Complete Guide to BBL Treatment Types: HERO, Forever Young, Moxi
Choosing the right BBL (BroadBand Light) treatment can significantly impact your skin rejuvenation . At Omniya Clinic, we offer three BBL protocols: Standard BBL, BBL Forever Young, and BBL HERO. Each variant delivers specific benefits tailored to different skin concerns and goals. This comprehensive guide explains the differences to help you determine which BBL treatment best suits your needs.
What Is BBL Technology and How Does It Work?
BBL technology uses powerful flashes of broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns without damaging surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, BBL delivers multiple wavelengths (560nm-1200nm) that can be filtered to target specific chromophores in the skin.
When BBL light energy is absorbed by pigment, blood vessels, or water in the skin, it creates controlled thermal damage. This triggers the body’s natural response, stimulating collagen and cellular renewal. The damaged cells containing pigment or vascular lesions are naturally and by the body, revealing clearer, more youthful skin.
BBL’s advanced cooling system maintains skin surface while deeper tissues receive therapeutic heat, making treatments both effective and comfortable.

BBL Standard: Applications and Benefits
Standard BBL serves as the foundation of broadband light therapy at Omniya Clinic. This versatile protocol effectively addresses common skin concerns including:
Standard BBL treatments typically take minutes depending on the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm rubber band snap against the skin, with minimal discomfort thanks to the integrated cooling system.
Standard BBL works best for individuals with:
Many patients begin their skin rejuvenation journey with Standard BBL before progressing to more specialised as their needs evolve.
BBL Forever Young: Anti-Ageing Protocol and Results
BBL Forever Young elevates standard BBL therapy by focusing specifically on anti-ageing and preventative treatment. What makes Forever Young truly revolutionary is its ability to change the expression of genes associated with ageing, essentially skin cells to behave more youthfully.
demonstrated that regular BBL Forever Young treatments can restore older skin cells to more like younger skin cells at a molecular level. This makes BBL Forever Young one of the few treatments scientifically proven to reverse ageing beyond surface improvements.
The BBL Young protocol typically involves:
“The BBL Forever Young treatments have completely changed how my skin ages. After six treatments over two years, my skin looks better than it did a decade ago.”
– Sarah, 58
Unlike treatments that offer improvement, BBL Forever Young delivers progressive results that improve with consistent maintenance. The more regularly you receive treatments, the better your skin appears over time – effectively and reversing visible ageing.
BBL HERO: High Energy Rapid Output Treatment Explained
BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) represents the newest advancement in BBL technology. This groundbreaking system delivers treatments up to:
With BBL HERO, a full face treatment can be completed in approximately 5 minutes, making it the most efficient option for busy patients or those treating larger body areas.
While earlier BBL systems were primarily used for facial treatments, BBL HERO efficiently treats larger body areas including:
This makes BBL HERO particularly valuable for treating sun damage and signs of ageing beyond the face.
“I had my entire back and shoulders treated with BBL HERO for sun damage. The efficiency was impressive, and the results were visible after just one treatment.”
– James, 42
MOXI Laser: The Perfect Complement to BBL Treatments
While not a BBL technology, MOXI deserves special mention as an ideal complementary treatment that enhances BBL results. MOXI is a fractional non-ablative laser that addresses different aspects of skin rejuvenation.
Unlike BBL, which primarily targets and vessels, MOXI works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s repair process and collagen production, improving concerns that BBL doesn’t directly address:
MOXI treatments are gentle enough for all skin types and require minimal downtime, making it an excellent year-round treatment option.
BBL and MOXI work synergistically to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation:
Many patients achieve optimal results by alternating BBL and MOXI treatments or combining them in the same session when appropriate.

Which BBL Treatment Is Right for Your Skin Concerns?
Selecting the optimal BBL protocol on your specific concerns, time constraints, and treatment goals:
Many patients at Omniya Clinic begin with Standard BBL before progressing to Forever Young for maintenance or HERO for more comprehensive correction. Adding MOXI to your regimen can address textural concerns that BBL alone might not fully resolve.

Treatment Combinations for Enhanced Results
At Omniya Clinic, we often combine BBL treatments with complementary for enhanced results:
The MOXI laser targets early signs of ageing and skin texture at a deeper level than BBL. When combined, BBL addresses pigment and vascular concerns while MOXI improves texture, pore appearance, and fine lines. This powerful combination comprehensive skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

For patients concerned with skin laxity, adding SkinTyte to a BBL treatment plan provides enhanced firming benefits. SkinTyte uses infrared light technology to heat deeper tissue layers, promoting collagen contraction and production for a more lifted appearance.

Enhance your BBL results with our HydraFacial treatment, a multi-step cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating procedure that complements BBL beautifully. The HydraFacial deeply cleanses and removes impurities whilst delivering nutrients to the skin. This luxurious treatment perfectly complements BBL by:
The HydraFacial’s deep cleansing and extraction process allows BBL light to penetrate more effectively, whilst its hydrating infusions help soothe the skin post-treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About BBL Treatments
Q: How many treatments will I need? A: Most patients require 3-6 initial treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Standard BBL typically requires more sessions than BBL HERO, which often shows significant results after fewer treatments. MOXI results are typically visible after 1-3 sessions.
Q: When will I see results? A: Initial improvements appear within 1-2 weeks. Pigmentation typically darkens before flaking off. Vascular lesions may disappear immediately or fade over 1-2 weeks. Collagen remodelling continues for several months after treatment.
Q: How long do results last? A: Results can last 6-12 months with proper sun protection and skincare. The BBL Forever Young protocol with regular maintenance has shown results lasting years, with some patients’ Medicated Skin Care appearing younger after 10+ years of regular treatments.
Q: Are BBL treatments safe for all skin types? A: BBL are safest for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. Fitzpatrick skin types V–VI require a more cautious approach, and BBL may not be for all patients. Our experienced practitioners will assess your skin type and may recommend MOXI or alternative options for darker skin tones. Those with darker skin tones (V-VI) have increased risk of pigmentation changes. BBL HERO’s advanced cooling can make treatment safer for some patients with medium skin tones. MOXI is gentle enough for all skin types, making it an excellent alternative for darker skin tones.
Q: What are the potential side effects? A: Common side effects include temporary redness, warmth, and darkening of pigmented spots. Rare side include blistering, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation. Choosing an experienced clinic like Omniya minimises these risks.
Q: Can I combine BBL with other treatments on the same day? A: Many treatments can be safely combined with BBL. We often BBL with MOXI in the same session. Injectables like Botox can be administered the same day, while fillers are typically scheduled 2 weeks before or after BBL.
