Med alert

Most of us put our skin through the ringer all summer long. We run around in the sun (and maybe even forget sunscreen once in a while), clog our pores with sweat and then wake up one fall morning with tired, flaky skin, some new wrinkles and fine lines. To the rescue—and in the nick of time—is BoDY Med Spa, a new medical-grade spa in Oak Brook. The owners—two couples who met at a spa conference in Las Vegas—wanted to provide cutting edge skincare treatments in a luxurious ambience. To that end, the menu includes high-tech treatments like Live Stem Cell Therapy ($225 with the HydraFacial), a topical application of bovine cells that supposedly share their biologically undamaged DNA with aged face cells to encourage fresh, plump skin to grow. Botox, Restylane, cellulite-fighting services, facials and medical-grade hand and foot treatments are also on offer. While clients are getting services, the spa offers complimentary jewelry cleaning—so no matter what kind of toll summer took on you, you’ll look dazzling when you come out. 3021 Butterfield Rd, Suite 204, Oak Brook (630-586-9999, bodymedspa.net).—Liz Plosser
