Restore Your Clear, Vibrant Complexion With Sciton BBL Laser Treatment in Austin

Aging, environmental stress, and genetics all combine to change our skin over time. Fortunately, technology has also changed over time, and we now have innovative ways to prevent and correct the dermatologic and cosmetic conditions that concern us. At Austin Cosmetic Medspa, we offer several Sciton BBL laser treatments, which use science-backed technology to help patients achieve clear, youthful-looking skin.

Forever Clear BBL

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting an estimated 50 million people every year. Over 95 percent of teenagers and young adults will deal with acne at some point in their young lives. There are quite a few misconceptions about the causes of acne, but it comes down to bacteria multiplying in clogged sebaceous glands. To lessen acne breakouts, you need to reduce the P. acne bacteria causing the inflammation. That’s exactly what our Forever Clear BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment can do at Austin Cosmetic Medspa.

What Is Forever Clear BBL Treatment?

Forever Clear BBL is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of broadband light to comfortably and effectively clear acne without topical creams or prescription medications. This treatment destroys acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and redness, and makes way for clear, healthy skin for both teenagers and adults.

Broadband light is the most powerful form of intense pulsed light (IPL). The Forever Clear BBL device delivers light energy deep into the skin to clear acne, stimulate the production of new skin cells, and improve overall skin texture and health.

Treatment with the Forever Clear BBL device consists of the following three steps:

Step One - The targeted skin is first treated with blue broadband light. This light penetrates the sebaceous glands found at the base of the hair follicles. There, it kills the bacteria in these clogged glands.

Step Two - Next, the skin is treated with yellow BBL. This light wavelength works to reduce inflammation and acne-associated redness. This calms and improves the appearance of the skin.

Step Three - The final step is the delivery of infrared BBL in rapid, gentle pulses. This initiates the body’s natural healing process, enhancing the benefits of the blue and yellow light applications above.

  • Reduced acne breakouts
  • Creates smooth, clear skin

  • Improved self-confidence

Forever Clear BBL Recovery and Aftercare

You shouldn’t need to take any time off work or alter your normal routine after Forever Clear BBL treatment. Your skin may be slightly red and mildly irritated after the treatment, but these symptoms should subside very quickly. It’s best to avoid direct sun exposure for a few days after the procedure, and you should also wait 24 to 48 hours before engaging in strenuous physical activity.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Forever Clear BBL?

Individuals dealing with acne who would like to restore their clear, radiant skin could be good candidates for Forever Clear BBL treatment. Typically, Forever Clear BBL is a safe and effective treatment option for just about anyone experiencing acne breakouts. 

When you sit down for your initial consultation with one of our aesthetic professionals, they’ll ask you questions about your health, medical history, and aesthetic goals to ensure that you’re a good candidate for the treatment.

Forever Young BBL

Forever Young BBL treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses broadband light technology to improve the health and appearance of your skin. This treatment is designed primarily to target the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone.

During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver pulses of light to the skin. The light energy penetrates the skin and stimulates the production of collagen, which is a protein that gives your skin its firmness and elasticity. The treatment also targets the melanin in your skin, which helps to reduce the appearance of age spots and other pigmentation issues.

For your Forever Young BBL treatment, your provider will apply topical numbing cream to your skin and allow 30 minutes for it to take effect. Then, you will wear special goggles to protect your eyes, and your provider will make multiple passes over the treatment area with the small, handheld Forever Young BBL device. Each of these passes has its own purpose:

  • The first pass addresses the appearance of your skin
  • The second pass addresses small, visible blood vessels
  • The third targets hyperpigmentation and other conditions
  • The fourth and final pass warms the deep layers of your skin to stimulate overall rejuvenation

Benefits of Forever Young BBL Treatment

Forever Young BBL treatment uses cutting-edge technology to provide all of the following benefits:

  • Smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin
  • Reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging skin
  • Enhanced skin tone and texture
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results
  • Little to no recovery time
  • Increased collagen and elastin production
  • Improved self-confidence

Forever Young BBL Recovery and Aftercare

One of the advantages of the Forever Young BBL procedure is that there is little downtime required. Your skin may be slightly red or flushed for a few hours, but you can cover this with makeup if necessary. You may also have some swelling for a couple of days after treatment, and your skin will be temporarily sensitive to ultraviolet light. We suggest that you wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every day and limit your sun exposure for at least two weeks following treatment.

That said, you should have no issue returning to work and your normal routine within a day or so of your treatment. However, we recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before engaging in strenuous physical activity.

BBL Hero

BBL HERO is an advanced laser treatment that combines the technologies of Forever Young BBL and Forever Body BBL to effectively reduce signs of aging skin and other unsightly imperfections. The BBL HERO laser can be used to treat a wide variety of cosmetic issues, including the following:

  • Age spots
  • Rosacea
  • Cherry angiomas
  • Acne
  • Dull complexion
  • Skin laxity
  • Freckles
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

The BBL HERO treatment uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target pigment within the skin. It flashes specialized light as it is quickly moved across the treatment area. The pigment is initially darkened, helping you know that you had an optimal treatment. Within the next several days, your body’s natural healing process will remove the pigmented cells and replace them with fresh, new, undamaged cells, resulting in clearer, more youthful-looking skin.

The intense pulsed light delivered by the BBL HERO system gently heats the upper dermis, which feels akin to a hot-stone massage. As the laser-light energy enters the skin, it impacts the surface itself where imperfections are seen, causing lesions to flake away and spider veins to collapse. This is because the IPL is converted into heat as it is absorbed by areas with more pigment, by spider veins, and by red, blotchy areas. The IPL also travels into deeper layers of the dermis, where it begins to work on a molecular level. Studies show that BBL treatments actually change the expression of aging-associated genes for long-term effects that result in clearer, smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking skin.

Benefits of BBL HERO Treatment

BBL HERO by Sciton is one of the most advanced cosmetic laser treatments available, offering all of the following benefits:

  • Smoother, clearer, more radiant skin
  • Reduced signs of aging skin
  • Reduced pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and deeper lesions
  • Treats various skin imperfections, such as acne, freckles, and dull complexion
  • Enhanced skin tone and texture
  • Little to no recovery time
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results
  • Increased collagen and elastin production
  • Improved self-confidence

BBL HERO Recover and Aftercare

Patients typically don’t require any recovery time after BBL HERO treatment, and you should be able to return to work and your normal routine immediately. However, to protect your skin and ensure optimal results, you should avoid direct sun exposure for several days. You may experience some mild skin redness, swelling, and soreness, but these symptoms should go away on their own within a day or two. We also advise waiting at least 24 to 48 hours to engage in strenuous exercise or physical activity.

On average, Forever Clear BBL treatment takes around 30 to 60 minutes to complete, and you can head home immediately after it’s finished.

These treatments work best in series, as they keep the production of bacteria in check. At Austin Cosmetic Medspa we’ve found that our patients experience the best results with a series of about six treatments, each spaced two weeks apart.

Once you've completed your series, one to three treatments per year are usually recommended to maintain your clear skin.

Is BBL HERO treatment painful?

Thanks to the BBL HERO device’s state-of-the-art cooling system, you shouldn’t feel any pain during the treatment. You may feel a slight warming sensation as the laser is applied to your skin, but you should remain relatively comfortable throughout the procedure.

How long will it take to see results from BBL HERO treatment?

Depending on the specific cosmetic issues you’re looking to treat, you should start noticing significant improvements to your complexion within a couple of weeks.
