FOREVER YOUNG BBL
BBL is the world’s most powerful Intense Pulse Light (IPL) device on the cosmetic market. It sets new standards in treating skin conditions associated with pigment, sunspots, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. BBL has the capacity to promote dermal renewal, reverse sun damage and treat vascular lesions!
How the Procedure Works
Achieve significant skin improvements non-invasively with BBL. This photo rejuvenation treatment uses a broad band spectrum and infrared light to selectively heat multiple layers of the skin superficially and deeply. BBL can target superficial pigmentation such as sunspots and freckles and stimulate the regeneration of cells more deeply, improving fine lines and taking years off the face, neck, and chest – often after just one treatment.
What The Procedure Feels Like
At the start of the procedure, there will be a light layer of gel applied to the treated area to cool the skin and to make it more comfortable. During the procedure you will feel some heat and a light snapping sensation followed by a little tingling on the skin.
Who is a good candidate
BBL is not safe or suitable for darker skin tones since the light energy targets melanin in the skin. In light and medium skin tones, there is just small amounts of melanin, however in darker skin, the melanin is more concentrated making BBL unsafe for the skin to absorb the light energy.
number of treatments
Usually 3-6 sessions are recommended for optimal results and spaced out 4 weeks apart. Multiple sessions are usually required especially for clients who maintain an active lifestyle outdoors. Trying to repair and correct years of sun exposure may require a minimum of 3 sessions. Maintenance is required continuous exposure to free radicals such as air pollution and UV radiation.
What To Expect Immediately After Treatment
Immediately following treatment, the treated areas will be slightly pink and blotchy with some mild swelling and tingling sensation. Individuals may experience a darkened appearance where sunspots and pigmented areas may turn darker temporarily and will gradually fade or flake off in the next 5-7 days.
when to expect results
Results start to become apparent after 1-2 weeks where the skin will become visibly brighter and more radiant. The full result of the treatment and decrease in pigmentation and improved skin tone will be apparent after 3-4 weeks.
