In this episode of Kairos Conversations, Taylor breaks down why BroadBand Light (BBL) is not just another photofacial—and why understanding the science behind it can completely change how providers educate, consult, and sell this treatment.

Using two key studies, including the Stanford gene expression research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Taylor explains how BBL impacts the skin beyond surface-level pigmentation and redness. The research shows that after a series of BBL treatments, aged skin began expressing genes more closely aligned with younger skin—supporting what many clinicians have seen in practice for years: patients who maintain BBL consistently appear to age differently.

Taylor also explores the long-term clinical findings from Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr. and Dr. Jason Pozner, where patients who received regular BBL maintenance over five to eleven years appeared an average of nine years younger than their actual age.

This episode gives medspa owners, injectors, and aesthetic providers a more precise and clinically defensible way to explain BBL in the consultation room. Instead of positioning it as a simple treatment for spots, redness, or “skin rejuvenation,” Taylor shows how to communicate BBL as a biologically meaningful, research-backed treatment that supports long-term skin health.
