Train to Lead in Spa and Medical Settings
Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute has been educating successful professional estheticians since 2012. We offer a specialized approach to esthetics education, preparing graduates for careers across traditional spa environments and medical skin care settings.
Our 750-hour program covers the fundamentals of esthetics alongside advanced techniques and procedures essential for today's industry, focused on working alongside dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other medical professionals. Students graduate ready to thrive in the spa or medical setting, launch their own business, or develop their own product and makeup line.
Scope of Practice: Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute prepares students for Illinois esthetician licensure. Licensed estheticians provide skin care, facial, hair removal, and makeup services within the scope of practice defined by Illinois law (225 ILCS 410). Estheticians do not diagnose or treat medical conditions or perform medical procedures; estheticians working in medical settings do so under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider. Illinois does not issue a “medical esthetician” license.

“Hi my name is Jennifer Klein, I am a graduate of Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute. I recently opened a Medical Spa in Riverwoods IL with my husband Dr. Tom Klein. Skin care has always been a passion of mine and teaching clients how to care for their skin is a very rewarding career. I owe my knowledge of skin care and client relations to Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute, the teachers are extremely helpful and explain how what you learn in the classroom translates into real work situations. It is all about the clients comfort and trust, we at NU Age Med Spa make sure the clients understand all the treatments they are receiving and why it will benefit them in the long run. Thank you Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute for guiding me into this rewarding industry.

“I was a doctor in Mongolia specializing in internal medicine. When I came to the U.S. my dream was to find a profession that is closely related to my medical training in my country. I did research to find the best to train me in medical esthetics and the answer was: Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute. I have now graduated from Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute having learned skin structure and analysis, skin structure, machinery used in Esthetics and Medical Esthetics, and all proper procedures to take care of the skin. The school even provided business classes where we learned how to open our own business. I am now very often asked for my advice on skin care and have even been featured in a book. My next goal is to use the vast knowledge I received from Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute to open my own medical spa. Thank you so much for everything.”

My name is Mareia. I recently graduated of Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute in Skokie. I started Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute with a goal of opening my own medical spa. While at Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute, I learned all the skills needed to open my own successful medical spa. I learned skills such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, different ways to correct skin irregularities, micro-current face lift, ultra sound techniques for skin as well as infusion and much more. I have now opened my own medical spa called Transformation Body Mind and Soul located at 7900 N. Milwaukee Ave Niles IL 60714 and in the process of opening a second location. I perform all the techniques I have learned at Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute as well as many other skin rejuvenation and correction techniques in my spa with great results!
