MEDIA REVIEWS

Without notice another year passes by; we are another year older, and another wrinkle wealthier. When our good genes fail us we must turn to our good sense of direction to point us towards those skilled at softening the blows of Father Time and Mother Nature. For me the compass pointed due north and brought me to the Gold Coast location of Whole Beauty Institute.
The Gold Coast is Chicago's Mecca of haute couture, trend and beauty. Perched seven floors above Neiman Marcus, and overlooking the historical Water Tower Place, rests a peaceful sanctuary of beauty that mirrors the prestige and reputation of the area. Whole Beauty Institute was founded by Dr. John Q. Cook, a renowned aesthetic plastic surgeon. Whole Beauty Institute, in both the Gold Coast and Winnetka locations, have the unique ability to assess a client's needs on both a therapeutic and surgical level.

Stepping into renowned aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Cook’s Whole Beauty Institute feels akin to stepping into a picturesque Winnetka residence. It’s no wonder that this distinguished North Shore practice prides itself on treating their patients like extended family.

Located on tree-lined Green Bay Road, the free-standing brick building fits seamlessly into the neighborhood. Convenient curbside parking, flowers and verdant green grass welcome patients at the entrance. Upon entering Whole Beauty Institute, guests discover an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. With moss green upholstered walls, rich mahogany wood, a muted gold sofa, and red arm chairs, the reception area reflects the sophistication of doctor and his expert staff.

Dr. Cook’s credentials are nothing short of impressive and include degrees from both Yale and Northwestern, as well as eight years of surgical training at St. Luke’s Medical Center and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I expected to be intimidated by this esteemed plastic surgeon but upon meeting Dr. Cook, I was impressed by his affable and comforting demeanor. This was a man I could entrust with my face (and body)!

I tried this place on a whim from the Pretty in Pink promotion in October. I have always wanted to try microdermabrasion and since I'm getting a bit older, I feel like I have to be a bit more aggressive in skin maintenance.

Scheduling was easy. The office is not difficult to find unless you're directionally challenged in the suburbs like me. The staff is welcoming and professional. The office also offers many other cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery.

I had Molly as my aesthetician and she was efficient and helpful. She answered a lot of my questions frankly and gave good recommendations. The entire session consisted of a thorough cleaning and the microdermabrasion, which I didn't know started until 20 seconds into it, putting my qualms regarding pain level to rest. The entire procedure was 25-30 minutes tops and I left with no irritation or redness and my skin felt like a polished stone. Molly even showed me all the dead skin that came off and OHHHH EWWWWWW! I could not stop raving about it to all my friends and for a month afterward, my moisturizer still went on smoother and my results have been better than any cleansing facial I have ever had. Thanks to Molly, I plan to integrate more microdermabrasion sessions into my skin care.

Theoretically, to get the best effects, you are supposed to have one session per week for the first few weeks and then a maintenance microdermabrasion session every month. Each session costs $100, but there is a package deal of six for $510. While I definitely don't have enough discipline to go every month, I will most likely be purchasing this package and be making more of an effort to keep this additively smooth feeling and better skin!

This place has been the best find from the Pretty in Pink promotion and I definitely plan to be back.
