Fulcrum Aesthetics and Surgery

I had such a great experience at Fulcrum Aesthetics. Brittany was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, which made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout my visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Chris Martindale is literally the best ever! I have seen Chris for botox & filler for over a year now and I can't say enough good things about him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly an expert at what he does. He takes the time to explain everything in detail, answers all my questions, and makes sure I feel completely comfortable before starting any treatment. He offers amazing insight and gives an honest/thoughtful opinion. He's smart and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the science backing of the injecting world. His technique is gentle and precise, and the results are always natural and beautifully balanced. I never feel overdone. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his work.

I came to Fulcrum Aesthetics for treatment after receiving a recommendation from my colleague—and I was cared for by the wonderful Brittony Croasdell. From the very start, the experience felt exceptional. On the morning of my appointment, I received a welcome text asking which beverage I would like upon arrival. When I walked in, the friendly office staff greeted me with that exact drink. I couldn’t tell whether I was heading to a five-star hotel on vacation or a medical appointment—that’s how elevated and thoughtful the service was. Every detail, from the calming music to the attentive atmosphere, helps put you at ease, especially if you’re someone who gets nervous about needles (me). Brittony provided a holistic, individualized treatment plan tailored to my features and anatomy. I received three different treatments: Dysport, Restylane Kysse, and Sculptra for an added collagen boost. As someone with South Asian facial structure, it is so important to choose a provider who truly understands detailed facial anatomy—even for treatments as common as neurotoxins. I’ve had difficult experiences at other practices where injectors were still trying to figure out my anatomy, leaving me with spocked or worse- dropped eyebrows (those outcomes are frustrating because nothing can be done until the product wears off.) With Brittony, this was the first time I was treated by a new injector and still achieved a completely natural result after my very first Dysport session. She absolutely nailed it. Tanner skin tones with more melanin, like my Indian complexion, can be more prone to hyperpigmentation. I was especially impressed with how intentionally Brittony approached my treatment to support skin clarity. I’m also happy to see real improvement in former acne scarring and smoother, clearer skin (thank you Sculptra!). I even walked outside yesterday with no makeup on (who am I?!) I'm loving the results from my treatment. It’s giving truly glowing skin and elevated artistry. As someone who trains injectors professionally, Brittony is an expert in her field. She is knowledgeable, intentional, and genuinely caring. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. If you’re considering aesthetic treatment, RUN—don’t walk—to Fulcrum Aesthetics. Thank you Brittony and your amazing staff!

Fulcrum Aesthetics is easily one of the best med spas in Chicago. Brittany is an incredibly knowledgeable injector and someone I trust completely. She takes the time to explain everything, makes me feel comfortable and confident, and her technique is truly unmatched. You can tell she is extremely skilled and thoughtful about her work. She puts her patients first as well when making recommendations which is really important. Danel the medical assistant, is also amazing! He is honestly one of my favorite parts of visiting. He answers every question I have and makes the entire experience feel so fun! Fulcrum Aesthetics has an incredible facility, staff, and level of care. I can’t recommend them enough.

I’ve been to my fair share of estheticians, and hands down, Danielle is the best in the business. If you have the means, she will quickly become one of the most important people in your life. Her expertise, incredible bedside manner, and flawless, painless execution truly set her apart. I’ve never looked or felt better, and I owe it all to Danielle and the wonderful staff at Fulcrum! 🥰
