At First Impressions Rejuvenation Clinic, we believe in combining cutting-edge technology with evidence-based care. Our Sciton BBL™ and Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser treatments represent the forefront of skin rejuvenation science, offering both immediate benefits and long-term skin health advantages.
The Power of BBL Technology
Recent Canadian studies highlight the importance of combining advanced treatments like BBL with comprehensive skin health strategies:
– Prevention First: With melanoma rates rising in Canada, preventive treatments like BBL can pay a supporting role in overall skin health
– Evidenced-Based Approach: Canadian research supports the use of laser treatments for both aesthetic and preventative benefits
– Comprehensive Care: Health Canada emphasizes the importance of combining treatments with proper sun protection and regular skin monitoring
BBL (BroadBand Light) technology has revolutionized how we approach skin health and rejuvenation. Here’s why it’s become a cornerstone of advanced skin care:
- Increases epidermal thickness
- Improves collagen production and elasticity
- Enhances overall skin structure
- Reduces pigmentation issues and sun damage

Recent research from the Canadian Cancer Society (2024), Health Canada (2021), UNC School of Medicine (2023) and Duke Health (2023) reveals promising findings about laser treatments and skin health. While BBL isn’t primarily designed for skin cancer prevention, it offers significant protective benefits:
1. Sun Damage Defense & Melanoma Prevention Studies

2. Laser Treatment Research:

– Focus on prevention measures and early intervention
– Emphasis on combining treatments with proper protection
3. Professional Monitoring
– Regular treatments enable consistent skin health tracking
– Facilitates early detection of concerns
– Ensures professional oversight
4. Cellular Health

– Strengthens protective functions
5. Regional Studies:
-Atlantic Canada research shows need for improved sun protection awareness
