Dr. Jessica West is the Medical Director for the Michigan Center for Cosmetic Services. She is known for her superior aesthetic results, strong attention to detail, artistic eye, and honest expert opinion in regards to both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. She specializes in minimally invasive and non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation and preventative aesthetic medicine. Patients seek her out for her exceptional credentials and consistent history of creating elegant, natural-looking results.
Dr. West believes in the power of providing her patients with a personalized approach to addressing their individual cosmetic needs. She strives to make patients feel comfortable throughout their entire aesthetic journey, by taking the time to answer questions, respond to concerns, and educate patients on all options available to achieve their best outcome. Dr. West’s philosophy towards rejuvenating cosmetic treatments: “Everyone who comes through my door is uniquely beautiful. I don’t want to drastically change anyone’s appearance. My job is to enhance their natural beauty and restore them to their former glory by turning back the hands of time. My focus is always to provide exceptional, natural and harmonious results.”
