Photofacials & Photorejuvenation Treatments in Ann Arbor, MI
Your skin is designed to absorb light. While sunlight encourages bone density and the production of vitamin D, too much UV radiation can leave your skin spotted, rough, and wrinkled. Thankfully, what one form of light causes, another form of light can repair. At Ganger Dermatology, our BroadBand Light therapy (BBL) tackles numerous, tough-to-treat imperfections for tighter, brighter, more uniform skin in Ann Arbor, Wixom, and Plymouth, MI.
Powerful Bursts of Healing Light
Your skin, hair, and eyes all receive their color from melanin—a naturally-occurring pigment produced by your body. But different colors absorb light at different rates (think: bright and dark towels at the beach). Thanks to the difference in pigmentation between your skin and common blemishes (age spots, sun spots, freckles, warts), it’s entirely safe and possible to eliminate hyperpigmentation without harming the surrounding skin.
BroadBand Light therapy (also called intense pulsed light therapy or photorejuvenation) works by delivering powerful bursts of light to break apart blemishes and supercharge collagen production. These light bursts can also close or scatter surface veins for an overall reduction in redness and rosacea. Improved skin texture, a uniform complexion, and the faster healing of new and old scars also result from BBL therapy.
By destroying blemishes permanently and encouraging a lasting uptick in collagen production, BBL therapy can correct or improve everything from old acne scars to fine lines and wrinkles in a single sitting.

Benefits of BroadBand Light Therapy
BBL FAQs
Thanks to a stark difference in color between blemishes and your natural skin, BroadBand light therapy can permanently destroy most instances of hyperpigmentation.
Light is absorbed by darker pigments at higher rates, resulting in a sudden burst of localized heat. This heat scatters the individual, discolored skin cells which are then processed out of your body by the lymphatic system. Once destroyed, these blemishes will not return in the same position or form as before—period.
To learn more about how BBL therapy eliminates hyperpigmentation, call Ganger Dermatology at (734) 344-4567 or find an office near you.
You should notice obvious improvements to skin texture, tone, tightness, and fine lines/wrinkles within two weeks of your last BroadBand light therapy treatment. Individual blemishes may take up to four weeks or longer to fade completely, but within half a month, you should notice a drastic reduction in brown and red spots. Tighter skin, and smoother skin with less prominent fine lines and wrinkles should also become apparent.
Blemishes destroyed through BroadBand light therapy should stay gone for good. That does not mean, however, that new age spots and sun spots won’t occur in the future. The collagen-boosting effects of BBL treatments should endure for upwards of four months or longer, resulting in tighter, smoother, and faster healing skin. In just a 10-15 minute treatment session, you can look and feel your best for half a year or longer!
