What Clients Say About Christy Blanco, RN

  • emma singla
    Nurse Kristina was amazing!!! I have done Botox before multiple times and she really made me feel comfortable and not the traditional "cold" feeling of a med spa. She also is NOT pushy and very honest about if you do not need anything. I appreciated her technique and kindness. I almost fainted and she was awesome about it.

    I had such a great experience at this med spa! It was my first time getting any cosmetic treatments done and I was honestly very nervous going in. I had forehead tox and jawline filler done. Kristinia made the entire experience so comfortable from start to finish. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions and made me feel completely at ease. I truly appreciated how knowledgeable and reassuring she was throughout the process. I’m so happy with my results and would definitely recommend coming here!

    Amazing Experience with Xeomin for TMJ at Shorewood Med Spa! If you are searching for the best med spa for TMJ neurotoxin treatments, don't sleep on this place! I had an amazing experience at the Shorewood location getting Xeomin injections for jaw tension. From the start, the service was seamless—check-in was a breeze and they were able to process my Flex Spending (FSA). Kristina was incredibly knowledgeable; she answered all my questions about how neurotoxins help TMJ and discussed future treatment options naturally without a heavy sales pitch. Even though it takes a few days to see the full results of the injections, the customer service alone has me feeling so confident. I'm excited for my two-week aftercare follow-up! Great pricing, great staff, and excellent care.

    I have been going to Kristina for Botox treatments several times now, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always makes me feel so comfortable. She is so easy to talk to, takes the time to answer every question, and explains everything thoroughly. I always leave feeling confident and so happy with my results. I also love the convenience of being able to book online and how easy it is to get in quickly with her. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, Kristina is the best!
