How Forever Clear BBL Works
The shorter wavelengths of BBL, in the blue-light spectrum, attack p-acne bacteria on the surface and in the sebaceous gland. Along with a home skin care program designed for acne-prone skin, you can experience significant long-term clearance.

What Causes Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicle pores are blocked by natural components of the skin. This is the root of most acne lesions. Once blocked, inflammation and bacteria overgrowth occur leading to red bumps and cysts in the skin. Sebaceous or sweat glands of the skin can contribute excessive amounts of sebum into the plugged follicle increasing inflammation. Hormones can also play a role. Most teenagers are affected to some degree. Adults, often, get acne for the first time while others have suffered since the teenage years.
Acne is not life-threatening, but it can cause physical disfigurement (scarring) and emotional distress if not treated early.

FAQs
BBL Acne has now proven to be helpful in the treatment of acne. Microdermabrasion and Corrective Peels also offer alternative ways to remove persistent and stubborn acne.
A thin layer of gel is applied to your skin, followed by the BBL treatment. Most patients have minimal discomfort.
To achieve maximum improvement with BBL, a series of 8 weekly treatments is most effective. Most patients will need a periodic touch-up ranging from monthly to every 6 months, depending on your acne type and severity.
