Dr. Michael Green is a board-certified physician and the founder of MGMD Aesthetics, a boutique medical aesthetics practice in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. With over 30 years of combined experience in medicine and aesthetic rejuvenation, Dr. Green has dedicated his career to helping clients look and feel their best with natural, refreshed results.
A Trusted Medical Professional with a Personalized Touch
Dr. Green began his medical aesthetics journey in 2000 when he opened his first aesthetic practice, LightCare Medical Spa. In 2013, he expanded his expertise by leading medical services at Spaderma Med Spa in Lincoln Park. In 2019, driven by a desire to provide deeply personal care, he opened MGMD Aesthetics — a boutique practice focused on individualized treatments rather than high-volume procedures.
Alongside his extensive experience in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Green brings 25 years of experience as an Emergency Physician. This medical foundation gives him a unique understanding of facial anatomy, safety, and patient care — a combination that elevates the precision and confidence with which he performs every procedure.
Philosophy: Natural Beauty, Informed Precision
Dr. Green believes that aesthetic treatments should enhance your unique features, not overwhelm them. His aesthetic philosophy emphasizes subtle, natural-looking improvements. He takes time with every patient, listening to your goals, explaining all options, and applying his expertise to deliver results that look refreshed, not overdone.
“You don’t want anything permanent in your face — your face changes over time. Treatments should evolve with you, not lock you into something that doesn’t fit later.” – Dr. Michael Green
This patient-centric approach, paired with meticulous technique, ensures that each treatment is tailored precisely to your goals, muscle structure, and facial anatomy.

Why Patients Choose MGMD Aesthetics
What sets Dr. Green apart is not just his experience, but his hands-on, compassionate approach. Every consultation and procedure is conducted directly by Dr. Green himself — not delegated to assistants or nurses. He prioritizes patient education, individualized care plans, and a calm, supportive environment where questions are welcome and results are crafted with care.
Time Invested In You
Unlike some Med Spas and aesthetic practices, Dr. Green takes the time to understand what your goals are and help you achieve them whenever possible. Every new patient will have ample time to ask questions and get explanations. While some injectors use an “inject by numbers” approach with every patient getting the same pattern of injections, he examines each and every muscle to be injected for the best placement of neuromodulators, (Botox/Dysport) and evaluates each and every face with an individualized approach to a more youthful appearance.
Caring Approach
Dr. Green uses his experience and allows ample time because he truly cares about his patients. It is the caring approach which has led him to scale down the size of the practice into a more intimate setting with the goal of real improvement, one patient at a time and not a rapid fire high volume approach to moving patients through the system.

What Makes MGMD Aesthetics in Lake View Different?
At MGMD Aesthetics, everything begins with a simple goal:
natural-looking results that make you look refreshed — not “done.”
Dr. Michael Green, MD focuses on personalized, physician-performed treatments designed to enhance your features without changing who you are. The highest compliment his patients receive isn’t “Who did your injections?” — it’s “You look great,” or “You look so refreshed.”
If you choose to share that you’ve had aesthetic treatments, the response Dr. Green aims for is always the same:
“I never would have known.”
Why Natural Results Matter
Nearly every patient who walks through the door shares the same concern:
“I don’t want to look unnatural.”
It’s a valid fear. We all notice the overdone results — exaggerated volume, frozen expressions, faces that no longer move naturally. Those outcomes are memorable because they stand out. What most people don’t realize is that they encounter beautifully done aesthetic work every day — results so subtle and balanced that they simply read as healthy, youthful, and well-rested.
Dr. Green’s approach is built around avoiding the obvious and focusing on what actually makes a face look younger:
-
balanced proportions
-
softened shadows
-
restored support in the right places
-
preservation of natural movement
It’s never about adding volume everywhere. It’s about placing small amounts thoughtfully to restore harmony.
Boutique Care, Physician Expertise
MGMD Aesthetics is intentionally designed as a boutique practice. You work directly with Dr. Green — not a rotating team of injectors — at every visit. This continuity allows him to truly understand your face, your goals, and how your features change over time.
The result is aesthetic care that feels personal, unhurried, and carefully considered — and results that look natural at every stage.
A Philosophy of Subtle, Personalized Rejuvenation
Dr. Green practices what he often refers to as “Midwest aesthetics.”
In contrast to more aggressive or trend-driven approaches sometimes associated with major coastal markets, his philosophy prioritizes restraint, balance, and authenticity.
The goal is not to look different.
The goal is to look like you — just more rested, confident, and refreshed.
Every face is evaluated individually, with careful attention to how light and shadow fall across your features. Small, precise adjustments can create meaningful change without ever drawing attention to the treatment itself.
