More than a traditional med spa, the Institute of Aesthetic Medicine (IAM) is a premier, locally owned medical aesthetic and wellness practice grounded in experience, innovation and trust. While IAM has been serving the region for three and a half years, its clinical leadership boasts decades of specialized expertise. Founder and Clinical Director Shannon Foley, MSN, AGNP-C, brings over 20 years of injecting experience to the practice, establishing an exceptional standard of care across both their Berlin, Maryland, and Milton, Delaware locations.
Driven by a mission to help every patient look and feel like their best self, IAM combines medical expertise and advanced technology with personalized artistry. At IAM, aesthetic enhancement and total well-being go hand in hand. The practice is widely recognized for delivering natural, sophisticated results that enhance an individual’s authentic beauty rather than changing who they are. Taking a comprehensive approach to longevity, skin health, and aging well, IAM creates individualized treatment plans that evolve alongside each patient’s journey.
Their diverse range of evidence-informed services includes advanced injectables, facial balancing, regenerative aesthetics, laser and skin treatments, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, metabolic management, and GLP-1 weight management. Supporting this holistic vision is a team of highly trained medical providers, nurses, licensed aestheticians, laser specialists and wellness professionals. Continuous education and ongoing evaluation of emerging technology are central to IAM’s culture.
Beyond technical mastery, the team takes pride in fostering a welcoming atmosphere where patients feel genuinely heard, respected, and cared for. Earning recognition as a Best Of 2026 winner reflects the deep trust placed in IAM by patients who continue to choose, recommend, and grow with this extraordinary practice.
