LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Portland
Forever Bare BBL is a new technology in hair removal. Traditional hair removal devices apply all of their energy to a given area at the same time. In contrast, Forever Bare BBL sends multiple lower fluence pulses with a high rate of repetition, which provides treatment that is fast, safe, effective, and comfortable. BBL motion technology allows for extremely even heating of the hair follicles and minimizes missed areas that occur with traditional hair removal devices. The Forever Bare BBL handpiece provides continuous cooling, even at maximum power, to keep the skin comfortable before, during, and after treatment. By gradually increasing the temperature of the follicle to therapeutic levels and keeping the skin protected with cooling, Forever Bare BBL can effectively treat most skin types.

FOREVER BARE BBL™
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures, and Forever Bare BBL treatment offers a new technology that ensures optimal results. Traditional hair removal devices have intensive treatments that cause more pressure on the skin, aftercare, and unwanted effects like ingrown hairs. In contrast, Forever Bare BBL sends multiple lower fluence pulses with a high rate of repetition, which provides treatment that is fast, safe, effective, and comfortable on any part of the body. BBL motion technology applies intense pulse light and extremely even heating on the hair follicles and minimizes missed areas that occur with traditional hair removal devices. A single handpiece is used to provide continuous cooling, even at maximum power, to keep the skin comfortable before, during, and after treatment. By gradually increasing the temperature of the follicle to therapeutic levels and keeping the skin protected with cooling, this treatment is safe and effective for any skin color. There is hardly any feeling of discomfort during and after the laser treatment, and no post-treatment downtime is required.
Multiple treatments are required since hair follicles are not all active at once and laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing. The anagen phase occurs when your hair follicles are growing, and laser energy has the best impact on these active hairs. Due to different hair cycles, we schedule laser treatments at least one month apart. Typically, four to seven treatments are recommended.
Benefits of Forever Bare BBL:
- Permanent hair reduction
- Lessens growth of dark thick hair
- Minimize ingrown hairs
- Fast
- Long-lasting
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal Treatment:
- Avoid waxing or plucking the hair for four weeks before each treatment
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Avoid spray-on tan
- Shave prior to the appointment
