See your skin brighter and rejuvenated again with the Sciton BBL HEROic in San Diego, CA. Led by board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Melanie Malone, the team at Malone Facial Plastic Surgery offers advanced phototherapy treatments tailored to enhance skin tone, reduce age spots, and improve overall complexion. The Sciton BBL HEROic combines intelligent control technology with personalized care, ensuring optimal results and minimal downtime.

The Sciton BBL HEROic uses pulsed light to target a range of skin concerns by stimulating skin cell regeneration for a brighter, more even complexion.
This treatment combines the benefits of BBL (broadband light) therapy with enhanced cooling and more precise technology to provide faster treatment and more effective results. The light energy gently heats the upper layers of the skin, resulting in the production of new collagen while intelligent cooling mechanisms maintain a comfortable skin temperature during treatment. The Sciton BBL HEROic requires no downtime and is virtually painless.





Sciton BBL HEROic is a cutting-edge aesthetic phototherapy treatment and can significantly enhance the appearance of the skin as well as promote overall skin health more gently yet effectively than many other methods. By stimulating collagen production and addressing specific skin issues using innovative technological features, patients can achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion. Our San Diego Sciton BBL HEROic patients enjoy benefits that include:

“I would recommend her a million times over…”
Treatment with the Sciton BBL HEROic can provide outstanding results for those who are seeking to treat concerns such as age spots, sun damage, redness, rosacea, vascular lesions, acne, and uneven skin tone.
Ideal candidates are those who would like to see versatile skin rejuvenation and achieve an overall more even skin tone without invasive methods or extensive downtime. Those with active skin infections or lesions, severe photosensitivity, or women who are pregnant should avoid this treatment. Patients who have undergone recent tanning or who have a history of skin cancer should use caution and be sure to discuss your history with your provider in detail.
Dr. Malone and her dedicated, finely curated staff provide personalized, private care for every patient. During your consultation, we'll discuss your aesthetic goals, perform an examination of your skin in the area of concern, and decide on the optimal treatment plan. To prepare for broadband light therapy, it’s important to avoid sun exposure or use high-SPF sunscreen, stay hydrated, and avoid retinoids or other products that may heighten photosensitivity for several days.
During the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to further enhance comfort along with the built-in intelligent cooling system. Your provider will set the machine to treat your skin at an optimal level and will adjust as the system prompts throughout the treatment for ultimate precision. Usually, this BBL procedure lasts about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the treatment area.
While there is no required downtime, it is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and wear high-SPF sunscreen to protect the treated areas. With the Sciton BBL HEROic San Diego patients can typically see results within a few days to a week, with optimal results often appearing after multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart. As new collagen continues to be built, final outcomes may last anywhere from three months and beyond.
