Forever Young BBL is an intense pulsed light treatment used to reduce age spots, sun damage, redness and broken capillaries. Light is absorbed by pigment and by the small blood vessels near the surface, which breaks them down so the body can clear them over the following weeks. A session takes 30 to 60 minutes, needs no anaesthetic, and most people go back to normal activity the same day.
It works on discolouration rather than texture or laxity, so it is usually done as a course of treatments with maintenance sessions once or twice a year. Research on this device has reported changes in the expression of genes associated with ageing, though that is early work rather than a claim you should choose treatment on. Where the concern is lines and texture instead of pigment, a resurfacing treatment such as microdermabrasion addresses a different layer, and a consultation can establish which fits.
Forever Young BBL is an advanced skin revitalization method harnessing Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. This treatment effectively smooths fine lines and wrinkles, tightens loose skin, and diminishes the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and other visible signs of aging. It’s a transformative solution for achieving a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Forever Young BBL is suitable for a wide range of individuals who wish to address concerns such as:
Age and sun spots
Small facial veins
Freckles
Redness
Small blood vessels
Rosacea
Acne
Aging skin
Loss of firmness
Because the light targets pigment, it works best on lighter skin and carries more risk on darker skin tones, where it can cause burns or leave patches of altered pigment. Anyone with a deeper skin tone should ask specifically whether IPL is the right technology for them, or whether a device such as Lumecca or a non-light option suits their skin better. A test patch is a reasonable thing to request either way.
Forever Young BBL delivers light energy deep into the skin using a specialized BBL (Broad Band Light) device. This energy gently heats the upper layers of the skin, stimulating the regeneration of skin cells in the targeted areas. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, smoother, and more youthful. This treatment is the sole procedure known to alter the expression of genes linked to the aging process, leading to a more youthful appearance when performed regularly.
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. During a Forever Young BBL session, the BBL device is used to deliver light energy to the treatment area.
The time required for a Forever Young BBL treatment varies depending on the areas being treated. Typically, treatments take 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
Forever Young BBL involves minimal downtime. After the treatment, patients can typically resume their regular activities immediately. While some individuals may experience mild discomfort, there is no need for a recovery period.
Patients can expect to see results within a few days to a week following their Forever Young BBL treatment. However, it is important to note that the treatment may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
With regular Forever Young BBL treatments, results can last indefinitely. After the patient’s initial treatments, it is recommended to schedule maintenance sessions at least 1 to 2 times a year to maintain their rejuvenated skin.
The cost of a Forever Young BBL treatment can vary greatly, depending on the area being treated and the specific treatment plan. In Canada, prices typically range from $450 to $3,100.
While most individuals experience little to no side effects from Forever Young BBL, there is a small risk of developing adverse reactions. Potential risks may include:
Blistering
Excessive scabbing
Scarring
Hyperpigmentation
Bruising
