The med spa was founded by husband and wife Amanda Rathert and Dr. Nick Rathert, and it describes itself as a serene med spa in historic Waterloo. Amanda worked in emergency medicine and critical care nursing before moving into aesthetics in 2020. Dr. Nick Rathert serves as Medical Director and provides medical oversight for all aesthetic care at the business.
A visit begins online. New clients set up a client portal, share contact details and skin treatment history, then pick services and a date and time through the online booking system, which also handles memberships, packages and gift cards. Every client completes a one-time initial medical consultation with Dr. Nick Rathert before receiving aesthetic services, as Illinois regulations and office protocol require. Laser hair removal also requires a consultation before treatment starts. Treatment planning covers the client's goals and an assessment of skin tone and texture.
The laser menu runs on Sciton equipment, which the practice has upgraded to the HEROIC system with a 532 filter. BBL is typically given in 3 to 5 sessions and can be repeated monthly, and clients may feel a sunburn-like sensation for up to 24 hours afterward. BBL is not performed on clients with melasma. Moxi, a fractional laser usually given in 3 to 5 sessions spaced several weeks apart, is offered for melasma instead. Every BBL and Moxi treatment includes a complimentary Epicutis aftercare kit and mask. Potenza RF microneedling can be done on the face, neck, chest or body for concerns such as stretch marks, acne scars, laxity and uneven tone.
The physician-led wellness program offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and thyroid management. Plans may combine BHRT, thyroid management, medication, supplementation, lifestyle recommendations and additional testing. The program does not use hormone pellets, preferring therapies whose doses can be adjusted. Visits include a 15-minute Wellness Discovery Consultation for $125, with the fee applied toward treatment if the patient moves forward, and a 60-minute Road to Wellness physician consultation for $500. Baseline labs must be completed at least 2 days before that visit. They can be drawn at the practice for about $150 to $180, or through Quest Diagnostics and submitted to insurance. Weight loss injections use semaglutide or tirzepatide at $300 or $350 per month, and alcohol is limited during treatment.
Memberships are offered at $199 per month for the esthetics and medical tiers and $299 per month for the ultimate tier. Each includes one facial of the member's choice each month from an eligible list, with unused facials rolling over within the calendar year. Members also receive a free PRP upgrade to microneedling, 10% off skincare, 10% off injectable and laser treatments, and a free monthly B12 injection. Certain tiers add monthly Visia scans and a yearly BBL in the member's birthday month. The shop carries medical-grade skincare and cosmetics, and gift certificates are available.
Focuses on natural-looking results using techniques the practice describes as evidence-based, with each plan shaped around the client's goals and skin.
The business describes its space as warm and inviting, with personal care central to every service.
