Intense pulsed light (Forever Young BBL)

Reveal brighter, more even, younger-looking skin. Sciton BBL photorejuvenation can address dark spots, acne and visible signs of skin aging in one session.

Our approach

What is Forever Young BBL photorejuvenation?

At DGB Clinic, we use Sciton’s BroadBand Light (BBL) platform for advanced light-based skin care. Forever Young BBL builds on conventional IPL with even energy delivery, enhanced cooling and precise settings to improve overall skin quality.

This treatment addresses three main concerns:

Dark spots and hyperpigmentation: selected wavelengths target melanin to reduce sun spots, lentigines and uneven pigmentation.
Redness and visible vessels: targets oxyhemoglobin to reduce diffuse redness, rosacea-related redness and visible small vessels.
Skin quality and signs of aging: controlled heat stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, brighter, smoother-looking skin.

effects & longevity

Expected results

Immediate effect

Radiance may be noticeable soon after treatment. Dark spots can temporarily deepen in colour over 24 to 48 hours before gradually flaking away.

Evolution :

Skin gradually looks more even and radiant. Improvements in firmness, texture and brightness can continue for four to eight weeks as collagen renewal progresses. Results build from session to session.

Duration:

An initial series of three to five sessions, three to four weeks apart, may be recommended. Maintenance once or twice a year can help sustain results and address new sun damage.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Should I avoid the sun before and after treatment?

Yes. Use SPF 50+ for the four weeks before and after each session. Recent sun exposure may mean delaying treatment and can increase the risk of pigment changes. Your doctor will assess your skin first.

Is this treatment suitable for combination skin or active acne?

Yes. BBL is well suited to combination skin with spots, redness and mild acne. For more severe active inflammatory acne, Forever Clear BBL’s blue, yellow and infrared phases may be preferred or combined with Forever Young BBL after a skin assessment.

Is the treatment painful?

It feels like a quick, light snap followed by brief warmth. Cooling gel is applied before each pass for comfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well without anaesthetic.

How many sessions are needed to see an improvement?

Many patients notice brighter, more even skin after two or three sessions. Established spots or pronounced rosacea may need four to five sessions, followed by annual maintenance.

How is Forever Young BBL different from traditional IPL?

Forever Young BBL is a second-generation technology with more even energy delivery, continuous cooling and more precise wavelengths than traditional IPL. This can mean more consistent results, greater comfort and improved safety, particularly for darker skin tones.
