Medical Spa
After twenty years in clinical medicine, here at Lush Health, we’ve learned that the most effective aesthetic treatments harness your body’s natural healing abilities while using advanced, science-backed technology. Here in Grand Rapids, patients are tired of treatments that promise everything but deliver minimal results. They want procedures that actually work, and that’s exactly what we provide.
Look, most places either give you basic spa treatments that feel nice but don’t change much, or they push aggressive procedures that leave you looking overdone. We do neither. What we focus on is helping your skin repair itself using medical-grade treatments that actually make a difference. Sun damage from those Michigan summers? We can fix that. Winter skin that never bounces back? We’ve got solutions.
Every person who walks through our door gets something different because that’s how it should be. What works for your neighbor might be completely wrong for you. I’ve seen too many patients frustrated because they tried the same thing everyone else was doing. That’s not how we operate here. People drive from all over, East Grand Rapids, Cascade, even Wyoming, because they know we’re going to figure out what actually works for them.
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation covers our comprehensive approach to improving skin health using multiple medical-grade treatments. Instead of just one procedure, we combine skin resurfacing, regenerative therapies, and professional-grade treatments to address whatever your skin needs most.
This might include removing damaged outer layers with chemical peels, then using micro needling to stimulate collagen production, followed by PRP or human tissue biologics to accelerate healing. It’s not a single treatment – it’s a strategic approach to actually changing your skin at the cellular level.
Most patients from Cascade and East Grand Rapids come to us because they’ve tried individual treatments elsewhere without seeing real improvement. What works better is combining the right treatments in the right sequence. Sun damage from years of Michigan summers doesn’t get fixed with one procedure. Neither does aging skin or acne scarring. The goal is to restore healthier skin function, not just make surface improvements. We’re talking about treatments that help your skin repair itself more effectively over time.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are probably one of the most misunderstood treatments out there. People think they’re going to walk out looking like they stuck their face in a fire, but that’s not how the good ones work anymore. The VI Peel and Perfect Derma Peel we use are way more controlled than what you might expect.
Here’s what actually happens: I apply the solution, which takes maybe 20 minutes tops. You’ll feel some tingling, kind of like a mild sunburn sensation, but nothing crazy. Then you go home and wait. Around day two or three, your skin starts peeling – not dramatically, just flaking off like you spent too much time in the sun.
That’s when the magic happens. Underneath all that old, damaged skin is the good stuff, smoother texture, better color, less of those fine lines that drive everyone nuts. I see patients from Grandville and Walker who’ve been dealing with sun spots for years finally get some real improvement. The beauty of these peels is they work on most people, even if you have sensitive skin. Some folks need the VI Peel for brightness, others do better with the Perfect Derma version for overall refreshing.
Microneedling
Microneedling uses your skin’s natural healing process to fix problems instead of trying to cover them up. I take an instrument with dozens of very fine needles and create tiny, controlled injuries in your skin. I know that sounds awful, but hear me out – it actually makes perfect sense when you think about it.
Your body is constantly repairing itself. Cut your finger, it heals. Scrape your knee, new skin grows back. Microneedling just uses that same process on purpose. Those microscopic wounds tell your skin to start making fresh collagen and elastin to patch things up.
Works great for acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, and pores that won’t quit. It’s not like other treatments where we burn or peel stuff off. We’re just giving your skin a reason to rebuild itself. I start with numbing cream, then pass the device over your skin for maybe 30 minutes. You’ll look sunburned for a day or two, then start seeing smoother skin. Add PRP during treatment and the results get even better.
Hair Loss Restoration
Hair loss restoration hits different when it’s your own hair falling out. I get it – hair isn’t just about looks, it’s part of who you are. Losing it messes with your confidence in ways people don’t talk about enough.
What we do here is completely non-surgical. No transplants, no scary procedures. Instead, we use treatments that wake up hair follicles that have basically gone to sleep. PRP takes your own blood’s growth factors and puts them right where your hair used to grow. Ante AGE exosomes are these powerful little messengers that tell your scalp to start growing hair again.
Human tissue biologics work too, and you don’t even need blood drawn for that one. Then there’s red light therapy – sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but it actually helps circulation and makes all the other treatments work better.
Most of my patients from Ada and Cascade see some improvement within a few months. Not overnight miracles, but real regrowth that keeps getting better. Each protocol gets customized based on what’s actually going on with your specific hair loss pattern.
Wrinkle Treatment/ Botox
Wrinkle Treatment/ Botox is probably the most straightforward thing we do here, but people still have weird ideas about it. You’re not going to look frozen or surprised all the time. When it’s done right, nobody should be able to tell you had anything done – you just look more rested.
Here’s how it actually works: I inject tiny amounts of purified protein into specific facial muscles. Those muscles relax, which means they can’t make the expressions that create wrinkles in the first place. The lines you already have get softer, and new ones don’t form as easily.
Takes maybe 15 minutes tops. Feels like tiny pinches, nothing major. You can go back to work right after if you want. Results start showing up in about three to five days, and the whole thing lasts around three to four months.
I focus on areas where it works best, forehead lines, crow’s feet, those vertical lines between your eyebrows that make you look mad even when you’re not. Patients from Wyoming and Kentwood usually come back every few months to keep things looking natural and fresh.
Ready to See Real Results?
Look, I’ve been doing this for over twenty years, and the biggest mistake people make is waiting too long to address skin concerns. Those fine lines aren’t going to get better on their own, and sun damage doesn’t magically reverse itself.
The good news is we can fix most of what’s bothering you. Whether it’s wrinkles, acne scars, hair loss, or just skin that looks tired all the time, we’ve got medical-grade solutions that actually work. No gimmicks, no unrealistic promises – just treatments backed by science and my clinical experience.
Your first step is a complimentary consultation where we’ll figure out exactly what’s going on with your skin and create a plan that makes sense for your goals and budget. We can meet in person at our Northland Drive location or do it virtually if that works better for your schedule.
Don’t keep putting this off. The sooner we start, the better your results will be. Call us at (616) 386-1840 or schedule online to get started.
