BBL Photofacial in Columbus

Absolutely! The BBL photofacial is customizable based on your skin’s type and needs.

Blush Aesthetics doesn’t do “one-size-fits-all” treatments because one size doesn’t fit all. After nailing down your skin concerns and goals—and reviewing the details of your situation and medical history—our experts will craft a plan to optimize your experience and results.

For example, if you’re struggling with active acne and scarring, we may adjust the HERO device’s blue, yellow, and infrared light settings to ramp up the bacteria-killing benefits of this therapy.

Recovery time after receiving light therapy is minimal! In most cases, you can return to your normal routine after treatment. You will probably get sick of hearing this, but we beat this drum because it is so, so important: wear 👏 your 👏 SPF.

Aside from giving your skin some time to heal after a BBL photofacial in Columbus—and scheduling maintenance sessions—make sure you keep things clean and simple. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer twice a day, avoiding any exfoliating products, followed by—you guessed it—sunscreen. After about a week, you can return to your regular routine.

No. While people tend to use “BBL” and “IPL” interchangeably, they’re not quite the same. IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light, refers to a kind of light-based skin rejuvenation technology. BBL, or broadband light, is a high-powered version of IPL that offers greater precision, power, and versatility. So, while IPL is known for treating hyperpigmentation, BBL does so much more, stimulating collagen and targeting visible signs of aging.

Just like a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t always a square, BBL is always IPL, but IPL isn’t always BBL. And when it comes to your skin, you want the square.

BBL HERO® is the next-level broadband light system that powers our photofacials. Developed by Sciton, this high-performance device—short for High Energy Rapid Output—delivers faster, more powerful treatments compared to standard BBL devices. HERO’s upgraded technology uses non-ablative light to address concerns efficiently and comfortably. Thanks to enhanced handpieces, our team can now target larger zones like the back and chest with ease, not just the delicate skin on your face.

That’s right! BBL is technically not a laser. While a BBL photofacial in Columbus may resemble laser treatments, the science behind it is different.

BBL uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology, which delivers customizable, filtered light across a broad spectrum instead of one fixed wavelength, like a laser does. This versatility allows our specialists to fine-tune the light’s depth and intensity to reach specific skin layers, all while keeping your skin’s surface safe. That’s why BBL offers effective skin renewal without the discomfort or downtime often associated with traditional laser treatments.

Definitely! At Blush Aesthetics, we’re strong advocates for combination therapies. Based on your skin concerns, goals, medical history, timeline, and budget, we’ll create a personalized plan to boost your photofacial’s results.

For example, someone focused on anti-aging might pair BBL with microneedling to enhance collagen and improve texture.

If you’re dealing with active acne, we could combine a custom medical-grade facial to clear bacteria with HERO technology to speed up skin renewal.

Since timing matters, we’ll carefully schedule your treatments to maximize benefits—safely and effectively.
