Forever Young™ BBL + (BBL Hero)
Give your skin a luminous glow with Forever Young™ BBL photofacials. At our Ankeny clinic and spa near Des Moines, IA, we use these gentle laser treatments to treat sun damage, dark spots, and more with little to no downtime.
What Is Forever Young™ BBL?
BBL HERO or BroadBand Light with High Energy Rapid Output, is a new and improved IPL device by Sciton. It is four times faster, three times more powerful, and offers twice as much cooling. With this new device, patients will see better and faster results with minimal discomfort.
Several other treatments available at our location also use BBL technology, including Forever Clear® laser acne treatments and SkynTyte™ laser skin tightening.

What Are Forever Young BBL Treatments Like?
At our office we offer Forever Young BBL+ and ForeverBody, which is Sciton’s BBL HERO system for the face and body. These treatments provide a quick and comfortable way to rid your face and body of unwanted pigmentation and improve texture of the skin. With BBL HERO, we can address multiple areas of concern in a short treatment session with little to no discomfort. Any area of your body can be treated. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.
What Is Forever Young BBL Recovery Like?
BBL HERO is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities immediately. During the treatment, the device flashes specialized light as it is quickly moved across the treatment area. Each flash of light produces a feeling of warmth, but is easily tolerated without the need for topical anesthetic. The pigment is initially darkened, helping you know that you had an optimal treatment. Within the next several days, your body’s natural healing process will remove the pigmented cells and replace them with fresh, new, undamaged cells.
Most people need about 3 to 6 treatments spaced a month or so apart to see their best results.
