Do you want to “say goodbye to aging skin?” Would you happily undergo a non-invasive treatment that can address a wide range of skin conditions to produce a visibly younger-looking complexion?

If so, the skincare experts at Tampa, Florida’s Health + Glow believe that you might be a perfect candidate to seek the anti-aging benefits of Forever Young BBL® treatment. As a customizable treatment that can be tailored to address unique skin concerns and specific skin types, Health + Glow lead physician Dr. Swapna M. Kallikadan believes Forever Young BBL® is one of her medical spa’s most effective non-invasive anti-aging treatments. Let’s take a closer look at this novel skin conditioning treatment and examine what skin concerns it effectively addresses:

What is Forever Young BBL®?

The innovative laser technology of Forever Young BBL® uses broadband light (“BBL”) waves to reduce visible signs of aging and skin imperfections on the surface layers of skin while inducing the deeper layers to regenerate healthy, new skin and increase collagen production. Through numerous studies over the past two decades, researchers have determined that the FDA-approved BBL technology is safe and effective. A long-term study that followed patients who underwent regular Forever Young BBL® treatment sessions for 10 years recorded noticeable improvements in skin appearance and decreased visible signs of aging. Researchers noted that most patients continued to appear younger than their actual age after 10 years of regular Forever Young sessions.

According to findings in a Stanford University School of Medicine study, the BBL technology also stimulates changes in molecular-level gene expression associated with aging, longevity, and increased cell lifespan. The researchers concluded that this could be making older skin cells act more like younger ones and provided evidence that Forever Young BBL® has the potential to reverse skin aging at the genetic level.

What Results You Can Expect from Forever Young BBL® Treatment

Approved for those 16 and older with most skin types and on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands, many Forever Young BBL® patients notice visible age-defying improvements after their first session. These results become more apparent after two weeks with the generation of new skin cells and increased collagen production. Results can be further enhanced with two or more follow-up sessions in the ensuing months, and annual maintenance sessions to help maintain the glow and youthful appearance of your renewed skin.

Your Forever Young BBL® treatment provider will strategize a treatment plan to address specific skin concerns and help meet your anti-aging goals. Based on this treatment plan, your provider will customize the delivery of BBL waves to target specific skin conditions, for instance:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Enlarged Pores
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven texture
• Skin laxity
• Broken blood vessels
• Acne

What to Expect During Your Forever Young BBL® Treatment

Prior to your Forever Young BBL® treatment at our Tampa medical spa, one of our medical professionals will assess your skin and discuss anti-aging treatment goals. In preparation for your session, you will be provided goggles to protect your eyes from the broadband light, and your practitioner will apply a light-conducting, cooling gel to the treatment area. During the procedure, the laser energy is delivered into the skin in short bursts, and patented cooling technology mitigates the energy’s heat for optimal comfort. Most patients report feeling mild warmth and tingling during their sessions, typically lasting from 20 to 30 minutes.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Forever Young BBL® is safe with minimal pain, but patients typically experience a few limited, short-term side effects. Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours after their session, but no downtime is needed, and you can immediately resume normal daily activities. Pigmented skin treated with Forever Young usually darkens, fades, and then flakes off within one to two weeks of a session. Patients in research studies reported rare instances of the following issues:

• Blistering
• Scabbing
• Hyperpigmentation
• Hypopigmentation
• Bruising
