“BBL targets the tone of your skin while other treatments focus on texture–that’s why BBL and MOXI work so well together. BBL specifically targets pigment, freckles, age spots, broken vessels, and rosacea using customizable filters, while being gentle enough that no numbing is required.”
–Jill Hill, Nurse Practitioner

What Sets BB Aesthetic & Wellness Apart
Our practice goes beyond just performing treatments–we focus on optimizing your entire healing process. We bundle medical-grade skincare with our procedures, specifically the ALASTIN brand, which is designed for pre- and post-procedural care. Our 3D facial scanner helps evaluate skin health and hydration as part of our comprehensive consultation process. We also offer healing optimization through supplements like NAD+ peptides that help with mitochondrial energy production and recovery. Our multi-modal approach means we don’t just do one treatment–we combine BBL with other services like facials, MOXI, and Halo treatments in single sessions to maximize results. Our integrated approach sets us apart from other providers in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions About BBL in Columbus and Cincinnati
Does BBL hurt and do I need numbing?
No numbing is needed with our BBL® HERO™ technology. The advanced cooling technology keeps skin cool during the procedure, minimizing discomfort and eliminating the need for numbing cream in most cases. At your consultation at BB Aesthetic & Wellness, we’ll explain exactly what to expect during treatment and address any comfort concerns you may have.
What skin types can safely get BBL treatments?
BBL treatments are safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. For darker skin types (V-VI), we cannot perform regular BBL as it can cause hyperpigmentation, but the Forever Clear acne treatment is safe for all skin types. Our team will assess your skin type during consultation using our 3D facial scanner to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach for your specific skin tone and concerns.
How long is the downtime after BBL?
BBL facial pigment can take 7-10 days to fully flake off and heal, while body treatments can take 7-14 days. You may experience some redness and swelling initially, but downtime is very manageable. We provide comprehensive post-care instructions and medical grade skincare products to optimize your healing process and ensure the best possible results.
Can I get BBL if I have a tan or tattoos?
You should avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, spray tans, and tanning beds before treatment. If you have tattoos, BBL cannot be performed over the tattooed areas as it targets pigment and could damage the ink. However, you can still receive treatment on other areas. Our providers will work with you to develop a treatment plan that works around any tattoos while still achieving your skin goals.
How many BBL treatments do I need?
Most people see results after one treatment, though the change may be subtle initially. For acne treatments, you typically need 4-6 sessions. For general pigmentation and skin tone improvements, a series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart provides optimal results, followed by quarterly maintenance sessions. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation and adjust it based on your progress and goals.
Can BBL be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! We frequently combine BBL with other services like MOXI, Halo, and hydrating facials in single sessions for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. We can also do BBL and MOXI treatments together to address both tone and texture concerns simultaneously. Our multi-modal approach allows us to customize combination treatments based on your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Treatment Payment Options
BBL therapy is an elective cosmetic treatment not covered by traditional insurance plans. We welcome HSA and FSA payments for all BroadBand Light services, including our Forever Clear acne treatments. Flexible package options are available to maximize your results and provide cost savings. Our staff will ensure you receive comprehensive documentation and receipts for your HSA/FSA administrator or any required reimbursement processes.
