Forever Clear BBL™

Like all treatments, Forever Clear BBL by BBL^TM HEROic has potential risks. People sometimes feel a sunburn like sensation on the treated area, with the feeing usually dissipating within a few hours. Some pigment may peel off in the days following the treatment. Some mild facial irritation can also be felt. Other less common risks include the following:

• Hyperpigmentation.
• Swelling.
• Bruising.
• Blistering.
• Scabbing.

BBL^TM HEROic should not be used if you have an infection, are immunocompromised, pregnant, have a propensity for keloid scar formations, or who are on photo-sensitising medications. BBL^TM HEROic is also not suitable for you if you have a haemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or haemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; or have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6-12 months. The use of smoking and nicotine products may delay healing.

Avoid alcohol in the week prior to your treatment because it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks prior. Hair should be removed from the treating area prior to the treatment. Self-tanning products should not be applied to the skin for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment, and direct sun exposure should also be limited for the 3-4 weeks prior to treatment.

No anaesthetic is required. Minimal to no discomfort. There will be 3 passes of the hand piece over the target area, with blue, yellow, infrared lights sequenced. The BBL^TM HEROic sapphire tip keeps the skin cool and comfortable throughout the treatment.

Most people continue to feel warm for 30-60 minutes after the treatment. Cool compresses or ice packs can provide some comfort after treatment. Apply sunblock to the treated areas for at least 2 weeks following treatment to avoid excessive sunburn reaction or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Do not use facial products with retinoids or other potentially irritating ingredients for 2 weeks following your treatment. Aspirin and alcohol should be avoided for 12-48 hours after your treatment.
