The Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Duo

MOXI and BBL work together to transform skin from the inside out, making them the perfect combination for anyone looking to refresh, brighten, and smooth their complexion. MOXI is a fractional laser treatment that gently resurfaces the skin, promoting collagen production and improving texture, while BBL (BroadBand Light) targets discoloration, redness, and uneven skin tone using powerful light energy. When paired, these treatments address multiple skin concerns at once—BBL corrects pigmentation and sun damage on the surface, while MOXI stimulates deep skin renewal to refine pores, soften fine lines, and boost overall radiance. This dual approach enhances results beyond what either treatment can achieve alone, leading to smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime. Whether you want to combat early signs of aging, fade stubborn discoloration, or achieve an overall glow-up, MOXI + BBL delivers comprehensive skin rejuvenation that looks as good as it feels.

MOXI + BBL is $900 for one treatment, or $1,500 for two

BBL Forever Young

BBL Forever Young is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage at a cellular level. Using targeted pulses of BroadBand Light, this treatment reduces pigmentation, redness, and fine lines while stimulating collagen production to restore skin’s natural firmness and glow. With regular sessions, BBL Forever Young helps maintain long-term skin health, promoting a smoother, more even-toned complexion. It’s perfect for anyone looking to refresh their skin with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

BBL Forever Clear

BBL Forever Clear is a powerful acne-fighting treatment that targets breakouts at the source using three wavelengths of BroadBand Light. Blue light eliminates acne-causing bacteria, yellow light reduces inflammation and redness, and infrared light promotes healing and collagen production. This non-invasive treatment is an excellent option for those struggling with active acne, acne scars, or inflammation, delivering clearer, healthier-looking skin without the need for harsh medications. Safe for all skin types, BBL Forever Clear helps you achieve a smoother, blemish-free complexion with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare for my treatment?

After your consultation with True and your Patch Test (Fitz I – III can opt out of the Patch Test), which are required to receive BBL treatment, please follow these general guidelines:

Avoid sun exposure, tanning or chemical (fake) tanning agents for 21 days prior

Moisturize your skin to support healing.

Discontinue retinoids & exfoliants – Stop using products like retinol, glycolic acid, and salicylic

acid for 3–5 days before your appointment.

Skip harsh treatments – Avoid waxing, peels, or other resurfacing treatments in the area for at

least 1 week.

Clean skin only – Arrive with a clean face (no makeup, lotion, or SPF on the treatment area).

Medications – Let your provider know if you’re taking any medications that increase

photosensitivity (e.g., antibiotics).

A BBL session is quick and straightforward, typically lasting 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Cleansing: Your skin will be cleansed to remove makeup, sunscreen, or any debris.
  2. Protective Eyewear: You will wear goggles to shield your eyes from the light pulses.
  3. Application of Cooling Gel: A cooling gel may be applied to enhance comfort and allow better light penetration.
  4. BBL Treatment: The device delivers pulses of light energy to the skin, targeting pigment, redness, and vascular concerns.
  5. Post-Treatment Care: A soothing serum or SPF may be applied to protect the skin after the session.

BBL is generally well-tolerated, with most clients describing it as a warm snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band lightly flicking the skin. A cooling tip on the device helps minimize discomfort, and numbing is not typically needed.

BBL is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime. After treatment:

  • Your skin may appear slightly red or flushed for a few hours, similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Dark spots and pigmentation may temporarily darken before flaking off over 5-7 days—this is normal and part of the skin renewal process.
  • Mild swelling or warmth may persist for a day or two, but most clients return to their normal activities immediately.

 

Results develop gradually as the skin heals and regenerates. Many clients notice brighter, clearer skin within 5-7 days, with continued improvements over the next few weeks.

  • BBL Forever Young treatments work to reverse aging at a cellular level, with cumulative benefits over multiple sessions.
  • BBL Forever Clear for acne provides visible reduction in breakouts and inflammation after a series of treatments.

For best results, a series of 3-5 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart is typically recommended.

To optimize results and promote proper healing:

  • -Sun Protection: Apply SPF 30+ daily for several weeks.
  • Moisturize your skin to support healing.
  • Avoid Heat & Intense Activity for 48 hours.
  • Don’t Pick at Skin: Mild dryness or flaking is normal.
  • Makeup: Can resume after 24 hours for BBL
  • No actives for 7 days post treatmentNo hot tubs, saunas or pools for 72 hours
     
    No treatment is an eraser; our skin is a living organ. Over time, vascularities, sun spot or other pigmented conditions may reoccur, requiring future treatments.
     
    Downtime: immediately you may experience mild swelling and redness similar to a sunburn, light peeling or skin flakiness, if treating sunspots you may notice darkening of pigment before they slough off in roughly 7-10 days
BBL is not suited for everyone; your safety is our priority, and as such, if you have any of the following conditions, we do not recommend proceeding.
 
  • Active skin infections or wounds (cold sores, etc.)
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Skin cancer or malignant lesions
  • Sunburned or tanned skin
  • Recent use of self-tanning products
  • Photosensitizing medications (e.g., Accutane, certain antibiotics)
  • Active skin conditions (acne, eczema)
  • Darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI, higher risk of pigmentation issues)
  • History of epilepsy
  • Melasma
