What's Forever Clear acne treatment for?
Find your way to clear skin
Whether you’re a teen dealing with hormonal acne or an adult trying to figure out adult-onset acne (or an adult seeking relief from their teen who has hormonal acne!), we’ve got you covered.
Forever Clear is an acne treatment that uses advanced light-pulsing technology to target acne-causing irritants at their roots. For those looking for acne treatments in or near Toledo, Forever Clear from Blush Aesthetics is the key to clear, confidence-boosting skin.

What causes acne?
A range of internal and external factors can offset your skin’s delicate ecosystem. For example, an internal hormonal imbalance can lead to excess oil production, clogging your pores and trapping bacteria. Other variables are within your control, such as your diet, which can also provoke overactive oil glands and bacteria growth. No matter the trigger, clogged pores and bacteria cause acne, which a Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Toledo targets at the source.



The Science Behind Forever Clear BBL
Forever Clear BBL (broadband light) technology works beneath your skin’s surface, triggering improvements from the inside out. By harnessing multiple wavelengths of light energy, we use this advanced system to target every underlying cause of acne. Unlike surface-level treatments, Forever Clear BBL works deeper in your skin, where oil, bacteria, inflammation, and—you guessed it—acne develop.

1. Blue Light
First, Forever Clear BBL technology delivers waves of blue light to the dermis (the middle layer of skin that contains sebaceous glands and hair follicles) through your pores. When this light reaches your skin, a chemical reaction occurs that creates free radicals and peroxide to kill acne-causing bacteria. This reaction also produces oxygen molecules, calming inflammation. By targeting your skin’s sebaceous glands, which are responsible for oil production, blue light reduces the glands’ size and activity.

2. Yellow Light
The next pass of your Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Toledo uses yellow light to target redness and inflammation on a deeper level. Calming your skin internally not only lessens the appearance of active breakouts, but also prevents future breakouts. Meanwhile, the yellow light also triggers collagen production to move the natural healing process along. Collagen proteins act as your skin’s building blocks, so ramping up production gives your body the resources to naturally rebuild your complexion.

3. Infrared Light
Lastly, infrared light waves, which are invisible to the human eye, further help the natural healing process. Infrared light helps rejuvenate the skin from the bacteria-killing yellow light, reaching into your pores and triggering the production of new, healthy skin cells. By initiating your body’s injury response, infrared light repairs damaged tissues to improve your skin’s look, feel, and overall health.
How it Works




Expediting the Healing Process
Inflammation isn’t all bad—it’s part of the natural healing process. However, reoccurring breakouts can lead to chronic inflammation, interfering with that natural process.
Our Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Toledo doesn’t just target pimples; it improves your overall complexion by accelerating healing. By ramping up collagen production and sending your body into “recovery mode,” this unique combination of light waves goes beyond killing acne-causing bacteria to perfect its texture, smoothing indented scar tissue left behind.

Beyond clearing out existing acne triggers, we use this technology to make your skin more resilient to internal and external threats, throwing a wrench into acne’s toxic cycle.

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.
The main thing you need to avoid after acne treatment with ForeverClear, besides picking at your skin, is the sun! Wear your sunscreen and try to stay out of sunlight.
There is some recovery time after acne treatment with Forever Clear! 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.
How many Forever Clear treatments you need depends on the severity of your acne and acne scarring. Typically, patients need 8 sessions to start out before moving to maintenance treatments 1 to 2 times per 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.
No. Although people tend to lump BBL (broadband light) into laser therapy, BBL is not a laser. While BBL works similarly to a laser, it’s powered by multiple wavelengths rather than one. This grants our skin specialists the power to manipulate every wavelength and target your specific skin concerns at the root. Plus, it works more comfortably and requires less downtime than traditional laser treatments. BBL is an advanced form of intense pulsed light (IPL) technology.
Over the next 48 hours after treatment, the system’s blue light kills acne-causing bacteria. Meanwhile, the yellow and infrared light waves speed up the healing process for an almost immediate reduction in redness and inflammation from current breakouts.
While many patients notice improvements after their first Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Toledo, our skin specialists typically recommend a series of treatments for the best results. Every session ramps up collagen production, but remember that it takes time for your skin to rebuild, as this is a gradual process. Once your skin has cleared, you’ll continue to notice improvements in its texture as collagen accumulates over the following weeks.
While both Forever Clear BBL and a BBL photofacial use similar IPL technology, they use different wavelengths to address different concerns. Unlike Forever Clear BBL, which is specifically designed for acne, a BBL photofacial is designed to improve your complexion’s overall tone by:
- Minimize sun and age spots
- Reducing redness (including rosacea)
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Stimulate collagen production
While a photofacial’s HERO technology can also target acne, it’s not the primary or only goal. We’ll help you weigh your options during your consultation, but remember, neither is universally better than the other; instead, each offers different advantages for different scenarios, so one may suit your concerns more effectively than the other.
We’re in this journey together, so rest assured that your Blush provider will walk you through exactly how to care for your skin before you leave our office. It’s important to use gentle products, including SPF, to keep your skin protected as it heals. Do not pick at, rub, or exfoliate your skin. Allow it to heal on its own, and remember that some flakiness and minor swelling are to be expected.
Hydration is your friend and heat, whether it be from the sun, a sauna, or exercise, is not (in the meantime, at least). Heat can interfere with the natural healing process, so it’s important to stay cool and clean over the following days.
We’re Here to Clear the Path
Where you go for your Forever Clear BBL acne treatment in Toledo matters.

Our team doesn’t settle for “good enough,” and neither should you.
