No, Illume is not a chain. Illume began with the merger of two local practices in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown to become the largest cosmetic surgery and medspa practice in the Milwaukee area with three locations in Franklin, Milwaukee, and Waukesha. We’re able to provide our patients with the widest scope of treatment options and more convenience while maintaining the highest level of care and providing the best outcome possible.

These treatments include hydrafacials, chemical peels, Moxi laser, Botox, lip filler, vitamin injections, Semaglutide, and more. Each treatmet will be tailored to your specific skin type for optimal results.
