The Rejuvaderm Ageless (Forever Young) BBL is a non-surgical procedure that utilises BroadBand Light (BBL), a specific type of intense pulsed light (IPL). This technology delivers light energy to the epidermis and dermis, targeting chromophores such as melanin and hemoglobin to address various skin conditions associated with ageing and sun exposure.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Rejuvaderm Ageless (Forever Young) BBL is a medical treatment that employs phototherapy to address signs of photoageing and other skin irregularities. The system uses a broad range of light wavelengths that can be filtered to selectively target specific structures within the skin. This process can assist in managing pigmentation, vascular lesions, and textural changes by stimulating the body’s natural processes.
Key Benefits of Rejuvaderm Ageless at Dermedica:
Illustration: A clinician performs a BroadBand Light (BBL) procedure on a patient’s face. The patient wears protective eye shields while a cooling gel is applied to the skin. The handheld device emits pulses of light, targeting pigmentation, redness, and signs of ageing in a safe, non-invasive way.
Your Treatment Journey
Step 1
Consultation
An in-person assessment with Dr. Teh or her team to discuss your skin concerns, assess suitability for Forever Young BBL, and explain the treatment in full, including risks and alternatives.
Step 2
Treatment Plan
If suitable, a personalised plan is created — outlining the number of sessions, expected improvements in pigmentation, redness, or sun damage, and realistic timeframes tailored to your goals.
Step 3
The Session
A cooling gel is applied to the skin before the Forever Young BBL device delivers pulses of light. Patients typically feel a gentle warmth or light snapping sensation, carefully monitored for comfort.
Step 4
The Review
Dr. Teh’s team will follow up to review your progress, monitor skin response, and discuss whether further sessions may be beneficial for long-term rejuvenation and clarity.

Your Treating Doctor
Dr. Teh has over 20 years of clinical experience in non-surgical cosmetic medicine. Every Rejuvaderm Ageless treatment plan at Dermedica begins with an in-person assessment to determine suitability and design a plan specific to you.
Treatment Cost
The cost of a Rejuvaderm depends on the number of sessions recommended, the treatment areas, and your individual skin goals. Dr. Teh will provide an accurate, itemised quote following your consultation to ensure transparency and personalised care.
Gene expression is the process by which information in a gene is used to help the body produce proteins. Protein production is part of how cells function and renew over time. Gene activity can be influenced by factors such as ageing and environmental exposure.
RejuvaDerm Ageless is a light‑based, non‑invasive skin treatment intended to improve overall skin appearance. Some treatment protocols describe effects on cellular signalling pathways involved in skin renewal. Your clinician will explain how the treatment is expected to work for your specific skin concerns and what outcomes are realistic for you.
The number of sessions varies between individuals and depends on your skin concerns, the area treated, and your goals. Your clinician will recommend a personalised plan during consultation. Maintenance sessions may be suggested depending on your skin and ongoing sun exposure, but outcomes and longevity vary.
Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest (décolletage), shoulders, and the backs of the hands. Your clinician will confirm which areas are appropriate for treatment based on assessment.
Your eyes are protected with safety shields or glasses. A topical anaesthetic is not always required, but may be used for sensitive areas. During treatment you may feel brief warmth or a quick snapping sensation as energy is delivered to the skin. The session length typically ranges from a few minutes up to around 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
This is generally considered a non‑invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Many people can return to normal activities soon after treatment. Your clinician will advise you on what to expect based on your skin type and treatment settings.
Some people experience temporary redness that typically settles within hours. For certain pigmented spots, the treated area may darken before gradually fading. Skin may feel smoother and look more even over time. Results vary depending on your condition, the area treated, and the number of sessions completed.
Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your clinician. You may be advised to use specific skincare products and to avoid direct sun exposure while the skin is recovering. Use broad‑spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors, as treated skin can be more sensitive to UV exposure.
