What is Forever Young BBL?
Forever Young BBL is a light therapy technology used to reduce the signs of aging, sun damage, and redness. Through this treatment, patients can achieve a younger, rejuvenated appearance, more even skin tone and texture, and radiant skin.
How long is the treatment?
Treatment time will vary depending on the area being treated. If you wish to have a full face Forever Young BBL treatment, your treatment will be approximately 20-30 minutes.
Will there be any downtime after treatment?
There is a small amount of downtime with this treatment. Pinkness after treatment is common for the first few hours following treatment but may last up to a few days for those with more sensitive skin. Pigmentation will darken, become more prominent, and then gently flake off during the recovery process over the course of 14 days.
If needed, you will be able to safely apply makeup after the treatment if you wish to conceal any pinkness.
What do I need to do to prepare for treatment?
You will want to avoid being in direct sunlight for at least two weeks prior to your appointment and will also need to avoid direct sunlight for 2 weeks following your treatment.
If you are using any products with retinol, discontinue using them 5 days before your treatment. You will be able to resume usage of those products after your skin has recovered from treatment and is no longer sensitive.
What will my aftercare look like?
Following your treatment, you should use a calming cleanser and moisturize daily until your skin is no longer sensitive. Be sure to apply sunscreen with an appropriate SPF and wear a hat if you are going to be outside.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart and the number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient. Most patients need at least 3 treatments, and we encourage treatment even after pigmentation and redness subside to help stimulate collagen production and improve long term anti-aging results.
Am I a candidate for Forever Young BBL?
If you are pregnant, have metal implants, or have melasma, you will not be considered a viable candidate for Forever Young BBL treatment.
