Sun Damage and Age Spots: Why BBL HERO™ Is a Smart Fix

55-year-old woman enjoys time in the sun with good skin thanks to cosmetic laser treatments

With summer on the horizon, you probably plan to spend more time outdoors. But increased sun exposure can bring unwanted consequences, especially for your skin. If you’ve noticed sun spots, freckles, redness, or uneven tone that doesn’t fade, you may be dealing with sun damage. Fortunately, our talented MPAS at West Virginia Dermatology & Skin Surgery Center have an advanced cosmetic solution that can restore a more youthful appearance: BBL® HERO™.

How the Sun Changes Your Skin

Even if you’re diligent with sunscreen now, past sun exposure may still be catching up with you. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation breaks down collagen and disrupts your skin’s natural pigment balance over time. This leads to discoloration, fine lines, visible blood vessels, and rough skin texture, especially in areas that get the most sun, like your face, chest, shoulders, and arms.

These changes often become more noticeable after age 30, and they won’t resolve with topical products alone. That’s where professional treatment comes in.

What Makes BBL HERO™ Different?

BBL HERO™ (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is the latest advancement in light-based skin therapy. It uses pulsed light energy to gently heat the skin’s deeper layers, targeting pigment and vascular irregularities with precision. The result is clearer, smoother skin with improved tone and elasticity.

What sets HERO™ apart is its speed, comfort, and effectiveness. The handpiece treats large areas like the chest, back, or arms up to four times faster than traditional BBL devices without sacrificing results. Treatments are quick, and you can return to normal activity immediately after your appointment.

Say Goodbye to Sun Spots and Uneven Skin Tone

BBL HERO™ is especially effective for improving:

  • Sun spots and freckles
  • Age spots
  • Redness and rosacea
  • Uneven pigmentation
  • Rough texture and fine lines

You should notice brighter, healthier-looking skin after just one session, though a series of treatments often delivers the most dramatic improvements.
