Hayley Stafen is a Registered Nurse and aesthetic injector at Express Med Spa's Chicago Mount Greenwood location. She specializes in neurotoxin treatments and dermal filler injections, helping patients on Chicago's South Side and surrounding neighborhoods achieve natural, confident results.
Hayley Stafen, RN, brings a skilled and attentive approach to aesthetic injectable treatments at Express Med Spa’s Chicago Mount Greenwood location. As an Aesthetic Injector, she focuses on neurotoxin treatments and dermal filler services for patients looking to address fine lines, facial volume loss, and other common aesthetic concerns.
Hayley’s nursing foundation shapes how she approaches every patient interaction — with clinical care, honest communication, and attention to detail. She understands that many patients arrive with questions, uncertainty, or past experiences that didn’t meet their expectations, and she works to create an environment where patients feel informed and comfortable before any treatment begins.
Her location at the Mount Greenwood Chicago clinic makes high-quality injectable care accessible to patients throughout Chicago’s South Side and nearby suburbs, including Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Beverly, and Morgan Park — without requiring a trip to the city’s more expensive downtown corridors.
All injectable services at Express Med Spa Chicago Mount Greenwood are performed under the medical supervision of founder Stefanie Drozd, MSN-APRN.
Specialties
Treatments Performed
Lip Filler Augmentation
Fuller, more defined lips are one of the most requested treatments we do, and for good reason. A well-placed lip filler can add volume, restore the definition that fades with age, improve symmetry, and give the lips a shape that photographs naturally and looks proportional to your face. At Express Med Spa, we use Revanesse Lips+, a hyaluronic acid filler specifically designed for lip augmentation. Every appointment is performed by a licensed nurse practitioner or registered nurse injector, and every result is planned around your specific lip anatomy and what you actually want, not a generic look. Whether you are completely new to lip filler or you have had it before and want a provider who takes it seriously, we want your result to look like a better version of your lips, not someone else's.

Revanesse Dermal Filler
Revanesse is the hyaluronic acid filler line used across all four Express Med Spa locations for facial volume restoration, wrinkle correction, and lip augmentation. It is one of the fastest-growing dermal filler brands in the United States, with over 8.2 million syringes used in more than 80 countries worldwide. The line includes two products: Revanesse Versa+, used for facial lines, folds, and volume, and Revanesse Lips+, used specifically for lip augmentation. Both are hyaluronic acid injectables, both contain a built-in anesthetic for patient comfort, and both are reversible. At Express Med Spa, all Revanesse treatments are administered by licensed nurse practitioners and registered nurse injectors under the medical supervision of our founder, Stefanie Drozd, MSN-APRN. If you are trying to understand which Revanesse treatment is right for you, this page is the place to start.

Mini Lip Filler
Not everyone wants a dramatic change. Some patients want their lips to look a little fuller, a little more defined, or simply more like they used to before volume quietly faded with age. A mini lip filler appointment uses half a syringe of hyaluronic acid lip filler to add soft, natural-looking volume without the more noticeable result a full syringe can produce. It is the right starting point for first-time patients who want to try lip filler without committing to a bigger change, for patients who have naturally fuller lips and want only the subtlest refinement, and for maintenance patients who are topping up between full syringe appointments. At Express Med Spa, every lip filler appointment, mini or full, is performed by a licensed nurse practitioner or registered nurse injector and tailored to your specific lip shape and goals.

Acne Scar Treatment
If past breakouts have left scars, professional treatment can make a real, lasting difference in how your skin looks and feels. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners treat acne scars with microneedling, sublative radiofrequency microneedling, and chemical peels, matched to your scar type. We will be honest with you about results: the right plan can significantly improve acne scars over a series of treatments, but no treatment erases them completely, and some deep scars are better served by a dermatologist. Every plan begins with a free consultation with Stefanie Drozd, MSN, APRN.

Acne Treatment
If acne is not responding to drugstore products, professional in-office treatment can help. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners treat acne with a combination of medical-grade chemical peels, professional extractions, cortisone injections for painful cysts, and customized acne facials, matched to your skin and the type of acne you have. Every plan starts with a free consultation, and for moderate, severe, or cystic acne we will be honest with you about when a dermatologist should be part of your care. Treatment is led by Stefanie Drozd, MSN, APRN.

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.

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.

Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic is the most requested injectable service at Express Med Spa. Our licensed nurse practitioners smooth forehead lines, crow's feet, and glabellar creases with a 15-minute appointment and no required downtime.

Cheek Filler and Midface Volumizing
The cheeks and midface are the structural center of the face. When volume in this area decreases with age, the effects show up everywhere: flatter cheeks, deeper nasolabial folds, a heavier appearance along the jawline, and a face that looks more drawn and tired than it once did. Restoring that volume with a precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler can lift and re-balance the face in a way that looks completely natural. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners approach cheek and midface filler with an emphasis on proportion and subtlety. The goal is not to change your face but to give it back the structure it has gradually lost.

