One of the most popular combo services here at NOVA Plastic Surgery for facial rejuvenation is our youthful combo – Botox with BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) – we call it our ‘Forever Young Package.’
Botox for smoother appearance – treating fine lines and wrinkles.
BBL for smooth even skin tone – treating age spots, red spots, sun damaged skin and freckles.
BOTOX – for smoother appearance
Botox injections are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles in the upper face – forehead creases, between the eyebrows, and crows feet around the eyes – are the areas botox is most commonly administered.
Our fine lines and wrinkles are the result of using the same facial muscles to make the same expressions over and over. Over time this causes deep wrinkles to develop. Botox injections relax the facial muscles that you use most often by stopping the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. This results in a weakening or temporary paralyzation of the muscle. Then the skin over the wrinkle relaxes as well, smoothing out the appearance of the skin.
BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) – for smooth even skin tone
We ask a lot from our skin, and most of us will expose it to many conditions and experiences that can cause it to show signs of aging and even damage. The signs and damage often appear as uneven skin, age spots, red spots, sun damaged skin and multiplying freckles.
BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) – also known as intense pulsed light therapy (IPL), photorejuvenation, and a photo facial – uses targeted bursts of filtered light to penetrate beneath the surface of the skin and help erase, repair or even eliminate red spots, brown age spots, sun spots, freckles and so forth.
What Does The Forever Young Facial Rejuvenation Package Include?
The Forever Young Package includes 20 units of Botox with Facial BBL.
The cost is $500 for the combo treatment.
Results of Botox treatments
There was a study of twins published in 2006 in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery following identical twins to evaluate the long term effects of using botox injections.
One of the twins started having botox at 25 years of age on a regular basis every 4-6 months (2-3 times per year) for the past 13 years. The other has only had a few injections over that period of time.
These pictures are from the original study showing the difference after 13 years. 
As you can see, there is a clear difference in the quality of the skin between the two twins. This study proved that botox injections used on a regular basis over time does in fact prevent the effects of aging.
Results of BBL treatments
You will be amazed at the results of the two women featured in the video below – one having BBL for sun damage to the chest, the other having BBL treatment for freckles that were multiplying and grouping together with age.
According to Dr. Glynis Ablon, featured in the video – the BBL treatments make patients look 10 years younger! We’ve also witnessed that to be the case with our Medspa clients – they just look so fresh with these treatments.
Dr. Ablon says that the treatment not only attacks sun damage but turns on the genes that regenerate the skin and promote collagen tightening, which is simply amazing.

A Great Youthful Combo
Together botox and BBL make a great youthful combo!
Botox for smoother appearance – treating fine lines and wrinkles.
BBL for smooth even skin tone – treating age spots, red spots, sun damaged skin and freckles.
Many of our customers have both the botox and BBL treatment on the same day because the combo works better than just having botox alone. For example, your botox treatment is going to make you look younger, without a doubt. It will smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles in the upper face.
But, what if you have sun spots caused by sun damage? Your skin may look smooth but might have a motley uneven appearance, which isn’t going to be overly appealing. Often those spots can be hard to cover up with makeup too. That’s why the two treatments work so well together.
You not only get your fine lines and wrinkles smoothed out, but your skin will have a smooth even tone. Then, wearing makeup becomes much easier, and even if you’re not wearing it you’ll have a nice overall skin tone.
