Drs. Joel Schlessinger and Daniel Schlessinger, both board-certified dermatologists, Mohs surgeons and cosmetic surgeons, recently trained in person with Dr. Patrick Bitter, a dermatologist and pioneer in advanced light-based therapy on the newest Sciton BBL® HEROic. Read on to learn more about their experience with Dr. Bitter, the key takeaways from this course and their continued commitment to advancing their aesthetic expertise. 

Drs. Joel Schlessinger and Daniel Schlessinger attended board-certified dermatologist Dr. Patrick Bitter’s specialized training course in Los Gatos, CA focused on BBL® HEROic techniques and protocols. BBL® HEROic is a non-invasive light therapy treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to address a variety of skin concerns, including age spots, sun spots, freckles, rosacea, dullness, wrinkles and more with minimal or no downtime. 

Dr. Daniel Schlessinger explains, “Dr. Bitter is absolutely the guru when it comes to BBL and IPL procedures. He has spent thousands of hours with patients perfecting his BBL® HEROic protocols. His observations and techniques offer patients the best possible outcomes.”

This advanced hands-on course was designed to teach the unique parameters, protocols and techniques developed by Dr. Bitter over decades to effectively rejuvenate skin and deliver ideal results.

Dr. Joel Schlessinger shares, “These advanced techniques allow dermatologists to achieve outstanding results for their patients with minimal to no discomfort. When combined with other resurfacing lasers like MOXI and HALO, the results are even more impressive, often with shorter treatment times.”

During the BBL® HEROic Master Course with Dr. Bitter, Drs. Joel and Daniel Schlessinger gained experience using innovative techniques designed to elevate patient results. This comprehensive hands-on training covered new protocols, combination therapies and innovative approaches to address a range of skin concerns, from loose skin to pigmentation and acne.

Dr. Daniel Schlessinger explains, “This Master Course teaches advanced BBL® HEROic techniques, including optimizing pulse counts and treatment protocols. These insights will help us achieve better results, from reducing fine lines and wrinkles to safely treating different skin types.”

Dr. Joel Schlessinger adds, “I loved seeing combination treatments using BBL® HEROic with MOXI and HALO, which can enhance our ability to diminish fine lines, eliminate acne and achieve more youthful-looking skin. Learning to adjust protocols for skin types III, IV and V ensures we can provide safe and effective treatments for all our patients.”

Key takeaways from this Master Course include:

  • Optimized treatment protocols: Fine-tuning pulse counts and parameters for maximum efficacy and minimal discomfort
  • Safe treatment for varying skin types: Advanced techniques for safely treating skin types III, IV and V
  • Combination treatments: Leveraging BBL® HEROic with MOXI and HALO treatments to improve skin texture, tone and overall radiance
  • Body contouring and tightening: Enhanced methods for reducing wrinkles and improving skin laxity
  • Acne solutions: Innovative acne treatment strategies using BBL® HEROic for clearer, healthier skin

Ongoing education is a cornerstone of the Schlessinger MD philosophy. By participating in Master Courses like this one, Drs. Joel and Daniel Schlessinger continue to refine their skills, ensuring that every patient benefits from the latest advancements in dermatology.
