When most people think about skin rejuvenation, their mind immediately goes to the face. And while caring for your facial skin is absolutely important, it is only part of a much bigger picture. Your skin tells the story of your life everywhere—not just on your face. That story lives on your chest, shoulders, arms, back, and legs, too. Every sunny afternoon, beach vacation, and summer spent outdoors without SPF can leave its mark far beyond the jawline.
Let’s face it; years of sun exposure, environmental stress, lifestyle habits, and natural aging do not politely stop at the neck. And in 2026, skin rejuvenation is no longer just about looking refreshed from the shoulders up. It’s about creating healthy, luminous, evenly toned skin everywhere.
That is exactly where BBL HEROic™ comes in!
At Skin Artisans, we believe your body deserves the same thoughtful, advanced care as your face. BBL HEROic represents the next evolution of BroadBand Light technology, designed to safely, efficiently, and dramatically improve skin tone and clarity across large areas of the body, not just small facial zones. And the best part? It does it faster and more comfortably than ever before.
If you’re ready for a true full-body glow-up, BBL HEROic at Skin Artisans’ Edina and Woodbury locations makes it possible.
What Is BBL HEROic™?
BBL HEROic™ is the most advanced form of BroadBand Light (BBL) technology available today. Developed by Sciton, a global leader in aesthetic laser innovation, HEROic builds upon the proven success of traditional BBL and BBL HERO by introducing greater power, increased speed, and enhanced precision, all while maintaining exceptional safety.
What truly sets BBL HEROic apart is its ability to treat large areas of skin quickly, evenly, and comfortably. Instead of limiting treatments to the face or chest, HEROic allows your Skin Artisans certified laser technician to address widespread sun damage and uneven pigmentation on areas such as the arms, shoulders, back, abdomen, and legs; areas that have historically been difficult and time-consuming to treat.
In short, BBL HEROic was designed for patients who want meaningful, visible results across their entire body without spending hours in the treatment room.
How Does BBL HEROic Work?
BBL HEROic uses pulses of high-energy light to target pigment and vascular irregularities within the skin. These pulses are delivered at an advanced speed and power level that allows for smooth, consistent coverage of large treatment zones while minimizing discomfort.
As the light energy gently heats the upper layers of the skin, it triggers your body’s natural regenerative response. Pigmented cells responsible for sun spots and discoloration absorb the light energy and are broken down and gradually eliminated. Redness and visible vessels diminish or disappear over time. At the same time, collagen-stimulating processes beneath the surface are activated, enhancing skin texture, tone, and overall luminosity.
One of the most exciting aspects of BBL HEROic is its ability to support long-term skin health. Research has shown that regular BBL treatments can influence gene expression associated with aging, helping skin behave more like youthful skin at a cellular level. This means your results aren’t just cosmetic—your skin is being encouraged to function in a healthier, more resilient way over time.
What Does BBL HEROic Treat?
BBL HEROic is incredibly versatile and effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Sun damage and brown spots
- Hyperpigmentation, sun spots and melasma
- Uneven skin tone and discoloration
- Redness and visible blood vessels
- Rosacea, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas (red spots)
- Freckles and age spots
- Dull, lackluster skin
Because HEROic can safely treat larger areas, it is ideal for patients who have accumulated sun exposure over years, especially on commonly overlooked areas like the shoulders, upper arms, back, chest, and legs. These areas often show some of the most dramatic improvement, revealing clearer, smoother, more even-toned skin that looks healthier and more radiant.
How Is BBL HEROic Different From Traditional BBL and BBL HERO?
Traditional BBL transformed light-based skin rejuvenation by offering targeted treatments for pigmentation and redness. BBL HERO improved upon that foundation by increasing speed and comfort. BBL HEROic takes that innovation to the next level.
HEROic delivers energy faster and more uniformly than its predecessors, allowing for significantly shorter treatment times and greater consistency across large treatment areas. This makes full-body treatments not only possible, but practical. Areas that once required multiple lengthy sessions can now be treated efficiently without compromising results.
Advanced cooling and precision technology also allow our providers to tailor each treatment based on your skin type, color, treatment area, and specific goals, ensuring a highly personalized experience with minimal downtime.
Who Is a Great Candidate for BBL HEROic?
BBL HEROic is an excellent option for patients who want to improve overall skin tone and clarity across their entire body and are committed to maintaining healthy skin long-term.
Ideal candidates include individuals who:
- Have visible sun damage or uneven tone on the face or body
- Want both preventative aging care and corrective treatment
- Prefer non-invasive options with little to no downtime
- Are ready to go beyond facial rejuvenation
Because treatments are fully customizable, BBL HEROic is appropriate for a wide range of skin types, colors, and ages. A consultation with one of Skin Artisans’ expert laser technicians ensures your treatment plan is thoughtfully designed around your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals.
What Results Can You Expect with BBL HEROic?
One of the reasons Skin Artisan’s patients love BBL HEROic is that the results are both visible and progressive. Many people notice brighter, clearer skin after just one session, but the most dramatic improvements unfold over the days and weeks that follow.
After treatment, pigmented areas such as sun spots and brown spots may initially appear darker. This is completely normal and expected. Over the course of the next 7–10 days, those darkened areas naturally rise to the surface and gently flake away, revealing dramatically clearer, more even-toned skin underneath. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch years of sun damage quite literally shed away!
Redness and vascular concerns improve more gradually. Over time, patients notice diffuse redness soften, visible vessels become less noticeable, and overall skin tone looks calmer and more balanced. Meanwhile, collagen-stimulating processes beneath the surface continue to enhance texture and radiance.
And that glow? It’s real. Skin Artisans patients consistently fall in love with the smoothness, clarity, and luminosity their skin achieves after BBL HEROic. Skin looks polished, refreshed, and healthy. Many patients comment that it’s almost like their skin “woke back up!”
Because of these impressive results, many patients choose to incorporate annual BBL HEROic treatments (or a short series) into their long-term skincare plan. This proactive approach helps maintain results while addressing new sun damage that may accumulate throughout the year, making BBL HEROic a true cornerstone of skin health, not just a one-time treatment. It can also be combined, or “stacked,” with other laser treatments like MOXI™ or HALO™ to significantly elevate your results.
A Favorite Treatment for Brides and Special Occasions
BBL HEROic is also a favorite among brides, especially those wearing strapless or backless wedding gowns that showcase the shoulders, chest, and back. These areas are often prone to sun damage and uneven tone, yet they are front and center on one of the most photographed days of your life.
By treating these areas ahead of time, brides can walk down the aisle with smooth, even, radiant skin everywhere it shows—not just on their face. The result is a beautifully cohesive glow from head to toe that looks stunning both in person and in photos. It’s no surprise BBL HEROic has become a go-to treatment for weddings, milestone events, vacations, and moments when you want your skin to truly shine.
