Megan Kabour and her husband, Ameer Kabour, M.D., opened the doors of MK Beauty two years ago in Sylvania. Kabour has a degree in organizational communication from the University of Miami in Ohio. She was in medical sales for the past 18 years. Dr. Kabour is a cardiologist who also has a background in plastic surgery. “One of our dreams was to open a medical spa,” stated owner Megan Kabour. “We wanted to create an upscale medical spa to enhance our client’s beauty at affordable costs with leading-edge efficacious treatments. One of our mottos is ‘You dream, we deliver.’ If a client comes in wanting to focus on resurfacing their skin, we have a treatment. If you want weight loss, we have a program. If you want to just take care of your skin, we have facials. We believe what you put out, you give back. Our client’s needs are our number one concern.”

The couple strategically planned to be in their building, located at 7640 W. Sylvania Ave., due to its proximity to Dr. Kabour’s cardiology practice. “We also wanted to be involved in the Sylvania community,” stated Kabour.

So many treatments so little time
MK Beauty offers a variety of treatments from Hydrafacials to micro-needling to improve the quality of your skin. “You come into MK Beauty with a problem, we have a solution. For example, the Hydrafacial is great for acne as is Micro-needling,” stated Kabour. “When I was younger I suffered from acne. Because of my experience, I wanted to provide treatments and positive results for others.” Dr. Kabour also does laser hair removal, fractional lasers, IPL [intense pulse light] which focuses on red spots and skin pigmentations, and treatments to reduce deep scarring. “Our weight loss program is just phenomenal and closely monitored,” stated Kabour. “We also do cool sculpting and Smartlipo. Many skin care lines are so pricey our clients start with them and then stop. We created an MK skincare line which provides the same effect yet is affordable to our clients. We also offer waxing, peels, Jane Iredale products, and Botox and Dysport fillers. We have a modality to cover pretty much everyone’s needs.”

The Savvy gets resurfaced
When I arrived at MK Beauty, I was asked about my current regime. It is embarrassing to say that for the past five decades, I’ve been regime-less and take “low maintenance” to a whole new level. It was suggested that a Hydrafacial with dermaplaning (AKA removal of peach fuzz) would work wonders and give me glowing skin that would last for weeks. A very capable, Katie Albaugh-Borton, medical aesthetician, did my treatment. She even worked on my chin(s). I asked her which of my three she was going to focus on and was informed that I could get a “cool mini” treatment to resolve that issue. Maybe next time. I must say, I emerged from MK Beauty a new woman. My skin was smooth and radiant. I met a friend after my treatment and she actually used the word “glowing” to describe my appearance. She suggested that it might be nice to finally remove the remnants of the toenail polish I’ve been meaning to take off since April to go with my newly improved complexion. I reminded her that Rome, or a regime, wasn’t built in a day.

The future looks firm and glowing
The couple hopes to continue expanding their services by bringing in other medical providers and adding new locations. “Medical spas are the future,” stated Kabour. “We want to continue providing the most advanced medical procedures for our patients. We are looking forward to a bright future and I love that it began in Sylvania. We’re 100 percent committed to our patients. We are small and designed that way purposely. No one will feel like a number here. If you look your best, you feel good, which we believe can lead to a more fulfilling life. Knowing you are helping someone to present the best version of themselves is a pretty amazing feeling.”
