Oak Dermatology Reviews
I have been a patient of Oak Dermatology for years . I just had a recent surgery and once again the team was outstanding .The care is exceptional and the treatment by staff is admirable. You are treated with respect and appreciation. I would not consider going anywhere else .
The staff at Oak Dermatology were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, putting me at ease throughout my entire experience, from discussing my concerns with an eczema specialist to receiving personalized treatment options. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and dedicated to addressing my specific skin care needs.
Wonderful, kind, and sweet Dr.
It terrified me to get a skin cancer diagnosis on my toe! My Podiatrist referred me to Surgeon Dr. Ashish Bhatia. From the time I first walked into the exam room I was treated with empathy and respect. Being prepped by PA Megan a 16 year associate of Dr. Bhatia was wonderful. Dr. Bhatia was amazing. He was kind and explained every step of the way what procedure they were going to do. He talked to me throughout the entire process to keep my nerves at bay. I was bandaged and sent to the waiting room for over 2 hours while the first layer was examined. Then it was back for round two. This time NA Faith was assisting. She was great and gentle reassuring me the whole time. Another layer and again I was bandaged and back to the waiting room for more tissue to be diagnosed this time about 1 1/4 hours. Back to the exam room with NA Faith where I was pronounced cancer free!! Now more fun by younger Dr. Bhatia no relation who is interning who applied several layers of skin graft. Might as well double it up since he said it was very expensive. It was a precision job to do it but it's in place. Then the final bandaging by NA Faith with an appointment back to my Podiatrist for possible plastic surgery. They advise you that you will be spending the day there. 7 hours later they were correct. I left the office with love and respect for everyone that was part of my team. I more than ever agree that 5 stars aren't enough for the wonderful care I received. I would recommend Oak Dermatology for everyone that needs their service. Thank you Staff you are the greatest.
Oak dermatology is an amazing practice. Dr. Bhatia has done two skin cancer removals for me and the results are incredible. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, patient and caring. His expertise is shown during the procedure as I experienced no discomfort with the numbing. The end result of both excisions are amazing! I would highly recommend Dr. Bhatia and I am so fortunate to have him as part of my healthcare team!

What is the difference between BBL and Dye-VL?
BroadBand Light (BBL) uses multiple light wavelengths to target a larger area of the skin, whereas Dye-VL (Dye-Variable Light) uses a single, focused beam of light to treat a very target area.
- Treatment Application
- BBL is used to treat damage below the skin's surface, such as pigmentation, sun damage, and rosacea
- Dye-VL is used to treat damage on the skin’s surface, specifically age spots, dilated blood vessels, sunspots, and unwanted hair
Call our office today to schedule a consultation to discuss with an esthetician if a Dye-VL or BBL is best suited for your skin type and skin goals.

About UsDye-VL (Dye-Variable Light) FAQs
How quick are the results from Dye-VL?
Visible skin improvements can be noticed after each Harmony XL PRO Dye-VL session, but the best results are apparent about one month after your last treatment. It's normal for patients to see different responses following every treatment session. You will likely have an incremental improvement in redness, blotchiness, age spots, and sun spots over time.
What are the possible side effects of Dye-VL?
Mild, temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, blisters, or crusting are common after BBL treatment and typically resolve within 2 – 3 days. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, and excessive UV exposure could affect your results. To protect your skin and maintain your outcomes, always apply sunscreen when outdoors to minimize the risk of sunspots, redness, and other skin issues.
Do I need to prep for Dye-VL?
Patients in Naperville, IL preparing for a Dye-VL treatment are typically advised to avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products for at least 2–4 weeks before the procedure. Certain medications may need to be paused a few days prior, and it's often recommended to stop using aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners a week before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Between sessions, it's essential to protect the treated areas with sunscreen to maintain your results and support the healing process.
