BBL delivers broadband light energy into the skin to target age spots, sun damage, pigmentation, and vascular concerns for noticeably clearer skin.


BBL (BroadBand Light) is an advanced form of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) that uses controlled pulses of light to gently target redness, brown spots, and sun damage in the skin. Compared with traditional IPL, BBL offers more precise customization, making it especially helpful for Denver's high-altitude, sun-exposed lifestyles while prioritizing safety, comfort, and natural-looking improvements.
At Aère Aesthetics, BBL is performed by nationally recognized experts who tailor each setting to your skin tone, concerns, and long-term goals. Treatments are designed to integrate seamlessly into a broader, regenerative plan, supporting clearer, more even skin without lengthy downtime.

Each visit begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment to align your treatment with your complexion, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
After a detailed review of your goals and medical history, your provider gently cleanses the skin and applies a cooling gel to facilitate precise light transmission and support a comfortable treatment. You'll be walked through each step before anything begins, with time to ask questions and ensure you feel at ease.
During treatment, your provider checks in frequently and can adjust settings or pacing to keep you comfortable. BBL treatments are performed within strict safety protocols and guided by advanced, ongoing training in energy-based treatments. Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes, and you can usually return to your day immediately with clear instructions on aftercare.
BBL precisely targets sun spots, age spots, and diffuse redness to restore a more even, luminous complexion. It softens rosacea-related redness, minimizes the look of broken capillaries, and refines overall tone and clarity as part of a thoughtful, long-term skin maintenance plan.
It is also commonly used as part of long-term skin maintenance for overall tone and clarity.


BBL is commonly used to treat the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms together, refining all sun-exposed skin.
At Aère, we focus on balanced rejuvenation, harmonizing visible areas instead of chasing isolated pigment or redness.
BBL can seamlessly refresh the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands, unifying tone and texture within one thoughtfully tailored treatment plan.
BBL helps correct the sun-driven redness, pigment, and uneven tone that are common in Denver's high-altitude light. Skin looks clearer, softer in color, and more refined.
Softens visible sun spots, brown spots, and freckles for a clearer, more even tone.
Targets diffuse redness and vascular imperfections, creating a calmer, more balanced complexion.
Gently boosts luminosity so skin reflects light with a natural, healthy glow.
No major peeling; pigment gradually lifts as the skin looks clearer and more refined.
Personalized settings and series-based plans support subtle, buildable results over time.
We believe beautiful results come from expertise, consistency, and realistic expectations. Most treatments create change in stages. You may notice an early glow or subtle softening, followed by deeper improvements as collagen is stimulated, cellular turnover increases, and the skin has time to respond. Our role is to guide you through that process with clarity, so you always understand what is happening in your skin and why.
Visible changes can appear as early as a few days with some treatments, while others build gradually over several weeks. Regenerative treatments, in particular, are designed to keep working beneath the surface, supporting smoother texture, more even tone, and healthier-looking skin over time. A series of sessions, spaced appropriately, typically offers more refined, longer-lasting results than a single visit. We will outline a realistic timeline for your unique skin, including what you may see at one week, one month, and beyond.

You may be a strong candidate if you want:
BBL is generally safest for lighter skin tones; during your consultation, Aère's experts will guide you toward the modality that best supports your complexion, goals, and overall skin plan.
After treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink and warm, similar to a mild flush. Pigmented spots can darken before flaking naturally over several days.
Many patients notice clearer, brighter skin within 7–10 days as pigment lifts and redness softens. At Aère, BBL is often combined with:
Results can be long-lasting with consistent sun protection and a thoughtful home routine. Many patients choose a series of sessions, followed by periodic maintenance throughout the year.
Aère does not view BBL as a one-off service; it is woven into a comprehensive, regenerative plan that may include injectables, threads, and advanced skincare. Together, you and your provider design a full-face strategy that respects your features, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
At Aère, BBL is performed by our nationally recognized aesthetic specialists, prioritizing expertise, precision, and a patient-first philosophy.
As leaders and trainers in advanced aesthetic techniques, our Denver team takes a holistic approach, tailoring each session to your skin type, goals, and full-face aesthetic plan. Our focus is always on balance, subtlety, and long-term skin health, creating results that look natural and effortlessly bright.
Most patients start with a series of 3–5 BBL sessions to address sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. This creates a strong foundation before we move into a lighter maintenance phase. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin in detail and design a plan that fits your goals, timing, and comfort level. If you have more advanced discoloration or visible vessels, we may recommend additional sessions or pairing BBL with other regenerative treatments for more comprehensive results.
For a corrective series, BBL sessions are typically spaced about 4 weeks apart. This timing allows your skin to respond to each treatment while steadily building results. In some cases, we may adjust spacing slightly based on how your skin heals, your schedule, or other treatments in your plan. Our goal is to keep your skin on a predictable, sustainable rhythm rather than rushing the process. We'll map out your full series together so you know exactly what to expect and when.
After your initial series, many patients transition to maintenance BBL treatments every 3–6 months. If you spend a lot of time outdoors or have a history of significant sun exposure, we may suggest slightly more frequent visits to help counter ongoing UV-related changes. Maintenance is always personalized: we'll reassess your skin at each visit, adjust timing as needed, and integrate medical-grade skincare to extend your results between sessions. Think of it as a long-term partnership in preserving clarity, tone, and texture.
Yes. At Aère Aesthetics, BBL is often part of a larger, regenerative approach that may include injectables, collagen-stimulating therapies, or advanced skincare. We design full-face plans that respect your natural structure and cultural aesthetics while supporting skin health beneath the surface. Sometimes we'll alternate BBL with other modalities; other times, we'll sequence them seasonally. During your consultation, we'll talk through your priorities and comfort with downtime to decide what to combine, what to stage, and how to protect your skin throughout.
If you love being outdoors, travel frequently, or have an active lifestyle, we'll factor that into your BBL strategy. Sun exposure doesn't disqualify you, but it does influence how often you may need maintenance and how carefully we plan around seasons, trips, and events. We'll talk candidly about sunscreen habits, protective clothing, and realistic expectations so your results last as long as possible. Our goal isn't perfection; it's a thoughtful, sustainable plan that fits the way you actually live.
Your BBL journey is a conversation, not a one-time decision. At each visit, we'll review your progress, how your skin is responding, and whether your goals have shifted. Sometimes that means continuing regular BBL; other times, it means pausing, spacing treatments further apart, or introducing different technologies. Because our providers train and teach nationally, you'll always receive transparent recommendations grounded in experience, not trends. Together, we'll refine your long-term plan so it feels both elevated and genuinely you.
