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 see Mya and she is truly a master! She is knowledgeable in her craft and always walks me through what to expect. I had questions once after a service and she was prompt and detailed in reaching out with answers. Mya is warm, kind, patient, and I always look forward to seeing her. I highly recommend MD Cote, and Mya! The front desk coordinator Jessica is also a welcome and warm presence, always very sweet and helpful. Thanks to the whole team 💗

A few days before my wedding I had a Dermaplane and DiamondGlow facial by Mya at MD Cote. I had seen her before and she’s so sweet and nice. She described what would be happening with each step showed me the things she would be using and was just very informative. My skin literally had a glow immediately after and lasted for like a week, I swear. My skin was super glowy on my wedding day and my makeup artist even said my skin looked amazing and the makeup went on smooth. Mya was so welcoming from the moment I saw her, she’s knowledgeable, sweet, caring and really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I will be back to get more work done for sure, but I highly recommend going to MD Cote but more so recommend seeing Mya! 🤍 With the DiamondGlow, there is no downtime, if you’re worried about that. I’d just book the appointment if you have an important event and you want that extra glow, or if you just need some good self care. Sadly, I didn’t take any photos before and after but here is a photo to show how smooth and glowy my skin was on the big day! I owe it to Mya!!

I’m so glad I found Rachel! She came highly recommended by a close friend, and I couldn’t be happier that I took the leap. I’ve always wanted to try Botox, but I was honestly nervous. What I love most about Rachel is that her approach is all about enhancing your natural features with subtle, beautiful results. Her philosophy is to start slow, stay minimal, and build from a natural baseline if you choose to over time. That instantly put me at ease. Not only is her medical spa absolutely adorable, but Rachel has the best personality. She’s incredibly talented, has such an artistic eye, and is truly amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her!

I had my first appointment at Md Cote yesterday with Rachel after being referred to her by a couple of people, and my experience was amazing from the moment I walked in. First off, the waiting room is so cute I loved the decor! Michelle at the front desk was awesome and very helpful during both check-in and check-out. Rachel was also amazing. She took the time to sit down with me, listen, and make sure we were on the same page before starting. I was super nervous, but she made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

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.
