How is BBL different from traditional laser therapy?

BBL uses BroadBand Light energy to accurately reach multiple layers of the skin. Unlike standard IPL devices, BBL includes an advanced cooling system and customizable wavelengths that enhance comfort and safety. These features help the device target hyperpigmentation, blood vessels, and redness with greater control. When you receive a BBL laser treatment in South Barrington, your provider can personalize each pass with unique settings. This helps improve skin tone without harming surrounding tissue or causing unnecessary inflammation.

Can BBL improve rosacea?

Absolutely. BBL light energy breaks down the vessels that cause redness and flushing. Many patients notice their skin appears calmer and more even in tone with improvement after each treatment in the series. When you come in for a BBL laser treatment in South Barrington at Renee Burke MD, your provider carefully adjusts the settings to more effectively reduce your redness. It’s our mission to keep your skin protected and supported throughout the entire process.

What should I avoid before and after my BBL treatment?

Avoid sun exposure, self-tanning products, and active ingredients, like retinol, for at least 1 week before your session. After treatment, avoid sun exposure and use a mineral-based sunscreen if you must go outside. Do not use steam, saunas, or hot tubs for several days. During your BBL laser treatment in South Barrington, you also receive custom post-care guidance from your provider. Following these steps helps protect your skin and enhances your results.

What other light treatments can I receive at Renee Burke MD?

In addition to our BBL device, we have other Sciton lasers, like HALO and MOXI , available depending on your skin needs. These treatments can penetrate beneath the surface, stimulating healing to achieve a youthful glow. For more severe concerns, like deep wrinkles, we recommend our deep resurfacing lasers . These devices reach deeper than any of our other devices, addressing more stubborn lines and collagen loss.

I have been seeing Tracy at Dr Renee Burke’s MedSpa for the past year and there is no one else I would rather trust with my skin/face! Tracy is so welcoming, making you feel comfortable and ease throughout the whole process. She listens and does not try and push products or services on you. I first saw Tracy for lip filler and botox. Tracy has fixed past work other MedSpas did and suggested new treatments that have since made me feel a lot more confident. Recently, Tracy suggest I try the Moxi Laser to help treat my sun damage. This was the best money I have ever spent & I can’t wait to come back and do it again! Whether you are looking for a good injector or esthetician for facials and lasers, Tracy is your girl!

All the staff is wonderful, and Tracy is amazing! I feel like every appointment with Tracy is exactly what I’m looking for. She has learned my needs as a continued patient, and is always looking for ways to address my concerns, I truly couldn’t be happier with the service. Years ago I left the care of a very large provider after having different nurses each time, and it was the best move for me. At Dr. Burke’s office, it is very reassuring to build great relationships with staff who you know will be there and care about you as an individual . 10/10!!
