What is Forever Clear BBL?
Forever Clear BBL is a light-based acne treatment that clears breakouts without harsh medications or oral antibiotics. It uses blue light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, yellow light to reduce inflammation and redness, and a gentle skin-tightening treatment to stimulate the body's natural healing process. Sessions take 15-30 minutes and can be performed anywhere on the body with active acne, typically the face, chest, or back. It has virtually no downtime and minimal discomfort. Multiple sessions are required, with best results seen with treatments every 2 weeks for at least 3-6 sessions.

What should I know about cold sores and warts?
Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus, and if someone has one on their mouth, they are highly contagious. Warts are also a contagious virus. Walking barefoot at public pools, gyms, or public showers can lead to warts. Wearing flip-flops or sandals can prevent warts in public places.
