Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. Most people ask for treatments on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.

The number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient, and the clinicians at The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery will personalize a plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your clinician may also combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures to optimize your results. Remember that regular treatments—at least once a year—were proven to make patients look ten years younger than when they first started Forever Young BBL treatments.

The Woodruff Institute’s clinicians can fine tune Forever Young BBL for your skin type and for your ideal results. The long term effects have been proven in most skin types, including people with olive to darker skin. Men, women, fair, dark…almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of Forever Young BBL.

Forever Young BBL isn’t just a beauty treatment. It’s a preventive regimen— possibly the best investment anyone can make in his or her skin. Both men and women with almost any skin type can protect themselves against the sun and environmental damage that adds up over time.

Since the ten-year study shows that regular Forever Young BBL treatments stop the skin’s appearance of aging…why wait?
