BBL Heroic™

Rejuvenation From Head to Toe in Lakeway, TX

There are countless photorejuvenation treatments on the market, but not many can boast of treating large areas, on the whole body, within minutes. BBL® HEROic™️ is that one revolutionary new treatment that can rejuvenate your skin from head to toe.

Aging can affect more than just the face. Years of sun exposure can create dull skin with dark spots on the neck, chest, arms and back. Weight fluctuations can lead to loose and sagging skin. All these changes can affect your confidence levels. At Wink Medical Aesthetics, we want to help you feel good in your own skin. That’s why we offer this treatment to our patients in Lakeway, Austin, Bee Cave and nearby communities.

Besides being one of few photorejuvenation treatments to effectively and quickly treat large areas of the body, BBL® HEROic™️ is also clinically proven to work while requiring no recovery period.

What Is BBL® HEROic™️?

BBL® HEROic™️ is the next generation of photorejuvenation. Photorejuvenation treatments use specific wavelengths of light to heat the skin just enough to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production. The result is a more refreshed appearance with diminished dark spots, a more balanced skin tone and reduced skin laxity.

BBL stands for BroadBand Light™, the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) technology on the market. HEROic is the next-generation evolution of HERO, featuring critical upgrades in precision, intelligent control, and customized treatment delivery. The technology was developed by Sciton, a leading manufacturer of energy-based medical aesthetic devices.

This system was developed to deliver the renowned benefits of BBL™ better and faster. Thanks to its efficiency, treatment can be delivered nearly anywhere on the body within minutes and with minimum recovery period.

How BBL® HEROic™️ Works

BBL HEROic delivers non-wounding light energy — no resurfacing required. Instead, it gently heats deeper layers of the skin, stimulating natural skin renewal and collagen production from within.

As the skin gradually heals, it becomes tighter, brighter and more even. The science behind BBL goes deeper than surface-level results. A Stanford University School of Medicine study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, found that BBL treatments can shift the gene expression of aged skin to more closely resemble young skin. Of the aging-related genes studied, the majority showed expression patterns that moved toward a more youthful state after treatment. This points to a real biological change in the skin, not just the appearance of one. Clients can expect diminished wrinkles, more radiant skin and an overall youthful look.

What sets BBL HEROic apart is its powerful and advanced technology. It introduces two landmark upgrades: Intelligent Control™ (IC™), which continuously monitors and adjusts energy delivery in real time for safe, consistent results across all skin types; and the Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™), which uses motion-tracking to ensure every pulse of light is precisely delivered — eliminating gaps, overlaps, and uneven coverage. The result is a faster, more customized treatment with exceptional accuracy.

FAQs

What Makes BBL® HEROic™️ Different?

BBL HEROic provides the benefits of BBL® but with greater efficiency. Its efficiency is why it can be used to treat large areas of skin within a couple of minutes and with minimal risk. In comparison, other treatments are lengthy, requiring multiple sessions and longer recovery. What truly sets HEROic apart is its intelligent technology: Intelligent Control™ automatically adjusts energy delivery mid-treatment for consistent, safe results on every skin type, while the Skin Positioning System™ tracks handpiece movement to ensure precise, even coverage every time.

What can I expect during my BBL® HEROic™️ treatment?

Treatment is well tolerated, as your provider glides the BBL® HEROic™ handpiece across your skin, you should feel only gentle warmth. The whole procedure is over in about 15 minutes. Afterward, your skin may have a sun-kissed warmth for about an hour — then you’re good to go.

How soon will I notice BBL® HEROic™️ results?

You will notice results within a week after treatment. Your skin will look more even, lighter and smoother, with minimized appearance of dark spots, uneven tone, and visible breakouts.

How long will my BBL® HEROic™️ results last?

You can expect your results to last for years, especially if you receive additional treatments spaced a couple of months apart. A healthy lifestyle and a good skincare routine will also help you maintain your results from this treatment longer.

Is BBL® HEROic™️ safe for dark skin?

Yes! BBL HEROic was designed to work on a wide array of skin tones and types. Its predecessors were not suitable for darker skin due to the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation with some forms of intense pulsed light therapies. BBL HEROic’s Intelligent Control technology makes it even more adaptable — adjusting energy levels in real time to ensure safe, effective treatment for a wider range of skin tones.
