BBL Forever Young
Turn Back Time
Forever Young BBL is recognized worldwide to provide consistent outstanding results. Clinically proven, it turns back the clock by addressing the visible signs associated with aging skin.
How it works:
Forever Young BBL is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy targeting the signs of aging and sun damage and effectively provides a more refreshed, rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Forever Young BBL removes age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels and more. Forever Young BBL reaches deep into the cell and activates certain genes associated with youth, while turning off other genes tied to aging. As a result, you create more of the kinds of proteins and other building blocks you had when you were younger. New skin cells are actually programmed to be younger, giving you beautiful, youthful skin.

What do treatments feel like?
Your comfort is our priority. Your eyes will be protected with safety shields. Usually, there is no need for a topical anesthetic; however, your clinician may choose to use one when treating more sensitive areas. You may briefly feel a warm or quick snapping sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas.
​
-
Burning, redness, warmth, and a sunburned sensation are normal responses following BBL treatments
-
The discomfort and redness generally last 2-4 hours after the procedure
-
Brown patches or spots will look darker and more pronounced immediately following BBL treatments
-
In 2-3 days, these brown areas become even darker and frequently feel scaly like coffee grounds on your skin. Within 1-2 weeks, these dark, scaly areas fall off and leave new, healthy skin behind. No matter how tempting, do not pick or scrub these brown spots. Let them come off on their own
-
Some patients will wake up with facial swelling, particularly around the eyes for several days following the treatment. This is normal and usually resolves within 3-5 days.
*Notify us of any concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, etc.)
​
*If you are new to this treatment, please book a "Spot Treatment" at least 24 hours before your appointment (72 hours for skin type 5). We will spot test to ensure you do not negatively react.
How to prepare for my appointment?
You should avoid excessive sun exposure 1-2 weeks before the treatment. Tanned skin is a contraindication prior to treatment. Its best to avoid the use of retinols Glycolic and salicylic acid 7 days prior to treatment and 7 days post treatment. Wait at least 7-10 days after receiving any cosmetic injections such as Botox and 2 weeks after receiving any fillers. You should avoid excessive sweating from exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and very hot showers for 24 hours post treatment. There is still heat from the laser in your skin so this can cause irritation. Wearing SPF 30 or higher everyday, reapplying every 2 hours is what we recommend not only to maintain treatment results but it is also the best protection from premature aging.
When should I expect results?

FUN FACT!
Ground-breaking research performed at Stanford University shows that BBL influences gene expression and changes skin at a molecular level. The study showed that literally hundreds of genes that are known to be associated with younger skin were activated while others, associated with aging, were turned off. But that’s not all. A long-term clinical study showed that patients who received regular BBL treatments over the course of a decade were judged by doctors to appear 11 years younger than their actual age at the study’s end. In other words, they looked younger than when they started the study!
