Erica Lagunas, CMA, is a certified medical assistant at the Express Med Spa clinic in Mount Greenwood, on the South Side of Chicago. She has worked in aesthetics since 2014 and cares for clients in both English and Spanish.

Before joining Express Med Spa, Erica gained hands-on experience in plastic surgery and dermatology settings. She earned an associate degree from Robert Morris University in 2009 and completed laser training at Express Med Spa in 2020.

Microneedling is the treatment she enjoys most. In her words, the results are amazing, and she loves showing clients their before and after photos. She also helps clients with laser hair removal, AquaFacials, chemical peels, dermaplaning facials, Emsella sessions and B12 injections at the Mount Greenwood clinic.

Her approach starts with a conversation. She recommends a free consultation so she can sit down with each client, hear what brought them in, and plan treatments around their goals. Erica works alongside the Express Med Spa nursing team, helping turn each treatment plan into results.

  • Brianna McDonald
    Erica is absolutely amazing! I came in for my first laser appt and I was really nervous. She explained everything so clearly, set very clear expectations, and was so considerate of my needs and comfort level. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but for me, it wasn’t bad at all. I will absolutely be a regular customer.

  • Definitely worth over 1/2 hr drive to visit Erica for my facials. Super attentive and takes her time with you. I've had a couple of facials done by her and each one makes my skin feel so much better! I'm planning on VI peel this fall and can't wait! Will keep you posted on results once done. Definitely recommend this Spa location!!!

      Microneedling Face

      Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments we offer for improving skin texture, reducing acne scars, and rebuilding collagen in the face. Using a medical-grade device, our nurse practitioners create controlled micro-channels in the skin that trigger your body's natural healing response. The result over time is smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin. No lasers. No chemicals. Just your own skin doing what it does best, with a little encouragement.

      Microneedling

      Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting your body to rebuild collagen and elastin. It is one of the most versatile ways to soften acne scars, smooth uneven texture, refine enlarged pores, and ease fine lines and wrinkles for natural-looking skin rejuvenation. At Express Med Spa, microneedling is performed by licensed medical providers across our Chicagoland locations using the professional CytoPen® device, with options to match your goals: standard microneedling for the face, neck, and body, Sublative radiofrequency microneedling for deeper remodeling and skin tightening, and enhancement add-ons like PRP and stem cell growth factor. Below you will find how each option works, what it treats, what it costs, and where to book microneedling near you.
