Why Fall & Winter Are the Best Times to Start BBL Treatments

As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine especially if you’re considering BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy.

At Pittsburgh Aesthetics, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“When is the best time to start BBL treatments?”
Our answer? Fall and winter are hands-down the ideal seasons to begin your skin transformation journey.

Here’s why colder months are the perfect time to book your BBL sessions:

 1. Less Sun Exposure = Safer, More Effective Results

BBL works by using light energy to target pigmentation, sun damage, and other skin imperfections. But here’s the catch: BBL-treated skin is extra sensitive to UV exposure.

During the fall and winter, when you’re naturally spending less time in direct sunlight, the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation significantly decreases.
This means:

  • Better results
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Shorter downtime

 2. Repair Summer Skin Damage

After months of sun exposure, your skin may show signs of:

  • Sunspots and freckles
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines
  • Redness or broken capillaries

BBL therapy is one of the most effective treatments to reverse summer sun damage, stimulating collagen and restoring a more youthful, even complexion just in time for the holidays.

3. Cooler Weather Makes Healing More Comfortable

Post-treatment, your skin might feel warm or slightly sensitive. Colder weather helps keep inflammation and discomfort minimal. Plus, you’re more likely to wear protective layers (scarves, hats, long sleeves), which naturally shield your skin while it heals.

4. Start Now, Glow Later

BBL isn’t a one-and-done treatment it often works best in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. By starting in fall, you’ll be well on your way to radiant, refreshed skin just in time for:

  • Holiday events
  • New Year’s parties

5. It’s the Perfect Time to Pair with Other Treatments

Colder months are ideal for combining BBL with other medical-grade skincare treatments, like:

  • Microneedling
  • Chemical peels
  • At home skincare routine

These combinations can amplify your results safely and effectively when sun exposure is at a minimum.
