Light therapies are recommended by Dr. Morris and Dr. Howell to minimize wrinkles and remove unwanted blemishes such as pigment, blood vessels, and pre-cancerous lesions (actinic keratoses). The Center for Dermatology offers both the BLU-U and the BBL.

 
     
 

Broad Band Light (BBL) Therapy

These light treatments are non-invasive and offer therapy for the following:

  • Rosacea
  • Unwanted pigment
  • Wrinkles
  • Spider veins
  • Hair removal
  • Birthmarks (vascular)

BBL therapy uses high intensity pulses of visible light to selectively destroy the undesired condition while preserving the integrity of the surrounding skin. Several treatments may be necessary to acheive the desired effect. Treatment protocols vary for specific lesions and individuals. Drs. Morris and Howell recommend a personal consultation to formulate your customized BBL sessions. Side effects and expectations will be discussed at your appointment.

Blu-U

The Blu-U Light Therapy not only improves wrinkles and acne, it also is designed to treat pre-cancers and some skin cancers without surgery. Please ask one of our dermatologists about this treatment option.
