Nu Image Aesthetics & Wellness Institute
Verified listingAbout Nu Image Aesthetics & Wellness Institute
## What is this place? Nu Image Aesthetics & Wellness Institute is a medical spa and wellness clinic at 39 N Williams St in Crystal Lake, serving the northwest suburbs of Chicago. It's a broader aesthetics practice — hair restoration, lasers, injectables — that also runs a physician-directed weight-loss and hormone program under medical director Dr. Asad Shah, a board-certified internist.
## What does it treat? The weight-loss injections use semaglutide and tirzepatide, alongside lipotropic "skinny shots," B12, and peptide stacks such as AOD-9604 and CJC-1295. The clinic also offers hormone replacement therapy, IV therapy, peptide therapy, and wellness shots, plus non-medical services like massage and Dysport injections. Patients get a full lab evaluation before starting, then weekly check-ins with dosing adjustments and nutrition coaching, according to the clinic.
## What does it cost? Nu Image doesn't publish a single dollar figure for weight-loss injections, semaglutide, tirzepatide, peptide therapy, HRT, or IV therapy anywhere on its site — the only prices listed are time-limited promotions unrelated to these services, like $50 off a facial. The site also mentions "NU VIP Membership" and "Wrinkle-Free VIP" tiers without stating what either costs or includes. There's no published consult fee either. To get a real number here, you have to call or book a consultation.
## Who provides care? The team includes Dr. Asad Shah (board-certified internist and medical director), physician assistant Stephanie Goede, PA-C, and nurse practitioner Urska Hajek, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC. Several other named staff — estheticians, injectors, a massage therapist — appear on the team page, but the site doesn't say which titles belong to which of them.
## Hours and access The Crystal Lake location is open Monday through Friday — 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday and Friday, later on Tuesday and Thursday until 7 p.m., 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Wednesday — plus Saturday 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; it's closed Sunday. The site doesn't say whether the clinic accepts insurance, doesn't state how many years it's been in practice, and doesn't confirm whether virtual visits are available — it only notes "in-person or remote support" for the weight-loss program without further detail.
