Meet Our
Aesthetic Expert-Master Injectors, Clinical Providers and Medical Aestheticians
At Symmetry Med Spa, we know every person has unique and personal aesthetic goals and we’re here to help you achieve those goals. Because we know…life is full of milestones, some to celebrate and some to survive: You’re getting married. You had a baby. You finally lost that weight. You hit the big 4-0. You hit the big 5-0. Any one of these major events-and countless more-may inspire you to finally put in place an aesthetic plan to help you look and feel like your most amazing self.
And here’s the thing: You shouldn’t have to navigate these decisions alone-and you don’t have to! Our team is ready to join you in celebrating with you and creating a personalized plan that is perfect for you.
We’re passionate about our patients and their natural beauty. And with Dr. Bradley Bengtson and Dr. David Alfonso, two board certified Grand Rapids plastic surgeons leading the team we have carefully curated the most advanced scientific skincare solutions and non-surgical technology available. We cannot wait to meet you.
