If you would like to get rid of unwanted hair, then BBL (Broadband Light) hair removal is a longest lasting and quickest solution. ForeverBare BBL by Sciton is the best way to remove unwanted hair.
Waxing and shaving will be a thing of the past with this treatment which is suitable for both men and women. Having to worry about excess facial hair can be particularly stressful for lots of people, similarly many men are bothered by their back and shoulder hair.
BBL hair removal is fantastic for solving the painful problem of ingrown hairs and an additional benefit is that it leaves the skin soft, supple and smooth. A course of treatments will be required, spaced at 4-8 weeks intervals to run alongside the hair growth cycle

We assess your skin type, hair colour, and treatment area to ensure laser is safe and effective for you. A patch test may be carried out before starting your course.
The area should be clean-shaven prior to your appointment. We cleanse the skin and provide protective eyewear before treatment begins.
Laser energy targets the pigment in the hair follicle, disrupting future growth. It’s quick, with a warm snapping sensation, and tailored to your skin and hair type.
Skin may be slightly red or sensitive for a few hours. You’ll need to avoid heat, sun exposure, and active skincare, with a course of treatments required for best results.

Light is absorbed by the melanin (the pigment in the hair follicle). The light energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cell. The laser or BBL (BroadBand Light) is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which targets many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of the skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is covered. For BBL treatments, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin to help guide the light.
With this laser, almost all skin types can be treated. The most successful results are seen with people who have lighter skin and darker hair. Dark hair has a higher concentration of melanin which absorbs the laser light more effectively, thereby destroying the hair follicle. Fair hair contains less melanin so is harder to treat and grey/white hair contains absolutely no melanin therefore is not suitable for treatment.
The treatment sensation varies and is dependent on the client’s individual pain threshold. It is often described as like being stung by an elastic band. No anaesthetic is required with most clients describing the discomfort as tolerable.
The hair follicles are damaged by the heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to grow as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
You may find the treated area may be slightly pink straight after treatment but this should return to normal after a few hours.
The number of treatments will vary from person to person according to factors such as the density of hair in the area being treated, the hair colour and the individual’s skin type. Treatments are spaced at 4 – 8 week intervals because of the hair growth cycle. The laser will only target hairs at a particular stage of the growth cycle therefore multiple treatments are required for optimum results.
This depends on the size of the area being treated. An upper lip, for example, can take a matter of minutes whereas an upper back will take considerably longer.
