The Forever Bare BBL light-based treatment therapy is used for long-term hair reduction. This device uses motion-based sensors that offer a more comfortable experience for most individuals compared to the other conventional laser or IPL treatments. Whether you are looking to eliminate peach fuzz, underarm hair, bikini-line hair, or resistant leg hair; the Forever Bare BBL hair removal treatment targets hair follicles at its roots for a smoother, longer-lasting result.
Mechanism of Action:
Photo-epilation is the process where light is absorbed into the follicle, damaging it, which helps to slow or stop future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Light is delivered in rapid, timed pulses across the skin. These pulses of light are delivered across the skin’s surface using a sapphire-tipped handpiece, which is a cooling tip to ensure comfort for the patient. Over multiple sessions, hair becomes finer, lighter, and grows back less frequently, and eventually, not at all.
