Forever Young BBL treats a range of skin changes caused by sun exposure and increasing age, resulting in clearer, smoother, younger-looking skin.

How does Forever Young BBL work?

It works by:

  • Directing extremely bright light in wavelengths absorbed by pigmented (i.e. brown and red) structures such as age spots, angiomas and capillaries.
  • Warming the skin and triggering a skin repair response.

What are the effects of treatment?

Forever Young BBL has beneficial effects on:

  • Freckles, age spots and brown pigmentation.
  • Fine capillaries (blood vessels) and generalised redness.
  • Fine winkles.
  • Loose and lax skin.

Laboratory studies examining skin cells treated by BBL have shown that they share gene expression characteristics with much younger cells – literally rejuvenation at a cellular level!

How it's done

The dermal therapist or nurse guides the BBL handpiece over the treatment area systematically, while it emits pulses of light, about once per second. Several passes are completed, and the total treatment time is usually 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated.

For best results, we recommend a series of 4 treatments, about 4 weeks apart. One or two top-up treatments per year can maintain a youthful appearance into the future.
