Forever Young BBL
Description
Forever Young BBL uses Sciton's BroadBand Light to treat sun damage and visible signs of aging. Controlled pulses of light target brown spots, freckles, redness, small vessels and uneven tone, while stimulating the skin to improve texture and overall skin quality. Regular treatments help keep skin looking healthier over time, so it works as both a corrective and a maintenance treatment, with little to no downtime.

What It Treats

How It Works
Your provider customizes each treatment in passes:
- Base pass: treats the overall appearance of the skin
- Vascular pass: targets small visible vessels and flushing
- Pigment pass: targets brown spots and uneven pigmentation
- Optional SkinTyte pass: gentle heating to support collagen and firmness
Pre Treatment
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. A cool gel is applied, and you may briefly feel warmth or a quick snapping sensation as the light is absorbed. Numbing is usually not needed, though your provider may use it for more sensitive areas. If you are new to this treatment, please book a Spot Treatment at least 24 hours before your appointment (72 hours for skin types 4 to 6).
Please avoid sun exposure, tanning and self-tanner for 4 weeks before treatment.
Post Treatment
Do
- Use a cool, damp, soft cloth for 10 to 20 minutes at a time if the skin feels warm
- Apply makeup gently, as long as there is no blistering
Avoid
- Retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid and salicylic acid for 1 week
- Prolonged sun exposure for 4 weeks; wear SPF 30 or higher daily
- Picking or scrubbing treated spots
Expect
- Warmth, redness and a sunburn-like feeling, which usually settle within 2 to 4 hours
- Brown spots look darker right after treatment and may feel rough, like coffee grounds, for a few days. They flake off on their own within 1 to 2 weeks
- Some patients have mild swelling, especially around the eyes, for a few days
Contact the clinic with any concerns, such as blistering or redness and swelling that does not settle.
