Seriously… the best place on earth! Erica E and Erica L have transformed me from a tired, worn down, old lady to a confident mom who isn’t afraid of the mirror (or scale!) anymore! Every question, visit and service has been beyond exceptional! Super knowledgeable, kind and comforting! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else!

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!!!

Specialties

Treatments Performed by Erica

Aqua Facial
A medical-grade resurfacing treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in a single 45–60 minute session. No downtime. Visible results the same day.
Aqua Facial
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 Face
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.

B12 Injections
B12 injections boost energy and metabolism. Each B12 shot delivers a concentrated dose of vitamin B12 to help your body convert food into energy, support red blood cell production, and ease fatigue. At Express Med Spa, B12 injections are administered by licensed nurse practitioners across our Chicagoland locations in a quick, in-office visit. Here you will find how B12 shots work, what they cost, and where to book near you.

Face Laser Hair Removal
If you are tired of waxing, threading, or tweezing unwanted hair on your upper lip, chin, or cheeks, laser hair removal on the face offers a longer lasting option. At Express Med Spa, facial laser hair removal is performed by our nurse practitioners using medical-grade laser technology to gently reduce unwanted facial hair over a series of sessions. It is a safe, effective choice for many skin tones, and every plan begins with a consultation so we can match the treatment to your skin and hair.

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a medical-grade resurfacing treatment that lifts away dull, damaged surface skin to reveal a brighter, smoother, more even complexion underneath. At Express Med Spa, our nurse-administered VI Peel and Glow Peel treatments are tailored to your skin and your goals, whether that is fading sun and age spots, calming acne, softening fine lines, or simply restoring a healthy glow. Care is available at all four of our Chicagoland locations: La Grange, Frankfort, Shorewood, and Mount Greenwood.
Chemical Peel
Dermaplaning Facial in Chicagoland
A dermaplaning facial at Express Med Spa uses a sterile surgical blade to lift away dead surface skin and peach fuzz in a single visit, leaving skin instantly smoother and makeup sitting flatter. Our licensed esthetician performs every treatment at all four Chicagoland locations, with no required downtime.
