Aesthetic PCP

We sat down with Megan Marzec, NP-C, Aesthetic PCP at Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center in Ann Arbor, to talk about what drew her to aesthetic medicine, why regenerative treatments have become such a central part of her approach, and how thoughtful, personalized treatment plans can help patients look refreshed while still feeling completely like themselves. With a background in plastic surgery and non-surgical aesthetics, Megan shares why she believes confidence comes from enhancing, not changing, your natural features.

Can you tell us a little about yourself? What do you enjoy outside of work?

I live in southern Michigan and love spending time outdoors whenever the weather allows. Running, hiking, long walks, traveling, and trying new restaurants are some of my favorite ways to recharge.

I’m also passionate about wellness, skincare, fashion, and lifelong learning, so I’m always looking for opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

What inspired you to pursue a career in aesthetic medicine?

I was drawn to aesthetic medicine because it blends medicine, artistry, and human connection.

I love helping patients feel more confident while honoring what makes them uniquely beautiful.

Before joining Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, I worked in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, gaining extensive experience with injectables, lasers, and advanced non-surgical treatments.

Have you personally tried the treatments you offer? Which are your favorites?

Yes, I’ve personally experienced many of the treatments I recommend, which helps me better educate and empathize with patients.

My favorites are neuromodulators, biostimulators like Sculptra, PRF, and collagen-stimulating treatments such as Morpheus8.

I love treatments that work with your body’s natural healing processes to create gradual, natural-looking improvements.

What’s your philosophy when it comes to aesthetic treatments?

My philosophy is simple: refreshed, never overdone.

The best aesthetic results are often the ones no one can identify.

People notice that you look healthier, more rested, and more radiant, not that you’ve had work done.

How do you create results that look natural and balanced?

Natural results come from respecting each patient’s unique anatomy, practicing restraint, and creating individualized treatment plans. I focus on facial balance, proportion, and long-term planning rather than chasing quick fixes.

In aesthetics, less is often more.

What treatments do you enjoy performing the most?

I especially love facial balancing with dermal fillers, regenerative injectables like Sculptra, and collagen-stimulating treatments.

I also enjoy creating combination treatment plans that address volume loss, skin quality, muscle movement, and tissue support together for the most natural outcomes.

What concerns do patients most commonly come to you with?

Many patients are concerned about skin laxity, volume loss, under-eye hollows, pigmentation, rosacea, textural changes, or simply looking tired.

Most aren’t looking to change their appearance, they just want to look like a refreshed version of themselves.

What’s one of your favorite treatment combinations for natural-looking results?

One of my favorite approaches combines neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport, regenerative injectables such as Sculptra, collagen-stimulating treatments like Morpheus8, and medical-grade skincare at home.

Addressing aging from multiple angles creates gradual, balanced results that still look completely natural.

Can you share a memorable patient success story?

One patient came in feeling very self-conscious and worried about looking overdone. We created a gradual, regenerative-focused treatment plan, and over time she looked refreshed, radiant, and told me she finally recognized her younger self in photos again.

Those moments are incredibly rewarding.

Many patients worry about looking overdone. What do you tell them?

That’s one of the most common concerns I hear. I explain that overdone results are usually the result of overtreatment or inappropriate treatment, not the treatments themselves.

My goal is always to enhance someone’s natural features with thoughtful, conservative care.

What do patients often misunderstand about aesthetics?

Many people think Botox or fillers will completely change their face or make them look unnatural. When performed correctly, these treatments are incredibly subtle.

Skin rejuvenation also isn’t about one treatment, it’s consistency and layering different therapies over time that creates the best long-term results.

Is there a treatment that’s surprised you with its results?

Morpheus8 continues to impress me.

The amount of collagen stimulation and tissue remodeling it creates over time is remarkable, especially considering it’s a non-surgical treatment.

What’s one piece of advice you give every new patient?

Don’t chase trends.

Build a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your anatomy, goals, and long-term health.

Trust the process, and don’t compare yourself to what’s popular on social media.

What makes Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center (CSLC) different than other med spas?

CSLC combines advanced aesthetic medicine with regenerative medicine in a very intentional, medically driven way.

I love our collaborative culture, our commitment to innovation, and our patient-first philosophy.

Every treatment plan is built around what’s truly best for each individual.

How have you seen aesthetics evolve over the past 5 years?

The industry has shifted away from overfilled results toward regenerative, longevity-focused treatments that prioritize collagen preservation, prevention, and skin quality.

I think it’s a much healthier and more sustainable approach.

Where do you see aesthetic medicine heading over the next 5-10 years?

I think we’ll continue moving toward more personalized, regenerative care with even greater emphasis on prevention, biologics, energy-based technologies, and longevity medicine. It’s an exciting direction for both providers and patients.

What does confidence mean to you?

Confidence means feeling aligned with yourself and comfortable in your own skin.

At its best, aesthetic medicine helps support that confidence by allowing people to feel like the most refreshed, authentic version of themselves.

What skincare product can’t you live without?

Daily sunscreen is completely non-negotiable.

Right now, I love Colorescience Flex because it offers excellent SPF protection with beautiful tinted coverage.

What treatments are always part of your own routine?

Dysport and Sculptra are two treatments I continue to come back to because they support natural, long-term rejuvenation.

What’s your favorite coffee order?

A grande iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso from Starbucks, sometimes with an extra shot of espresso.

Dream destination for rest and recharge?

Somewhere along the Italian coast or the Mediterranean with sunshine, incredible food, espresso, and slow mornings.
