BBL photofacials. MOXI resurfacing. SkinTyte tightening. Forever Bare hair removal. One platform, one clinic, real results.
You have been noticing things. Maybe sun spots that were not there a few years ago. Skin that looks a little duller than it used to. Redness that does not seem to fade. Hair you are tired of shaving every few days. Or a jawline that is starting to lose its definition.
These are the exact concerns that laser and light treatments are built to solve. And at Better Med Spa & Wellness in Lincoln Park, Chicago, we use the Sciton platform to deliver five targeted treatments: BBL (BroadBand Light) photofacials, MOXI laser resurfacing, BBL + MOXI combination sessions, SkinTyte skin tightening, and Forever Bare laser hair removal.

Better Technology. Better Results.
Better Med Spa blends modern technology and provider artistry to provide the skincare you deserve.
MOXI Laser Resurfacing:
MOXI is popular because it delivers real resurfacing results with much less downtime than traditional ablative lasers. Most patients experience mild redness and a gritty, sandpaper-like texture for 2 to 4 days. By day 5, the treated skin has peeled and you are left with a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion. Many people schedule MOXI on a Thursday or Friday and look great by Monday.
Forever Bare: Laser Hair Removal
Compared to shaving, waxing, or older laser systems, Forever Bare delivers smoother, longer-lasting results with less discomfort per session. Most Lincoln Park patients tell us they wish they had started sooner.
BBL (BroadBand Light) Photofacial:
BBL is ideal for patients who have accumulated sun damage over years, deal with persistent redness or rosacea, or simply want a brighter, more even complexion. It works well on the face, neck, chest, and hands. If your primary concern is skin color and clarity rather than texture or fine lines, BBL on its own may be all you need. If texture is also a concern, the BBL + MOXI combination covers both.
SkinTyte:
SkinTyte uses infrared light energy delivered in rapid, sequential pulses to deeply heat collagen in the skin. That heat triggers your body's natural healing response, which contracts existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new ones over time. The result is firmer, tighter skin without surgery, needles, or downtime.

What laser treatments does Better Med Spa offer?
We offer five core laser and light treatments on the Sciton platform: BBL (BroadBand Light) photofacial for sun damage and pigmentation, MOXI laser resurfacing for tone and texture, BBL + MOXI combination sessions, SkinTyte infrared skin tightening, and Forever Bare laser hair removal. All treatments are performed at our Lincoln Park, Chicago clinic under the supervision of Dr. Brett Brechner.
How many sessions do I need for laser hair removal?
Most patients need 6 to 8 Forever Bare sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. Multiple sessions ensure you catch follicles in each phase for maximum, long-lasting reduction. Some patients return once a year for a maintenance session.
How does SkinTyte compare to other skin tightening treatments?
SkinTyte uses infrared light energy delivered in rapid pulses to heat collagen deep in the skin. It is completely non-invasive with zero downtime, which sets it apart from RF-based devices or surgical options. Results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months. A series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced about a month apart typically delivers the best tightening. Patients from Lincoln Park and the greater Chicago North Shore area choose SkinTyte for its comfort and convenience.
Can laser and light treatments be combined with facials or injectables?
Yes, Laser & Light treatments often complement Korean facials, peels, and injectables by improving tone and texture so results appear smoother and more uniform. Your provider will recommend optimal sequencing, such as spacing photofacials around filler or neuromodulator appointments, to support safe healing and enhance overall outcomes.
Can I get BBL and MOXI in the same session?
Yes. BBL + MOXI is one of the most popular treatments at our clinic. Your provider performs BBL first to address pigmentation and redness, then follows with MOXI to resurface and stimulate collagen. The session takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Downtime is similar to MOXI alone.

