Forever Clear BBL™ Acne Treatment
Forever Clear BBL™ clears acne using light energy to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy, clear skin, without medication or downtime.
Clearer Skin with Light, No Creams or Pills Needed
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we offer Forever Clear BBL™, an advanced, noninvasive acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne at its source.
Say goodbye to harsh medications and topical creams. With Forever Clear BBL, you can achieve visibly clearer, healthier skin using the speed of light.
What Is Forever Clear BBL?
Forever Clear BBL is a cutting-edge broadband light therapy developed by Sciton, designed specifically to treat active acne, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.
This FDA-cleared treatment harnesses the proven benefits of light energy in a unique three-step process that targets bacteria, calms the skin, and stimulates healing, all without downtime.
How It Works: The 3-Step Light Therapy
Forever Clear BBL uses a precise sequence of light wavelengths to clear acne-prone skin:
- Step 1: Blue Light – Penetrates deep into pores to eliminate acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) at the source.
- Step 2: Yellow Light – Reduces inflammation and redness, promoting a more even skin tone.
- Step 3: Infrared Light – Gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to kickstart the body’s natural healing response and stimulate collagen production for long-term skin health.
Together, these three steps work in harmony to clear current breakouts, calm irritation, and promote long-term skin clarity from the inside out.

What to Expect During Treatment
Forever Clear BBL is a quick, well-tolerated treatment performed by our experienced team. After gently cleansing your skin, we apply a cool gel and use a handheld BBL device to deliver light energy in a series of pulses.
You may feel a warm or snapping sensation, but most patients find the experience very comfortable, no numbing required.
There’s no downtime. While some patients may notice slight redness or sensitivity, these effects typically fade within a few hours.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients see the best results with a series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. Our team will personalize your treatment plan based on the severity of your acne and your unique skin goals.
To maintain clear, healthy skin, occasional maintenance treatments may also be recommended.
