hair removal sessions are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart to align with hair growth cycles.

Can I combine different laser treatments in one session?

Yes. Combination laser treatments are common and can address multiple concerns in one visit. Popular combinations include BBL with ProFractional for overall rejuvenation or MicroLaserPeel with BBL to improve both texture and pigmentation, often reducing total downtime and cost.

Will laser treatments interfere with my Botox or filler results?

Laser treatments can usually be performed safely around Botox and fillers, but timing matters. Providers often recommend waiting about two weeks after injectables before laser treatment. Heat-based lasers near filler areas require careful technique to avoid breaking down hyaluronic acid fillers.

What skincare products should I avoid before and after laser treatments?

Before ablative laser treatments, retinoids, exfoliating acids, and prescription acne medications should be stopped 5–7 days in advance to reduce irritation. After treatment, avoid active ingredients, fragranced products, and harsh cleansers until the skin heals, typically resuming normal skincare after 7–10 days.

Are laser treatment results permanent, or will concerns return?

Results depend on the concern treated. Laser hair removal permanently destroys treated follicles, though hormonal changes may require touch-ups. Improvements in pigmentation, texture, and vascular issues are long-lasting but do not stop natural aging, so maintenance treatments every 1–2 years are often recommended.

Can laser treatments help with melasma or hormonal pigmentation?

Melasma requires a cautious approach. Aggressive lasers can worsen hormonally driven pigmentation. Conservative BBL settings combined with medical-grade skincare are often safer, while more intensive resurfacing lasers are generally avoided.

What should I do if my skin has an unexpected reaction to laser treatment?

You should contact your provider immediately if you experience severe pain, blistering beyond expectations, signs of infection such as increasing redness, warmth, or drainage, or any other concerning symptoms.
