BBL Laser in Kalispell, MT
BroadBand Light and Sciton Laser Peels at Mountain West
Broadband light (BBL) therapy is a powerful way to treat sun damage, brown spots, redness, and other visible signs of aging. At Mountain West Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, we combine BBL laser treatments with advanced Sciton technologies (NanoLaser Peel and MicroLaser Peel) to improve both the tone and texture of your skin in a single, coordinated approach.
BBL uses pulses of light energy to target pigmentation, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions, while laser peels remove dull, damaged skin cells from the surface. Together, these treatments address a broad range of skin concerns with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Each plan is custom-built around your skin type, condition, and goals, helping you achieve a clearer, smoother, more youthful appearance over time.
Broadband light (BBL) therapy uses advanced light energy to penetrate the upper layers of skin and target unwanted pigment and vessels. It’s a form of intense pulsed light (IPL), but with more precision and control.
The BBL device delivers quick pulses of broad-spectrum light, which is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin in the skin. This light energy gently heats the skin, breaking up pigment and stimulating collagen production to improve skin tone, clarity, and elasticity.
BBL is especially effective for treating:
It’s safe for a wide range of skin types and can be adjusted for lighter or darker skin tones based on your specific skin concern.
These Sciton laser peels are gentle yet effective resurfacing treatments that remove the top layer of dull, damaged skin, precisely targeting the treatment area for significant results without damaging surrounding areas.
Both peels can be layered with BBL to enhance your results and accelerate skin renewal. The combination helps trigger new collagen growth and reveal newer, healthier skin faster.
BBL and laser peels are effective for a broad range of skin conditions, including:
These treatments are suitable for most areas of the face, neck, chest, and hands, where sun exposure and signs of aging tend to appear first.
After BBL or laser peel treatment, your skin may feel warm and appear red or slightly swollen. Dark spots may temporarily darken before fading as the skin naturally exfoliates.
You’ll be asked to avoid sun exposure and follow post-treatment instructions carefully to protect your skin and support healing. Gentle skincare and SPF are essential during the recovery period. Most patients return to normal activities within a few hours (for BBL) to a few days (for deeper peels), depending on the treatment depth.
Within days, you’ll start to notice a more even skin tone, softer texture, and a brighter, healthier-looking complexion. Brown spots fade, redness softens, and pores appear smaller. Over time, as collagen production increases, your skin continues to improve in firmness and clarity.
This combination of light therapy and gentle resurfacing not only addresses existing damage; it also helps slow visible signs of aging with continued care.
At Mountain West Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, all BBL and laser treatments are performed under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeons using advanced Sciton technology.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of both aesthetic and medical skin needs, we build custom plans that deliver natural, lasting results. You’ll receive thoughtful, medically guided care in a calm, elevated setting, whether you’re treating a specific skin concern or investing in long-term skin health.

Yes, BBL can be safely adjusted for a range of skin tones. However, darker skin types may require a modified treatment plan. We'll evaluate your skin during consultation.
While many patients see visible changes after their first treatment, most benefit from a series of three to four treatments spaced several weeks apart. For ongoing skin health and long-term benefits, maintenance treatments every few months may be recommended.
We’ll design a custom treatment plan for you that balances downtime, skin goals, and your lifestyle.
Most patients describe BBL laser treatments as feeling like a quick snap, similar to a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin. A topical anesthetic is often applied before laser peels to keep you comfortable, and any warmth or tingling usually fades within a few hours. You may leave the office slightly red or flushed, depending on the depth of the treatment. This usually resolves within a few hours to a couple of days.
With proper sun protection and skincare, results can last several months. Ongoing treatments every 3–4 months can help maintain your results long-term.
Yes. Combining BBL with NanoLaser or MicroLaser Peel enhances the effects of both treatments and offers a more comprehensive approach to skin renewal.
You may notice initial improvements within a few days, with continued progress over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Yes. It’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin and maintain your results.
