The BBL Body Glow by Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is one of our latest cutting-edge signature procedures for the treatment of worn and sun damaged skin throughout the entire body – quickly and effectively. The non-invasive and extremely safe treatment is powered by the BBL Hero® device that utilizes fast, low energy broadband light pulses to effectively and permanently refresh and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, dramatically improving its appearance in as little as 1-3 treatments. The procedure aids in the reduction of hyperpigmentation, sunspots, redness, small vessels, crepey texture and other common skin imperfections.
BBL Body Glow
Why Not Care for the Skin on Your Body as You Do for the Face?
BBL Hero technology safely and effectively treats all body parts including the back, chest, shoulders, arms, legs, abdomen, and hands.
The device can also be used for hair removal. Using gentle, yet effective BBL energy to heat hair follicles, the BBL is fast and painless. The result is hair removal that is quicker and more painless, while rejuvenating the skin. Treat any area of the body with unwanted hair to reveal beautiful skin and soft, silky, supple skin!
How Does the BBL Body Glow Treatment Work?
BBL Hero is an advanced broadband light therapy system that utilizes various filters to target specific skin types, conditions, and hair removal. These filters allow for customized treatments to address pigmented and vascular lesions, and uneven texture. The hair removal filter emits targeted light energy that’s absorbed the melanin in hair follicles making them dormant to regrowth. Pigmented and vascular lesions absorb the light as it penetrates triggering cell turnover and causing irregularities to breakdown and be metabolized.
The effectiveness of broadband light filters for different skin types and conditions is determined by the specific wavelengths and energy levels they emit. The device penetrates the skin with low energy light energy, stimulating skin cell regeneration and targeting various issues of sun damaged skin. Collagen restores the skin’s natural beauty by making it smoother and more vibrant in addition to evening skin color. This is a fast, multi-pass treatment that can be performed anywhere on the body and heats the tissue deep within the dermis for an overall rejuvenated effect.

Candidates for BBL Body Glow
Ideal candidates for the PFRANKMD signature BBL Body Glow treatments with BBL Hero® include individuals seeking to address issues such as sun damage, uneven pigmentation, redness, fine lines, and age spots. This non-invasive and gentle procedure is suitable for all skin types and patients with light to medium skin tones, making it an inclusive option for many.
At your consultation, your provider will ensure treatment is compatible with individual patient factors and that the results potential align with goals for enhancement. More than one treatment session may be needed depending on each patient’s individual concerns.
The BBL Body Glow Procedure
Prepare for the BBL Body Glow by avoiding direct sunlight before each session. During treatment you may feel a warm or tingling sensation that does not require pre-treatment numbing. The cooling gel used to ensure proper transmission of light energy enhances patient comfort. The PFRANKMD aesthetic practitioner will use the handpiece with the settings and filters personalized to the patient to pass over the targeted areas. The duration of treatment depends on the number of areas being treated but typically lasts 15 to 45 minutes.
Recovery and Results
Patients return immediately to daily activities after BBL Body Glow, healing is similar to a mild – moderate sunburn but one that will make your skin healthier, clearer and thicker with boosted collagen. Pigmentation and blood vessels usually appear exaggerated during the healing period but disappear within 1-3 weeks depending on the area treated. Your skin may feel smoother and appear more even and brighter within one to two weeks of your first treatment. Additional treatments are done at monthly intervals.

Aging gracefully, one spot at a time!
Did you know that our hands are often the first to reveal the signs of aging and sun damage?
We believe in preserving the natural beauty of your hands, and that’s why we’re excited to share this incredible transformation with you.
This remarkable transformation showcases the synergy of Fraxel and Pico treatments, a combination treatment designed with precision to address specific concerns.
Fraxel targets background sun damage, evens out skin tone, and stimulates collagen production. This not only enhances aesthetics but also provides long-term skin health benefits for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The Pico laser targets individual sun spots, leaving your hands looking brighter and more radiant.

The hands are often an ignored part of the body and one of the first areas to show a person’s age as they lose volume.
We naturally lose collagen, elastin, and fat under the skin which creates a skeletal appearance. The hands are also among the most exposed areas of the body, making them especially prone to sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and texture changes.
To treat aging hands, we use fillers to restore volume and lasers to improve sunspots and discoloration or a combination of both. Immediately after filler placement, tendons and veins are camouflaged and results can last up to one year. Fraxel is used to stimulate collagen and smooth texture, while targeted lasers remove pigmentation and reverse UV damage.
Hand rejuvenation requires a global, multi-layer approach. Combining resurfacing, volume restoration, and pigment correction offers long-term improvement in tone, texture, and structural support. Treatments are minimally invasive with minimal downtime and deliver significant aesthetic enhancement.

Fraxel will brighten skin, even tone, and boost collagen. Seize the moment, because fall is the best time to see the light.
By Erin Reimel @erin_reimel for @shape Shape Magazine.
As the weather cools, lasers at dermatologist offices are heating up. The main reason: This is an ideal time for a laser treatment. Right now, you’re less likely to get as much intense sun exposure, which is especially dangerous to skin post-procedure because of the skin’s temporarily weakened barrier, says Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in New York. Another potential factor?
“When patients have more flexible work-from-home schedules, the downtime that comes with a laser treatment seems doable to more people,” Dr. Frank says. There’s one laser in particular that has earned its status as the office’s workhorse: Fraxel @fraxel_us . It’s so good at evening out tone, fading scars, shrinking pores, and plumping skin that dermatologists turn to it for most of their patients’ antiaging needs. In fact, many make sure to get an annual treatment for themselves. “It’s the only device I’ve seen in my career that can do a little bit of everything effectively,” Dr. Frank says.
“Fraxel laser, is the top request when we start to see the leaves changing. I’d tell my patients to invest in a yearly Fraxel treatment over a slew of expensive antiaging products any day.”
For more on the science, the ouch factor, and the results, read on.

Annual skin cancer screenings are essential, even for those without a family history. During a comprehensive screening, your dermatologist carefully examines your entire body for any suspicious moles or lesions. Detecting skin cancers early allows for simpler, more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes.
We also discuss how UV damage and sun exposure not only contribute to premature aging but are leading causes of non-melanoma skin cancers. Before proceeding with any laser or resurfacing treatment such as Fraxel, which effectively targets and removes sun damage, it is critical to ensure skin health and safety.
At PFRANKMD, we take every precaution. Before using a Fraxel laser, we thoroughly evaluate the skin to identify and biopsy any changing or suspicious lesions. This ensures both safe treatment and optimal aesthetic results, protecting your health while restoring your skin’s natural radiance.
