Can we really slow down the aging clock? BBL™ BroadBand Light therapy, also commonly known as Intense Pulsed Light therapy or the photo facial uses cutting edge technology to produce younger looking skin that's firmer, and more even in tone and texture. For the past 20 years it has allowed clinicians to precisely treat fine wrinkles, age & sun spots, and small facial veins and improve the appearance of aging skin. The BBL is one of the top aesthetic treatments performed because of the high degree of efficacy, high patient satisfaction, ease of application, reasonable cost per treatment, and lack of recovery time. In 2012 groundbreaking studies on BBL from Stanford University showed scientific evidence that BroadBand Light does more than just improve the appearance of lax skin and pigmentation on the skin. The Forever Young BBL clinical trial showed this technology was able to change the expression of genes associated with aging, longevity, and increased lifespan of the cells. How does Forever Young BBL work? BBL uses low-frequency photothermal energy to safely and gently heat deep layers of skin. Damaged cells absorb this energy and are stimulated to generate new collagen formation. The BBL stimulates changes at the molecular level and visible changes in the skin. The gene expression of older damaged skin cells changes and will begin to resemble the genes expressed in younger skin cells. Over time the skin looks much younger, there are visible signs of firmness, elasticity and less pigmentation. What will happen during the procedure? A cool gel is first applied to the treatment area. Then, a chilled applicator is placed on the skin to deliver the light therapy. Is there downtime associated with the Forever Young BBL? There is little or no downtime with this treatment. In most cases you can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. How many Treatments will I need? A minimum of two Forever Young BBL treatments per year is recommended. Optimal results for maintaining healthy skin and delaying skin aging require four Forever Young BBL treatments each year. What aftercare do I need? You may be more sensitive to sunlight so we recommend sunblock with zinc. To learn more about this fascinating breakthrough in technology please visit: www.foreveryoungbbl.com.
