Thinking about trying Forever Bare BBL™ for smooth, hair-free skin? While it’s often referred to as laser hair removal, Forever Bare BBL is actually another type of light technology called BroadBand Light (BBL).
At Premier Skin Clinic, an MD-owned med spa, our practice is built on integrity and delivering excellent patient experiences. We’re known for bringing the latest leading-edge treatments to patients in the Fort Collins, CO, area. Forever Bare BBL is one of the treatments we’re most excited to offer because it uses next-generation technology to eliminate unwanted hair.
Many patients wonder whether the preparation process is the same as with laser hair removal, and the most common question involves whether shaving or waxing is okay before treatment. The short answer: Shaving is fine, but waxing is not. Here are the details.
Why You Should Shave Before Treatment
Before your appointment, we’ll ask you to shave the area being treated. Shaving clears the hair from the skin surface but keeps the hair follicle intact beneath it. Hair left above the skin can prevent light energy from penetrating the hair follicle, so you should shave 24-48 hours ahead of your first session (not on the day of.)
Forever Bare BBL uses a gentle, flashing light to heat the pigment inside the hair follicles without damaging your skin. The pigment absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and prevents regrowth. Thanks to the built-in sapphire cooling tip, most patients find BBL hair removal comfortable and easy.
Why Waxing Is Off-Limits
Waxing removes the hair from the root. This leaves no hair follicle to target. We recommend stopping all waxing and plucking at least a month before your first session. Most patients require approximately three to six sessions for complete hair clearance, so avoid waxing between sessions as well.
