Forever Clear requires little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness right after, but you should not feel significant discomfort. While some patients return to their normal day-to-day schedule after treatment—including putting on makeup—we recommend taking the rest of the day off and/or taking a long weekend to help your skin recover properly.

Break Up With Breakouts for Good
What's Forever Clear acne treatment for?
Blackheads
Open comedones are clogged pores that stay open, typically concentrated around the nose, chin, and forehead.
Whiteheads
Closed comedones are clogged pores that close up, leaving behind a small whitish-colored bump.
Papules
Deeper clogs cause small, red bumps. They feel hard and can make the skin feel like sandpaper.
Pustules
Pustules are the traditional pimple with a "head" of light-colored pus.

What causes acne?
A range of factors can mess with your skin’s balance—some you can control, and some you can’t. Hormones, for example, can kick oil production into overdrive, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Even what you eat can play a role. The good news? Forever Clear BBL blue light acne therapy in Columbus goes straight to the source, targeting bacteria and helping your skin stay clear and calm.
The Science Behind Forever Clear BBL
Forever Clear BBL (broadband light) works below the surface to clear your skin from the inside out. Using multiple wavelengths of light, this advanced treatment targets the root causes of acne—like excess oil, bacteria, and inflammation—right where they start, not just on the surface.
Step One: Blue Light
Forever Clear BBL uses blue light to reach deep into the dermis—the layer of skin where oil glands and hair follicles live. As the light travels through your pores, it triggers a chemical reaction that creates free radicals and peroxide to kill acne-causing bacteria. At the same time, it generates oxygen to calm inflammation. By focusing on the sebaceous glands (the ones responsible for oil), the blue light helps shrink them and reduce oil production overall.
Step Two: Yellow Light
The next step of your Forever Clear BBL acne treatment uses yellow light to calm redness and inflammation from within. This helps soothe active breakouts and makes future ones less likely. Plus, yellow light jumpstarts collagen production—your skin’s natural building blocks—which supports healing and helps restore a smoother, clearer complexion over time.
Step Three: Infrared Light
Finally, infrared light—though invisible to the eye—kicks your skin’s natural healing into high gear. It reaches deep into your pores to encourage the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells. By activating your body’s repair response, infrared light helps heal damaged tissue, improving your skin’s tone, texture, and overall health.
How it Works
01. Consultation
While not required, we highly recommend starting with a consultation! We’ll review your health history, assess your skin, and chat about your current skincare routine so we can fully understand your needs.
02. Determine Treatment
Based on your consultation, we’ll let you know if Forever Clear is the best fit—or if another acne treatment might be better for your skin. If you're ready to begin, we can schedule your first session right away!
03. Treatment
Sit back and relax as we pass the Forever Clear BBL device over the treatment areas. The session includes 3 steps: blue light to kill bacteria, yellow light to calm inflammation, and infrared light to promote healing.
04. Aftercare
Post-treatment, it's best to avoid sun exposure and follow your provider’s specific aftercare instructions. Most patients can wear makeup shortly after, but we’ll make sure you know exactly how to care for your skin.
Expediting the Healing Process
Inflammation plays an important role in healing, but when breakouts keep coming back, they can become chronic and slow down your skin’s recovery.
Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Columbus goes beyond clearing up breakouts—it helps restore your overall complexion. By boosting collagen and triggering your body’s natural repair response, this multi-step light therapy not only kills acne-causing bacteria but also helps smooth out the texture of your skin, including indented scars left behind by past breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acne Treatments
No, Forever Clear is not just for the face! We can treat acne anywhere it appears, including common places like the chest, back, and upper arms.
This depends on your skin and the severity of your acne. Some people see improvements after just 1 treatment, but clearer, smoother skin typically develops over a series of sessions as inflammation decreases and healing accelerates.
Many people benefit from a series of 4 to 8 treatments spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions 1 to 2 times a year.
Yes, Forever Clear is a great acne treatment option for teens! With parental consent, we can use Forever Clear BBL acne treatments on patients as young as 16.
In the 48 hours following your treatment with blue light acne therapy in Columbus, the treatment continues working to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, while the yellow and infrared wavelengths jumpstart your skin’s healing response. This often leads to a noticeable reduction in redness and inflammation from active breakouts.
Many patients see visible improvements after just one Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Columbus, but for optimal results, our specialists usually recommend a series of sessions. Each visit boosts collagen production to support long-term healing and smoother texture. As your skin continues to renew itself, you’ll see clearer, more even-toned skin over the following weeks.
Your Blush provider will give you clear, personalized aftercare instructions before you leave our office. To protect your skin as it heals, we recommend using gentle skincare products and daily SPF. Avoid picking, rubbing, or exfoliating; some flaking or minor swelling is completely normal and part of the process.
Hydration is key during recovery, but heat is not. Try to avoid things like hot showers, sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for a few days. Staying cool and keeping your skin clean will support optimal healing and help you achieve the best results.
