Forever young
By Beth Newcomb
“We are blown away by the results,” proclaims Dr. Tricia Bedrick, owner of NEOSkin Center. “Instead of changing the proven technology that’s been around for 15 years, we’re utilizing a different BBL protocol. The result is the Forever Young Photo Facial—and it’s a game changer.”
For less than the cost of a laser procedure, the Forever Young Photo Facial works via the targeted power of broadband light. And while BBL is not a new treatment method on the anti-aging spectrum, its use in the Forever Young Photo Facial method is.
“A Beverly Hills dermatologist discovered that by increasing the number of pulses of BBL, skin could be returned to a younger-looking state,” Dr. Bedrick explains. “While the Photo Facial helps eliminate pigmentation, broken capillaries and redness, it also tightens the skin and boosts collagen production.”
The science behind the approach to using the Forever Young BBL in a manner that differs from its previous use has been proven.
“There was a long-term study involving patients receiving regular BBL treatments over the course of a decade,” Dr. Bedrick explains.
With the Forever Young Photo Facial, patients appeared 11 years younger than their actual age—or younger than they did when the study began. The Forever Young Photo Facial bridges the gap for people who don’t want the downtime associated with a laser treatment. With the Forever Young Photo Facial, downtime is minimal—typically just a day of minimal redness. Makeup can also be worn if needed.
“We put different filters on the machine to target the treatment for different concerns, like sun damage, redness, uneven skin tone and wrinkles.”
You can also combine treatments by incorporating the Forever Young Photo Facial with the Halo laser for complete skin rejuvenation. The Halo laser eliminates years of damage and transforms the skin’s overall tone and texture while removing discoloration, reducing pore size and significantly increasing your skin’s collagen. This treatment results in a luminous glow.
“A skin cell is like a factory,” Dr. Bedrick explains. “Its job is to make collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Our skin factory works at 100 percent capacity when we’re young, but as we age it slows down. With the Forever Young Photo Facial, the genes get stimulated to start working at maximum capacity again.”
Dr. Bedrick recommends a series of three Forever Young treatments. The cost for one treatment normally is $499. If you purchase the series of three Forever Young treatments the cost is $1212, a 10 percent savings.
In addition to offering a full spectrum of fillers, Botox, chemical peels and laser treatment, NEOSkin also has ZO medical-grade skin care that treats a wide range of skin conditions and an Acne Clinic that boasts a 90% clear complexion in 90 days.
