What Are IPL and BBL?
If you're concerned about sun damage or dark spots on your skin, consider a BBL (broad band light) Heroic or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy consultation at The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL. These noninvasive photofacial treatment targets hyperpigmentation on the face, neck and body using intense light pulses to stimulate collagen and the skin's natural healing. The result is healthier, more even-toned skin with fewer spots.

IPL and BBL Reviews
Every service I've experienced at The Skin Care Center has been top tier! The front desk staff are kind and helpful. Each provider is patient and helpful. I would confidently recommend The Skin Care Center to anyone looking for injectables, laser skin resurfacing, facials like Diamond Glow or HydraFacial, and even weight loss! I love The Skin Care Center!
Chantel was my provider for a series of 3 BBL and Cool Peel combination treatments. She did an excellent job managing my sensitive and reactive skin. I’m very happy with my results and would highly recommend this center to anyone looking for high-quality, trustworthy skin care.
I have been coming to The Skin Care Center for a while now. I love it and would not go anywhere else. I see Lisa and have had fantastic results with Botox and BBL. She takes time and talks to me about what she thinks would be best for my skin with the kind of results that I want achieved. I see Ashley for my hydro facials. She does a great job and knows her products. Everyone is so great there from the front office to the back!
Staff was great at check in. Beautiful facility! Did one treatment with the Deka CO2 laser with Alex. She was so helpful throughout the treatment as well as explaining the aftercare needed. Can't wait to see the final results once I am healed! Five star service!!
Incredibly kind and courteous, and my laser session was over in a flash!
