Stay Forever Young
Reprogram the age of your skin
Skin is in a state of constant turnover, with new cells being created in the deepest layers. This process includes gene expression, which is how a cell receives its genetic code. It’s also a critical part of how skin ages. As more genes associated with aging are activated over time, the structure and appearance of skin changes. And there’s no way to change it back….until now.
Introducing Forever Young BBL™ with Hero technology – a revolutionary treatment that sends light energy deep into skin to boost the body’s natural ability to fight aging and the treatment takes just minutes to complete. Skin doesn’t just look younger—it’s genetically programmed to be younger!

Results
Forever Young BBL™ at Amy Brenner, MD & Associates delivers excellent results to the vast majority of people. It decreases sun damage, diminishes redness, increases light reflectivity, and pores and fine lines decrease as well. It is easily the most effective, no-downtime treatment ever developed in aesthetics.
Initially, 3-5 treatments at 4-6 week intervals will produce the best results. 2-4 treatments as maintenance is an excellent way to slow down the aging process.
After a series of traditional BBL treatments, most of our clients see improvement in nearly every aspect of their skin. BBL Laser is also one of the most effective ways to slow down the aging process. Having 2-3 treatments per year as maintenance is a fantastic anti-aging program.
How does FOREVER YOUNG BBL TURN BACK THE CLOCK?
Your DNA is a unique blueprint that only you have. Certain genes can express themselves (turn on or off) based on factors like aging and other environmental components. As we age, the genes within our skin cells are programmed to express themselves differently than they did when we were younger. Forever Young BBL reaches deep into the cell and activates certain genes associated with youth, while turning off other genes tied to aging.
As a result, you create more of the kinds of proteins and other building blocks you had when you were younger. New skin cells are actually programmed to be younger, giving you beautiful, youthful skin.
It may sound impossible, but that’s what reprogramming your skin’s age with regular Forever Young BBL treatments can do. It was proven in a 10-year clinical study—one of the longest studies ever to show the results of a skin care regimen.
Process & Results
Forever Young BBL
Step 1.
The Consultation
In your initial consultation for a BBL Treatment in Cincinnati, your provider will take high-resolution photos of your face to help determine the best treatment plant. At this time they’ll go over what to expect, side effects and expected results.
Step 2.
Cleanse the Skin
Before the treatment, the treated area will be cleaned and a clear gel is applied. Our provider assesses and cleanses the area to be treated and marks any areas to be avoided (such as a mole, permanent make up, tattoo, etc.).
Step 3.
Further Safety Preparation
A headband is placed on the patient to provide a clearer working surface and protective eyewear will be provided to be worn during the entire treatment.
Step 4.
Deliver the Light
Light is delivered to the skin’s surface in precise pulses across the treatment area. The light will appear bright even with the protective eyewear. Your procedure may take a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of area being treated.
Step 5.
Apply Gel
After treatment is complete the gel is cleaned and a hydrating cream and sun-block is applied.
Step 6
Post Treatment
The treatment area may appear red or flushed, something that usually fades within a few hours. Individuals with prominent pigmentation may notice that brown areas become temporarily darker for 10-14 days. For ForeverYoung BBL, there is virtually no post care needed, but we do recommend a high quality sunscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What is gene expression?
Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule. Gene expression is part of how your body creates new cells. Your DNA is a unique blueprint that only you have. Certain genes can express themselves (turn on or off) based on factors like aging and other environmental components. As we age, the genes within our skin cells are programmed to express themselves differently than when we were younger.
How does Forever Young BBL reprogram the age of my skin?
Forever Young BBL reaches deep into the cell and activates certain genes associated with youth, while turning off other genes tied to aging. As a result, you create more of the kinds of proteins and other building blocks you had when you were younger. New skin cells are actually programmed to be younger, giving you beautiful, youthful skin.
Can you prove Forever Young BBL really makes skin younger?
Yes! Ground-breaking research performed at Stanford University shows that BBL influences gene expression and changes skin at a molecular level. The study showed that literally hundreds of genes that are known to be associated with younger skin were activated while
others, associated with aging, were turned off. (1)
But that’s not all. A long-term clinical study showed that patients who received regular BBL treatments over the course of a decade were judged by doctors to appear 11 years younger than their actual age at the study’s end. In other words, they looked younger than when they started the study! (2)

How many treatments will I need?
The number of BBL photofacial treatments needed varies from patient to patient, and your clinician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your clinician may also combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures to optimize your results.
Remember that regular treatments—at least once a year—have been proven to stop the aging process, allowing patients to look younger than they did when they started treatment 10 years prior.
What areas can be treated?
Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.
What will happen during the procedure?
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. Usually, there is no need for a topical anesthetic; however, your clinician may choose to use one when treating more sensitive areas. You may briefly feel a warm or quick snapping sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure performed.
How long will it take to recover?
BBL is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities immediately.
What should I expect after the treatment?
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions, you will see a darkening of the treated area followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Your treated skin will feel smoother, pores will be less noticeable, and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade. Results depend on your condition, the number of treatments, and the area treated. Your clinician will provide you with complete information about the post treatment care and results.
What aftercare plan do I need?
It is important to follow your clinician’s treatment plan. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
