A Boutique Med Spa Experience
A Personalized Glow at a Pittsburgh Boutique Spa
Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness is a boutique med spa and wellness studio in Pittsburgh’s North Hills where experience, clinical judgment, and continuity of care come first. Led by Melissa Kolowitz, PA-C, you’ll work one-on-one—from consult to follow-up—with the same provider who listens closely, sets realistic timelines, and favors conservative dosing for natural-looking results. Sessions are unrushed and private, so you feel informed, comfortable, and confident at every step.
Your personalized plan may include injectables (neurotoxins, fillers, Sculptra®), skin rejuvenation (microneedling, chemical peels, supportive skincare), laser hair removal, and wellness options like GLP-1 medical weight management. We combine evidence-based techniques with a refined aesthetic eye to deliver subtle, refreshed outcomes and steady, gradual improvements—the kind that look like you, only well-rested. This is Aesthetics & Wellness done thoughtfully: expert care, a serene setting, and results you’ll love in real life.

The regimen impacts the outcome.
In-office treatments get the headlines. But what you do at home matters just as much. ZO® Skin Health is the medical-grade line we trust between visits: dermatologist-formulated, science-backed, and actually effective. Not a department store brand.

Client Stories
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Stephanie MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really oily skin and redness, I kept following all these skincare routines off tiktok but decided it was time to really get advice from a professional. Melissa seriously knew exactly what my skin needed. She picked out a chemical peel that was just right for my skin concerns, she explained to me everything I needed to do moving forward. I really felt heard and when I left I already saw a huge difference in my skin. It's been a week later and I am seriously obsessed with the results!! I am so grateful!Posted on Jessica MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at Aetheria Aesthetics for my ZO peel. Melissa was absolutely fantastic—and so incredibly sweet. She took the time to really understand my skin, my goals, and my concerns before making recommendations. I never felt rushed, and I truly appreciated how thoughtful and knowledgeable she was in explaining the process and giving personalized advice. Highly recommend Aetheria Aesthetics and Melissa if you’re looking for expert care with a genuinely kind touch!Posted on Kianna BrunnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience getting Botox with Melissa at Aetheria Aesthetics! She is seriously the sweetest and makes you feel comfortable right away. She’s also super knowledgeable and really strategic with where she places the injections, which I appreciated a lot. The whole process was way more painless than I expected, and she has such a gentle technique. My results turned out AMAZING — super natural and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend Melissa if you’re thinking about Botox. She’s the best! ✨Posted on brittany pentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely adore Melissa! Her space is cute and clean. I went to her for Botox and could not be more thrilled with my results. Melissa is so knowledgeable and thorough. Everything was so well explained to me. I am sooooo happy that she does a two week follow up for Botox because my before and after pictures are MIND BLOWING!!!! I could physically see a difference in the mirror but then seeing the before pictures next to my current photo…I was shocked! She is so gifted. I am sooooo happy I found her !Posted on Rachelle FarquharTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and good experience! Reasonably priced and realistic!Posted on Dakota PetersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible experience with Melissa! She’s the absolute SWEETEST! I got Botox and she went over what the products were and the science behind them, making sure I knew what I was putting in my body. Her suite is so cute and well done I loved everything about it! 1000000/10💕Posted on Aaryn HuntTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Melissa today! I didn’t realize that the Sola suites moved to the mall, I love the location. Her suite is very clean and intimate. She is knowledgeable and skilled with a medical background as a PA and that gave me full confidence in her doing my laser hair removal treatment. I’ll definitely be back!Posted on Brooke PostlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express how amazing Melissa is! I left there after getting the ZO accelerated peel feeling so excited to have finally met someone who listened to my concerns and created a plan for me that is backed by science. Melissa took the time to sit with me and fully explain each product and each step of the experience. I will recommend her to everyone!Posted on Madi ShickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This experience has completely changed my skin. Melissa did an amazing job making me feel comfortable about microneedling throughout the entire session. I cannot recommend her services enough. With her years of experience, you’ll not only leave with a glow, but also a ton of knowledge about your skin.Posted on Trinity RomesbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got microneedling done and it was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and made the process worth it. Her space is super clean and aesthetic!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every new patient relationship at Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness™ starts with a 30-minute consultation. We review your aesthetic goals, medical history, what you’ve tried before, and what you’d like over the next several years, not just today. Treatment may follow the same day if it’s a fit, or be scheduled separately. There’s no pressure to book treatment at the consultation. Every consultation is private with Melissa Kolowitz, PA-C.
Yes. Conservative dosing is our default. We may underdose on your first visit so we can review the result together at the two-week follow-up and add more if you want. Going the other direction takes months for the product to wear off. The goal is to bring out the version of you that looks rested and authentically you, not to erase expression or change what makes your face yours.
Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness™ is led by Melissa Kolowitz, PA-C, a Physician Assistant with more than 20 years of surgical and clinical experience. Her background in surgical settings informs a clinically grounded approach to aesthetic medicine, where treatment recommendations are made within the context of your full medical history. Patient care plans are developed and overseen by Melissa, with treatments performed under her clinical direction.
Your first visit begins with a private 30-minute consultation with Melissa Kolowitz, PA-C. We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and walk through which options are designed for your specific concerns. If you choose to proceed with treatment the same day and Melissa confirms it’s a fit, that can often be accommodated. Otherwise, treatment is scheduled at your convenience. The aim is for you to leave with a clear plan and time to consider it.
Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness™ offers neurotoxins (Botox® and Xeomin®), dermal fillers including the RHA family, Sculptra® biostimulator, InMode Luxora with Morpheus8 Burst and Quantum RF, microneedling, chemical peels, laser hair removal, spider vein removal, ZO Skin Health medical-grade skincare, our Metabolic Transformation program with GLP-1 medications, and peptide therapy.
