You may briefly feel a warm sensation that some describe as a &#8220;rubber band snap&#8221; sensation. This is the light being absorbed by the targeted areas. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes to a half an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure performed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theartofplasticsurgery.com\/drwiener\/\">Dr. Wiener<\/a> or our licensed Medical Aesthetician will discuss all of your options with you.<\/p>\r\n<p>The procedure is gentle, non-invasive, and safe. Most patients experience some redness and swelling. The skin in the treated area will begin peeling in 2-3 days. It should resolve in a week.<\/p>\r\n<p>In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities immediately. However, you will be sensitive to ultraviolet light so be sure to use a strong sunscreen and to cover treated areas when going outdoors.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/contact\/\">Contact us for more information on Broad Band Light<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a role=\"button\" href=\"\/procedures\/\" target=\"_self\"> <button> Back to Procedures <\/button> <\/a><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is BBL?
