BBL – Filler

BBL (BroadBand Light) and dermal fillers solve two different problems, which is why they are so often planned together at Lux Medical Aesthetics in Richmond Hill. BBL is a light-based treatment that works on the surface of the skin: sun damage, brown patches, diffuse redness, enlarged pores and dull texture. Fillers work under the skin, replacing the volume that the face loses with age in the cheeks, temples, lips, chin and jawline. Treating only one layer usually gives half a result. Skin that is smooth but flat still looks tired, and volume under uneven, pigmented skin still looks older than it should.

A typical plan starts with a consultation in our Yonge Street clinic. We assess your skin type, the amount and depth of pigmentation, your facial proportions and your medical history, then set the order of treatments. In most cases the light sessions come first so that tone and texture settle, and the filler appointment follows once the skin has calmed. A BBL session usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes and feels like a warm snap against the skin. Filler appointments are shorter and are done with topical anaesthetic. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with some redness or mild swelling that settles within a few days.

Aftercare matters as much as the appointment. Sun protection is essential after any light treatment, and we will tell you exactly what to use and for how long. Results are not permanent: light treatments are usually repeated in a series and maintained, and hyaluronic acid fillers gradually break down over months. Outcomes differ from person to person, and nobody can promise a specific result in advance. Products used in Canadian clinics are regulated by Health Canada, and any Ontario physician can be verified with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

If your main concern is volume alone, see dermal fillers. For fine lines caused by movement, Botox is often added. For hydration and glow, ask about Jalupro and Profhilo or PRP and mesotherapy, and when skin has begun to sag, an Aptos thread lift may suit you better.
