If you are seeking hair reduction or removal in certain bodily areas, learn more about our Forever BARE procedure. Our dedicated team at MUSE Clinic are happy to provide you with a personalised treatment plan in a private consultation.
What is Forever BARE BBL by Sciton?
Forever BARE by Sciton is a hair reduction treatment that utilises light-based laser technology (BBL). The device is designed to directly target the hair follicles in order to injure them and impede further hair growth. It uses motion technology and other features to impact the targeted follicles whilst avoiding damage to the skin around them.
Integrated safety features and cooling mechanism are able to aid patient comfort during and after the treatment. Its low-fluency pulses emit at a high repetition rate, which promotes the treatment’s efficiency. Additionally, it contains a sapphire plate which provides cooling and helps maintain a stable skin temperature.
At MUSE Clinic, we adjust each hair reduction treatment to the patient’s desired treatment areas, skin and hair type, and goals.
Benefits of the treatment
Unwanted hair is a common concern among both women and men. Among the many hair removal methods and products, some people may choose to undergo a procedure to reduce or remove hair growth in a particular area. Technologies such as Forever BARE by Sciton make this possible for people who want to permanently reduce hair growth.
Due to its integrated features, Forever BARE is a popular choice for many individuals seeking hair reduction or removal. The benefits may vary in line with individual factors and should be weighed against the risks and side effects. However, the benefits generally include:
- Large spot size – The ability to cover both large and small spot sizes helps us to customise the treatment to your desired treatment areas.
- Cooling sapphire tip –This helps stabilise the surface temperature of the skin and aids patient comfort.
- Customisation –The customisable nature of the device allows us to tailor the treatment to your skin type and hair thickness, helping to create an even distribution of heat into the follicles.
- Multiple treatment areas –We can treat areas such as the neck, face, legs, back, abdomen, and arms.
- Versatility – The treatment is also suitable for a range of skin types and hair colours, making it versatile compared to other hair reduction options.
Please note that each patient is unique and may have different experiences of the treatment benefits. Ensure you discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of the procedure with your clinician before you proceed with hair reduction treatment.
Good candidates for Forever BARE BBL
As the treatment can suit people of different skin tones and hair types, it can suit a wide range of people seeking hair removal. We are able to treat men and women with both light and dark skin tones, as well as different hair textures and colours. Additionally, we are able to treat areas that may be more sensitive, such as the upper lip.
However, not everyone may be suitable, so it’s best to consult with a professional regarding your candidacy. The treatment is not suitable for pregnant women, for example. It may also not be suitable for people with very fair hair, such as light blonde or white hair.
Forever BARE BBL Consultation
A consultation is your opportunity to discuss your concerns about unwanted hair growth with a trained professional. Your practitioner will ask you questions about your hair reduction goals and how Forever BARE treatment may be able to help. By discussing your goals with us, we can develop a treatment plan that serves your needs, and you can gain an understanding of what the treatment entails in your case. Our team is committed to providing patient-centred treatment plans to help accommodate each person’s needs and cosmetic goals.
Forever BARE BBL by Sciton Procedure and aftercare
During your treatment, your physician will apply a gel to your treatment area and customise the handheld device. Your practitioner is able to pre-set the skin type and hair follicle size appropriate for you. This helps create an even distribution of hair follicle heating. Then, when moved over the treatment site, the device heats the follicles by targeting the pigment within the hair shaft. If required, we can treat a large surface area at once, which can help treat broader areas such as the legs or chest.
Afterwards, patients can return to their usual activities, but it’s a good idea to avoid sun exposure and heat. When it comes to results, be mindful that good outcomes are not guaranteed. It’s important to know that several treatment sessions might be necessary to achieve the hair reduction you want. Also, due to the lifecycle of the hair follicles, it may take time for your hair to process the effects of treatment and fall out.
Risks and Side Effects of Forever BARE BBL by Sciton
It is common to experience some mild side effects, such as redness, after a Forever BARE treatment. This might appear like a mild sunburn and should fade within a couple of days. In rare cases, it’s possible to experience more severe effects, including burns, persistent discomfort, blisters, or skin pigmentation.
At MUSE Clinic we take great care to prioritise patient well-being and comfort. If you notice anything concerning after your treatment, contact us or seek medical advice.
It’s a good idea to regularly apply sunscreen, and notify the clinic if you experience any adverse symptoms. Over the next few weeks, depending on your treatment plan, the skin should begin to increase collagen production.