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.

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.

GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss Program
Losing weight is not just about willpower. Hormonal changes, metabolism shifts, and years of dieting can make traditional methods feel impossible. Our GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss Program is a nurse practitioner-led, medically supervised program that works with your body's own hunger and satiety signals to help you lose weight in a way that is safe, structured, and sustainable. Every patient starts with a health assessment and lab work, and you will have ongoing clinical support throughout your journey.

Lip Flip
A small neurotoxin treatment that gently rolls your upper lip outward, creating a fuller-looking pout without adding any filler. It takes about 10–15 minutes, there's no downtime, and the results are natural - not overdone. If you've ever wanted a little more lip without going the filler route, this may be exactly what you're looking for.

Lipotropic Injections
Lipotropic injections accelerate fat metabolism. Each skinny shot combines fat-metabolizing amino acids, methionine, inositol, and choline, with B vitamins to help your body break down fat, support liver function, and sustain energy during weight loss. At Express Med Spa, lipotropic injections are administered by licensed nurse practitioners across our Chicagoland locations, often alongside a medical weight-loss plan. Here you will find how the skinny shot works, what it costs, and where to book near you.

Marionette Line Filler
Marionette lines are the creases that form at the corners of the mouth and run downward toward the chin. They tend to make the face look sad or stern even when you are relaxed, which is one of the more frustrating things about them. Volume loss in the lower face deepens these lines over time, and no amount of skincare will fill them back in. A well-placed hyaluronic acid filler can soften the shadow they create and lift the corners of the mouth for a more rested, neutral expression. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners use Revanesse Versa+ to treat this area with precision, keeping your results natural and proportional to the rest of your face.
Learn More
Masseter Botox
Masseter Botox is one treatment with two very different payoffs. By relaxing the masseter, the large muscle at the angle of your jaw, a few precise injections can soften a wide, square jawline into a smoother contour, and they can ease the tension, soreness, and teeth grinding that come with an overworked jaw. At Express Med Spa we treat the masseter with Botox or Xeomin, matched to your goals, and we will be honest about what to expect: results are temporary, the slimming effect builds over a few weeks, and dosing is individualized. Every plan starts with a free consultation with Stefanie Drozd, MSN, APRN.

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.

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.

NAD+ Injections
NAD+ injections replenish cellular energy. Each shot delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) directly into the body to support mental clarity, metabolism, and healthy aging at the cellular level. At Express Med Spa, NAD+ injections are administered by licensed nurse practitioners across our Chicagoland locations as a quick, in-office alternative to a longer NAD+ IV drip. Here you will find how NAD+ injections work, what they cost, and where to book near you.

Nasolabial Fold Filler
Those lines that run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth are called nasolabial folds, or smile lines. They deepen over time as the face loses volume and the skin loses collagen. If yours are making you look more tired or older than you feel, a hyaluronic acid filler can soften them noticeably in a single visit. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners use a precision-placed filler to restore volume where it has been lost, leaving you with a smoother, more rested result that still looks and moves like you.
Learn More
Perioral Line Filler
Perioral lines are the small vertical lines that form above and below the lips, and the creases that develop at the corners of the mouth. They are sometimes called smoker's lines or lipstick lines, though you do not have to smoke to develop them. They form as the skin around the mouth loses collagen and the underlying support structure thins with age, and they tend to make lipstick feather and the mouth area look older than the rest of the face. A small amount of precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler can smooth these lines and restore definition to the lip border without overfilling or distorting the natural shape of the mouth. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners treat this area with a conservative, detail-oriented approach because the zone around the lips has very little margin for error and a lot of impact on the overall result.
Learn More
Pre-Jowl and Chin Filler
The lower face and jawline are often where aging becomes most visible and least expected. The pre-jowl sulcus is the hollow that forms just in front of the jowl area, creating a notch along the jawline that interrupts what used to be a smooth, continuous line from chin to ear. The mental crease is the horizontal line or dimpling that forms between the lower lip and the chin as the chin loses volume and the overlying muscle becomes more prominent. Both concerns develop gradually, and both can be meaningfully improved with a small amount of precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners treat the lower face as a connected zone, assessing the pre-jowl area, the chin, and the jawline together to achieve a result that looks balanced and natural from every angle.

PRP Hair Restoration
If your hair is thinning and over-the-counter products are not helping, PRP may be worth a closer look. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners offer PRP and PRF hair restoration - in-office injections that use your own blood platelets to stimulate thinning hair - for both men and women. PRP works best for early-to-moderate pattern hair loss while the follicles are still active, and we will be honest with you: it is not a hair transplant, it is not a permanent cure, and results build gradually over a series of sessions. Every plan starts with a free consultation, led by Stefanie Drozd, MSN, APRN.
