How Can Laser Technology Give You Beautiful Skin?
As we get older, every part of the body is affected – including our genes! They are expressed differently than they were when we were younger. BBL Forever Young uses laser technology to get down into the cell to change the way these genes work. It reactivates the “youthful” genes and deactivates the genes involved in the aging process. Research has shown that BBL does in fact change the skin at the molecular level.
BBL Forever Young uses intense pulsed light (also known as “IPL”), light energy that gets down deep into the skin to make these improvements. There are no incisions, or even injections, needed; it simply involves a handpiece that is moved over the skin. BBL Forever Young can be used on all areas of the body. Besides making skin just look younger overall, it can also be used to treat a variety of issues:
- Acne
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Small broken blood vessels
- Uneven texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
The treatment takes less than an hour, although more than one treatment is usually needed (the number of treatments can depend on what issues need corrected). After your treatment, your skin will feel warm and it may look red. You should avoid direct sunlight for 2 weeks after your treatment and make sure to wear sunscreen when you do go outside. However, you can get back to the rest of your normal activities as soon as you leave your doctor’s office, and you can even wear make-up right away.
So, what can BBL Forever Young do for you? A lot, it turns out! To discuss BBL or other solutions for skin problems, contact the office of Jeffrey C. Dawes, MD, FRCSC Plastic and Dermatologic Surgery in Calgary. Call (403) 571-3141 for a consultation today!
