When Sun Damage and Redness Age Your Complexion

Years of sun exposure, along with conditions like rosacea, can leave the skin with visible redness, brown spots, and an uneven overall tone. Even with a diligent skincare routine, these concerns often persist because they originate deeper within the skin than topical products can reach. At our Tysons Corner office, Broadband Light Laser Therapy offers an effective, science-backed solution to address these signs of photoaging and restore a clearer, more radiant complexion.

What Is Broadband Light Laser Therapy?

Broadband Light Laser Therapy, often referred to as BBL, uses intense pulsed light to deliver targeted wavelengths of light energy into precise layers of the skin. This light energy interacts with pigmented cells and blood vessels, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and reducing redness while simultaneously stimulating the skin's natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is a more even, radiant complexion achieved without surgery or significant downtime.

The Benefits of Broadband Light Laser Therapy

  • Reduces Unwanted Pigmentation: BBL effectively targets and breaks down sun spots, age spots, and other areas of hyperpigmentation.
  • Calms Redness and Rosacea: The treatment can significantly reduce visible redness caused by broken capillaries or rosacea.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production: BBL encourages your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, supporting long-term skin health.
  • No Downtime Required: Most patients return to their normal routine immediately after treatment, with only mild, temporary redness.
  • Improves Overall Skin Tone: Beyond addressing specific concerns, BBL creates a more even, radiant complexion overall.

Is Broadband Light Laser Therapy Right for Me?

Broadband Light Laser Therapy may be a good option if you're bothered by sun damage, redness, or uneven skin tone. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have visible sun spots, age spots, or areas of hyperpigmentation
  • Experience redness related to rosacea or visible blood vessels
  • Are looking for a treatment with little to no downtime
  • Have realistic expectations about the gradual improvement BBL provides

During your consultation at our Tysons Corner office, our team will evaluate your skin and specific concerns to determine whether BBL is the right treatment for you.

The Broadband Light Laser Therapy Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

Your provider will evaluate your skin type and specific concerns to determine your candidacy and recommend a treatment plan.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Your provider will determine the appropriate settings and number of sessions needed based on your skin and goals.

Your Results

Most patients begin to notice improvement in their skin's tone and texture within a week or two as any treated pigmentation begins to fade. Because BBL also stimulates collagen production, some benefits continue to develop gradually over the following weeks. A series of treatments is often recommended to achieve optimal results, with your provider outlining a personalized schedule during your consultation.

"I went to see Doctor Chang for a lip augmentation about a month ago. I have always had a really full bottom lip, but a super thin upper lip with not much definition. Doctor Chang used Juvederm Ultra to make very subtle changes to my upper lip, making it more defined. My cupid's bow is now visible! My lips look SO natural that many people do not even notice unless I tell them, which in my opinion is a good thing! Doctor Chang is amazing; he made the procedure painless and actually enjoyable/fun. Prior to this, I was very nervous to try lip fillers. After meeting with Doctor Chang, I realized I was nervous over nothing! I honestly could not have had a better experience."

"I'm OBSESSED!!!! Obsessed with Dr. Chang, nurse Kelly, all the office staff, but MY OH MY the RESULTS!!! Dr. Chang is a true artist! I've been telling everyone I know about him and his awesome work. You won't find a better surgeon, even in Beverly Hills! He can literally give liquid facelifts with Botox, does perfect contouring with filler, and is very conservative with his approach. You know you are in the best hands with him and his caring staff. Nurse Kelly is always available to answer questions on recovery, and you know she's seen it all, so she will even give you sound advice on the latest and greatest in products and procedures. Let me also say that I am in pharmaceutical sales, I am in and out of every single plastic surgery office all over the DMV, and this is the top practice in the entire area. The office is always busy, with super high standards, only offers the best products, and has the best-in-class surgeons. They are THE best. I would only ever trust these doctors, and Dr. Chang is ‘IT’ for me!”

"Dr. Chang used Voluma to augment my chin. The projection helped to harmonize my face and helped my side profile look even and natural. The filler was painless, the chin was a bit tender for a day or so, but nothing after that. Best investment for my face so far. Dr. Chang was very professional and made the whole appointment very relaxing and fun. Highly recommend!"

"I visited Dr. Chang to have my tear troughs (under eyes) filled. I was super scared of the potential bruising and that everyone would know I had “work done” because of it. Thanks to Dr. Chang’s gentle injections and use of numbing cream that also helped prevent bruising, I had only two little tiny dot bruises that were unnoticeable with makeup. I now look much more rested, and I’m feeling so confident. Dr. Chang started slow with just one syringe of Volbella and two weeks later with a second. This allowed us to see where I needed more after some swelling went down, so as not to overdo it. I’m really happy with the results. I’ve also had Dr. Chang do some mid-cheek sculpting with filler, and he’s done an amazing job keeping it natural but noticeable. It’s been a great experience working with him."

