Is there a difference between IPL and Forever Young BBL?

Question

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)?

Thomas Buonassisi, MD · Answer

Both BBL and IPL are intense pulse light devices and are useful in the treatment of Asian skin. BBL in particular uses dual flash lamps to produce the intense pulses of broad band light. Filters are then used to narrow the band of light that is required for the specific type of skin being treated.Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I find that fraxel laser or q switched do better than IPL for asian skin types but it all depends on who is performing the procedure.  Peels between laser procedures is best. Best, Dr. Emer.

Morris Westfried, MD · Answer

Both are ipl.Forwver bbl is a brand. Asian skin is type 5 and it is preferable to use a laser suite to your skin.
