Target sun damage, age spots, brown spots, rosacea-related flushing, and broken capillaries using advanced broadband light therapy designed for precise pigment and vascular lesion correction.
Promote clearer, more even-looking skin through controlled non-ablative light energy that stimulates collagen remodeling and gradual photorejuvenation.

At Marie Hayag MD on the Upper East Side, BBL HERO treatments are performed under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist to ensure appropriate energy calibration, safe application, and proper patient selection.
While BBL HERO IPL is non-invasive, it remains a medical procedure requiring expert evaluation. Incorrect energy settings can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in diverse skin tones. Physician oversight ensures that pigment correction is performed safely and effectively.
Each patient begins with a comprehensive skin assessment evaluating:
Because broadband light interacts with both melanin and hemoglobin, precise wavelength selection and energy calibration are essential to achieving safe and effective results across diverse skin tones. Treatment parameters are then customized to optimize results while minimizing risk. This physician-led model differentiates our Upper East Side dermatology practice from medspa-based IPL services.
BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) is an advanced form of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. Unlike traditional IPL devices, BBL HERO delivers broadband light therapy more efficiently, allowing faster treatment sessions with enhanced comfort and precision.
The light energy selectively targets:
The body’s natural processes gradually clear damaged pigment and vascular irregularities, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin.
BBL HERO is a non-ablative light-based treatment, meaning it improves skin tone without disrupting the surface layer of the skin and typically involves minimal downtime.
BBL HERO IPL may be used to address:
Because patients often experience cumulative sun exposure, BBL HERO is commonly selected as part of a long-term skin health and prevention strategy.
Suitability is determined during a physician consultation.
Every BBL HERO treatment begins with a personalized consultation in our New York City office. Dr. Marie V. Hayag evaluates skin tone, pigment distribution, vascular involvement, and medical history before selecting appropriate energy settings.
Patients often describe the sensation as mild warmth or a quick snapping feeling.
Downtime is minimal, allowing most patients to return to daily activities shortly after treatment.
