IPL refers to a broad spectrum device that is good for treating brown and red spots on the skin. BBL is a brand of an IPL device. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Usually a combination is needed to treat brown spots including lasers with microneedling/prp and peels. Best, Dr. Emer
IPL or intense pulsed light is a device that utilizes a broad spectrum of light to address brow and red pigmentation in the skin. The quality of the result will depend on the operator of the machine and the quality of the device. We use a Palomar Icon, which is a powerful IPL device and we have seen very good results in treating telangiectasias and brown spots. BBL represents broad band light, and is manufactured by Sciton, but is also considered a very good device.
