BBL HERO is capable of efficiently treating the face and larger areas of the body such as the back, arms and legs in two to five minutes. BBL HERO delivers four times the speed, three times the peak power and two times the cooling of traditional IPL.

FOREVER YOUNG BBL PHOTOFACIALS

We also proudly provide a special type of age defying BBL treatment known as Forever Young BBL™. As part of a long-term beauty regimen, Forever Young BBL photofacials have been clinically proven to reveal dramatically younger-looking, more supple and more evenly toned skin. A retrospective study at Stanford University discovered that routine BBL treatments over a period of years can literally change the molecular structure of skin cells, causing them to behave more like younger cells. To enjoy these age-defying benefits, we recommend incorporating BBL HERO photofacials into your regular skin care routine.

FAQs: BBL HERO, Forever Young BBL & Forever Clear BBL in Mill Valley, CA

What happens during a BBL HERO photofacial?

You will rest comfortably while we apply a soothing, clear gel to your face, which helps your skin absorb the light energy. The BBL device is handheld and easy to maneuver as it administers a bright beam of BroadBand light to your skin. This intense light stimulates your skin’s natural healing response while also breaking up common pigmentation irregularities like age spots, freckles and sunspots. We will carefully target every area of concern, going over certain areas more than once, if needed.

What happens during a Forever Young BBL photofacial?

Forever Young BBL refers to a special setting on the BBL device that stimulates your skin to grow vibrant new collagen and elastin. The Forever Young BBL treatment involves administering several passes of the BBL wand over your target areas, enabling your skin’s optimal absorption of the stimulating light energy.

What happens during a Forever Clear BBL photofacial?

Step 1: Skin is first treated with blue BBL light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria at its source, deep down in the pores.

Step 2: Skin is then treated with yellow BBL light to reduce the inflammation and acne-associated redness, giving you healthy, luminous skin.

Step 3: For added benefit, the skin is then treated with SkinTyte II™ using infrared light in rapid, gentle pulses to initiate the body’s natural healing process.

We typically recommend a series of treatments for your best results, as well as a skincare regimen to keep your skin clear for the long term.

Does a photofacial hurt?

A photofacial is a well-tolerated treatment, but it may cause temporary discomfort during treatment. BBL photofacials bathe skin in bright light, which can cause a sensation similar to snapping a rubber band on your skin. This feeling will immediately dissipate once the BBL light has stopped.

How long does a photofacial take?

BBL HERO photofacials are an ideal “lunch time” treatment because they can be performed in mere minutes, depending on the size and number of treatment areas. BBL HERO can treat larger areas of the body, including the face, back and legs, in as little as two to five minutes!

Is there any downtime with a BBL photofacial?

There is little to no downtime, depending on your skin and the intensity of your treatment. Most patients may experience temporary redness. Since the skin remains intact and is not broken, you can safely reapply makeup after your treatment, if desired.
