The holiday season comes with gatherings, photos, and a whole lot of glow-pressure.
At Wilmington Dermatology Center, patients across Wilmington, Raleigh, Leland, Carolina Beach, and Holly Ridge are turning to two powerhouse treatments, BBL (BroadBand Light) and CoolPeel CO₂ resurfacing to refresh dull winter skin and reverse sun damage from the year.
This month, we’re breaking down why these treatments pair so beautifully, what results patients can expect, and why December is the perfect time to begin.
Why BBL Is a Winter Essential
BBL is one of the most effective ways to correct visible signs of aging and sun damage. It uses targeted pulses of light to treat:
- Brown spots
- Redness & rosacea
- Sun damage
- Broken capillaries
- Uneven tone
Patients love it because there’s minimal downtime, and results build gradually with each session—making it a favorite before family gatherings and holiday photos.
Why winter is the best time for this treatment: Reduced sun exposure means safer treatments and better outcomes. Your skin is simply easier to manage this time of year.
CoolPeel: The Modern CO₂ Resurfacing Treatment
CoolPeel is a fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment that:
- Smooths fine lines
- Improves texture
- Reduces pore size
- Softens acne scarring
- Brightens overall tone
Unlike traditional CO₂, CoolPeel uses advanced technology to deliver impressive resurfacing with dramatically less downtime.
Most patients experience only a few days of light redness—nothing like the weeks-long healing of earlier CO₂ lasers.
Why They Work So Well Together
BBL clears the canvas. CoolPeel refines it.
Combining them (often staged a few weeks apart) creates a powerful one-two punch:
- BBL decreases pigment and redness
- CoolPeel smooths skin’s texture
- Patients achieve clearer, brighter, healthier skin faster
It’s one of our most-requested winter pairings, especially among individuals preparing for events or wanting a fresh start before the new year.
What Patients Are Saying This Season
