Laser Hair Reduction
Forever Bare Broad Band Light treatment
Hair removal with broadband light is a great alternative to shaving, waxing, or tweezing unwanted hair, because it provides comfortable, safe, and lasting laser hair reduction.
At GreenwichMD we use the light-based Forever Bare BBL™ by Sciton for hair reduction. Forever Bare BBL™ uses broadband light to effectively remove unwanted hair from all parts of the body.
Popular areas for laser hair removal include the face, underarms, legs, and bikini area for women and the chest and back for men.
How Does Forever Bare BBL™ Work?
Forever Bare BBL™ emits a broad spectrum of focused energy that selectively targets the melanin at the base of the hair follicle. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair its color. The light energy is converted into heat which injures the hair-producing center of the follicle. This prevents the follicle from growing and hair reduction. The treated hair will fall out over the following weeks.
The Forever Bare BBL™ is generally comfortable thanks to the cooled sapphire plate in the handpiece, which keeps the skin cool throughout treatment.
How Long Does A Typical Treatment Take?
The treatment time will vary depending on the size of the area. Treating the chin can take just a few minutes, but treating a larger area like the legs can take 15 minutes or more.
Is There Any Downtime?
There is no downtime after laser hair removal so you can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment. The skin may be mildly red after the procedure, but this should resolve in a few days.
