HER APPROACH TO AESTHETIC CARE

Every face is unique. That’s how we treat it.

Stefanie founded Express Med Spa with a clear mission: to put patients—not procedures—at the center of the aesthetic experience. Her background as a nurse injector shaped the way the clinic delivers care. Each treatment is based on a clinical standard, not a sales goal.

Clients receive unhurried consultations, personalized plans, and clear explanations. From subtle Botox touch-ups to advanced PDO Thread Lifts, Stefanie's team is trained to put safety and ethics first.

“II have gotten Botox twice before at a different salon. I was never fully satisfied with it and figured that it just wasn’t for me. I decided to give it another try at Express Med Spa and Stefanie nailed exactly what I wanted! I’m so glad this Med Spa opened up in Shorewood. You won’t be disappointed!”

“I absolutely love this med spa. Stefanie is amazing. Definitely knows what she's doing. She does not over-sell products you don't need. She has definitely helped me boost my self-esteem and confidence after a huge weightloss. She has helped me and many others feel better about ourselves. Not only does she help me look amazing but she helps me feel amazing. Very trustworthy, professional and just a bad @ss!”

“First Visit and It Won’t Be the Last!”

“Today was my first time visiting Express Med Spa & I was not disappointed! First off the place is very clean and downright cute and cozy. Everyone is nice and welcoming. Stefanie, the owner, was very informative and made me feel comfortable. I went in for a consultation uncertain of what I wanted and she steered me in the right direction with her expertise. Any questions or concerns she was there to answer and help ease my anxiety and could not have been more professional. If you’re looking to get any cosmetic procedures done and are nervous or unsure, Stefanie is the perfect person to see! She know’s what she’s doing! I can’t wait for my next visit!”

“My Skin Is Smoother, Tighter, and Glowing”

“I came in for Microneedling 5 days ago, Stefanie the owner did my session for me.. I cannot express enough how amazing my results are. I asked Stefanie what my options were for my areas that bothered me and she advised to try Microneedling.. well it’s 5 days after and I am stunned at my results and it’s still going to get better as the days progress. My face is smoother, tighter and has a glow and even helped with my dark circles. I would recommend this to anyone. It’s an awesome service by highly professional, caring and amazing staff. Minimal downtime and amazing results. Thankyou so so much.”

“We Always Feel at Ease at Express Med Spa”

“I see Stefanie for Botox for myself and facials for my daughter. She makes us both feel so at ease and comfortable when we’re there! I was nervous when I started Botox for myself, and Stef knew the right amount to give me to achieve the look I wanted. I love her and love how convenient scheduling an appointment is and that the location is only 15-20 minutes away from home. Highly recommend them!”
