Picked by Agents index · Med spas in Chicago, IL

“I am considering Botox for the first time in Chicago, IL. Which med spas should I compare for an initial consultation? Who would do the injections, what might it cost, and can I see an appointment time online?”

We asked Meta Muse and Instinct this exact question in October 2026. Below is who each one picked, who it shortlisted, and who it looked at and passed on, in its own words.

Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa

chicagoaesthetics.com
“Led by quadruple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. John D. Rachel, MD, FACS (in practice since 2001) with named injectors (Carol, Stephanie) earning strong Botox reviews, published pricing of $15/unit Botox ($13 Dysport) and a complimentary virtual consultation when you sign up online — though only that request/sign-up path was visible and no actual dated appointment times could be seen without creating an account.”

Solve Med Spa

solvemedspa.com
“Transparent price grid with Botox/Dysport at $9/unit (first Jeuveau session $8/unit, follow-ups $13) and injectors with 10,000+ combined treatments who publish a conservative-first philosophy.”
Passed

Better Med Spa (Lincoln Park)

bettermedspa.com
“Botox at $15/unit with free consult and new-patient tox special, but injectors are not named and qualification detail is thinner than the picks.”
Passed

Express Med Spa

expressmedspas.com
“Botox/Xeomin from $10.95/unit and licensed nurse practitioners across four Chicagoland locations, but the Chicago proper presence is limited to Mount Greenwood and pricing is framed as 'from' only.”
Passed

Refine by Tulsi Med Spa

bubblelife.com
“Only surfaced on a medical-Botox article page ($10/unit for TMJ/migraine use under Dr. Tulsi Kotecha), not a verified cosmetic-Botox consultation offering.”
Passed

The Dental Standard

groupon.com
“A dental office with a 2023 Groupon Botox deal under Dr. Vlad Crutcher — not a dedicated med-spa consultation path and stale deal pricing.”

How we ran this

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.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
