What Is BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL™)?
BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL™) is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure available at Renew Plastic Surgery in Edina that uses advanced light energy to improve how skin looks and behaves over time. It’s a form of laser treatment designed to correct things like discoloration, redness, acne and fine lines without surgery or extended recovery.
Renew offers several BBL™ systems, including BBL™ HEROic as well as the JOULE 7 and JOULE X platforms.
During a consultation with our team in Edina, you’ll be able to discuss which device you’d prefer for your BBL™ photofacial laser treatment. BBL™ HEROic features a larger treatment area and faster delivery, while the JOULE systems offer a more traditional BBL™ experience. Pricing varies by device, with BBL™ HEROic sessions generally higher than treatments performed using the JOULE systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL™) cosmetic procedure is considered safe when performed by a trained professional. It is a non-invasive procedure that does not require surgery or anesthesia. However, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it is suitable for your skin type and specific concerns.
Many people start noticing improvements in their skin’s appearance after only two sessions! The full benefits become more apparent over time as the skin continues to regenerate and produce more collagen. It’s important to follow the recommended treatment plan for optimal results.
No, not really. You may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but it usually subsides within a few hours to a day. You can resume regular activities immediately after the treatment, although it’s advisable to avoid direct sun exposure.
At Renew Plastic Surgery in Edina, three BroadBand Light platforms are available so that treatment can be tailored to individual needs rather than a single, fixed approach. Here’s a quick overview:
- BBL™ HEROic is the newest platform. It uses a larger treatment spot and delivers light energy more efficiently, which can shorten session time, particularly when treating larger areas.
- The JOULE 7 is a long-established BBL™ system that delivers the same underlying technology in a traditional treatment format. It is commonly used for standard photofacial treatments and targeted areas.
- The JOULE X also uses BroadBand Light technology and offers additional flexibility in how treatments are delivered, allowing providers to adjust based on skin concerns and treatment location.
During a consultation, the care team will review your goals and help you choose which platform is most appropriate for your BBL™ cosmetic procedure.
