The BBL by Sciton treatment is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy targeting the signs of aging and sun damage and effectively provides a more refreshed, rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Unlike lotions and creams, the technology can reach the deepest layers of your skin, which is where most of the aging process happens.

The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. This corrective process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, making it clearer, smoother, vibrant and younger looking.

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.

BBL is the only device that has been shown to change the expression of genes associated with aging, longevity, and increased lifespan. With regular BBL treatments, your skin will look clearer, smoother, and much younger.

The Power of Pre Treatment 

At Well Medical Arts we require that all clients pre condition their skin with our recommended skin care to achieve optimum results prior to any series of BBL (Broad Band Light) or other light based treatments. The SkinCeuticals’ Brightening Skin System includes everything for most of our pigmentation clients to properly pre condition their skin and is included in all of our BBL packages. This pre conditioning of the skin improves the health of the skin, enhances it’s photo immunity properties and lets us give you a safer, more predictable and effective treatment.

SkinCeuticals’ Brightening Skin System is a four-step regimen that combats the appearance of discoloration and skin tone unevenness.

SkinCeuticals’ Brightening Skin System includes:

• Phloretin CF (30 ml): A antioxidant serum that improves the health of the skin, lifts hyperpigmentation and builds collagen and elastin.
• Discoloration Defense (30 ml): Lifts pigment and reduces inflammation.
• Retinol 0.5 (30 ml): A light exfoliant that helps speed up skin cell turnover, exfoliating the skin so the light can penetrate which makes the treatment more effective.
• Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 (50 ml): A block and broad-spectrum sunscreen that prevents sun damage and keeps the skin safe in between treatments.

Tip: Retinol is photosensitizing—using broad-spectrum sun protection is a must when retinol is part of your skin care regimen. As a precaution, retinol products should not be used by pregnant women, or women who intend to become pregnant in the near future. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, some problems have been reported with ingested retinoic acid.

NOTICE! Retinol should be discontinued for 7 days prior to any BBL, light based treatment or chemical peel.

6 Layers of the Skin require 6 BBL’s to get the best results

The reason we recommend a series of 6 BBL treatments is that we are targeting all 6 layers of the dermis. We target each layer of the dermis individually to ensure we get the pigment out of each layer. This helps decrease the chance of pigment returning and makes your results last longer. For best results we recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart followed by 6 month maintenance treatments.  Lear More about the 6 layers of skin

Don’t forget your hands!  Hands are often the most overlooked and most sun damaged area of your body. The BBL treatment is an awesome treatment to minimize the sun spots that age your hands.

What to expect during your BBL treatment experience. 

Your Forever Young BBL treatments will be done in the privacy of one of our treatment rooms. No anesthesia is necessary for this procedure, but you will need to wear protective eyewear. The appointment will consist of covering the treatment area with a cooling gel, placing the handpiece against your skin, and delivering precise pulses of light energy to heat the upper layers and stimulate the production of fresh collagen.

You may feel a slight stinging sensation while the treatment is being administered. Most of our clients tolerate the procedure very well. Your entire appointment will take between 30 and 45 minutes, and you will be free to return to work and resume your normal daily routine right away.

We recommend ongoing BBL sessions to obtain optimal results and preserve your new, youthful look. The exact number of appointments will vary depending on individual patient needs. During your initial consultation, we will create a customized treatment plan that meets your needs and achieves your aesthetic goals.

After your BBL treatment. 

After a BBL session, some skin redness is normal. You can also expect any pigmented lesions to appear darker for a few days. With time, this redness will dissipate and any dark spots will fade and flake off. At that point, the treated skin will appear younger and smoother.

Because BBL is non-invasive, there is no downtime associated with the procedure. You will be able to return to work and apply makeup to the area right away. However, you will need to avoid direct exposure to sunlight for a few days to ensure optimal results.

BBL can take years off of your appearance. 

Forever Young BBL is known for producing incredible anti-aging results. In one study, doctors determined that patients who received regular treatments (at least once a year) looked ten years younger than they did before their first session.

The changes that BBL makes to your skin are considered permanent. However, you will continue to age naturally moving forward. As such, we recommend periodic treatments every few months to address any new signs of aging and preserve your youthful new look.
