Rejuvenation Treatment with the Power of Light

Only your doctor knows for sure.

Skin Secrets Cape Coral, FL

Forever Young BBL™ is a skin rejuvenation treatment using a type of Intense Pulsed light or IPL called BBL which stands for broad band light. While similar to a laser, broad band light is multiple wavelengths of light instead of just one, allowing different conditions to be treated at the same time. This type of treatment is commonly referred to as a FotoFacial and the device used is an IPL or BBL.

BroadBand Light

So, what is new and why all of the buzz about BBL instead of plain old IPL?

For many years it has been established that a Fotofacial using an IPL in a series can help eradicate sun damage, age spots, and red veins. The Forever Young BBL™ treatment is a unique protocol developed by Dr. Patrick Bitter in a study out of Stanford University, using the BBL to send light energy deep into the skin with possible age defying benefits. Studies have shown that regular skin maintenance using the Forever Young BBL™ protocol can show the added benefit of delaying future skin aging as well as rejuvenating the skin with each treatment. Such signs of skin aging include skin laxity, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and rough texture. According to the study, “The treatment may help to boost your body’s own natural rejuvenation processes, leading to visibly younger looking skin, year after year.”(1) In aesthetics our main goal is to correct the visible  signs of aging as they appear, and maintain the results as much as possible. However, the idea of slowing down the aging process can be just as desirable

The Fotofacial using an IPL has been relatively contraindicated in darker skin types due the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation.  However, the Forever Young BBL™ protocol can be adjusted for skin types IV and even V to help delay the signs of aging. This revolutionary procedure can now possibly benefit even more people of color.

Optimal results for maintaining healthy skin and delaying skin aging require four full treatments each year, timed on a quarterly basis. Minimal to no down time is the average patient’s experience. Slight swelling and redness is possible, but resolves in a few days, and make-up can be worn in 24 hours.

Forever Young BBL & Forever Young BBL + treats a wide variety of conditions. For skin rejuvenation, Forever Young BBL removes age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels and more. Forever Young BBL can also be used to reduce unwanted hair and control active acne. All areas of the body can be treated.

Forever Young BBL+ is a proprietary multi-pass approach to treating aging skin.  The 3-4 pass procedure addresses the signs of aging on all levels of the skin.  From visible pigment using the 515 nm filter to the deeper 800st filter, Forever Young BBL has an integrated step.
