Better Med Spa
picked by Meta Muse, shortlisted by Instinct

“Lincoln Park med spa publishing exact SkinPen microneedling pricing (3 sessions $1,200 full face, $1,350 for acne scars/stretch marks; RF microneedling from $650/session) with a consultation-first model — though only a 'Schedule Your Consultation' request path/call was visible and no actual dated appointment times were shown.”
“Published package pricing ($249 per session, $699 for 3, $1,299 for 6) with an acne-scarring before-and-after gallery showing results after 3 sessions.”
“Offers a free consultation before first treatment with microneedling around $250 per session, though its 708 area-code phone suggests a suburban location rather than Chicago proper.”
“A booking marketplace with per-neighborhood listings rather than a specific vetted clinic with named providers.”
“Same marketplace consideration as the West Loop listing; pricing ($80-$399) is too variable to compare against the picks.”

“Opened page says microneedling is by licensed medical providers under physician supervision, lists acne scarring as a concern, offers a complimentary skin consultation and shows a 3-session face package at $1,149; no dated appointment time was seen, so availability is unknown.”
“Opened page says SkinPen microneedling starts at $400, a 3-session full-face package is $1,200 and mild to moderate acne scars are a common reason to book, with a consultation at the Lincoln Park clinic; providers were not named and no slot was seen.”
“Opened page says nurse practitioners treat acne scars, naming Stefanie Drozd as a full practice authority nurse practitioner, but I did not capture a price or any slot.”
“Opened page says microneedling is done by licensed aestheticians directed by a dermatologist and candidacy is confirmed at consultation; no price was found so it ranked below the picks.”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in October 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
