BBL Laser in Tampa

The BBL laser in Tampa features 9 wavelength filters to customize treatment to every patient’s skin concerns and skin tone. The 2 standout filters are the 532+ and SkinSmooth 640S filters, ideal for reducing unwanted pigmentation and vascular lesions.

• 532+ Filter: narrows the BBL HEROic’s light wavelengths to target unwanted brown (melanin) and red (hemoglobin) pigmentation in the skin. Unwanted melanin converts light energy into heat, breaking the pigment into small pieces. These rise to the surface of the skin and shed off.

Similarly, hemoglobin warms blood vessels, which collapse and halt blood flow. The body absorbs these unused vessels, reducing the appearance of spider veins and other vascular lesions.

• SkinSmooth 640S Filter: gently rejuvenates targeted skin for a smooth, radiant glow when used as a “final step” alongside other BBL HEROic treatments. It uses controlled light to stimulate collagen and elastin production, two proteins responsible for skin strength, structure, and elasticity. This rejuvenates the skin, refines uneven texture, and leaves your skin luminous.

Forever Clear BBL combines blue and yellow light wavelengths to treat active acne, prevent future breakouts, and improve skin quality and texture.

• Blue Light: targets and kills acne-causing bacteria to prevent future breakouts and reduces inflammation around existing acne. It also shrinks oil glands in targeted areas to minimize acne caused by excess sebum production.
• Yellow Light: minimizes the appearance of existing acne by reducing inflammation and redness. It also improves blood flow to targeted areas of the face, helping the body eliminate dirt and oils while encouraging skin rejuvenation.

Forever BARE BBL uses rapid, low-energy light pulses to remove unwanted hair and prevent future growth.

Low-strength light pulses penetrate the skin and target hair pigmentation. Hair strands convert this light into heat, damaging the follicles and halting future growth.

Forever BARE BBL is only effective during the anagen (growth) phase, when hair is firmly attached to the follicle. Because your hair follicles are all in different stages of the hair growth cycle, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions to effectively halt hair growth.

SkinTyte uses infrared light to instantly and gradually tighten skin.

Pulses of infrared light target collagen structures underneath the skin, causing them to contract. This immediately tightens the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Additional heat from these infrared pulses triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which provide the skin with strength, structure, and elasticity. Over time, the targeted skin tightens, reducing deeper wrinkles on the face, neck, and body for a more youthful appearance.

Clients seeking to address a variety of skin concerns are the ideal candidates for the BBL HEROic. With its advanced customization, we can target skin texture, tightness, and tone, minimize acne flare-ups, and remove unwanted hair with one device.

We do not recommend the BBL HEROic to clients with the following conditions:

• Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Certain immune systems disorders, such as lupus
• Certain skin conditions, such as vitiligo and porphyria
• Light-triggered seizures

We also ask clients to refrain from the following behaviors before receiving the BBL laser in Tampa:

• 6 to 12 months: Refrain from taking isotretinoin (Accutane) or blood-thinning medications, as these can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation and redness.
• 4 weeks: Avoid excess sun exposure or sunburns, which can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.
• 1 to 2 weeks: Do not use retinoids, acids, or harsh or exfoliating skincare products unless recommended by your provider.

Yes. Because we can adjust the device’s intensity and power, the BBL HEROic is suitable for skin types 1 through 5 of the Fitzpatrick Skin-Type Chart. Additionally, it’s Intelligent Control technology maps treated areas to avoid over-treating skin and automatically adjusts settings to ensure safe, effective treatment.

Darker skin tones (VI) have an increased risk of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and hypopigmentation (light spots), and require a patch test before we can schedule your appointment.

Reach out to the Erasable Med Spa team to schedule a patch test. If we advise against the BBL HEROic, we’re happy to work with you to develop an alternative treatment plan.

No, the BBL laser in Tampa should not be painful.

Most clients describe feeling a gentle warming sensation or quick snaps (similar to a rubber band snapping against their skin) during treatment. The device’s integrated CoolComfort technology and specialized sapphire tip keep the skin cool, maximizing patient comfort.

Client comfort is our priority. If you experience discomfort during your treatment, alert your Erasable Med Spa provider so they can adjust the settings.

We also offer numbing solutions. Before they begin, your medical provider can administer topical or injectable anesthetics or Pro-Nox (“laughing gas”) to minimize discomfort and anxiety.

We recommend pairing the BBL HEROic with the Moxi laser to customize your treatment and address underlying redness, age spots, and dark spots.

Because we have such a diverse range of lasers at Erasable Med Spa, we can stack and combine treatments in a way that other practices simply can’t. With combination treatments, we can simultaneously address multiple signs of aging without being limited by just one modality.
