At Northeast Dermatology, we are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical science, while at the same time, advocating for our patients and cutting through the hype. With that in mind, we are extremely excited to offer a brand new treatment option for our patients that suffer from acne - Forever Clear BBL.
Acne will affect nearly 85% of individuals at some point in their lives. Great strides in acne treatment have been made over the past decades, including the use of retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids, antibiotics, hormone blockers, and Accutane. While traditional therapy can be quite effective for acne and is still the mainstay of treatment at our office, there are individuals who cannot achieve their desired clearance. They may have difficulty following complicated skin care regimens, they may have side effects from medications, and sometimes they simply do not respond to their treatments. For patients frustrated with the status quo in acne treatments, we now offer Forever Clear BBL.
Forever Clear BBL typically consists of 4-6 treatment sessions. Sessions involve a unique, three-step process using blue, yellow, and infrared light, each of which targets a different phase of the acne process.
Blue light targets and kills the bacteria P. acnes, which lives in our pores and feeds on the oil produced there.
Yellow light has an anti-inflammatory effect and can rapidly decrease the redness associated with inflamed acne lesions.
Finally, infrared light is applied to activate the natural healing response within the skin and minimize the risk of scarring.
Forever Clear BBL treatments are painless, typically take 20-30 minutes, can be done at any age, and have no downtime or post-treatment care requirements. It can be performed as the sole treatment, or used in combination with other acne treatments, and is effective for facial acne, as well as acne on the chest and back.
While the results may not be permanent, patients typically see an extended remission from their acne after completing their treatment course. The treatment may not be suitable for patients with dark complexion or tanned skin.
If you are frustrated by your current acne treatments and would like to learn more about Forever Clear BBL, call us to set up a free consultation.
