Forever Clear BBL is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne. BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL (intense pulsed light) device, which delivers light energy deep into your skin to stimulate and regenerate your skin cells, leaving you with clear, healthy and radiant skin.
What is BBL™ Forever Clear for Acne?
We are excited to offer the BBL™ Forever Clear treatment for teens and adults who are tired of struggling with persistent acne. This innovative treatment uses three different types of broadband light, the most powerful type of intense pulsed light, to target acne-causing bacteria and overactive sebaceous glands that contribute to breakouts. In addition to reducing or eliminating the factors that are behind those frustrating breakouts, broadband light also stimulates the regeneration of healthy new skin cells, promoting prolonged results.
What are the Benefits of BBL™ Forever Clear?
Acne is a frustrating problem that can be difficult to bring under control using the most common methods. The BBL Forever Clear treatment is advantageous because it uses precise, proven energies to target the cause of your breakouts; bacteria. Other solutions clean the skin and wash or wipe away excess oil, but broadband light gets deep into the pores, where acne first begins. In addition to reducing active acne, BBL Forever Clear can reduce pore size and make it more difficult for acne-causing bacteria to thrive in hidden places. There is very little downtime associated with this treatment. You may be able to go right back to your normal activities immediately after your appointment! If you do develop side effects, they should be limited to minor inflammation and redness that last no more than a couple of days. You can disguise these subtle side effects with makeup if you'd like.
How Many BBL™ Forever Clear Treatments Will I Need?
The BBL Forever Clear treatment involves three distinct steps. After cleansing the skin of surface debris, your provider will start targeting the bacteria that causes acne by administering blue BBL light. The light permeates the pores and destroys the unhealthy organisms that create inflammation. The device is then switched to yellow BBL light, which calms redness and inflammation. Finally, the skin is treated with quick pulses of infrared light to promote a strong healing process. The treatment can take about an hour for larger areas, and as little as 30 minutes for smaller areas.
You can expect to begin seeing an improvement in your skin after just one BBL Forever Clear treatment. However, depending on the severity and persistence of your acne, your provider may recommend that you schedule four or more sessions, one a week, to achieve the best possible results.
Are BBL™ Forever Clear Results Permanent?
Broadband light, delivered through the BBL Forever Clear applicator, works on the bacteria, oil, pores, and other factors that contribute to acne. These factors don't go away completely. They're brought under control for some time. Because your skin will always have some amount of bacteria, oil, and debris, you might experience inflammation or breakouts again in the future. Fortunately, it's easy to schedule touch-up BBL treatments as needed to keep your skin healthy and glowing!
What Type of Acne Does it Treat?
Multiple studies have shown that broadband light is a safe and effective treatment for nearly all cases of acne. This treatment can be performed on minor blemishes and enlarged pores or active cystic or hormonal acne. In each case, the use of multiple forms of light addresses the various factors that contribute to breakouts and inflammation.

BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device delivering light energy deep into your skin to stimulate and regenerate your skin cells, leaving you with clear, healthy, radiant skin.

Recovery Expectations
Most patients can wear make-up and resume normal activities immediately following treatment. Typically a series of treatments is recommended for optimal results (i.e. 6 treatments 2 weeks apart). You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light for approximately 2 weeks after each treatment, and you must avoid direct sunlight during this time. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
