What to Expect During Forever Young BBL®
Forever Young BBL® sessions are quick, gentle, and made for your skin type and concerns. Here’s what the process looks like:
Step 1: Consultation
Dr. Erickson will meet with you to discuss your skin goals, assess your skin condition, and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2: Skin Prep
Before we begin, your skin will be cleaned gently, and you’ll be given safety glasses to protect your eyes.
Step 3: Light Treatment
A small device sends short bursts of light to the areas being treated. Most people say it feels like a warm snap or the flick of a rubber band.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
Your skin might look a little pink afterward, but this usually goes away in a few hours. Dr. Erickson will give you simple tips to help you get the best results.
