How Does Forever Clear BBL Treat My Acne?

Forever Clear BBL treatments use the energy generated by a powerful BBL machine that delivers light energy deep into your skin, stimulating and regenerating skin cells affected by acne and leaving your skin radiant and acne-free. There are three steps to each Forever Clear BBL treatment:

Step 1: Skin is treated with BBL light that eliminates acne-causing bacteria at its source (deep in the pores)

Step 2: The skin is then treated with bright yellow light to reduce inflammation and acne-associated redness, leaving you with healthy, luminous skin.

Step 3: The final step includes treatment with SkinTyte II™, an infrared light that uses fast, gentle pulses to initiate the body’s natural healing process.


There is typically no recovery time associated with the procedure, meaning most patients can wear makeup and resume normal activities immediately. With the knowledge of our team here at Dr. Gabriel's Portland medical spa, our passion for our patients, and our drive for results, we will help your skin stand the test of time and feel better than it ever has at any age.

Will I Need to Factor In Any Recovery Time?

As with all procedures, you will have to follow your aftercare plan until your skin is completely healed, which is typically about one week after the treatment. Otherwise, there is no real recovery time associated with this treatment. After a Forever Clear BBL treatment, you may experience:

  • Some redness that will resolve within a few hours
  • Clearer skin
  • Tightened pores

Post-treatment it is wise to avoid direct sun exposure and to use sunscreen. Otherwise, there is no recovery time associated with Forever Clear BBL treatments, and in general you can expect to see an improvement after just one treatment.

Skincare Post-Forever Clear BBL Treatments

Forever Clear BBL treatments help you manage your acne long-term thanks to its innovative technology and proven results. For added benefit, you will want to follow the direction from your consultation regarding skincare post-treatment.
