How it works
Eliminates Stubborn Acne
The Forever Clear BBL uses intense pulse light to distribute heat to the upper layers of your skin. Targeted areas absorb various frequencies (colours) of light energy, killing the acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, redness and scarring, and ultimately eliminating the acne.
The treatment experience
Planning your Forever Clear treatment
Your experience begins with a consult with one of our expert staff. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that best suits your needs. We review your concerns, expectations, skincare regimen, price estimates, and your relevant medical history during your session. This information helps ensure you get the results you’re looking for with realistic expectations. Skin treatments are 100% personalized and can vary in strength, the number of sessions, and the combination of treatments.
What to expect
Before the Treatment
Minimize sun exposure for 3 weeks before your treatment appointment, or avoid the sun altogether. Self-tanners must be faded for at least 7 to 10 days. Avoid retinol treatments for 5 days before your appointment. If you choose to use numbing cream, it will be applied one hour before treatment.
During the Treatment
The procedure is quick, ranging from 15–60 minutes. You’ll wear eye protection glasses as the light is bright. You’ll feel the heat increase, and as each area is completed, a cool pack will be placed over it. It’s a fairly painless procedure, with patients describing it like a “rubber band snap” sensation.
After the Treatment
After your procedure, the treated area will be red; however, it should resolve within a few hours. In the 7–10 days following the treatment, pigment lesions will darken and slowly exfoliate. Mineral makeup is allowed after 24 hours. Retinol treatments can be gradually resumed 5 days post-treatment.

How much is Forever Clear BBL?
The Forever Clear BBL treatment costs $400 for the face. To ensure that our treatments are as affordable as possible, we offer packages with additional savings when several treatments and treatment zones are purchased collectively.
BBL is an extremely safe procedure and has been approved by Health Canada; however, there are some instances where BBL is not suitable for an individual.
These include patients who:
- Have a history of abnormal response to sunlight.
- Use photo-sensitizing medications or drugs.
- Have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last 6–12 months.
- Are pregnant.
- Have medical conditions that may affect wound healing.

Forever Young and Forever Clear both fall under the BBL innovative technology brand. They are similar in the way they work, but they treat different concerns. Forever Young is an anti-aging treatment using broadband light therapy, while Forever Clear targets explicitly active acne. As they function at different depths, Forever Clear requires more treatments because its light is set to a shallower setting to combat acne-causing skin bacteria, which sits at a superficial skin level.
Forever Clear BBL is a superior treatment for stubborn, active acne and is suitable for all ages. It can also be used in conjunction with other treatments for optimal results addressing a variety of concerns. For the most effective and suitable treatment plan, schedule a consultation with one of our highly qualified staff to customize a treatment plan that makes you feel and look your best.
The number of treatments depends on your concerns. We generally recommend an average of 3 treatments, usually one month apart. Annual maintenance is recommended if you want to maintain your results.
Results are apparent as early as 3 weeks post-treatment
This treatment is non-invasive and considered fairly painless as it treats the superficial layers of the skin. The procedure does not require numbing cream; however, if you’re prone to sensitivity, talk with your consultant about using a topical anesthetic before treatment.
