Express Med Spa
Facial Spa

At Express Med Spa, facial treatments are guided by a nurse practitioner team and delivered in a calm, spa-like setting. From AquaFacials and medical-grade facials to peels and acne care, we focus on healthy-looking, confident skin, not quick trends.

Many of our clients come in with the same concerns: dullness, breakouts that keep coming back, early lines, or uneven tone that makeup no longer hides. Our aestheticians and APRNs work together to choose facial treatments that match your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals. Every visit is designed to be both relaxing and clinically thoughtful.

Facial Spa Services
at Our Clinics

Your provider will explain which facial or combination of services fits your skin type, downtime comfort, and budget. Common options include:

AquaFacials & Deep Hydration Facials

AquaFacials and hydrating facials are popular choices for clients who want that fresh, dewy look without irritation. These treatments cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse targeted serums to support smoother texture and a healthy-looking glow. Many Shorewood clients choose them before photos, vacations, or big events when they want their skin to look its best with or without makeup.

Clarifying & Acne-Focused Facials

If breakouts or clogged pores are your main concern, your aesthetician may recommend a clarifying facial. These visits focus on deep cleansing, gentle extractions when appropriate, and products that help support clearer-looking skin over time. Your provider can also review home care steps and discuss whether peels, microneedling, or medical treatments might be helpful down the road.

Anti-Aging & Brightening Facials

For early lines, uneven tone, or sun damage, we offer facials that feature exfoliating enzymes, brightening ingredients, and collagen-supporting serums. These treatments can be combined with other services such as microneedling or chemical peels in a long-term plan, always paced for your skin’s comfort level.

Facials for Sensitive or Redness-Prone Skin

Some clients avoid facials because past treatments left them red or irritated for days. At our Shorewood facial spa, we offer options with calming ingredients and gentle techniques designed for reactive skin. Your provider will ask about your history, products you use at home, and what has or has not worked before so we can move carefully.

Facial Add-On Boosters

Many facials can be enhanced with add-ons such as dermaplaning, targeted masks, neck and décolleté care, or customized home-care product recommendations. Your provider will explain which boosters are optional extras and which are needed to support your goals.

Express Med Spa is a nurse practitioner-led medical spa offering advanced skin care and facial spa services for clients for the Chicago-land communities. Our goal is simple: blend the comfort of a spa with the safety and science of medical aesthetics.

Every facial visit begins with a quick skin review. We look at texture, tone, breakouts, dryness, and sensitivity. Then we match you with treatments such as AquaFacials, enzyme or chemical peels, clarifying facials, or anti-aging protocols that make sense for your skin today, not just what happens to be on special.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning gently removes surface dead skin and peach fuzz with a sterile blade to reveal a smooth, even canvas. Makeup applies flawlessly; skincare penetrates better; tone looks brighter. It’s ideal for quick exfoliation without irritation and pairs beautifully with hydrating masks or LED light therapy. We use feather-light technique and fresh blades every time. If your goal is instant glow for an event, this is a reliable go-to. Clients often rotate dermaplaning with chemical peels or microdermabrasion for year-round maintenance.

Chemical Peels

Our medical-grade chemical peel options range from gentle brightening to deeper resurfacing for stubborn sun damage, rough texture, and acne marks. We select the correct acid family and strength for your skin type, then outline pre- and post-care so healing stays on track. Goals include exfoliation, brightening, smaller-looking pores, and softer fine lines. Popular choices include light peels for a quick glow and medium peels for visible improvement in pigment and tone. Peels can be scheduled as a series or combined with microneedling or LED for faster progress.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion polishes away buildup and rough patches to smooth texture and revive a tired complexion. Think of it as controlled buffing that helps fade dullness without significant downtime. It’s perfect for maintenance between peels, supporting exfoliation while protecting the skin barrier. We finish with moisture-replenishing serums to keep the glow and prevent dryness. Many clients combine microdermabrasion with extractions or an AquaFacial for pores that stay cleaner, longer.

PDO Threads
EUROTHREAD LIFT

Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Procedure

Book Your Consultation

Express Med Spa offers thread lifts, a minimally invasive facial spa treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. This non-surgical procedure uses dissolvable threads to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin. Thread lifts are ideal for addressing skin laxity in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck, providing a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime.

EuroThreads are resorbable surgical sutures composed of biodegradable polymers.

The treatment is minimally invasive and produces instant results.

Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures are used for biomedical applications, particularly in cardiothoracic surgery because it is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 4 to 6 months and doesn’t create any scar tissue.

The foreign body stimulates collagen synthesis, thereby preventing worsening of the cosmetic defect over time.

She made me feel so comfortable and the results are amazing. She talked me through the entire procedure and continued to check if I was comfortable. I couldn’t be happier.

Questions about Facial Spa
Skin Care and Rejuvenation

What types of facials do you offer?

At Express Med Spa, we offer a wide range of facial treatments tailored to your unique skin needs. Our menu includes Custom Medical Grade Facials, Aqua Facials, STEMfacials, Men's Facials, Acne VI Chemical Peels, and more. Whether you're looking for hydration, anti-aging, acne treatment, or overall skin rejuvenation, we have a facial that's perfect for you.

How should I prepare for my facial appointment?

To prepare for your facial, come with clean skin (no makeup). Avoid any harsh treatments or excessive sun exposure for a few days before your appointment. If you're using any prescription skincare products, let us know in advance. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before your treatment.

How often should I get a facial?

How often should I get a facial? For optimal results, we recommend getting a facial every 4-6 weeks. This allows enough time for your skin to complete its natural renewal cycle. However, the frequency can vary depending on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Our skilled estheticians can create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

What can I expect during a facial treatment?

During your facial treatment at Express Med Spa, you can expect a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We'll start with a thorough skin analysis, followed by cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions if needed. Depending on the facial type, we may incorporate specialized treatments like LED therapy, hydrojelly masks, or medical-grade products. Your facial will conclude with appropriate serums, moisturizer, and SPF.

Are facials safe for sensitive skin?

Absolutely! We understand that sensitive skin requires extra care. Our estheticians are trained to work with all skin types, including sensitive skin. We offer gentle options like our Express Sensitive Cleanser and can customize any facial to accommodate your skin's needs. Always inform your esthetician about your skin sensitivities before the treatment.

How long does a typical facial take?

The duration of our facials varies, but most treatments take between 30 to 60 minutes. Our Express Mini Facial is a quick 30-minute treatment, while more comprehensive options like our Custom Medical Grade Facial with Computerized Skin Care Analysis can take up to an hour.

Do you offer facials for acne-prone skin?

Yes, we specialize in facials for acne-prone skin. Our Acne VI Chemical Peel is specifically designed to combat active acne and reduce scarring. We also offer customized treatments using our Express Purifying Gel Cleanser and other acne-fighting products to help clear your skin and prevent future breakouts.

Can facials help with anti-aging?

Absolutely! Many of our facial treatments offer excellent anti-aging benefits. Our Express Retinol Anti Aging Cream and STEMfacial treatments are particularly effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture. Regular facials combined with our medical-grade skincare products can significantly improve signs of aging.

What is the difference between a basic facial and a medical-grade facial?

The main difference lies in the products and techniques used. A basic facial typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing with over-the-counter products. Our medical-grade facials use pharmaceutical-grade products with higher concentrations of active ingredients, and may incorporate advanced techniques like microdermabrasion or LED therapy for more dramatic results.

What is the post-facial care routine?

After your facial, it's important to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Avoid touching your face and stay out of direct sunlight for 24-48 hours. Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products and avoid exfoliation for a few days. We'll provide you with specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment and recommend Express Med Spa products to maintain your results at home.
