What is BBL Clear?

Find your new level of clear skin with Forever Clear BBL. This broadband light therapy helps reduce acne breakouts and fade post-acne marks without medication or downtime. Forever Clear BBL is a phototherapy acne protocol that uses a three‑step light wavelength approach to address active acne and its after‑effects. Blue BBL is a specific modality used in this multi-step skin rejuvenation process to target acne-causing bacteria.

This skin treatment utilizes advanced pulsed light technology delivered by a specialized device, such as the BBL HEROic handpiece, to achieve effective results with minimal discomfort. The three steps include:

  1. Blue Light: Penetrates deep into the pores and targets and eliminates acne‑causing bacteria within the skin. Blue BBL uses light to eliminate bacteria and help clear your skin.
  2. Yellow Light: Uses pulsed light to reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne lesions.
  3. Infrared Light: Applies infra red light to initiate the body's natural healing process, heats sebaceous glands to regulate oil production, and stimulates collagen formation, aiding in scar reduction and enhancing overall skin rejuvenation.

The treatment works by using light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and light to reduce inflammation, promoting clearer, healthier skin. It also stimulates your skin cells to regenerate, improving the appearance and health of your skin.

Forever Clear BBL can be tailored to address different skin conditions, making it a versatile skin treatment for concerns such as acne, pigmentation, redness, and scarring.

During the healing process, the body's natural healing is initiated, supporting skin regeneration and recovery after treatment.

How Forever Clear BBL Works

The Forever Clear BBL treatment harnesses the power of broadband light to deliver a revolutionary approach to acne treatment. Unlike traditional methods, Forever Clear BBL is a non-invasive solution that uses advanced light therapy to target the root causes of acne and promote the body’s natural healing process. This innovative treatment is designed to eliminate acne causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and redness, and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.

The process begins with blue light, which penetrates deep into the pores to eliminate acne causing bacteria—one of the primary triggers of breakouts. By targeting these bacteria directly, Forever Clear BBL helps to prevent new blemishes from forming and supports clearer skin. Next, yellow light is used to reduce inflammation and acne associated redness, calming the skin and evening out skin tone for a more radiant complexion. The final step involves infrared light, which gently heats the skin to initiate the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of acne scars over time.

Forever Clear BBL is suitable for a wide range of skin types and is effective for both teens and adults dealing with active acne, hormonal breakouts, or adult-onset acne. The treatment is comfortable, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild “rubber band snap” or gentle warmth on the skin. With Forever Clear BBL, you can expect to see a reduction in inflammation, fewer breakouts, and a noticeable improvement in the appearance of acne scars and skin texture.