Why Lincoln Park Clients Choose Better Med Spa for Laser Treatments
There are many clinics in Chicago offering laser services. Here is what makes Better Med Spa different.
The Sciton platform. All of our laser and light treatments run on Sciton technology, one of the most respected and versatile device platforms in aesthetic medicine. BBL, MOXI, SkinTyte, and Forever Bare are all part of the same system, which means your provider can combine treatments in a single session and fine-tune every setting to your skin.
Provider expertise with clinical oversight. Every laser treatment is performed by a trained, certified provider and supervised by our Medical Director, Dr. Brett Brechner, DO. With over 10,000 patients treated across more than 100 treatment types, our team has the experience to handle everything from a first-time photofacial to a multi-session resurfacing plan.
Customized settings, not one-size-fits-all. Lasers are only as good as the person operating them. Our providers adjust wavelength, energy, and pulse duration for every patient based on skin type, concern, and treatment history. That attention to detail is what separates a great result from a mediocre one.
Results you can verify. We have a 4.8-star rating across 128+ reviews from real Chicago patients. Browse our before-and-after gallery to see what our laser treatments look like in practice.
What to Expect During Your Laser Treatment
Step 1: Consultation. Your provider examines your skin, asks about your goals, reviews your medical history, and recommends which treatment (or combination) will give you the best result. If laser is not the right fit for your concern, they will tell you. There is no obligation to proceed.
Step 2: Preparation. Depending on the treatment, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream or a cooling gel. For BBL and SkinTyte, you will wear protective eyewear. Your skin is cleansed and prepped for the device.
Step 3: Treatment (15-60 minutes). Treatment time varies. A BBL photofacial on the full face takes about 20 minutes. MOXI takes about 20 to 30 minutes. BBL + MOXI together runs 45 to 60 minutes. Forever Bare depends on the area being treated. Your provider will give you a time estimate before starting.
Step 4: Aftercare. Post-treatment instructions are straightforward. For BBL and MOXI, you will need to wear mineral sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure while the skin heals. For Forever Bare, you will avoid sun and heat on the treated area for a couple of days. Your provider will give you detailed instructions specific to your treatment.
Step 5: Results timeline. BBL results are visible within 1 to 2 weeks as pigmented spots darken and flake off. MOXI results develop over 2 to 4 weeks as the skin renews. SkinTyte tightening builds gradually over 2 to 3 months. Forever Bare shows progressive reduction with each session over the full treatment series.
Our clinic is located at 2117 N Halsted St in Lincoln Park, steps from the Armitage Brown Line stop. Most laser sessions fit into a lunch break, and you can return to normal activities the same day.
Combining Laser Treatments with Other Services
Laser and light treatments address tone, texture, tightening, and hair removal. But they work even better when layered with complementary services. Here are the combinations our Lakeview and Lincoln Park patients request most often.
BBL + MOXI + Botox or Dysport. Laser improves skin quality from the surface and the inside. Neurotoxins smooth movement-based wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Together, they give you better skin and fewer lines. Many patients schedule both on the same visit.
MOXI + dermal fillers. MOXI rebuilds skin texture and stimulates collagen. Fillers restore volume in the cheeks, jawline, or lips. This pairing addresses both surface quality and structural aging for a more complete rejuvenation.
SkinTyte + neurotoxins to the masseter. SkinTyte tightens the skin along the jawline. Masseter Botox slims the lower face by relaxing the jaw muscle. Together, they create a more defined, contoured jawline without surgery.
BBL + medical-grade skincare. BBL clears pigmentation and redness. A targeted skincare routine with retinoids, vitamin C, and SPF helps maintain those results between sessions. Your provider can recommend products that complement your laser treatments.
Laser treatments + Korean-inspired facials. Our signature facials focus on deep hydration, gentle exfoliation, and barrier repair. Scheduling a facial between laser sessions helps the skin recover faster and stay healthy throughout a treatment series. Many Wicker Park and Lincoln Park patients alternate between laser appointments and facial sessions as part of their ongoing skincare routine.
Not every patient needs a combination plan. Your provider will recommend the simplest effective approach based on your goals. There is no pressure to do everything at once.
