Forever Clear BBL®
About Forever Clear BBL®
Forever Clear BBL® is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to effectively target and reduce acne. Unlike traditional acne treatments that rely on creams or oral medications, Forever Clear BBL® harnesses the power of light to address the root causes of breakouts—bacteria, inflammation, and uneven skin tone. This treatment is ideal for individuals struggling with persistent acne, whether it’s active breakouts, redness, or post-acne scars. It is safe for all skin types and tones, making it a great option for both teens and adults looking for clearer, healthier skin without the side effects of harsh chemicals or antibiotics.
How it works
Forever Clear BBL® works in a three-step process, utilizing different wavelengths of light to deeply cleanse and heal the skin. First, blue light is used to penetrate the skin and destroy acne-causing bacteria at the source, reducing breakouts and preventing future flare-ups. Next, yellow light is applied to calm inflammation and redness, helping to soothe irritated skin and promote faster healing. Finally, infrared light gently heats the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging cellular regeneration. This step helps to improve overall skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and support long-term skin health. With consistent treatments, Forever Clear BBL® not only clears active acne but also enhances the skin’s natural ability to heal itself, leading to a smoother, more even complexion.
