What Is a BBL / BBR IPL Photofacial?
If you’ve been searching for IPL in Gladstone, you’ve likely come across terms like BBL, BBR and Photofacial. While they are often used interchangeably, they refer to advanced forms of light-based skin rejuvenation designed to visibly correct pigmentation, redness and signs of sun damage.
At MizHitch CosMedi Retreat, we use BroadBand Rejuvenation (BBR) technology - an advanced evolution of traditional IPL - to deliver controlled pulses of light energy into the skin. This allows us to treat unwanted pigment and vascular irregularities while supporting collagen production for smoother, firmer-looking skin.
What Does IPL Treat?
A BBL / BBR IPL Photofacial is commonly used to address:
• Sun damage and age spots
• Freckles and uneven pigmentation
• Facial redness and rosacea
• Broken capillaries
• Acne and post-inflammatory marks
• Early signs of skin laxity
Unlike surface-level treatments, IPL works within the skin by targeting melanin (pigment) and haemoglobin (vascular concerns) without damaging surrounding tissue.
Does IPL Help With Skin Tightening?
While IPL is not a surgical tightening treatment, BBR technology supports collagen stimulation over a series of treatments. This can improve skin texture, elasticity and overall firmness - making it a popular non-surgical rejuvenation option.
What’s the Difference Between a Photofacial and Spot IPL Treatments?
A full-face BBR Photofacial treats the entire face in one comprehensive session, ideal for overall skin rejuvenation.
Targeted IPL treatments, such as pigment or vascular correction, focus on specific areas like the hands, décolletage or isolated capillaries.
During your consultation, we determine which approach will achieve the most strategic and beautiful result for your skin.
Is IPL Safe?
Every treatment at MizHitch begins with a thorough consultation and test patch to ensure safe, customised treatment parameters tailored to your skin type and concern.
When performed correctly, IPL is a highly effective and well-tolerated treatment for long-term skin clarity and rejuvenation.
