What is the suggested time between BBL Treatment and CO2 Laser?

Question

Hello! I'm getting Broad Band Light twith a BBL Hero device , and two weeks later have a CO2 laser scheduled (not fully ablative). Is that enough time between those specific treatments? I have to get them two different places so no opportunity to combine. Thanks!

Hello, Generous452337! I'm Landry - a medical aesthetician at Shah Facial Plastics/Aesthetic Skin Chicago and Winnetka, IL. I'm here to help discuss with you the timeframe between both treatments for BBL Hero and a CO2 laser.

Two weeks between a BBL Hero treatment and a CO₂ laser is sometimes okay, but for most people it’s a little quick. Even though BBL is non-ablative, your skin still needs time to fully calm down before we do something stronger like CO₂. Most providers prefer closer to 3–4 weeks between the two, just to reduce the risk of extra redness, pigmentation issues, or delayed healing.

Since your CO₂ laser is at a different clinic, make sure to let them know exactly when you’re getting the BBL and how your skin is reacting afterward. They can decide if your skin is ready, or if it’s better to give you a bit more time.
