Forever Young BBL™ Light Facial is an exciting new treatment that was studied in the Dermatology Department at Stanford University, which now shows evidence on how regular light therapy treatments can functionally rejuvenate genes in aging skin cells. This BBL light therapy treatment stimulates changes at the molecular level deep inside your skin. The therapy changes the gene expression of older, damaged skin cells so they will resemble more closely the genes expressed in younger skin cells. The cells are reinvigorated, causing the skin to look much younger over time. There is visible improvement in skin firmness, elasticity and a reduction of pigmentation and redness. With regular BBL treatments the skin is clear, smooth and more youthful. We recommend having two to four treatments per year.
Photorejuvenation utilizes light therapy to minimize particular capillaries or red marks on the skin. This treatment also helps to reduce the overall red appearance or “flushing” of skin. Utilizing a separate filter this treatment can also be harnessed to remove large amounts of pigmentation such as sun spots, age spots or freckles. This treatment truly evens out your skin tone and provides your skin with a more youthful, luminous look.

Lasers are man-made devices with specific settings and levels to resurface skin or remove particular abnormalities in skin. Lasers can be used by both estheticians at low to medium levels and by doctors at very advanced, high levels for intense skin resurfacing. A consultation can determine which level of treatment would be correct given the condition of your skin and your particular concerns.
Micro Laser Peel is a minimally invasive laser peel that gently removes the outermost layer of skin to help treat fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, texture and color and restore a healthy looking, youthful glow to the skin. When combined with a Dermapen treatment it can also dramatically reduce the amount and depth of acne pit scarring.
Unwanted Skin Growths can be removed utilizing laser therapy that vaporizes tissue that protrudes beyond the skin’s natural barriers. Abnormalities like tissue growths, moles, nevus, sebaceous growths and milia can easily and quickly be removed with very little downtime.
Laser and light therapies are advanced treatments that harness the power of concentrated light energy to address a variety of skin concerns and promote overall skin health.
Benefits:
- Collagen Stimulation: Laser and light therapies stimulate collagen production in the skin, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
- Skin Texture Improvement: By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, these therapies can smooth out uneven texture, including acne scars and rough patches, resulting in a more even and refined complexion.
- Pigmentation Reduction: They can effectively lighten and reduce the appearance of pigmented lesions such as sun spots, age spots, and melasma. This leads to a more uniform skin tone.
- Reduction of Vascular Lesions: Laser and light treatments can target and diminish visible blood vessels and vascular lesions, such as spider veins and rosacea, improving overall skin clarity.
- Acne Treatment: Some therapies are effective in reducing acne and controlling oil production by targeting the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts.
- Minimized Pore Size: These treatments can help tighten enlarged pores, resulting in smoother skin texture and reduced pore visibility.
- Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: Laser and light therapies are non-surgical and generally require minimal downtime, making them convenient for individuals with busy lifestyles.
Understanding the process and recovery of laser and light therapy treatments is essential for informed decision-making and optimal results.
During Treatment:
- Consultation: A thorough consultation with our aesthetician assesses your skin concerns and determines the most suitable treatment plan.
- Procedure: During the session, protective eyewear is typically provided, and the treatment area is cleansed. The device is then applied to the skin, emitting pulses of light or laser energy. You may feel a warming or tingling sensation, which is generally well-tolerated.
After Treatment:
- Immediate Effects: Mild redness and warmth in the treated area are common immediately post-treatment. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a day.
- Skin Care Routine: Following post-treatment instructions is crucial, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen to protect the skin.
- Results: Initial results may be visible shortly after treatment, with progressive improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases and skin conditions improve.
- Maintenance: Depending on the treatment plan, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve desired results. Maintenance sessions may be scheduled periodically to sustain skin improvements.
Precautions: It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow specific skincare guidelines as advised by our estheticians to optimize results and minimize potential side effects. Regular consultations with The Geldner Center may be needed to ensure ongoing skin health and maintenance of treatment benefits.
