About

AVU Collective is based in a flagship of roughly 15,000 square feet on Executive Court. Four studios, Skin Bar, Med Bar, Hair Lab and Wellness, share the building, and Women's Health medical services operate alongside them. The business serves patients from South Barrington, Barrington, Lake Barrington, Inverness, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg and the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

The business says all of its studios work from one plan and one client record. A first visit opens with analysis, including diagnostic imaging and a goal mapped with the client, before any treatment is chosen. Every plan begins with imaging and intake, and medical programs add labs, after which a written plan is prepared. Progress visits re-measure clients about every 90 days against their own starting point.

Skin Bar covers facials, HydraFacials in 30-, 45- and 60-minute versions, a relaxation facial, Bespoke skin analysis using Alma IQ imaging and a custom medical serum, chemical peels, broadband light photofacials, dermaplaning, brow, lip and chin waxing, and laser tattoo removal. Med Bar offers chemical peels in light, medium or advanced strength, SkinPen microneedling, ClearLift laser lifting, a clear skin laser for acne-prone and congested skin, VascuPen vein laser treatment, and GLP and peptide consultations.

Hair Lab provides laser hair removal priced by area, including full-face and full-body sessions, along with Alma TED needle-free hair restoration, which delivers a growth serum through the scalp with ultrasound. Wellness offers hyperbaric oxygen sessions in a hard-shell chamber with a provider present for the whole visit, a one-hour full-body massage, and clinician-directed therapeutic massage that starts with an intake.

Women's Health provides hormone health programs, peptide therapy and IV therapy under clinician supervision, beginning with a consultation and lab review to confirm candidacy. The complimentary Women's Health Consultation is a 30-minute visit with Dr. Meena Malhotra. A card is needed to hold every appointment, including complimentary ones, which are not charged, and cancellations inside 24 hours may incur a fee.

The business treats skin, hair, wellness and medical care as one plan, starting with imaging, intake and labs before any medical program. It says it will suggest a home-care change instead of a laser series when that better meets a client's goal, and will not promise timelines biology cannot deliver, giving the real number before payment.
