Compassionate and affordable healthcare from Dr. Greenspon and his kind staff. Read more about the team at Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics. Staff Meet Dr. James Greenspon MD Dr. Jim specializes in nutritional counseling and family medicine, inspired by his father and weight loss pioneer, Dr. Irwin Greenspon. He graduated from Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!) in 1981 and continued on to Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis where he earned his MD degree in 1985. Dr. Jim completed a residency in family practice at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Jim eagerly returned home to join his father's historic practice, established in 1949, where he acquired his father's time-tested wisdom and techniques. After helping countless people lose and maintain their weight, he has become an expert in the weight loss field. To accommodate patients who were making a long drive to the main Lansing location, he added a satellite office in Northfield in 2016 that is easily accessible near interstate 94. Both Lansing and Northfield welcome walk-ins, though appointments are recommended for beauty procedures. He also continually adds new products, technology, and other services to give patients even more options to feel good about themselves in one location, including the most popular weight loss treatments, GLP-1 medications, Botox, fillers, laser treatments for skin, Emsculpt, peels, medical grade skincare products, and so much more! Dr. Jim always brings a sense of humor and warmth with him to work each day and is easy to talk to. And he loves when patients return the favor and crack their own jokes. He also takes a thoughtful and caring approach to practicing medicine that is increasingly harder to find in most places healthcare is sought. He loves learning languages and is multilingual! Dr. Greenspon speaks German, Spanish, and French, and knows a bit in many other languages thanks to his patients who teach him new words. Some of his favorite things in life are the simple things. When he isn't working, he can be found taking long walks, playing pickle ball, doing his best to keep up with the latest music (perhaps more so than his kids), and looking forward to his next Caesar salad, with balsamic vinaigrette substituted for Caesar dressing of course! He also never skips his morning fitness routine of floor exercises and resistance bands. What can we say, he practices what he preaches! Meet Our Staff Our experienced staff ensures a thorough visit leaving each patient well-informed about the importance of proper nutrition and exercise. They recognize the daily struggles, hectic schedules, and fast-paced environment in which we all live, listening, evaluating, and formulating a strategy that will assist patients in achieving their weight-related, health, and aesthetic goals. Each staff member brings their own unique perspective to the practice. We also have multiple aesthetic nurse injectors on staff who are trained in beauty procedures like Botox, fillers, and fat dissolvers. We welcome walk-ins but prefer appointments for beauty procedures to make sure time is reserved for you.

For men and women who want to restore smoother skin to their facial profile, we offer multiple solutions to relax visible signs of aging and refresh your appearance. Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that relax muscles under the skin, preventing new wrinkles and reducing current ones. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers create immediate volume in hollowed areas of the face. Comprised of hyaluronic acid and other substances that are found naturally in your body, dermal fillers combine with the water in your body. Fillers are injected with a fine needle underneath the skin in desired areas and your new look can last for up to a year.. We offer dermal fillers for all of your cosmetic concern, some of them listed below. What are the differences between the different types of Restylane? Each is designed to have a different consistency, used in different locations or ways depending on what your aesthetic goals are. Fillers can be used to change the appearance of laugh lines, nasolabial folds and other deep lines, contour the shape of the cheeks, enhance the size or shape of lips, and they can help restore your looks after weight loss or simply aging.

It gives your body the "tools and ingredients" it needs to stimulate production of your own natural collagen. Sculptra works subtly and gradually over time for results that can last more than two years. Microneedling This procedure is one of the most powerful ways to stop aging in its tracks and prevent new fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Microneedling or collagen induction therapy involves using fine needles to create tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production. Vi Peel The Vi Peel contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients suitable for a variety of skin types. This peel will help to improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin while providing anti-aging benefits.

Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics is about giving you options. If you are a good candidate for them, we have different kinds and combinations of weight loss medications. If you want a simple diet and exercise route, we can help you there too. If you do all three, well power to you!

We would also never want you to feel weight loss isn't worthwhile because of fears of loose skin. Weight loss is worth it, and if your weight is causing health issues for you, losing weight and restoring your health is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. And for folks who have common comorbidities associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, or diabetes, we see people like you walk into our office every day.
