The IC feature continuously processes real-time spatial data and relates it to the handpiece’s position and movement. This provides key information to regulate the intensity and frequency of pulses used in this light therapy.

An Intelligent Evolution
Dundee Dermatology is excited to offer groundbreaking technology for many of your biggest skin concerns. In the latest version of the BBL laser skin rejuvenation device, the Intelligent Control (IC™) adds a “brain” to the BBL HEROic system. With advanced imaging and processing technology, this device provides the best results!
This feature uses the spatial data to maintain consistent and uniform energy delivery across the treatment area. It eliminates common issues seen with traditional IPL, such as uneven treatments, striping, gaps, or “pulse stacking” (where pulses overlap too much, leading to hot spots). This takes the guesswork out of dealing with natural blemishes throughout the treatment area!
One of our favorite parts about the IC is that it automatically adjusts to variations in handpiece movement, speed, rotation, and even the patient’s skin curvature, all without requiring manual adjustments from the provider. This allows for consistent, effective treatments regardless of the area being treated!
Our device is smart, but a brain is nothing without eyes to read and learn! In this device, Sciton also includes advanced motion-tracking sensors that work in conjunction with IC. This provides 2 key pieces of information for the IC to control the output of the device.
The SPS provides real-time, 3-dimensional data on the handpiece’s exact position and orientation. Our device then accounts for the proximity of the skin and adjusts the laser’s output to match the desired result. This is made possible by sensors tracking every movement.
The device automatically tracks the speed and orientation of our provider’s hand to ensure the most effective, accurate, and efficient treatment possible. All of these come together for a truly revolutionary option for laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin.
How It Works
The Treatment Process
Consultation
Before your BBL HEROic session in our Elgin office, we’ll sit down for a quick, confidential consultation. In this chat, we’ll discuss your current concerns, goals, and lifestyle. This not only helps our specialists get to know you, it’s also a perfect time to get comfortable with our practice! As we get to know each other, we can begin to curate recommendations from our vast array of treatments. For any concerns related to aging, pigmentation, and some lesions, BBL HEROic may be your best option!
Treatment
The treatment process is quick and simple. Our team will provide any pre- or post-care instructions to promote maximum results. We’ll start the treatment by prepping your skin, then applying a carbon-based product that will set for 15 minutes. We’ll then start using the BBL HEROic device in short, controlled passes throughout your pre-planned treatment areas. To conclude your laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin, we’ll seal in your results with protective skincare. In less than 30 minutes, you can get back on your feet and on with your day! But before you leave, we always recommend scheduling follow-up appointments to maintain your amazing results.
Meet Karen
I’ve been a proud member of the Dundee Dermatology family since 2021, and I currently serve patients as a Medical Esthetician. With over 20 years of experience both in medical spas and clinical environments, I’ve learned the value of clinical care with a personalized touch. My extensive background includes specialties in lasers such as laser hair removal, IPL, body contouring, skin resurfacing, and skin tightening. Working at Dundee Dermatology has also nurtured my fascination with the world of skincare to optimize everyday health!
When I’m not working as an esthetician at Dundee Dermatology, I enjoy spending time with my family and doing volunteer work. My primary goal is to help people feel and look their very best at any age and in everything they do.
I strongly believe in self-care, and though treatments in themselves help, loving yourself and your skin can truly go a long way for many, both mentally and emotionally. We have several ways to achieve your goals in a professional, caring environment. As a provider who cares for you as a person and a professional, I’m confident we can achieve your goals together, starting with a consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
We take several measures to help keep you comfortable throughout the process of your laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin at our office. You may feel warmth on your skin and hear snapping sounds throughout the process.
Your skin may immediately feel softer and smoother after the treatment, and your results will continue progressing with proper aftercare. We recommend completing your full treatment plan for the best results possible, usually totalling 3 to 5 sessions, but this varies from person to person.
The brains behind our advanced laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin put the ic in HEROic. With intensity control, every pulse of light reaches your skin evenly. By using the power of motion tracking and AI, controlled pulses capture every contour of your body in the best light possible. This eliminates any guesswork and ensures that every treatment is just as effective as it is efficient!
No! At Dundee Dermatology, we don’t believe patients should need to experience severe discomfort or pain to receive noticeable skin rejuvenation. Unlike some other cosmetic laser treatments, which work by stripping away layers of damaged skin, our preferred device for laser skin rejuvenation is the BBL HEROic. This device creates pulses of light to target and repair discoloration beneath the surface of the skin.
Our founder, Dr. Getz, compares this sensation to “a little team of elves massaging the skin.” This means that while the sensation of a BBL HEROic treatment may be noticeable, it shouldn’t cause any noticeable irritation. Our team members strive to offer treatments that are safe, effective, and comfortable. With BBL HEROic, you can experience results without the discomfort.
Following a laser skin rejuvenation treatment, you don’t need to spend weeks in bed, nursing your sensitive skin—quite the opposite, in fact. After BBL HEROic laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin, you can resume your daily routine as normal, with only a few minor adjustments. To maintain the ideal results, avoid spending time in direct sunlight.
If you do need to go out in the sun, be sure to apply a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF. We also recommend staying hydrated, as this can improve the texture of your skin, increasing elasticity and boosting texture. You can wear makeup after your laser skin rejuvenation treatment, though we recommend waiting at least 24 hours so as not to irritate the skin in the treatment area.
Before you come to Dundee Dermatology for BBL HEROic skin rejuvenation, we recommend cleaning the treatment area. You don’t want to exfoliate the skin or perform any treatments that may irritate it, but things like makeup, lotion, or sunscreen can impact your results.
In the days leading up to your laser rejuvenation treatment, drink lots of water. Hydration is always important, especially for fostering beautiful skin and your overall function.
Because alcoholic beverages can dehydrate you, avoid them before your treatment begins. Additionally, be sure to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds before your treatment. Healthy, uninflamed skin is the best canvas.
Yes! We want to make sure this is the ideal treatment for your needs, so before you receive laser skin rejuvenation in Elgin, our team needs to get to know you on a deeper level. During your in-person consultation, our team examines your skin concerns and asks you questions about your treatment expectations and what kind of results you’re looking for.
We also ask you about your medical history, as well as any medications you may be taking. Some medications can interfere with the treatment and healing process, so be honest with your providers. Once we have a more complete understanding of your needs and concerns, we determine if BBL HEROic is the right treatment for you.
