BBL Hero Light Therapy Brightens and Renews Damaged Skin 

BBL HERO Light Therapy is your go-to treatment for vibrant, youthful skin. This advanced light therapy targets sun damage, fine lines, and pigmentation issues, delivering fast, visible results with minimal downtime. Say goodbye to dullness and hello to a glowing complexion!

BBL HERO Light Therapy in San Antonio

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy has been popular for years with patients who want to improve their skin’s appearance without invasive or harsh treatments. BBL HERO is more powerful – faster and more versatile than traditional IPL treatments. BBL HERO stands for broadband light (BBL) high energy rapid output (HERO). Because it uses light energy, BBL treatment is often referred to as a photofacial or photorejuvenation.

BBL HERO Light Therapy is comfortable, safe, and effective for nearly all skin types (except darkest tones). It requires no downtime. At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, we use this treatment to:

  • Repair sun-damaged skin
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce age spots and sunspots
  • Reduce enlarged pores
  • Reduce scarring
  • Treat rosacea and blushing or flushing
  • Repair vascular or cutaneous lesions
  • Tighten skin
  • Reduce or remove unwanted hair

Why Choose Eterna for BBL HERO Light Therapy

BBL HERO Light Therapy at Eterna provides a fast, non-invasive solution for clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin. This cutting-edge technology targets pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging while stimulating natural collagen production. Treatments are customized to your skin type and concerns, delivering noticeable results with minimal downtime.

  • Improves skin tone, texture, and overall radiance

  • Reduces pigmentation, redness, and sun damage

  • Non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime

  • Personalized plans tailored to your unique skin goals

What Is BBL HERO?

BBL HERO is a non-invasive technology that does not require the skin to be ablated or vaporized to achieve desired results. It is not a single device, but an entire system that gives Dr. Hernandez multiple ways to customize treatment for patients, addressing multiple issues simultaneously, as needed. Though it is sometimes called photofacial, we can perform this treatment on almost all parts of the body. Most commonly, though, we use BBL on the face, neck, chest, and hands.  

The advanced technology promotes renewed collagen production. In fact, a Stanford University study showed that BBL treatments are able to produce a more vibrant, youthful appearance because light energy changes the structure of the genes associated with aging make-up and alters the molecular structure of the skin cells.   

Forever Young

BBL works in the epidermis and also deeper dermis to correct pigmentation problems such as freckles, sun damage, and age spots to improve skin elasticity and produce a smoother, more uniform tone and texture. Patients often see noticeable results after just one session, however, most patients need 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart to achieve desired results.

Because treatments boost collagen and elastin, Forever Young also offers “prejuvenation” benefits. With ongoing maintenance treatments, skin cells behave like those of a younger person, delaying the visible effects of aging.  

Forever Clear

Whether you suffer from active acne or post-acne scars and redness, Forever Clear helps you regain smooth, clear skin without resorting to expensive creams or prescription medications that often have unwanted side effects. BBL HERO:

  • Addresses active acne by killing bacteria
  • Improves skin appearance by reducing redness, inflammation, and scars
  • Helps prevent new breakouts

For best results, we recommend 3-6 sessions, 2-4 weeks apart.

BBL Forever Clear can be used in conjunction with exfoliating acne treatment if the two treatments are scheduled a week apart. BBL can also be combined with HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser or ProFractional Laser therapy, and it also works well with dermal fillers.

Forever Bare

Forever Bare BBL is well-known and popular with patients for years because it gets rid of unwanted hair anywhere, permanently. IPL targets the pigment in hair and heats follicles to kill actively growing hairs. It takes multiple sessions to achieve maximum results because hair grows in phases – usually 6-10 sessions, 4-8 weeks apart.

Forever Bare is great for removing hair on large areas such as the back and legs, but gentle and precise enough for small, tender areas such as eyebrows and underarms. This treatment works on all skin types except the darkest tones.

Who Is a Good BBL HERO Light Therapy Candidate?

BBL HERO is a great option for patients who want to refresh their appearance to look younger and who are looking for a comfortable, fast-acting treatment with no downtime. You may choose BBL to address one or several of the skin issues noted above.

You may not be a good candidate right now if:

  • You are taking medications that cause sensitivity to light
  • Have used Accutane in the past six months
  • Have a dark skin tone or tan skin from sun exposure or tanning beds

Explore the Benefits of BBL Hero Light Therapy

We administer the intense pulsed light to the skin’s outer layer, promoting collagen regeneration and changing the molecular structure of the skin cells. This cutting-edge skin resurfacing technology allows us to provide the most effective treatment for each individual, helping to restore skin to its most vibrant, youthful, and rejuvenated state.

