Better Med Spa & Wellness Chicago
About us

Our providers take a personalized, medical-first approach to every skin concern. For acne, that might mean combining treatments like our Acne Fighter Facial with CO2 therapy, Forever Clear BBL, and chemical peels to target breakouts from multiple angles. For anti-aging, we use a mix of neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and DAXXIFY, dermal fillers for volume restoration, RF microneedling for collagen production, and laser treatments like MOXI and Forever Young BBL to address texture and tone. Every treatment plan is built around your specific skin and overseen by Dr. Brett Brechner, DO. Our team has extensive experience treating both conditions across a wide range of skin types and severities.

Our medical team regularly treats acne, acne scarring, melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, sun damage, enlarged pores, and loss of skin firmness. We also see patients dealing with dull or dehydrated skin, dark under-eye circles, and early signs of aging they want to get ahead of. Because we offer such a broad range of treatments, from gentle Korean facials to medical-grade lasers and injectables, we can match the right approach to your specific concern rather than trying to fit every patient into the same protocol.

We use the latest in medical aesthetic technology and techniques. For injectables, that includes neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and DAXXIFY, along with a full range of dermal fillers including RHA fillers and Sculptra for long-term collagen stimulation. Our laser platform includes Sciton's BBL for skin rejuvenation, acne, hair removal, and skin tightening, as well as MOXI for prejuvenation and HiFu for non-surgical lifting. We offer SkinPen and RF microneedling, PRP and PRF therapies, Vampire Facials, and Rejuran Healer with salmon DNA for advanced skin repair. On the wellness side, we provide peptide therapies like Sermorelin and Tesamorelin, hormone optimization, and NAD+ treatments. Our providers stay current on the latest advancements so we can offer what actually works, not just what's trending.

Better Med Spa is led by our medical director, Dr. Brett Brechner, DO, who oversees all treatment protocols and clinical standards at our practice. Our providers hold the professional licenses and certifications required to perform medical aesthetic treatments in the state of Illinois, including specialized training in injectable techniques, laser operation, peptide therapy, and hormone optimization. We invest in ongoing education and advanced training so our team stays at the forefront of aesthetic medicine. If you have questions about a specific provider's qualifications or training in a particular treatment area, we're happy to discuss that during your consultation.

Combining treatments allows us to address your skin concerns from multiple angles at once, which often produces faster and more dramatic results than any single treatment alone. For example, Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines while dermal fillers restore lost volume, and together they create a more complete rejuvenation than either treatment on its own. Pairing RF microneedling with a chemical peel targets both deep collagen remodeling and surface-level texture improvement. Our team designs combination protocols based on your skin's needs, spacing treatments appropriately so your skin can heal and respond optimally between sessions. It's a strategic approach, not a kitchen-sink approach.

Aesthetic medicine moves fast. New products, technologies, and techniques emerge regularly, and not all of them live up to the hype. That's why our team prioritizes continuing education and advanced training. Staying current means we can offer treatments that are backed by real clinical evidence, not just social media buzz. It also means we know when not to adopt a trend because the science isn't there yet. For our patients, this translates to safer treatments, better outcomes, and confidence that the recommendations you receive at Better Med Spa are grounded in actual expertise, not guesswork.

Reactive skincare means waiting until you see a problem and then trying to fix it. Proactive skincare means getting ahead of concerns before they become visible. The difference in results is significant. Treatments like Botox for prevention, regular facials for skin maintenance, and prejuvenation lasers like MOXI are all easier, less invasive, and more cost-effective when you start before the damage is done. Think of it like fitness. Staying in shape is a lot easier than getting back into shape after years off. A proactive treatment plan at Better Med Spa keeps your skin healthy, resilient, and looking its best over the long term rather than playing catch-up later.

Everything starts with your consultation. Our medical team evaluates your skin type, current concerns, lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals before recommending anything. From there, we build a treatment plan that makes sense for you specifically, not a generic protocol we use on everyone. As your skin responds and improves, we adjust the plan. Maybe we start with chemical peels and graduate to RF microneedling. Maybe your filler needs shift as collagen rebuilds. The point is that your plan evolves with you. We also consider what's realistic for your schedule and budget because the best treatment plan in the world doesn't work if you can't stick with it.
