Forever Young BBL
Am I a candidate?At the Dr. Susan Seman Solution, our patients have trusted us to help revitalize their skin—and deliver beautiful results—for years.
Often, incorporating photofacials into your long-term care plan can help us target age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and more. This technique was created by Sciton, a world leader in laser and light technology. It’s called the Forever Young BBL™, and for a good reason! It’s one of the most versatile, popular treatments we have in our toolkit for keeping our clients looking youthful and refreshed.
When you book a photofacial with the Dr. Susan Seman Solution at our West Bloomfield Township office, your appointment will be preceded by an in-depth consultation to determine your needs. This allows us to discuss your skin type, your specific concerns, and the treatment area you’d like to address. We like to say that the Forever Young BBL is gentle enough for all skin types and sensitivities, but powerful enough to treat deeper skin concerns than a normal facial could.

We’ll listen to all of your concerns, assess the current condition of your skin, and work with you to determine a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and budget. From beginning to end, you’ll have our full attention and will be treated as a respected and valued guest of our office.
Book your photofacial
Our front desk staff will book your treatment for a day and time that works best for you. Then, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your appointment to help optimize your results.
Arrive for treatment
When you arrive, we’ll make you comfortable in one of our relaxing treatment rooms. We’ll give you a comprehensive review of the treatment, make sure you understand what to expect, and answer any questions you have.
Sit back and relax
Your aesthetician will treat you evenly and accurately. Our team is expertly educated and trained on the best techniques to ensure we meet your high standards and expectations. During a photofacial, we will instruct you to keep your eyes closed. However, you’re free to listen to music, chat with your aesthetician, or simply lay back and relax.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does BBL and ForeverYoung BBL work?
BBL deposits pulses of light energy that gently heats the upper layers of skin. Within the skin, the light energy is absorbed by targets, such as fine, broken vessels that cause redness and brown spots or pigmented lesions that are caused by an overproduction of melanin. This scientific and biological process destroys the target, eliminating it from the skin and restoring it to its natural beauty, blending its natural tones, making it more vibrant and youthful in appearance and touch.
How many photofacials will I need?
The number of treatments needed to achieve the desired look varies from client to client. The extent of damage, the size of the area we're treating, and the level of improvement desired will affect how many treatments may be recommended by our professionals.
What can I expect during the procedure?
This is a gentle, non-invasive, and safe procedure. Most patients do not experience any discomfort and report feeling a warm, popping sensation in the treated area.
What happens after a Forever Young BBL photofacial?
Immediately following the treatment you may experience some redness or irritation that should disappear after a few hours. There's no downtime, however, and you're free to resume your normal activities after treatment. Several days after your session, your skin will feel smoother, pores will be less visible, and age spots and sun damage will be faded.
Can areas other than the face benefit from Forever Young BBL photofacials?
Yes! In addition to your face, we can also treat your neck, chest, arms, shoulders, and hands with Forever Young BBL photofacials.
