Christy Blanco, RN, brings over two decades of hospital-level clinical experience to aesthetic medicine at Express Med Spa’s Shorewood location. Her background spans pediatric intensive care, pediatric emergency care, and specialty float pool settings — environments that demand precision, calm under pressure, and unwavering attention to patient safety. Those same qualities define how she approaches every treatment she performs today.

Christy earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Dayton before completing her nursing degree at the University of Cincinnati. That clinical foundation elevates everything she does in the treatment room, from injectable planning to skin care protocols.

Her philosophy is straightforward: confidence should look like you. She approaches each consultation as a collaboration, taking time to understand what a patient wants to achieve, what outcomes are realistic, and how to build a long-term plan that reflects the patient’s natural features rather than overriding them. Patients who are new to injectables consistently describe her as calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring — someone who makes the process feel manageable rather than intimidating.

Christy specializes in neurotoxin wrinkle relaxers, lip and facial filler, PRP treatments, dermaplaning, chemical peels, AquaFacial, laser hair removal, and GLP-1 weight management programs. She serves patients in Shorewood, Joliet, Plainfield, Minooka, and surrounding Will County communities.

All injectable and clinical services at Express Med Spa Shorewood are performed under the medical supervision of founder Stefanie Drozd, MSN-APRN.
