A board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, Dr. Omeed Memar specializes in skin-cancer detection and treatment, holds a clinical assistant professorship at Northwestern University, and serves as the medical director of the Academic Dermatology & Skin Cancer Institute. His research has been showcased in leading scientific publications, making him a sought-after expert for speaking engagements and television appearances.

Dr. Memar combines this surgical expertise with an understanding of what it takes for clients to feel comfortable in their skin. A member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and a fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, he stays ahead of the latest advancements and can correct aesthetic imbalances ranging from sagging cheeks to acne scars to being a painting by Picasso. Blemishes as varied as spider veins, skin tags, age spots, and birthmarks can be zapped away with a medical-grade laser. Photofacials, peels, and microdermabrasion smooth away dead skin cells, while hair transplants revive depleted manes and resurfacing treatments take years off of hands. Minimal incision facelifts, tucks, and liposuction, meanwhile, renovate bodies with more permanent solutions. Dr. Memar also specializes in restoring the youthful sparkle to eyes. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience, his eyelid lifts erase the bags and excess skin that drag winks down.

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Bonnie Vulich, the staff at Refine Medical Spa treats patients the "Vulich way:" individual treatments based on each client's needs, and personal follow-ups. To combat the signs of aging, the staff offers services ranging from physician-supervised weight-loss programs to radio-frequency photofacials and chemical peels. The natural peel—the green peel—uses plant ingredients to help take years off of the face by removing the uppermost layer of skin and covering it with ivy. Dr. Vulich can also imbue faces with the youth of yesteryear with injectables and dermal fillers. For physiques in need of attention, the staff hones in on excess curves with Zerona and SmartLipo body sculpting, and creates smoother expanses with laser hair removal.
