A
breakthrough study by dermatologist Dr Anne Chang from Stanford University published
in the Journal of Investigative
Dermatology (November 2012) shows that Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments
can restore the gene expression of aged human skin to more closely resemble
young skin. The study supports the hypothesis that regulators of ageing can be
altered in human skin using BBL technology to promote a functional change,
rather than just a cosmetic mimic of youthful appearance. BBL treatments promote
the appearance of a more youthful and rejuvenated skin at a molecular level,
besides the clinically visible decrease in redness, pigmentation, pores and
fine wrinkles.
An
additional study by renowned dermatologist Dr Patrick Bitter Jr. from California
published in Cosmetic Dermatology
(February 2013) journal takes this ground breaking research further and
explores the practical application and patient results of BBL treatments. The
results showed that participants who underwent regular treatment with BBL over
a period of up to 11 years looked noticeably younger than their actual age. Although
their treated skin actually aged a median of 9 years, participants appeared to
have aged a median of minus 2 years. A
series of initial treatments followed by regular maintenance treatments once or
twice a year can reduce and delay the long-term signs of skin ageing such as
sun damage, capillaries, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin laxity in a
natural-looking way.
4
things learnt from patient observations of BBL:

Patients, no matter what age, experience the anti-ageing benefits of BBL
3.
Treated skin anywhere on the body (eg. face, neck, chest and hands) shows the
same anti-ageing benefits
4.
No risks have been observed to having numerous FotoFacial treatments with BBL
