How We Rank Illinois Med Spas

We rank Illinois med spas by Google rating, weighted by how many people left one.

A 5.0 from 1,400 reviews ranks above a 5.0 from 12, because each rating is blended toward a 4.6 baseline until it has about 25 reviews behind it.

The statewide list only includes spas with at least 20 Google reviews, which 1,038 of the 1,671 Illinois listings have.

No spa pays to be listed or to rank higher.

Med Spa Rules in Illinois

What Illinois law and its licensing boards say about who may do med spa treatments, each with its source. This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice.

  1. An Illinois rule treats cosmetic or skin procedures using Class 3b or 4 lasers, IPL, radiofrequency or medical microwave devices that disrupt the skin's surface as the practice of medicine, done only by a physician unless properly delegated. [1]
  2. Under Illinois's Medical Corporation Act, every officer, director and shareholder of a medical corporation must hold a medical license, and no unlicensed person may take any part in its ownership, management or control. [2]
  3. Illinois law lets a physician delegate patient care tasks to an LPN, RN or other licensed person working within the scope of their own license, but not tasks the law says a physician must perform. [3]
  4. A physician may delegate tasks to a trained unlicensed person only in an office or practice setting, within a physician-patient relationship, and only with a licensed health care professional on site to assist. [3]
  5. Delegated tasks must fall within the delegating physician's own scope, training or experience, and delegation may be given orally, in writing, electronically, or through standing orders or protocols. [3]
  6. Under Illinois's laser rule, a physician must examine you and set a course of treatment before any laser procedure, though a new exam is not needed before each session of an established course. [1]
  7. Illinois law says an on-site physician exam is not needed before a non-ablative laser procedure at a laser hair removal facility if the facility follows a physician delegation protocol, an APRN does the exam, a trained RN or LPN performs the procedure, and a physician is reachable by phone or electronically. [3]
  8. A physician may delegate ablative laser procedures to an LPN, RN or other person only while the physician is on site. [1]
  9. Non-ablative laser procedures may be delegated with the physician on site or reachable by phone or electronically, and the person doing them needs documented training on each device. [1]
  10. Laser procedures that could affect the eye may not be delegated by the physician. [1]
  11. Illinois's laser rule does not restrict licensed electrologists from performing electrology, which is hair removal with a solid probe electrode, not a laser. [1]
  12. Illinois law bars estheticians from using techniques, products or practices meant to affect the living layers of the skin, and from advising on medical treatment of skin disease. [4]
  13. Illinois defines an esthetician's work as superficial care of the face, neck, arms, hands or body, such as cleansing or exfoliating the outer skin layer, not treating medical disorders. [4]
  14. Illinois nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and clinical nurse specialists can practice without a collaborative agreement after at least 4,000 hours of clinical experience in collaboration with a physician and 250 hours of continuing education or training. [5]
  15. APRNs without full practice authority need a written collaborative agreement with a physician, but that physician does not have to be physically present where care is given. [6]
  16. You can check the license of an Illinois physician, nurse, APRN, PA or esthetician on IDFPR's online License Lookup. [7]
