From your first consultation through every session that follows, you work with the same person who knows your skin, your goals, and your history.
Personalized Chicago Service
Kimberly's path to opening a med spa in downtown Chicago was not a straight line. She started in the beauty industry at 17, drawn to the precision and science behind skincare. That early start gave her years of hands-on experience before she ever entered a formal training program.
She earned a B.S. from Florida International University and holds cosmetology licenses in Michigan, Florida, and Illinois. But the turning point came at the National Laser Institute, where she trained in advanced laser treatments and clinical skin rejuvenation. It was there that she found the intersection of technology and patient care that defines her practice today.
She held a license in Florida as a Dietitian, which gives her a perspective most laser technicians do not have. She understands how hormones, nutrition, and overall health affect the skin, which informs the way she builds treatment plans.
Why One Provider Matters
In a city full of med spas staffed by rotating teams, the single-provider model might seem like a limitation. That is actually the point. Kimberly knows your name before you walk in the door. No waiting rooms, no handoffs, just a boutique experience, tailored entirely to you.
When you see the same provider every visit, they notice things a new person would miss: how your skin responded to the last session, whether a treatment area needs a different approach, whether the settings from your first appointment are still the right ones as your skin changes over the course of treatment.
For laser hair removal in particular, this continuity matters. The Cynosure Elite IQ system that Kimberly uses has a wide range of adjustable parameters: wavelength selection (755nm Alexandrite vs. 1064nm Nd:YAG), pulse duration, spot size, and energy level. Getting the best results means fine-tuning these settings based on how your skin responds over time. That requires a provider that works with you on a personal basis who remembers your last session, not one reading notes from someone else's chart.
The same principle applies to CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling, and every other treatment on the menu. Continuity of care produces better outcomes.
The Clinic
Skin Laser & MedSpa is located on the 7th floor of the Optima Signature Building at 220 E Illinois St in Streeterville, one block from the Magnificent Mile. The space was designed to feel more like a private office than a chain spa: quiet, unhurried, and focused entirely on the patient in the room.
Kimberly works under the medical direction of Dr. Amjad Alkadri, a Board Certified Interventional Radiologist who provides clinical oversight. The technology in the treatment room reflects the same standard: FDA-cleared devices from Cynosure, Rohrer Aesthetics, and Venus, selected specifically for their versatility across all skin types and tones. Rounding out the practice is Yvonne, a Registered Nurse and skilled injector specializing in neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and laser procedures, bringing the same warmth and precision to every appointment.

The Approach
Ask Kimberly how she builds a treatment plan and she will tell you it starts with listening. Not every patient who walks in with acne scarring needs a CO2 laser. Not every patient asking about laser hair removal needs the same number of sessions. The consultation exists to understand your specific skin, your specific goals, and your specific budget before anything else happens.
She describes her philosophy simply: one cost-effective solution, one quick solution, and one long-term solution. She lays out all three and lets you decide. There is no upselling, no pressure to book a package on the spot, and no hidden fees.
That transparency shows up in the reviews. Patients consistently mention the same things: honesty about what to expect, genuine care during treatment, and results that match or exceed what was promised.
Kimberly was so sweet and honest with her approach. I loved her transparency. I knew I was in good hands.
Very thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. Kim always made me feel comfortable during treatment.
Kim is the best. I have done 2 different treatments and have been so happy with the results.
