# Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™

_IPL photofacial in Saskatoon reduces redness, sun damage, and pigmentation. Clear glowing skin at Bella Sante._

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (BroadBand Light) are both light-based treatments that target pigmentation, redness and sun damage beneath the skin's surface. While IPL delivers broad spectrum light to break up unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production, BBL takes this further with more precise wavelength control, allowing for more targeted treatment across a wider range of skin concerns. Together, they rejuvenate both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, reducing fine lines, minimizing redness, clearing [acne and rosacea](https://www.bellasanteclinic.com/treatments/acne-rosacea-solutions), and revealing a clearer, more even complexion.

## How Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™ Works

Intense Pulsed Light (BBL)™ delivers controlled pulses of broad spectrum light into the skin, converting to heat to break up pigmentation and stimulate collagen renewal deep beneath the surface.
