What is Forever Clear BBL®?
Forever Clear BBL® is a non-invasive, light-based acne treatment that uses three different wavelengths of light to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and redness, and support the skin’s natural healing process. The treatment uses blue, yellow and infrared light in three steps to help improve active breakouts and promote clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Who is an ideal candidate?
Forever Clear BBL® may be suitable for teens and adults experiencing active acne, including inflammatory breakouts and acne-related redness. It can treat areas such as the face, neck, chest and back. A consultation with an ODC provider will help determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin type, concerns and treatment goals.
How do I prepare?
Before your treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning, including self-tanners. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products on the treatment area. Let your provider know about any medications, topical acne products or skincare ingredients you currently use, as some may need to be temporarily adjusted before treatment. Your provider will review specific preparation instructions with you.
Is there any downtime?
Forever Clear BBL® requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. Some temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth may occur and typically settles within a few hours. Following treatment, it is important to protect your skin from sun exposure and follow your provider’s recommended aftercare instructions.
How does it feel?
Forever Clear BBL® is generally very comfortable and requires no anaesthetic. During treatment, you may experience a gentle warming sensation or mild snapping feeling as the light is delivered to the skin. The advanced cooling technology helps keep the skin comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long does a treatment take?
Forever Clear BBL® is a relatively quick treatment, typically taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Larger treatment areas, such as the chest or back, may require additional time.
When will I notice results?
Some patients notice an improvement in their skin within 5 to 7 days following treatment, with continued improvement over time. For optimal results, a series of treatments is generally recommended, with the number of sessions depending on the severity of acne and individual skin concerns. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