BBL HERO photofacials take between 15 and 30 minutes. We may apply a numbing cream to the area about 30 minutes before treatment to ensure maximum comfort, however, BBL HERO is the least painful laser treatment available. Patients tell us it feels something like lightly snapping the skin with a rubber band.

What Happens After BBL HERO Treatment?

Even just one treatment can help skin become clearer, tighter, and smoother. And that may be enough for you. However, everyone is different, so the number of photofacials we recommend will vary based on your specific condition and expectations. Most patients need 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart.

Typically, you can resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment. At first your skin will appear darker and may look mildly red or flushed. Most redness fades in just a few hours, and any remaining pinkness will fade over the next 7-10 days. If you have darker skin, you may notice mild flaking or peeling 1-2 weeks after treatment.

We will recommend a cream or lotion you can apply to the skin immediately after treatment to promote healing, and makeup can be applied immediately after treatment to cover any remaining redness. Over the next few weeks, your skin will become smoother. Results will be more noticeable in 2 to 4 weeks.

As always, we recommend daily sunscreen use to protect your skin and promote the best results possible.

Dr. Hernandez did a wonderful job performing my chin/neck lipo! She was extremely informative from the very first consult and also gave he recommendation (morpheus 8, Renuvion) that would best tailor my end results. Her team is extremely friendly and you are treated like family. I am one day post-op with slight swelling but I can already see a significant change in my face and neck. I am beyond satisfied I chose Dr. Hernandez and recommend her if you are looking to enhance your self esteem you won't regret it!!!

Dr.Hernandez and the whole staff are awesome. I always feel very welcome when I go in. I love the results from my vaserliposuction procedure on my upper back(dowers hump or buffalo hump). I’ve always felt very self conscious about this area, and now I feel like I can actually wear my hair up and have my upper back neck area exposed. Thank you for helping me feel more confident in my own skin!

Dr. Hernandez is such an amazing person. She cares about her patients and their feelings. The staff and the doctor are very attentive and make sure you understand every part about whatever procedure you are having. I had the fat transfer breast augmentation and love it. Everything from pre-procedure to post procedure was so easy and the recovery time was quick. I highly recommend.

I myself won’t be returning to her l wasn’t happy with my results l paid a little over $7000 I got an upper lipo and under eye injection. Next time I’m going to SonoBello. I’m still wearing a spandex and covering my under eye which she said it’ll be a couple months before l see results. She’s a nice person but l saw her as trying to get clients in.Everyday l see myself makes me upset that l wasted all that money and the results still the same.She advertises its $1499 then in consultation ends up with thousands of $$$$$. They sell expensive product that also don’t work and yes l was the STUPID ONE THAT THEY SUCKERED IN. If you look at the picture it looks bad l paid $1000 for a injection plus bought the eye cream that didn’t work. I’m thinking of disputing this not sure where it will go.

Great experience! Dr. Hernandez did an excellent job with my Botox and PDGF under-eye injections. Everything was explained clearly, the treatment was comfortable, and the results look natural. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The doctor was very informative and really took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve with my surgery, which made me feel confident and comfortable in my decision.

Being semi-awake during the procedure was a bit strange at first, but the team made sure I was comfortable the entire time and consistently checked in to make sure I was okay. Their care and attentiveness truly stood out.

It’s almost been a year since my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results—it looks amazing. I will definitely be going back in the future, and I’m even considering trying TruFlex next time.

The only mildly negative experience I had was when I asked about their facials. I was told they would follow up since their machine was being replaced with a newer model, but I never heard back. That said, it was a minor issue and didn’t take away from my overall positive experience.

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Eterna cosmetic surgery. I initially went in for a consultation for BBL and during the consultation Dr. Hernandez had recommended a mini tummy tuck which I am extremely happy with. I was awake during the procedure, which I love because I hate being under anesthesia. I was a little nervous in the beginning, but let me tell you everything came out great. Dr. Hernandez and the staff helped me through the whole process from consultation, pre- surgery, surgery and post-op. I am extremely happy with both the surgeries. It was a completely safe procedure and being awake during the surgery was not bad because they gave me the medication and were there to make me feel comfortable during the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez and the staff. 💜🙌🏼🕊️
