One of the benefits of choosing Dermatology Associates is our ability to tailor our anti-aging options to our patients’ needs. That’s because we offer a range of laser skin resurfacing and wrinkle removal treatments, including BBL HEROic at our Rochester, NY, practice, serving Brighton, Fairport, Webster, and beyond. BBL HEROic Forever Young an advanced, customizable treatment that addresses our most common patient skin concerns, such as brown spots, red spots, and discoloration, without surgery.
The technology behind the BBL HEROic laser skin rejuvenation treatment differs from other light-based procedures in that it goes beyond repairing damaged skin to make changes at the molecular level that reinvigorate skin cells. That’s why it’s important to have board-certified dermatologists and physicians perform and supervise BBL treatments. At Dermatology Associates, we pride ourselves on understanding the science behind each treatment so that we know which procedure is best suited for individual patients.

BBL is short for broadband light. The treatment delivers light energy that penetrates both the skin’s outer and deeper layers. These underlying layers are where most of the skin’s aging occurs, and BBL is the only device that precisely targets the molecules associated with aging.
BBL HEROic is a more advanced broadband light platform. It is known for a more customized treatment experience, efficient delivery, and a comfortable approach for patients seeking visible improvement with minimal disruption to daily life.
With BBL we have the ability to treat virtually any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. A series of treatments is often needed to produce the best results. We may recommend using Forever Young BBL to treat the following conditions:
BBL treatments require no downtime, and you can resume most activities immediately after the procedures. Depending on your goals, we may recommend combining BBL with other procedures, such as HALO® Tribrid™ laser skin resurfacing and Sofwave™ skin tightening. It’s also a good idea to shop for skincare products to maintain your results.
The cost of BBL laser skin treatments depends on the specific concerns and cosmetic goals of each patient. When you come to Dermatology Associates for a consultation, we’ll provide a quote for your procedure.

We established Dermatology Associates of Rochester to provide quality, compassionate medical and cosmetic skincare and plastic surgery services in a boutique setting where patients felt like part of an extended family.

Meet the TeamThe number of treatments needed to produce the desired outcome varies for each patient. Many patients see results after a single treatment, but we recommend maintenance treatments to keep your skin looking youthful.
We can use BBL to effectively treat most skin types, including darker skin.
Yes! BBL treats a wide range of skin conditions and increases collagen production, which helps rebuild your skin’s structure.
BBL is a popular procedure because it’s versatile and delivers fast, excellent results. Not only does BBL correct skin imperfections like acne and discoloration, but it also helps reduce many common visible signs of aging.
Most BBL treatments use the same Sciton BBL pulsed light platform, but they use different wavelengths, filters, and adaptors to achieve different goals. With BBL HEROic, we make multiple passes over your skin at a low energy.
Laser skin rejuvenation and laser skin resurfacing both accomplish a similar objective—to repair and refresh the skin. Resurfacing treatments aim to smooth and tighten the skin, improving skin quality and texture. Laser skin rejuvenation also addresses concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation — usually with less downtime than laser skin resurfacing. Our team will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the best laser treatment.
