Bryan Johnson uses a BBL device with multiple wavelengths to treat sun damage across his whole body. A small Stanford study found the treatments shifted skin toward younger gene expression. Johnson says the therapy has eliminated most of the damage from a shirtless childhood.
We started using this device. This is BBL, also known as IPL, intense pulsed light. And there's different wavelengths. There's 515, 695, 800, 640. And we started doing full body treatments. There was a small study at Stanford that showed that it changed the genetic expression of skin to be dramatically younger. It wasn't a big enough study that gave us a huge amount of confidence, but enough where we're like, you know what? Let's play with this. So we started doing whole body, and it was basically effective at eliminating a bunch of the skin damage, because I never had a shirt on when I was growing up. As a kid, I was always burned and tanned on my upper body. And so I had a lot of skin damage on my face and my upper body. And so I basically got my skin back to the majority of that skin damage being gone.
