Acne doesn’t just affect teenagers—it’s a frustrating and often stubborn condition that can impact anyone at any age. Whether you're dealing with chronic breakouts, acne scars, or inflammation, Forever Clear BBL by Sciton offers a safe, effective and no-downtime solution to help you reclaim clear, healthy skin.
Powered by Sciton’s BroadBand Light (BBL) HERO™ technology, this treatment uses the power of light to target acne at its source—without harsh medications or downtime.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what Forever Clear BBL is, how it works, and whether it’s the right option for your skin.
Forever Clear BBL is a clinically proven, FDA-cleared broadband light therapy treatment that uses Sciton’s BroadBand Light (BBL) to treat active acne, reduce inflammation, and improve skin clarity. Unlike topical treatments or medications that work on the surface, Forever Clear BBL targets acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin. It’s suitable for patients of all ages who struggle with acne-prone skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or acne scarring. Treatments are safe, fast, and suitable for the face, neck, chest, and back. With no systemic effects, this treatment is also safe for women who are trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding.
Forever Clear BBL uses a three-step process combining blue, yellow, and infrared light wavelengths to treat acne at every stage:
1. Blue Light – Eliminates Acne-Causing Bacteria
The blue BBL light penetrates deep into the pores to destroy P. acnes bacteria, which are responsible for breakouts.
2. Yellow Light – Reduces Redness and Inflammation
Yellow light targets inflammation, calming irritated skin and reducing redness often associated with acne lesions.
3. Infrared Light – Promotes Healing and Skin Renewal
Finally, infrared light stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and boosts collagen, helping to fade post-acne scars and improve overall texture.
Forever Clear BBL treatments are fast (10- 15min), comfortable, and require no downtime.
Forever Clear BBL is versatile and can address a wide range of common skin concerns, including:
Note: For severe acne, medications such as isotretinoin (Accutane) may still be required. For severe acne scars, laser treatments such as fractional CO2 laser may be recommended.
The 4 key BBL treatment protocols are: Forever Young, Forever Clear, Forever Bare and Skintyte
Forever Young BBL: This treatment aims for skin rejuvenation, brightening and anti-ageing
Forever Clear BBL: This treatment targets acne-prone skin, destroying the acne bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting skin recovery
Forever Bare BBL: This laser hair removal treatment achieves long-term hair reduction without pain or downtimeSkintyte BBL: This treatment performs non-invasive skin tightening and lifting of sagging and loose skin
The legacy Sciton BBL was launched in 2004 and set the standard for pulsed light technology treatments. Building upon the legacy Sciton BBL (“BBL Classic”), came the BBL HERO (Broad Band Light High Energy Rapid Output), which featured a faster firing rate 4Hz (vs 1Hz), allowing for smooth movement with continuous firing. BBL HERO treatments allow for better treatment coverage, less risk of burns and are more comfortable. Other features of the BBL HERO include a contact cooling sapphire crystal, multiple size adapters and quick change filters.
Forever Clear BBL is now performed using BBL HERO™ on most Sciton platforms, making it faster, safer, and more effective than ever before.
There are many lasers making big claims, but few have actual clinical studies and science to back them up. Sciton BBL HERO has multiple published clinical studies to support its effectiveness for skin rejuvenation, anti-ageing and acne treatment. Dr Patrick Bitter (USA) described the Forever Clear BBL 3 step protocol in his 2016 publication, where he treated a series of patients with moderate acne with Forever Clear BBL treatments (5 treatments). Another 2020 clinical study showed that over 80% of patients experienced a significant reduction in acne lesions after just a few treatments. Blue light therapy is well-supported by dermatological research for its antibacterial effects, while red and infrared light are shown to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
The Forever Clear BBL treatment pairs well with other in-clinic treatments
For patients seeking an instant and red carpet worthy glow: Pair with a Hydrafacial treatment, a 30-minute 3-step medi-facial that cleanses, extracts, nourishes and protects skin. The Hydrafacial and Forever Clear BBL Combo has no downtime and is a favourite amongst busy working professionals and celebrities. Hydrafacial treatment has been shown to be effective in treating oily, acne-prone skin.
For patients looking for significant rejuvenation, consider combining the Forever Clear BBL treatment with MOXI Laser. Known as the BBL MOXI Combo, a single treatment is able to take years off your skin. This treatment is popularised by US Celebrity and beauty mogul Kim Kardashian, who raved about the BBL MOXI Combo as her “Fountain of Youth”.
Patients often see visible improvement within 1–2 sessions, though optimal results typically require a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Patients treated with Forever Clear BBL experience: Reduced redness and active breakouts, fewer acne lesions, smoother skin tone, less post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Results are long-lasting when paired with proper skincare and maintenance treatments every few months.
