Dedicated to providing the finest quality aesthetic medical care treatments available, the professional, friendly, expert team founded by board-certified plastic surgeon Joseph E. Mark, MD., has consistently dedicated itself to patients’ comfort, safety, and desired aesthetic results. The Spa MD offers a range of services including CoolSculpting, CoolTone, injectable fillers, botox, chemical peels, facials, lasers, and more. We had the opportunity to sit down with facility director since 2002, Tina Polleiner, to learn about what makes this space, and this team so special.
With med-spas popping up on every corner, it's become even more important to The Spa MD team to continue to offer services at the highest level. They pride themselves on being leaders in their industry, staying focused on continuing their education and never compromising service. Contrary to what you may see at other med-spas, they are proud to say that they are never the first practice to offer a service first, based on the motto instilled in them by Dr. Mark; "we only offer thoroughly researched products, treatments and devices that offer real results." They exercise this belief in every area of their expertise because they know that ultimately, the decisions they make will have direct impact in their patients' lives. The philosophy of The Spa MD has always been wholeheartedly believing that their patients are at the heart of everything they do. Their goal is always to ensure patients feel cherished and valued every time they visit. What means the most to them, is that their patients trust in their integrity and expertise, and that they are always being guided in the right direction for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
In an industry that can be viewed as luxury, The Spa MD team knows that what they do for people can be life changing. We asked some of their team members why they love what they do, and they had no shortage of examples of how they've seen patients lives impacted directly. "Seeing the positive impact my work has on my patients is what inspires me to continue to grow and learn in my industry. I believe my work goes much further than the superficial level. Self care is a luxury we all deserve that affects us inside and out. Seeing the confidence I can give my patients is the best reward. I had a young woman who had severe scarring on her face that left her unable to wear makeup. After multiple sessions with a Skin Resurfacing laser and Micro-needling, she had her full confidence back. Hearing of the compliments she was receiving throughout our skincare journey made this a special one for both of us", said Samantha Follebout, Skin Care and Laser Specialist.
Throughout our conversation with Tina at The Spa MD, it was clear how important their patients are to them - many of them becoming like family after providing services to them for decades of their life. "What we do here can be a real gift for people. It can change the way they walk through their life, and how lucky are we to get to be a part of that! That's not something we take lightly."
Pouring into people is a common thread that weaves itself into every decision that is made at The Spa MD. For the past 15 years, the team has been partnering with Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, a non-profit, Christian organization committed to positively changing the lives of the unwanted, addicted, and homeless. They offer many services, including emergency shelter, food, clothing, and medical care, as well as addiction recovery programs and job training. With the support of donors, Grace Centers of Hope can continue to provide these essential services to those in need. Each December, The Spa MD collects donations, gifts, and much needed items such as cleaning supplies, and toiletries. They welcome everyone to drop off donations to their location, regardless of patient status.
If you're looking for a space to call home for your med-spa needs, we're pretty sure we found the perfect place.

I believe these treatments go beyond aesthetics; they can foster a deeper sense of self-acceptance and empowerment. - Jennett McLane
