Refresh Your Complexion With Acne Treatment in St. Louis

Acne breakouts are a common, frustrating occurrence that can make us feel embarrassed, self-conscious, and socially uncomfortable. Many skincare products and medications claim to eliminate stubborn acne, but oftentimes, the results are underwhelming. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our medical spa offers a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment called Forever Clear BBL (BroadBand Light) that can greatly reduce active acne with a few quick, painless sessions.

What Is Forever Clear BBL Acne Treatment?

Forever Clear BBL, developed by Sciton, is an advanced form of light therapy designed to eliminate acne and other skin imperfections. This non-invasive laser treatment can effectively treat a range of skin conditions. The technology uses intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, distinguished by its ability to emit light of multiple wavelengths, allowing it to pierce the skin at different depths.

Your Forever Clear BBL treatment typically begins with blue BBL to eliminate acne-causing bacteria at its source, deep down in the pores. Following the blue light, yellow BBL is used to reduce inflammation and acne-associated redness to give you healthier, luminous skin. Finally, the skin is treated with infrared light in a rapid, gentle pulse to initiate the body's natural healing process.

Specifically tailored to each individual's skin type and conditions, Forever Clear BBL can be customized with varying light wavelengths. The treatment can be used to address the following skin concerns:

  • Acne and acne scars
  • Redness
  • Pigmentation

  • Greatly reduced acne and inflammation
  • More even skin tone
  • Gentle, non-invasive procedure
  • No downtime required
  • Fully customizable treatment
  • Long-lasting results

What to Expect During Your Forever Clear BBL Procedure in St. Louis

Before undergoing Forever Clear BBL treatment at our medical spa, you’ll sit down for a private consultation with one of our skin care specialists. They’ll examine your skin and ask you about your current health and medical history. They’ll answer any questions you may have about the procedure and ensure that it will be a safe and effective option for you.

When you arrive for your treatment, your skin will be cleaned and prepped by a qualified practitioner. 

You will also receive protective eyewear to safeguard your eyes from the intense light during the procedure. One of our registered nurses will then gently pass the Forever Clear BBL device over your skin, which may cause a slight warming sensation. The device delivers light energy that heats the upper layers of your skin, targeting and eliminating bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin renewal.

The duration of the treatment typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Your provider will pass the BBL handpiece over your skin multiple times to ensure thorough coverage.

Does Forever Clear BBL Treatment Require a Recovery Period?

Forever Clear BBL typically does not require a significant recovery period. You can usually resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, you may experience some minor side effects following treatment, such as redness, swelling, and skin sensitivity.
To ensure that your skin heals properly, you’ll need to avoid strenuous physical activity for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. You should also keep your skin moisturized and avoid places like saunas and steam rooms for a few days.

Keep in mind that personal experiences vary, and your provider will give you specific guidance based on your individual skin type and the details of your treatment.
