BroadBand Light (BBL) is an innovative light-based therapy from Sciton, a world leader in laser aesthetics. It’s a completely non-invasive treatment that can be completed in under an hour with no downtime.
Similar to Intense Pulse Light (IPL), the BBL is able to target a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots, dilated facial blood vessels and unwanted hair. Both BBL and IPL are less aggressive than laser skin resurfacing. Treatment is often described as painless, and patients experience little or no downtime.
Forever Young BBL™
Forever Young BBL from Sciton is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy, targeting the signs of aging and sun damage. The result effectively provides a more refreshed, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance. This treatment is backed by scientific evidence from the Dermatology Department at Stanford University. Results have been published in leading Dermatology Journals.
BBL HERO®: The Swiss Army Knife of Aesthetic & Cosmetic Systems
BBL HERO® (High Energy Rapid Output™) from Sciton is revolutionary technology added onto the BBL® handpiece, ensuring Forever results are quickly delivered anywhere on the body.
BBL HERO® is regarded as the most powerful intense pulsed light device on the market, treating the face and larger areas of the body such as back, arms, and legs in as little as five minutes. Popular skin conditions treated with this device include:
Acne
Pigmented lesions (freckles, age spots)
Hair removal
BBL™ Photofacial – What to Expect
Practically any area of the body can be treated with BBL. The most popular areas are the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands. Our plastic surgeons perform BBL Photofacial procedures in our outpatient cosmetic treatment center at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD.
The BroadBand Light energy is delivered to the skin through a special device, gently heating the upper layers of skin. As the heat is absorbed, it stimulates the production of collagen in skin cells. Over the following weeks, the skin will gradually improve in tone and texture, taking on a natural, more youthful appearance.

I have had the extraordinary opportunity to work alongside Dr. Ambro and Dr. Chappell for nearly two months as I finalized my studies as a physician assistant. From the moment I entered the premises, I was welcomed with warm smiles and open arms, this is not always the case as a student in a new environment. The office is immaculate and the staff is well trained and very capable.
Dr. Ambro has an unparalleled bedside manner with his patients and it is evident that he is adored and revered by his peers, staff, and patients alike. His attention to detail is uncanny. Dr. Ambro brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table that is equally matched by humility and character. He makes each patient feel as though he/she is his ONLY patient and is attentive to concerns and questions. He anticipates patient’s apprehensions and is well prepared for discussions. His pre-operative and post-operative instructions are well outlined and are among the most thorough I have seen throughout my education and career. He is truly a jack-of-all-trades and a MASTER of them all. He is your “go-to” for everything above the clavicles and offers a multitude of non-surgical rejuvenation treatments including, but not limited to laser services, fillers, and Botox with dramatic, yet natural results.
Dr. Chappell is an integral part of the team and focuses on breast augmentation and reconstruction, as well as, body contouring and minimally invasive body sculpting among other procedures. As a student observing many consults and interactions with patients, I was very impressed with Dr. Chappell’s ability to navigate sensitive subjects. He spends adequate time with each patient addressing each unique concern and makes a stressful experience a very pleasurable one. It is not always easy to converse about ones “defects”, yet he does so gracefully and with humility. Dr. Chappell is very amicable and went out of his way to welcome me and make me feel as though I was part of the team. I have met students with whom he has worked and my experience was echoed. On a final note, I was very impressed with Dr. Chappell’s drive to learn new information. His desk was filled with articles, journals, and notes about new procedures and new developments in his field of medicine. He is well informed and stays ahead of the times. He will not disappoint!
