Acne is a common skin problem, and it is very frustrating to deal with it. For some people, acne is merely just a few pimples here and there in some trouble areas. For others, acne comes with deep cysts and constant breakouts all over the face and body. Severe acne causes havoc on the skin and commonly leaves deep scars and marks behind. Many people are left dealing with cosmetic concerns and decreased self-esteem.
Acne occurs when sebum (the oily substance that lubricates your hair and skin) and dead skin cells plug the hair follicles. Some over-the-counter creams and medications can help combat acne, as well as changes to diet and your skincare routine.
While these options are great, they are not always useful for everyone. If you’ve tried it all for acne without any success, it’s time to visit Marin Medical Aesthetics in San Rafael and give our Forever Clear Broadband Light (BBL) treatment.
Forever Clear BBL is an acne treatment that uses light to effectively clear acne without creams or medicine and with no discomfort. BBL is a powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device that delivers light energy deep into your skin. This light helps stimulate and regenerate your skin cells, leaving you with healthy, radiant skin.
Our doctors will help you develop a personalized plan, including any other treatment recommendations and follow-up BBL treatments. They can also give you suggestions for a skincare regimen so that you have clear skin that lasts.
This treatment is a great option teens and adults with active acne. The procedure can also be used for many areas on the body, including treating the face, back, and neck.
When it comes to the treatment itself, it involves a three-step process. During the first step, we’ll use blue BBL light, which penetrates deeply into your pores. This light helps destroy the acne-causing bacteria. For the second step, we use yellow BBL light to help reduce and calm redness and inflammation. The third step uses infrared light, which emits fast laser energy pulse and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.
At Marin Medical Aesthetics, we know that everyone’s skin is different and that everyone’s needs are unique. We will work with you to customize a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle.
