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 first heard about Md Cote at a luncheon where several women talked about HRT using pellets. I had heard of pellets, yet I was nervous to try them. The office was very welcoming and super cute, which is always a plus for me. I have been on HRT for just over a year and the benefits are many. One thing I would say is it took a while to find my correct dosage so if you have tried them once and didn't see the benefit, commit to a year and hopefully you will feel as thankful as I do.

I was a loyal client for years, and bought a package laser treatment in 2023 and due to health issues advised by my doctor hold off on any treatments like these which I had provided the dr letter to the spa, they did not inform me about expiration policy the staff and the esthetician even not aware of the policy. Now they are saying I can’t use my package because it had expired.My attempts to resolve the issue were ignored. This is extremely unprofessional and disappointing. I think business is struggling and they r finding ways to make money. I would strongly caution others about paying upfront here. Please avoid this spa at any cost. Multiple unhappy clients and their reviews so stay away. I am now pursuing formal complaint. ** I completely disagree with your response. It misrepresents the facts and avoids the real issue—you accepted payment and failed to deliver the services. Not stated ever about the expiration. These treatments are not cheap if clients are aware off expirations who would have this kind of money to donate it to spa like yours. I made repeated efforts to resolve this privately, which were not taken seriously. Your reply only reinforces my concern about the lack of professionalism and accountability.

I couldn't be happier with my results. Rachel does an amazing job and my results look very natural. She listens to my concerns and gives me feedback on how they can be addressed. I am so so happy with my experience at Md Cote!

Dr Cote and assistant are great. They take time to do what you want. Lyndsey is great too! Be mindful of the small print when you sign that you understand. The person that handles that portion isn't rude, but I wouldn't make seeing her a habit.

I had an amazing experience with Mya for laser hair removal. She took the time to explain everything to me to make me feel completely comfortable. The process was painless and took six sessions with much success. The space was clean and professional and her services exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Mya if you’re looking for high-quality laser hair removal delivering great results.

I have had the pleasure of spending time with Jenna over this past year as I have received a few coolsculpting treatments. Jenna is just a beautiful person inside and out. She is so gentle, kind and easy to connect with. By the time I am ready to leave, not only have I had the best Coolsculpting session (their equipment and expertise using it is top of the line), I feel like I’ve had a little therapy session as well😊 Thank You Jenna!!

The change in management has been disappointing to say the least. After years of coming here, I can no longer support a business that profits from shady policies and doesn’t honor their long-standing clients. There are far better options for med spas than this place. I highly recommend going elsewhere with higher standards, updated practices and customer loyalty.

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!

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.
