Oscar Wilde famously said, “With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.” There is some truth in this sentiment from the Irish poet and playwright, as not everyone grows wiser as they age. However, age does not “come alone,” as it is always accompanied by visible signs of its passing, like wrinkles, fine lines, laxity, age spots, and hyperpigmentation that slowly make their mark on our skin.
The skincare experts at Tru Glō Medspa are wise enough to know that we cannot slow the passing of time. However, there are measures we can take to reverse and decelerate visible signs of aging that emerge with the passing years. Among the effective skincare regimens they offer to Naples, Florida-area clients to slow the clock of visible aging are Forever Young BBL®. With its effectiveness backed by numerous clinical studies conducted over the past two decades, patients who undergo regular Forever Young sessions look an average ten years younger than their actual age. Let’s take a closer look at this innovative FDA-approved treatment and what it can do for you.
How Forever Young BBL® Works
Forever Young BBL® uses broadband light (“BBL”) waves to resurface and renew the surface skin layers and to stimulate the deeper skin layers to regenerate new skin and boost collagen production. This dual action helps diminish age-related imperfections while generating cellular renewal changes in the skin at the molecular level.
A study released in 2019 that assessed Forever Young BBL® patients over 10 years determined that those who underwent regular sessions experienced noticeable skin appearance improvements and decreases in their visible signs of aging. At the end of the study, researchers concluded that most patients who had consistently been treated with Forever Young looked 10 years younger than they were.
Meanwhile, a Stanford University School of Medicine study found that Forever Young BBL® technology seems to reverse skin aging at the genetic level. In their findings, researchers concluded that BBL therapy makes older skin cells act more like younger ones by stimulating molecular-level gene expression changes that positively affect skin cell aging and longevity and boost cell lifespans.
Treatment Targets and Areas
Forever Young BBL® is FDA-approved for those 16 and older with all skin types except Type VI and can be used to rejuvenate skin on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. Along with providing overall anti-aging skin renewal and rejuvenation benefits, your skincare professional can customize delivery of Forever Young’s light waves to better target specific skin conditions, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Skin laxity
- Rosacea
- Freckles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged Pores
- Uneven texture
- Broken capillaries
- Acne
Additionally, your skincare professional can proactively use Forever Young BBL® to slow the emergence of such skin issues and help your skin keep looking younger for a longer time with what’s known as “prejuvenation” treatment.
Your Forever Young BBL® Treatment in Naples
Your Forever Young BBL® treatment at our Naples-based medical spa begins with a consultation with one of our skincare experts to discuss anti-aging goals and assess your skin. Before treatment begins, your Forever Young practitioner will provide eye-protection goggles, and apply a light-conducting, cooling gel to the treatment area. During your 45-minute procedure, the Forever Young handpiece delivers short bursts of laser energy into your skin while patented cooling technology prevents it from getting too hot. Most patients do not report any discomfort during their session and describe it as delivering a sensation of mild warmth and tingling.
Many of our patients report noticing visible age-defying improvements and healthier complexions shortly after their first Forever Young BBL® session in Naples. These initial results continue to improve over the ensuing weeks as new skin cells emerge and collagen production ramps up. Patients can further enhance youthful skin improvements by scheduling two or more follow-up sessions during the year and annual Forever Young maintenance sessions to maintain the youthful glow and appearance of their rejuvenated skin.
Does Forever Young BBL® Have Any Side Effects?
Forever Young BBL® is safe, and its cooling technology helps prevent pain, but some patients may experience a few limited, short-term side effects. Immediately after their session, many experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours, but this should not require downtime or disrupt normal daily activities. FDA restrictions on Forever Young treatment preclude treatment for those with the following health conditions:
- Skin cancer history
- Immune system issues
- Those using photo-sensitizing medications
- Use anticoagulant medications
- Medical wound healing issues
- Keloid scar formation history
- Accutane usage within the previous 12 months
- Pregnancy
