Welcome back to The Med Spa Method. I'm your host, Dr. Leslie Schweitzer, DNP, CRNA, APNP, owner of Lush Aesthetics & Wellness.
Today, we're talking about four of the most underrated treatments in aesthetics. While everyone seems focused on Botox, filler, and the latest social media trend, some of the treatments that create the biggest impact on skin health and long-term results often get overlooked.
We'll discuss why medical-grade skincare is the foundation of great skin, why chemical peels continue to deliver incredible results, why IPL is one of the best treatments for sun damage and discoloration, and why erbium laser resurfacing remains one of my favorite tools for skin rejuvenation. -

Welcome back to Med Spa Method — I’m Dr. Leslie Schweitzer, DNP, CRNA, APNP, owner of Lush Aesthetic & Wellness.
Today we’re talking about one of my all-time favorite treatments: SkinPen microneedling. This treatment holds a special place in my heart because it was actually the very first device I ever brought into my practice — and years later, it’s still one of the treatments I personally love most.
In this episode, we’re diving into what microneedling actually does, how it stimulates collagen production, and why it’s such a powerful treatment for acne scars, fine lines, texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin rejuvenation. I’ll also walk you through what to expect during treatment, post-care tips to help you heal beautifully, and how often you should be doing treatments to get the best results.
If you’ve ever wondered whether microneedling is worth the hype — this episode is for you. Let’s get into it. -

This week on Med Spa Method, Dr. Leslie Schweitzer breaks down why Radiesse is one of her favorite injectable tools for creating natural structure, lift, and long-term collagen stimulation. From jawlines, chins, and pre-jowl correction to hyperdilute treatments for the neck, chest, and hands, she shares how she uses this versatile biostimulator in real practice.
She also compares Radiesse to Sculptra, explores the science behind Type I and Type III collagen stimulation, and explains why some injectables do more than fill—they help rebuild.
Because some fillers fill… some help rebuild. -

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—treatments in aesthetics: erbium laser resurfacing.
If you’ve ever wondered how to truly improve skin texture, reverse sun damage, soften fine lines, or get that “no makeup” skin… this is the treatment you need to understand.
We cover:
What erbium laser actually is (and why it works so well)
The difference between deep resurfacing vs. lighter, fractional treatments
Popular options like Sciton Contour TRL, Cutera Pearl, Fotona SP Dynamis, and Sciton Halo
What skin concerns erbium can actually fix (and where it shines the most)
What to expect before, during, and after treatment—including downtime
Who is the best candidate—and who might need something different
We also get real about results—why stronger treatments often mean better outcomes, and why not all “laser facials” are created equal.
If you’re tired of surface-level skincare and want real skin transformation, this episode will help you understand your options and make confident decisions. -
Welcome back to Med Spa Method!
Today I’m diving into one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics—neurotoxins. If you’ve ever heard terms like Botox, Jeuveau, Daxxify, or Letybo and thought… wait, are these all the same thing? This episode is for you.
This is really your intro guide. I’m breaking down what neurotoxins actually are, how they work, and the different options that are out there right now. Think of this as the foundation—because there is a lot more to unpack when it comes to treatment plans, dosing, technique, and results.
So today, I’m just scratching the surface and setting the stage for future episodes where I’ll go much deeper into everything neurotoxins can do.

In this episode of Med Spa Method, we’re breaking down the TikTok beauty trends that are taking over—and what’s actually safe, effective, and worth your time.
From DIY Botox and at-home microneedling to skin flooding, IPL devices, and over-the-counter chemical peels, these trends promise big results—but often come with real risks. I walk you through what these treatments are meant to do, where they go wrong at home, and why professional guidance matters more than ever.
If you’ve ever been tempted to try a trending skincare or aesthetic treatment you saw online, this episode will help you make smarter, safer decisions about your skin—and avoid costly mistakes. -