"I had an amazing experience with Dr. Chang! I came to his office wanting to have lip injections. Initially, I was very nervous to have this procedure done because I had a bad experience at a different clinic in the past. However, Dr. Chang was very patient and understanding, and he didn't pressure me to do the procedure if I wasn't ready. I talked with him about my concerns and also about what results I wanted; he was very friendly, personable, and really listened to me. I ended up having 1ml of Juvederm injected into my top and bottom lips combined; the procedure felt very relaxed - Dr. Chang really took his time and made sure my lips looked great and that they were symmetrical (which I appreciated). Afterward, he told me to email him the next day to let him know how I was feeling, which I thought was really kind. It's now been two weeks since having the lip injections, and I really love the results! My lips look very natural, symmetrical, with just the right amount of plumpness. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Chang for any other cosmetic procedures. He and his office staff are great, and I had a wonderful experience!"

"I am so thankful that I found Dr. Chang through Yelp. His ratings were all outstanding, and now I know why. I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and a friendly gentleman at the front desk. After a short wait, I was escorted to my room by a nurse who was absolutely the sweetest! I felt so comfortable, and all of my nervous thoughts (first timer here) just went away. After a couple of minutes, Dr. Chang came in, and we discussed what I wanted. Talk about professional and extremely personable, I cannot imagine a better experience. I'd like to point out that I didn't really have a specific look in mind - my only expectation was that I wanted to look natural, so I left it with Dr. Chang to work his magic. He guided me through my Botox and Juvederm injections and never once left me wondering about the procedure, next steps, or how to care for my new "work". It has been two weeks since I was in the office, and I cannot express my gratitude for Dr. Chang and all of his staff. It's amazing how such a minor procedure can boost your confidence. Even considering another Plastic Surgeon makes me fearful, Dr. Chang is the best of the best.”

"For my first time experiencing Botox, I am extremely happy with it! I thought that Dr. Chang took the time to sit and discuss things with me to ensure I felt comfortable, as well as the fact that he did not push or pressure me into anything at all. The nurse, Kelly, got to know me, and I felt genuinely comfortable in the office. I will definitely be back in a couple of months, and I will also look into other fillers or peels. Thank you!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chang and his staff. I was nervous about my first time getting Botox, but I immediately felt at ease upon entering the office and being greeted by the receptionist. She even accommodated me showing up on the wrong day for my follow-up appointment with no questions asked. Dr. Chang answered all of my questions and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I am extremely happy with the results of my Botox in my forehead - smooth, but still natural looking. I would highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone seeking similar services!"

"Dr. Chang removed two moles from my face, and I could not be happier with the experience or the results. I am extremely fair-skinned—small acne marks can last for years—but just a few months out from the procedure, and I have to look closely to find the tiny scars. The front office is well-run and pleasant, and the nurses put everyone at ease. Dr. Chang himself is among the nicest doctors you will ever meet - confident in his perceptions and medical advice, but not the least bit egotistical. I wish I had come in years ago (and I will certainly be back)!"

"I was very nervous to have any kind of filler used on my face. Dr. Chang's office made this experience about as wonderful as it could be. When I emailed to make a consultation appointment, I was met with an immediate reply, which was quickly transferred into a consultation. Upon my visit, I was greeted immediately and waited hardly any time at all. Finally, Dr. Chang's demeanor and attitude while seeing me were absolutely awesome. He treated me very respectfully and had a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed visiting with him during my consultation. So I decided to go ahead and get my lips filled after my consult during the same visit. It was great that they scheduled enough time to do that. So far, my lips are looking amazing, and I could not be more thrilled with the result. I'm hooked. DC is a big, intimidating area... finding professionals you enjoy working with is a big deal... especially for someone from a small town like myself. There are dozens of plastic surgeons in the area... but I am so glad I found Dr. Chang. I'm happy to support his practice and will definitely be referring anyone and everyone who asks to him."

"This is not my first experience with Dr. Chang and certainly not my last. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my lips. Dr. Chang has an impeccable eye for achieving the perfect aesthetic look. He takes into consideration my goals for the procedure and treats me with professionalism and respect. Dr. Chang used 2 syringes of Volbella. I experienced less swelling with this product compared to products I've used in the past. The product looks smooth and natural on my lips. I experienced minimal to no bruising and went to dinner the same day I had the procedure done. Dr. Chang's technique is almost painless; I only experienced some mild discomfort. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I love the way my lips look, and I love Dr. Chang."

"I met Dr. Jenny today. Being a years-long patient of Dr. Chang, it was a change for me to see a new face. She was warm, had great bedside manner, and listened to all my concerns and requests. She patiently answered all my questions. She offered excellent solutions and more than anything - I felt almost nothing — wait for it — getting lip filler. We did Botox on frontalis, globella, dao, lip flip, and crows feet. She had a very gentle hand. I’m super happy with the results and so glad to see a woman surgeon killing it here at Congressional Plastic Surgery!"
