BBL Forever Young

BBL Forever Young, also known as BroadBand Light (BBL) Forever Young, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to address various signs of aging and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Broadband light technology delivers pulses of light energy to the deeper layers of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by targeted areas, such as sunspots, age spots, freckles, and pigmented lesions. It also treats skin conditions such as rosacea, acne and vascular lesions. Another benefit to this treatment is that it stimulates collagen production and even slows the aging process at a cellular level, helping to maintain a youthful, radiant complexion. With little discomfort and minimal downtime, it's a non-invasive solution for those looking to refresh and revitalize their skin for a more youthful appearance.

Benefits Include:

Rejuvenation

BBL Forever Young effectively treats a variety of skin imperfections, including sun damage, age spots, redness, broken capillaries and fine lines. It leaves the skin looking refreshed, radiant, and more youthful.

Collagen Stimulation

BBL Forever Young has the unique ability to slow down the aging process at a cellular level, promoting long-term skin health and ensuring that the skin remains youthful for an extended period. The treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to increased skin elasticity and firmness. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful texture.

Anti-Aging

BBL therapy can be customized to target specific skin concerns and areas of the face and body. The treatment parameters, including the wavelength, pulse duration, and energy level of the light pulses, can be adjusted to achieve optimal results for each individual patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • BBL Forever Young is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that utilizes broadband light (BBL) technology to address a wide range of skin issues, promoting a more youthful and vibrant complexion.

  • Broadband Light (BBL) therapy works by delivering pulses of light energy to the skin, where it is absorbed by specific target areas and chromophores (colour pigments) within the skin cells. The light energy emitted during BBL treatment is absorbed by melanin (pigment responsible for skin colour) in pigmented lesions, hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood vessels), and water in the skin's deeper layers. BBL therapy also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain the skin's structure, firmness, and elasticity. The heat generated by the light energy triggers a wound-healing response in the skin, prompting the production of new collagen fibres.

  • Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may experience a mild stinging or warming sensation, but this typically subsides quickly and is tolerated well by most patients.

  • A BBL Forever Young session can vary in duration but usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area and the specific concerns being addressed.

  • The number of sessions required varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Many people see noticeable improvement after just 1-2 treatments, while a series of sessions are recommended for more comprehensive results.

  • The results of BBL therapy can vary depending on individual skin concerns, lifestyle factors, and skincare maintenance. With proper skincare and sun protection, the results of BBL therapy can last for several months to a year or longer. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain optimal results over time.
