BBL® HERO® + MOXI® in Chicago: The Power Duo for Radiant, Camera-Ready Skin

If you’ve been seeing “BBL HERO” and “MOXI” all over your feed lately, there’s a reason—together, they’re the go-to duo for brighter, clearer, smoother skin with little to no downtime. At AMC Laser Lounge in Rolling Meadows (serving the greater Chicago area), we’ve built an experience around these treatments that’s equal parts advanced and personal. Our philosophy is simple: pair world-class technology with careful, honest care—and deliver results you can see and feel.

Why These Two Treatments Are Blowing Up Right Now

They solve real-life skin concerns fast. 

BroadBand Light (BBL®) is renowned for tackling brown spots, diffuse redness, small vessels, and sun damage; Sciton’s BBL® HERO® platform does it faster and more comfortably than earlier IPL tech, with enhanced cooling and high-energy output for efficient sessions and minimal downtime.

MOXI® is “prejuvenation” made practical. 

MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser that refreshes tone and texture, supports collagen, and fits into busy schedules thanks to quick treatments and little-to-no downtime—ideal for both first-timers and maintenance between bigger resurfacing procedures.

The combo is greater than the sum of its parts. 

BBL targets pigment and redness; MOXI smooths texture and boosts overall glow. Used together (often on the same day), they address multiple layers of skin quality for a noticeable “fresh face” effect. Many Chicago providers—including us—follow a sequence of BBL first, then MOXI.

Why AMC Laser Lounge Is the Best Place in

Chicagoland for BBL HERO + MOXI

1) Proven Technology, Used the Right Way

We exclusively invest in devices with real clinical pedigree. Sciton’s BBL® HERO® and MOXI® platforms are trusted worldwide for speed, comfort, and results; BBL HERO’s intelligent control and advanced cooling help deliver uniform energy safely and efficiently, while MOXI’s fractionated energy supports consistent outcomes with minimal social downtime. We match settings to your skin type and goals—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

2) A Thoughtful, Skin-First Consultation

There’s no upsell here. We evaluate your skin, lifestyle, and timeline, then map a plan that makes sense—whether that’s a single BBL, a MOXI-only refresh, or a curated series that blends both. Not everyone needs the most intensive option. Our priority is safe progress and natural-looking improvement.

3) Chicago Convenience, Boutique Attention

We’re open Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM—so treatments fit real life. Our Rolling Meadows location makes it easy for clients from Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, and the North/Northwest suburbs to pop in after work, before a trip, or ahead of a big event.

4) Trust You Can Feel (and See)

Read through our client experiences and you’ll notice a theme: professional, friendly, results-driven care. We explain every step, check in closely after treatment, and celebrate your wins with you. The goal isn’t just great skin—it’s a great experience.

BBL HERO + MOXI: What They Treat (in Plain English)

• Brown spots & sun damage: BBL HERO breaks up excess pigmentation and photoaging so skin looks clearer and more even.

• Redness & tiny vessels: BBL can diffuse facial redness and calm small vascular lesions, improving overall tone.

• Uneven texture & “dullness”: MOXI smooths the surface so makeup sits better and skin catches the light naturally.

• Pores & early fine lines: MOXI’s gentle micro-injury supports collagen renewal over time.

• Face + body: BBL HERO covers large areas quickly (think face, neck, chest, arms, hands).

Why combine them? BBL treats color (reds/browns); MOXI refines texture—so together you get clearer and smoother skin in the same overall plan.

What to Expect at AMC (Step-by-Step)

1. Consultation & Skin Typing

   We review your history, current skincare, Fitzpatrick type, and event timelines. We’ll flag anything that requires caution (e.g., very recent sun exposure, certain topicals).

2. Your Treatment Plan

   If you’re a good candidate for both, we often do BBL first, then MOXI in the same visit or staggered—depending on your sensitivity, goals, and schedule.

3. During Treatment

   BBL feels like quick, warm snaps with advanced cooling; MOXI feels like a rolling warmth/tingle. Sessions are typically brief—great for lunch breaks or after-work appointments.

4. Right After

   Expect mild pinkness and warmth that settles quickly. With MOXI, you may feel a sandy texture for a few days as micro-zones heal—makeup usually resumes within 24 hours (as directed).

5. Results Timeline

   Many clients notice a brighter, clearer look within days, with progressive gains across a short series (often 3–4 visits for BBL; MOXI varies by goal). Maintenance keeps results on track through Chicago’s sunny summers and dry winters.

   
   

Safety Notes We Stand By

• Skin types: In general, BBL is best suited to Fitzpatrick I–IV, with cautious selection and settings for deeper tones. MOXI is considered safe for all skin types and is often preferred for darker complexions. We’ll personalize the approach for you.

• Hydration helps: Because MOXI targets water in tissue, being well-hydrated supports comfort and outcomes.

• Smart patient selection: Combination plans are tailored to specific pigment and texture concerns to maximize gains and minimize risk.

Who’s a Great Candidate?

• You see brown spots, redness, or uneven tone (BBL HERO shines here).

• You want refined texture and glow with little downtime (MOXI excels).

• You want a fast bump before events or to maintain results from peels/resurfacing.

• You’re ready for a smart, staged plan—not a one-off gamble.

Real-World Use Cases We See All the Time

• Post-summer clean-up: Clear the sun souvenirs on face, chest, and hands (BBL), then smooth it all out (MOXI).

• Wedding-season glow: Stagger a small series ahead of photos so skin looks bright and even without heavy makeup.

• Maintenance between bigger treatments: MOXI refreshes texture while BBL keeps pigment under control.

Your Next Step (and What It Costs)

We customize every plan—so pricing depends on areas treated and whether we bundle sessions. During your consultation, we’ll map out clear options (single sessions, series, face + body packages) and suggest what will deliver the best value for your goals.

FAQs

Can I do BBL and MOXI on the same day?

Yes, many clients safely combine them in one visit (often BBL first, then MOXI) to address tone and texture together. We’ll confirm candidacy during your consult.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals. BBL HERO is frequently done in a short series (commonly 3–4) for best clearing; MOXI plans vary based on texture and glow goals. We’ll tailor it.

Is there downtime?

Most people resume normal activities right away. You may be pink for a bit; MOXI can create a soft, sand-like feel for a few days—easy to camouflage after 24 hours when allowed.

Is this safe for my skin tone?

We treat all skin types but choose modalities carefully. BBL is typically safest for Fitz I–IV, while MOXI can be used on all skin types; deeper tones often benefit from a MOXI-first strategy.

Face only, or body too?

Both. BBL HERO’s speed makes it great for chest, arms, back of hands—and more.
