What to expect

Your Sciton BBL treatment journey

The existing page notes that treatment is generally well tolerated and that aftercare and timing depend on the concern and treatment area.

1

Before treatment

Avoid sunburn, tanning beds and tanning lotions before treatment. Skin that is actively sunburned should not be treated.

2

During treatment

Protective eyewear is worn and a gel is applied. A topical anaesthetic cream may be used beforehand if needed for comfort.

3

Immediately after

Mild redness and swelling may occur for several hours. Pigmented areas may temporarily look darker straight after treatment.

4

Following weeks

Darkened spots may flake off over the next 1–2 weeks, with skin tone improvements becoming more visible as the skin settles.

Results develop gradually. The page notes that many patients need time for redness and swelling to settle, and that full visible effects may take around a month after treatment.

  • Some concerns may require several sessions

  • Skin can feel temporarily sensitive, similar to mild sunburn
  • Results vary from person to person
