Roots & Philosophy
Our Story
Founded in December 2022 as Lush Aesthetic Bar, our journey began with a simple vision—to create a medical aesthetics and wellness experience where clinical excellence, honest guidance, and natural-looking results come first. What started as one location quickly grew into something much bigger, evolving through multiple expansions and new opportunities before coming home to the name that started it all: Lush Aesthetics & Wellness.
Today, Lush Aesthetics & Wellness proudly serves clients at two Wisconsin locations—Manitowoc, and Coleman—offering a modern, medically driven approach to aesthetics, skin health, and wellness. Founded by Dr. Leslie Schweitzer, a doctorate-prepared advanced practice nurse, Lush was built on the belief that exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional education, safety, and individualized care.
Our team of advanced practice providers, registered nurses, and licensed aestheticians combines medical expertise with artistic precision to deliver treatments that enhance your natural beauty while honoring what makes you uniquely you. At Lush, we believe aesthetics should never feel intimidating, trendy, or one-size-fits-all.
Every consultation, treatment plan, and recommendation is rooted in science, transparency, and a genuine commitment to helping you look refreshed, feel confident, and age on your own terms. This is more than a med spa. This is Lush Aesthetics & Wellness—where expertise meets artistry, and where your confidence is always our priority.
