Is there a difference between IPL and Forever Young BBL?

sc0815Mar 10, 2016
I noticed on some doctors' websites that they offer both IPL and Forever Young BBL, what is the difference? Is Forever Young BBL better for Asians (skin type IV)?

I generally wait two weeks for the skin to heal from the peel before having the IPL laser. I prefer the VBeam for treating redness over the IPL. I find the combination rejuvenates the skin best. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

These are scars and need to be evaluated in person to determine the safest most effective approach.

I recommend using a laser with a small spot size that can treat the non beard areas .This will be safer and there is no need to worry about damage to beard area. Options include halo,q switched yag etc

You need to gradually increase settings .Another option would be laser for both brown and red color. The q switched yag in the 1064 wavelength targets the brown color and the 532 targets the red coor.

I am aware that patients on Lyrica have had Rosacea treatments with lasers without deleterious effects. As such, it should be safe. Check with the treating physician.dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member

Ha shoots has no correlation with the effect of Ipl. To treat swelling use Bromelain orally two three times a day. This is pineapple enzyme and is very effective in taking away swelling.
