THRIVE in 2025 with Michigan’s Avenue new wellness and aesthetics clinic

Just in time for the New Year when wellness resolutions are at an all-time high, Michigan Avenue welcomed a transformative addition to its iconic scene with the grand opening of Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics. The clinic celebrated its official opening on November 7, 2024 at its location on the 19th floor of 30 N. Michigan Avenue.

Founded by Dr. Krystle Miles, a family medicine physician with a lifelong passion for health and self-empowerment, Thrive aims to redefine wellness and aesthetics in Chicago.  

Dr. Miles, inspired by her upbringing in her mother’s beauty salon, created Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics on the foundational belief that true transformation goes beyond the surface. “Growing up in my mother’s salon, I witnessed how enhancing someone’s appearance could lift their spirit and completely transform their outlook on life,” she shares. “At Thrive, it’s about cultivating self-assurance and positivity that radiates from within.”  

This dual focus on physical and overall vitality is at the heart of Thrive’s mission. Offering services from hormone therapy and IV hydration to advanced aesthetic treatments, Thrive designs personalized wellness plans that empower Chicagoans to look, feel, and live their best. 

A personalized approach to wellness  

In a bustling city where convenience is king, Thrive’s tailored treatments cater to the unique needs of busy professionals. “Chicago’s fast-paced lifestyle demands wellness solutions that are impactful and convenient,” Dr. Miles explains. “By focusing on what matters most to each client, we deliver results that fit seamlessly into their active lives.”

An example of this is shown in Thrive’s IV hydration options, which provide a quick energy boost or recovery solution; likewise, hormone therapy and personalized weight management programs focus on sustainable, long-term results.  

Thrive also takes a deeply personalized approach to care, setting it apart from the typical wellness clinic. “One of the most common misconceptions about wellness clinics is that they are overly commercialized or impersonal, leaving clients feeling like just another number in a transactional environment. At Thrive, every client receives VIP-level attention,” says Dr. Miles. “Through our single-provider model, every client receives undivided attention and care tailored specifically to their unique needs. This approach not only ensures exceptional results but also fosters trust, understanding, and long-term relationships.”  

A unique philosophy of empowerment  

Dr. Miles’ journey to opening Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics reflects a combination of personal passion and professional expertise. Her medical background enables her to address the root causes of health concerns, creating lasting improvements rather than temporary fixes. Meanwhile, her early experiences in her mother’s salon instilled a deep appreciation for the transformative power of self-care and its impact on confidence and well-being.   

“This blend of medical expertise and emotional insight allows us to help clients achieve balance between physical health and mental well-being,” Dr. Miles says. “Our goal is to help them embrace their most confident, authentic selves.”  

The clinic’s dedication to building confidence extends beyond aesthetics. Hormone therapy programs don’t just optimize physical health—they’re said to also improve mood, enhance sleep quality, and boost mental clarity. This holistic approach fosters resilience and vitality, enabling clients to thrive both inside and out.  

Redefining wellness in Chicago  

Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics is more than just a clinic—it’s a partner in the wellness journey of its clients. Dr. Miles and her team are actively engaging with the local community through workshops, corporate wellness programs, and an active social media presence that shares practical tips and inspiring success stories.  

One particularly transformative success story involves a client who had struggled with weight gain and low energy for years. After a detailed consultation and taking the time to truly understand the client’s concerns, Dr. Miles created a plan combining hormone optimization and a sustainable weight management program. The client not only achieved her weight loss goals but regained her confidence, her energy, and a renewed sense of self.  

“She told us she felt like herself again for the first time in years,” Dr. Miles shares. “Hearing that reinforces why we do what we do.”  

Future growth for Thrive  

As Thrive continues to grow, Dr. Miles envisions expanding its services to include advanced laser therapies and additional cutting-edge aesthetic treatments, ensuring the clinic remains at the forefront of innovation. However, the heart of Thrive’s philosophy will remain the same: delivering personalized, transformative care that sets a new standard for wellness in Chicago.  

“Whether it’s enhancing confidence through aesthetics or revitalizing health through tailored programs, we’ll continue to prioritize creating a sanctuary where clients feel supported and empowered,” Dr. Miles says.

Getting started at Thrive  

For those new to wellness care, Dr. Miles recommends starting with a HydraFacial combined with a Halo Skin Analysis, an easy way to refresh and learn about your skin’s unique needs. From there, a personalized low-pressure wellness consultation can help create a roadmap tailored to your goals and lifestyle.  

Other unique treatments offered at Thrive include therapy for thyroid health and an exclusive therapy program called ThriveVigor that offers specific wellness solutions for men’s health.

With its opening on Michigan Avenue, Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics is poised to become a cornerstone of Chicago’s wellness scene. Guided by Dr. Miles’ expertise and compassionate philosophy, Thrive invites Chicagoans to elevate their health, confidence, and vitality in a welcoming boutique setting.
