Broadband Light (BBL) therapy, also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses a broad spectrum of light to address a variety of skin conditions. It is offered at many medical spas and is used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging.
BBL therapy works by delivering a broad spectrum of light to the skin, which is then absorbed by specific cells. The light energy is converted into heat energy, which stimulates collagen production and improves the overall health and appearance of the skin. The heat energy also targets pigmented cells, which can help to reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and other discoloration.
One of the main benefits of BBL therapy is that it can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. It can also help to reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and other discoloration. This treatment can also help to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, leaving it looking smoother and more youthful.
BBL therapy is a non-invasive treatment that requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those who want to improve their skin without surgery or other invasive procedures. It is also safe for all skin types and can be used to treat a variety of conditions, such as rosacea, acne, and pigmentation issues.

We all know that the process of shaving and/or waxing of body hair can be painful and time consuming. Our favorite solution for removing body hair is the
Forever Bare BBL treatment. Here’s everything you need to know about the treatment, preparation, and follow-up care.
WHAT IS Forever Bare BBL?
Forever BARE BBL is a comfortable way to eliminate unwanted hairs. Also known as Laser Hair Reduction. Using Broadband technology (pulsed light therapy) to deliver photothermal energy to the hair follicle. The rapid short pulses of the energy causes the hair follicle to stop producing hair without harming the surrounding tissue.
Any area can be treated – Face, legs, arms, under arms, bikini area, chest, shoulders and back. Since not all hairs grow at the same time, multiple treatments are recommended in order to treat all three stages of growth: Anagen, catagen, and telogen. Typically we recommend 5 treatments to receive a 50% to 90% reduction. These treatments are suggested to be 6 wks apart.
How Does It Feel?
During the treatment a clear gel is applied to the skin. The energy is delivered through a cool applicator so there is minimal discomfort. During the treatment you may experience a warm sensation in the treatment area. Mild redness may appear in the treated area but should dissipate shortly after treatment or by end of day, depending on your sensitivity.
More Information:
Treat time varies depending on the size of the area being treated but generally it takes less than 20 minutes. Numbing the treated area is usually not necessary as the BBL technology is very tolerable.
All waxing, tweezing and/or threading has to stop during the course for the laser hair treatments. Shaving, however, is allowed as it will not thicken the area.
Self tanners should also not be used during the course of treatments. BBL can detect melanin in the skin so you want to be at your fairest skin tone when you have treatment. (For dark skin tones we recommend a YAG laser) The best time to have Laser Hair Reduction treatments is over fall and winter, when any summer tan has faded. You’ll be bikini ready by spring!
