While we are not aware of any head-to-head studies, BroadBand Light (BBL) is a high-quality, enhanced IPL modality that uses polychromatic, non-coherent, continuous light waves from the visible to the infrared spectrum, which is known for its safety, high skin-coverage rate, and minimal recovery time. Compared with IPL alone, Sciton’s BBL Dry Eye Treatment uses continuous pulsed light in the red and infrared spectrum to provide more evenly distributed heat to the skin and subcutaneous tissues; and this heat generated from continuous pulsed light has a two-fold effect in improving MG structure and function. First of all, because the melting point of meibum is higher in patients with MGD, Sciton’s BBL Dry Eye Treatment can stimulate MGs by making meibum less viscous, thereby promoting outflow. Secondly, heat from BBL Dry Eye Treatment reduces harmful bacteria and Demodex mite infection in the eyelids and ocular surface, and limits inflammation and obstruction of MG orifices. Sciton’s BBL Dry Eye Treatment delivers more evenly distributed energy and heat, without compromising safety. Furthermore, Sciton’s BBL has a wider range of spot sizes and filters, which allows for targeted treatments and a better safety profile for darker skin types.
