Where Clinical Skincare Meets Boutique Care
At River North Med Spa, facials aren't a spa indulgence, they're a clinical investment in your skin. Located in River North at 405 N Wabash Ave, we combine medical-grade skincare products with expert technique to deliver treatments that go far beyond what a traditional day spa can offer. Whether you're targeting fine lines, uneven tone, chronic breakouts, or simply want your healthiest skin yet, our facials in Chicago are tailored specifically to you.
Medical-Grade Facials Tailored to Your Skin
Not all facials are created equal. River North Med Spa uses SkinCeuticals®, a physician-grade skincare line backed by 20+ years of clinical research and exclusive to medical and aesthetic clinics. That means the products working on your skin during your treatment are the same ones dermatologists recommend, not the softened retail formulas you'll find elsewhere.
Every facial begins with a thorough skin assessment so your treatment addresses your actual concerns, not a generic protocol.

Why Choose a Med Spa Facial Over a Traditional Spa?
A standard day spa facial uses retail skincare products and focuses primarily on relaxation. A med spa facial, like those at River North Med Spa, uses clinical-grade formulations, advanced treatment technologies, and provider expertise trained in skin physiology. The results are deeper, longer-lasting, and measurable.
Our licensed aesthetician, Humera Khan, brings clinical precision and genuine care to every treatment. Each session is a consultation as much as it is a service; you'll leave with a clear understanding of your skin and a plan for improving it.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your facial begins with a brief skin consultation to assess your skin type, active concerns, and goals. From there, your treatment is customized in real time; product selections, treatment steps, and targeted areas are all adjusted based on what your skin needs that day. Sessions typically run 60–90 minutes and are performed in a calm, private treatment room at our River North location.
You can even pair your facial with one of our Injectables or IV therapy treatments for full-body hydration that enhances your skin results from the inside out.
Aesthetician
Medical estheticians play a crucial role in helping individuals achieve healthy, beautiful skin while adhering to safety guidelines and professional standards. The Esthetics discipline involves procedures aimed at promoting overall skin health, enhancing a patient’s appearance, and improving wellness. These treatments are typically less invasive than those performed at a plastic surgeon’s office. We work with patients who have various skin concerns, including scarring, pigment disorders, sun damage, acne, and wrinkles. Here are some examples of services: Facials, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Laser Treatments, Microneedling, LED Light Therapy.
If you’re looking for healthy, beautiful skin, medical esthetics can provide effective solutions.
