Photofacials are often associated with fading sunspots and redness, but BBL Forever Young goes further by using advanced BroadBand Light technology to support smoother, clearer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
At Jeffrey C. Dawes, MD, FRCSC, Plastic and Dermatologic Surgery in Calgary, AB, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey C. Dawes brings 17 years of post-secondary education and extensive aesthetic and reconstructive training to skin rejuvenation treatments.
How Is BBL Forever Young Different From a Traditional Photofacial?
Traditional IPL photofacials commonly use light pulses to address visible pigmentation and vascular concerns. BBL Forever Young also uses light energy, but the Sciton BBL platform offers precise settings that allow treatment to address several aspects of skin aging in one session.
The treatment uses an integrated sequence that can:
- Target unwanted pigmentation, including sunspots
- Reduce the appearance of small visible blood vessels and redness
- Improve uneven skin tone and texture
- Deliver deeper heating to stimulate the skin
- Help make pores appear less noticeable
This makes BBL Forever Young useful when several skin concerns are contributing to an aged or uneven appearance.
What Makes the “Forever Young” Treatment Unique?
One of the most interesting differences is the research behind long-term BBL treatments. Published research has examined how BroadBand Light may influence gene expression in aged skin, with treated skin showing gene-expression patterns resembling younger skin.
Research has also explored the visible effects of maintaining regular BBL treatments over several years. This makes Forever Young BBL particularly appealing when your goal is not simply to correct an existing spot or patch of redness, but to maintain healthier-looking skin as it continues to age.
What Is Treatment and Recovery Like?
BBL Forever Young is non-invasive and requires little interruption to your routine. You may notice temporary redness after treatment, while pigmented spots can initially darken before gradually fading or flaking.
Most people require a series of treatments, with the practice typically recommending about three to four sessions for optimal results. The exact number depends on your skin and the concerns being treated.
