Physician-directed · RN-injected · Crown Point, Indiana
Lakeshore Aesthetics exists for one reason: Northwest Indiana shouldn’t have to drive to Chicago for medical-grade aesthetics — or settle for a salon playing doctor. Meet the people who make that true.
Lakeshore Aesthetics started, honestly, with a commute. Our founder, Megan Kowalski, grew up in Schererville, earned her nursing degree, and spent the next decade injecting at one of Chicago’s busiest Gold Coast aesthetics practices — the kind of place where appointments book out two months and the valet knows your name.
What she noticed, year after year: a surprising share of her appointment book had Indiana addresses. Women from Munster, Dyer, St. John, and Valparaiso were leaving work early, paying Skyway tolls, and circling for parking — because nothing closer to home felt medical enough to trust.
So she moved the medicine instead of the patients. The bet behind Lakeshore Aesthetics is simple: Northwest Indiana deserves Chicago-caliber aesthetics — physician oversight, an experienced injector, FDA-approved devices — without the 50-minute drive or the Gold Coast markup. We opened in Crown Point, ten minutes from the courthouse square, and the Region has been proving the bet right ever since.
Every treatment at Lakeshore is delivered or directed by a licensed medical professional. Here’s who you’ll actually meet.
Medical Director · board-certified physician · reviews every new client plan before treatment
“Nothing happens here that I haven’t reviewed first. My role is the unglamorous side of aesthetics — health screening, dosing limits, safety protocols. The unglamorous side is exactly what keeps results looking natural.”
Founder & Lead Nurse Injector · registered nurse · 9+ years injecting · thousands of syringes
“After this many syringes, the skill isn’t knowing where to inject — it’s knowing when to stop. I’d rather you come back at your two-week follow-up for two more units than ever walk out overdone.”
Laser & Skin Specialist · certified laser technician · licensed esthetician
“Lasers aren’t magic — they’re physics, and physics is honest. I’ll tell you exactly what your skin and hair type can expect. And if a $30 sunscreen will outperform a $300 treatment, you’ll hear it from me first.”
Don’t take our word for any of it. We published a guide to vetting med spas — the credentials to verify, the questions to ask, the red flags to walk away from — and we mean for you to use it on us, too. Read How to choose a med spa: 9 credential checks, then browse our treatments with sharper questions.
Every clinician logs continuing education annually — advanced injection anatomy, laser physics, complication management — well beyond what Indiana licensure requires.
Products and devices come direct from manufacturers like Allergan and Galderma. No gray-market imports, no “same active ingredient” substitutes, ever.
Hyaluronidase stocked in every treatment room, a physician-directed emergency kit, and protocols we drill quarterly — precautions we expect to never need.
Licenses and certifications are displayed in the clinic, and we’ll walk you through any of them. Ask — we consider that a green flag, not an insult.
