Sun exposure, redness, brown spots, and uneven tone can gradually make your complexion look less clear and vibrant. BBL Skin offers a noninvasive way to target these visible concerns with controlled light energy, helping your face look brighter, more even, and refreshed.
At The Spa at West Glen, BBL treatments are customized around your skin and the concerns you want to improve. The practice has served West Des Moines for more than 20 years and provides personalized aesthetic care focused on helping patients achieve healthier-looking skin with confidence.
What is BBL?
BBL delivers light energy cleared by the FDA for treating pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, acne, and hair reduction. It gently heats the deeper layers of skin, prompting damaged cells to produce new collagen, which helps give skin a healthy, youthful appearance.
This versatile technology uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to treat a wide range of skin conditions.
A consultation with our licensed aesthetician staff is required before booking a BBL service at the Spa at West Glen.
BBL Skin Aftercare
Best treatment for reducing brown and red spots. BBL Forever Young is the ultimate treatment for building collagen and treating pigmentation.
After your treatment, you can expect to be red/pink. Brown spots will darken over the next 24 hours, then gradually exfoliate over the next 5-7 days. You may experience some minimal swelling for a day or two after the treatment.

Candidates for BBL Skin
BBL Skin may be a good option if discoloration, visible redness, or sun damage is affecting the clarity of your complexion. Your skin type, recent sun exposure, medical history, and specific concerns all help determine whether light-based treatment is appropriate.
You may be interested in BBL if you want to improve:
- Brown or sun-related spots
- Freckles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Facial redness
- Small visible blood vessels
- Signs of photodamage
- Dull or uneven-looking skin
A consultation is required before scheduling to determine whether you are a candidate.

Potential benefits include:
- Reduced appearance of sun spots and age spots

For patients interested in ongoing rejuvenation, Forever Young BBL can also address visible signs of aging and sun damage, including freckles, age spots, redness, and small vessels.

Why Choose The Spa at West Glen for BBL Skin
BBL treatments require more than selecting a setting and applying light to the skin. At The Spa at West Glen, a consultation with a licensed aesthetician is required before treatment, allowing the team to evaluate your pigmentation, redness, sun exposure, and overall skin condition before developing your plan. Team members such as Carol have specific experience with BBL and complementary treatments, including EXION RF microneedling, MOXI, chemical peels, and customized facials.
Having several skin-rejuvenation technologies available also means your plan does not have to rely on BBL alone. Depending on whether your primary concern is pigmentation, texture, laxity, or a combination of these issues, the team can help determine whether BBL alone or a complementary treatment strategy makes the most sense for your complexion.
