Spaderma

What Spaderma does

Spaderma, operating under the legal entity Laser & Vein Aesthetics, Ltd., is a Chicago-based medical aesthetics group founded in 2000 operating five brick-and-mortar locations across the Chicago metro (Lincoln Park, West Loop, North Shore/Wilmette, Lakeview, and Wicker Park, the latter configured with 17 treatment rooms). The group employs 74-75 providers across a 101-250 employee base and serves thousands of patients monthly, having performed over 3 million treatments since inception. It holds the #1 national provider designation with Hydrafacial, SkinPen, and Moxi, signaling top-tier rank within key device manufacturer networks.

The service catalog spans laser hair removal, injectables, skin rejuvenation, and body treatments, complemented by a curated retail assortment of clinical skincare brands (SkinCeuticals, Alastin, SkinBetter, and others). In 2025 Spaderma expanded its recurring revenue infrastructure by introducing two subscription memberships — Zap Pass ($25-$199/month) and Hydra+ Pass ($150/month) — and added a GLP-1 weight loss program offering Semaglutide and Tirzepatide at $310 and $585/month respectively, delivered state-wide in Illinois via virtual consultations. The company also formalized clinical training through "The Collective" sub-brand and a dedicated Education Director role.

The revenue model is a hybrid of one-time fee-for-service aesthetic procedures, recurring subscription memberships, and retail product sales. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the physical footprint and the virtual GLP-1 channel; the company is privately held and founder-owned. In November 2025 Spaderma deepened its device-vendor alignment with Sciton through a 12-system OMNI laser deployment, signaling a capital-intensive push to scale treatment throughput across the network.
