TREATMENT GUIDES

WHY CHOOSE BBL® HERO™ AT DR ED ROBINSON AESTHETICS IN CHESHIRE?

We are a premier destination in Cheshire for Sciton’s results-driven skin treatments. With its broad range of wavelengths, BBL® HERO™ can treat all of the following, non-invasively:

  • Acne (Forever Clear BBL® destroys acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation and redness, using a combination of blue, yellow and infrared light that can address acne on almost any part of the body – face, neck and back being the most common treatment areas. Effective for adults and teenagers)

  • Dyschromia (a change in colour of the skin caused by a loss or increase in pigmentation – affected skin looks patchy and either red or purple)

  • Erythema (redness of skin caused by injury or another inflammation, often presenting as a rash. Caused by injured or inflamed blood capillaries)

  • Irregular pigmentation

  • Pigmented skin lesions (lesions that are either brown, black or blue-grey in colour, and mostly caused by sun damage): some birthmarks, age spots/liver spots, moles and ephelides (freckles)

  • Rosacea

  • Rough skin texture

  • Solar lentigines (a solar lentigo is more commonly known as an age spot or liver spot. Unlike freckles, solar lentigines tend to form after the age of 30 and are sun-induced lesions, typically appearing on areas exposed to natural light)

  • Unwanted hair with Forever BARE BBL®

  • Vascular skin lesions (caused by ruptured blood vessels): telangiectasia, some birthmarks, port-wine stains, rosacea, cherry angiomas, spider veins, broken capillaries, dilated or broken blood vessels, visibly red capillaries located near the surface of the skin, facial bruising.

BENEFITS OF BBL HERO IN CHESHIRE

BBL® HERO™ is one of the fastest ways to get rid of the visible signs of ageing on your face and body: neck, chest, hands, shoulders, arms, legs and more.

It is a comfortable, low-to-no downtime ‘lunchtime’ procedure that can deal with all your red or brown pigmentary problems on your face and body: age spots, redness, rosacea, or dull-looking skin, for example. BBL® HERO™ can improve the vitality of your skin anywhere on your body; and because BBL® HERO™ is a multi-module platform, your practitioner can treat multiple skin disorders with a single device, in a single treatment. So BBL® HERO™ not only produces results superior to other IPL laser systems, but requires fewer treatments too.

  • Yes. BBL® HERO™ can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands. Bespoke treatments (to include, say, lower legs or forearms) can be discussed with your clinician at your consultation.

  • You will see results from a single BBL® HERO™ treatment; however, the number of treatments will depend on the severity of your pigmentation. A typical patient requires two treatments.

  • This can vary, depending on the individual, on the area being treated, and on the settings used.

    However, most patients see results in 2-4 weeks.

    Initially, pigment in your skin is darkened, which is the preferable result clinically, and helps you know that you have had an optimal treatment. Then, over time, your body’s natural healing process will remove the pigmented cells and replace them with new cells. Your brown spots and red patches will be replaced by fresh, undamaged skin.

  • After every BBL® HERO™ treatment, it is important that you: use a physical-barrier sunscreen of 30 SPF+ (with active ingredients zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide); limit your sun exposure; and wear cover-up clothing (to shield the treated areas on your body from direct sun). Your practitioner will advise on any post treatment regime you should follow.

  • The cost of BBL HERO treatments can vary, starting at £550. It's best to contact Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics directly for the most accurate pricing information and package deals.

    Please see the pricing section for all prices.

  • BBL® HERO™ treatments are no-downtime, comfortable procedures, and can provide both targeted treatments and ongoing skin maintenance. Each flash of BBL® HERO™ light produces a feeling of warmth.

    Most patients easily tolerate this feeling, without the need for anaesthetic numbing cream. Your practitioner will use BBL®s CoolComfort handpiece (which provides contact cooling to protect the epidermis), and will work quickly while BBL® HERO™ light is emitted in flashes across the treatment area. Y

    ou will wear safety goggles throughout this treatment.

  • Absolutely, BBL® HERO™ is suitable and effective for both men and women. It addresses universal skin concerns like aging, acne, and uneven skin tone.
