Our Team

Jessica Luckie
Med Spa Director

It comes as no surprise that as a female business owner, Jessica Luckie would understand the power of feeling our best. But zero in on the way she harnesses that power and translates it into real-world results, and you’ll likely do a double take. Distinguished as one of Charleston’s leading body sculpting and anti-aging skin care centers, The Spa at West Ashley is known for creating a VIP experience for every patient who walks through their door. Trading pressure for trust, Jessica’s highly trained team offers everything from HydraFacials to permanent makeup, but they are intentional about making sure technique and service never supersede a patient’s peace of mind. “We’re really here to instill confidence, and you can’t do that for your patients unless they know they can trust you first,” she says. “We have the state’s top certified technician in CoolSculpting®, and our nurse injector is highly sought after for dermal fillers and neurotoxins, but learning our patients’ stories and helping them achieve their goals (regardless of their stage of life) is by far the most fulfilling and rewarding part of what we get to do.”

About Jessica

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, she moved to Charleston in November of 2015 establishing her new home here in West Ashley. Jessica graduated from Kennesaw State University with her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and Psychology.

Jessica has been working in the medical field for over 16 years and has traveled the country working with numerous offices, including Dermatology. She has a passion for skin health and cosmetics. When she is not at the spa you can find her spending time with her family either at the beach or poolside. Don’t worry she’s a strong believer in sunscreen!

Chris Miller RN

Aesthetic Nurse Injector

About Chris

Chris Miller has been an RN for over 30 years, working in aesthetics for the last 11. Her nursing career encompasses pediatric and neonatal intensive care as well as oncology, vascular access and hospice.
“My favorite anti aging treatment is by far micro needling. I feel that over any other treatment, micro needling addresses not only collagen loss but fine lines and wrinkles, texture issues as well as color and tone of the skin. I recommend micro needling routinely every 3 months to keep collagen producing rather than reducing.

When it comes to injectables, I consider myself a conservative injector. I strive for beautiful natural looking results. In addition to traditional fillers, I love using bio stimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse to promote a natural production of collagen and elastin. Bio stimulators really can turn the clock back and provide so much more than just volume as with traditional fillers.

I look forward to visiting with you and putting together a great anti aging plan that’s affordable, attainable and realistic for you.”

About Dr Bush

A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Bush completed his undergraduate education at Duke University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He completed his Medical Doctorate at East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine in 1993, followed by a residency in emergency medicine at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. In 1997, Dr. Bush moved back to his home state to begin his professional medical career at Randolph Hospital in Asheboro. There, he created a private group of emergency medicine physicians and helped staff the hospital’s emergency department. After 7 years in Asheboro, he decided it was time for a change.

He and his family moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2004. Dr. Bush joined the faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he helped start the hospital’s Emergency Medicine Residency. He has lectured to hundreds of medical students through the years and has helped train over 90 emergency medicine physicians.

Dr. Bush is presently the Program Director for the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at MUSC, a position he has held for the last 9 years. As he is looking to transition out of the high paced environment of the ED, the field of aesthetic medicine has drawn his interest.
