Is BBL Hero safe for all skin types?

BBL Hero can be used on a range of skin types, though treatment settings are adjusted based on your skin tone and concern. During your consultation at HUD Melbourne, our dermal clinicians will assess your suitability and customise the treatment parameters. Darker skin types are recommended Aerolase instead.

How many BBL Hero sessions do I need?

How does BBL Hero compare to IPL?

BBL Hero delivers 3x the speed and 4x the peak power of traditional IPL systems. It treats larger areas faster with more consistent energy delivery, making it more effective for conditions like pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular concerns.
