We’re excited to share that the SPA at Southeastern Plastic Surgery has expanded its menu of advanced skin rejuvenation services designed to refresh, smooth, and restore your skin’s natural glow. To help familiarize you with our latest options by Sciton, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about BBL® HEROic, Forever Body BBL, HALO, and Contour TRL laser resurfacing treatments.
BBL HEROic
What is BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic represents the latest advancement in Broadband Light (BBL) therapy. It features Intelligent Control™ software and a Skin Positioning System™, ensuring faster, more precise treatments with minimal discomfort.
What concerns can BBL HEROic treat?
It primarily targets age spots, sunspots, freckles, small veins, redness, rosacea, dullness, lines, and loss of elasticity—restoring a youthful, even complexion.
What is treatment like?
A gel is applied before the handpiece glides over your skin. You may feel a quick snap or warmth, but most patients find it tolerable. Thanks to CoolComfort™ technology, anesthesia isn’t required.
Is there downtime?
No, downtime is minimal to none. Some redness or sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn may occur, but most patients resume normal activities immediately.
Forever Body BBL
How does Forever Body BBL work?
This treatment uses advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to target pigment in the skin. Darkened spots signal effective treatment and fade as the body replaces them with fresh, healthy cells.
What areas can be treated?
Arms, legs, décolleté, and shoulders are commonly treated, but it can be performed nearly anywhere on the body.
When will I see results?
Similar to the effects of an IPL photofacial, most patients notice visible improvements in two to four weeks, with full results appearing gradually.
How many sessions do I need?
Many patients see results after one session, though two treatments are often recommended for optimal outcomes.
HALO
What makes HALO unique?
HALO is a hybrid laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths for powerful resurfacing with shorter recovery times. It improves discoloration, fine lines, pore size, and overall skin texture.
Is the treatment comfortable?
Yes. Numbing cream and integrated cooling help ensure comfort. Patients usually describe it as warm with light prickling.
What happens after treatment?
Some peeling occurs over several days, revealing fresh, revitalized skin. Makeup can typically be worn after 24 hours.
How long do results last?
With proper sun protection, HALO results last for years, and additional treatments can further enhance improvements.
Contour TRL Laser Resurfacing Treatment
What is Contour TRL?
Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is a customizable erbium laser treatment that safely removes damaged skin layers to reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture.
What areas can be treated?
The most common areas include the face, neck, chest, and hands, though other areas showing signs of aging or sun damage may also benefit.
What should I expect after treatment?
Your skin will likely appear red and feel sunburned right after treatment. Peeling and mild swelling are common for a few days, and healthier skin will be revealed as you heal.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery varies with treatment depth. Light resurfacing may heal in 3 to 4 days, while deeper treatments may require 1 to 2 weeks.
