A great candidate for Broadband Light therapy is anyone dealing with hyperpigmentation or unevenly textured skin. These conditions can be caused by sun damage, damaged capillaries, rosacea, or acne. Broadband Light therapy also helps to make the skin seem more youthful by igniting the production of collagen. Depending on the type of modality and filter used, Broadband Light therapy could be used as both a treatment and/or maintenance regimen for a wide array of skin issues. Before receiving treatment, Dr. Hanz will help you understand how Broadband Light therapy technology may help achieve your cosmetic goals.

After customizing a suitable treatment plan, the settings of the Broadband Light Therapy device will be adjusted to fit your unique needs. Before starting the procedure, your eyes will be protected from the laser with a cover. Dr. Hanz will then softly pass the laser over your skin while focusing on the treatment areas. The length of time needed for your therapy will change depending upon the issue being treated and if any other services were included in the Broadband Light Therapy procedure. Broadband Light Therapy procedures can ordinarily be finished in about an hour or less.

After the therapy, a soothing lotion will be smoothed onto your skin. Dr. Hanz may also supply post-treatment care instructions and may advise reducing your sun exposure. Otherwise, patients are usually able to return to their regular daily routine. Outcomes from Broadband Light Therapy may be noticed in 2 – 6 weeks following the initial therapy, but best results will generally be observed after multiple Broadband Light Therapy sessions. Dr. Hanz will suggest the recommended amount of procedures to receive your desired outcome.

Dr. Hanz will be able to discuss your costs during your initial consultation as soon as your Broadband Light Therapy plan is developed. Broadband Light Therapy costs will vary depending on where you want to get the treatment, the treatment area(s) size, and the number of appointments you need.
