HOW SCITON BBL WORKS

Sciton BBL works by delivering precise pulses of BroadBand Light energy into the skin, gently heating the targeted areas. This light energy is absorbed by pigmentation, redness, or vascular lesions, helping to reduce discoloration and restore even skin tone. At the same time, the heat stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over time. The result is clearer, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime—making BBL a favorite choice for both corrective treatments and ongoing skin maintenance.

I just had my very first facial ever, and I can honestly say it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire treatment was relaxing, professional, and surprisingly rejuvenating. Mya explained each step and the process. I will definitely be back soon! Thanks Mya!

I love this place! Their people are amazing, answering questions, making suggestions, making you feel comfortable and relaxed. They offer amazing products that work and their services are tops! They don’t try to sell you on services you don’t need. In fact, I had a consultation for a particular service and the technician explained why it was not necessary and would not give me the results I was looking for. Instead she suggested a product that could help. Wow! A place that doesn’t try to take you money. The other services I really enjoy and see results are the micro needling , peal, laser, and Botox. The micro needling vanished a dark spot on my face after one treatment. Obviously results will vary but for me it only took one but I had a second treatment done anyway 😊Amazing! The laser treatments take time obviously, but I noticed a difference in some areas after the first. Can’t wait to see the final results. The Botox really helps with my headaches and of course fine lines. 😉 They also offer discounts thru Alli and have promotions throughout the year. Another plus!

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent appointment I scheduled via email. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was informed that no appointment was on record and staff were unsure how this occurred. I had made arrangements and taken time off work specifically for this appointment, as I was very much looking forward to being seen. Given the inconvenience and lost time, I would appreciate discussing whether compensation for a portion of my time is possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Coolsculpting for entire days at a time, seemed more like a spa or vacation day, than a procedure day. Jenna was the best and most professional provider I have ever worked with.

Rachel is amazing and the absolute best. She has great recommendations, awesome bedside manner. She only recommends what will be the best for the client and I always trust her opinion and feel safe in her hands. The only improvement I wish- the waiting room is SO BRIGHT now 😩 I liked it before. The new super light pink paint and super bright LED’s kill the vibe.

This clinic is truly wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mya, Jenna, Lyndsey, Julia, and Dr. Cote, and they take the time to understand your goals, walk you through every option, and make sure you feel confident in your decisions. Their execution is so seamless and precise it almost feels unreal. Jessica and Michell are equally amazing—always greeting you with genuine warmth and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. The entire team is not only highly professional, but also makes you feel like you’re among friends. I couldn’t recommend them more!

I just received the diamond glow facial from MD cote. It was my first facial. I loved the experience. I felt pampered as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone is so warm and professional. My esthetician listened to my skin concerns and recommended that we start with hydration and work our way up to microdermabrasion and different serums in the future because it was my first. I appreciated the questionnaire that asked about my skin tone and sun sensitivity. Jenna was warm, friendly and had a natural flow of conversation. I felt very comfortable with her. My skin looked amazing afterwards and my pores were so clear! (she even showed me all the gunk that came out at the end haha) highly recommend getting your facials here.

Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about BBL, its benefits, and what to expect during treatment.

Sciton BBL (BroadBand Light) is an advanced light therapy treatment that improves skin tone, reduces pigmentation, and stimulates collagen for healthier, more radiant skin.

All three treatments use light to target pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging, but Sciton BBL is the most advanced technology of its kind. Traditional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Photofacials treat discoloration and improve skin tone, but BBL delivers more precise, customizable wavelengths with greater power and consistency. This means BBL can address a wider range of skin concerns, stimulate more collagen, and provide faster, longer-lasting results compared to standard IPL or Fotofacial treatments.

BBL can treat nearly any area of the body affected by sun damage, redness, uneven skin tone or acne. At MD Cote our most popular treatment areas are face, neck, chest & hands.

Yes. BBL is FDA-cleared and considered one of the safest and most effective light-based skin treatments when performed by trained professionals. All of our Master Aestheticians have extensive BBL training and regularly attend continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest advances in settings to deliver you the safest, most effective results.

Most patients achieve best results with a series of 3–5 treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions to keep skin clear and youthful.

Patients describe the sensation as a quick “snap” of light with mild warmth. With the addition of topical numbing cream, there is almost no sensation during treatment. Treatments are generally well tolerated and require little to no downtime.

Some improvements are visible after the first session, but results continue to build as pigmentation fades and collagen production increases over several weeks.

BBL is great for patients with sun damage, redness, pigmentation, or early signs of aging who want smoother, clearer, more radiant skin without major downtime.

Yes! Combining treatments, or treatment stacking, is very popular and gives even greater results. Our most popular BBL treatment stack at MD Cote is combining Sciton BBL with Sciton Halo. This is a powerful treatment that not only evens skin tone by removing brown spots and redness, but also improves pore size, skin texture & fine lines.

There is little to no downtime. Some patients experience mild to moderate swelling. Brown spots may darken before flaking off, and mild redness may occur but typically resolves quickly.

With proper sun protection and maintenance treatments, BBL results can last for months to years. Many patients schedule regular treatments to maintain long-term skin health.
