Somenek+PittmanMD continues to set the standard for beauty in the DC area.
The gorgeous and modern office of Somenek PittmanMD.
Two years ago, I walked into the shiny new S+P MedSpa for the first time and knew the team behind its creation had immediately redefined the industry. Yes, the medspa boasted the requisite treatment rooms and services, but the aesthetic, team and service level were unmatched.
This wasn’t your mother’s medspa.
I shouldn’t have been surprised. After all, Dr. Troy Pittman and Dr. Michael Somenek (somenekpittmanmd.com) have redefined what it means to be a premier plastic surgery and aesthetics destination. Their West End practice, Somenek+PittmanMD, is more than just a medical office—it is a sanctuary where beauty, science and luxury converge. With a high-end surgical practice and now a prestigious new role as Consulting Medical Directors for the entire Blue Mercury brand, Pittman and Somenek continue to set the standard for aesthetic excellence in the Washington region.
BEYOND SURGERY: A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO BEAUTY
From the beginning, Somenek and Pittman envisioned a practice beyond traditional plastic surgery. “We see personal wellness as a journey more than a destination,” says Dr. Pittman. “We wanted to invest in our patients rather than run a transactional practice.” This philosophy led to expanding their services, creating a full-spectrum beauty destination that addresses every aspect of aesthetic wellness.

While their surgical expertise remains at the heart of the practice, they have seamlessly integrated noninvasive treatments and a curated skincare philosophy into their offerings. “A holistic approach to beauty involves more than just surgery,” Dr. Somenek explains. “It’s about balancing surgical procedures, noninvasive treatments and daily skincare to achieve the most natural and long-lasting results.”
Their approach empowers patients to make informed, personalized choices. Dr. Troy Pittman Surgical procedures provide dramatic, lasting transformations, while injectables, lasers and regenerative treatments offer subtle refinements. Meanwhile, their emphasis on medical-grade skincare ensures patients maintain the integrity of their skin, enhancing the longevity of their results.
THE RISE OF THE S+P MEDSPA
A cornerstone of Somenek+PittmanMD is the S+P MedSpa, an elite destination for nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Here, patients can experience state-of-the-art facial and laser services and the transformative therapies offered in the practice’s Wellness Lab. Treatments such as IV vitamin therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and lymphatic massage go beyond aesthetics, promoting overall well-being and cellular health. “We’re seeing a major shift toward regenerative treatments,” Dr. Pittman notes. “Patients want results that look refreshed and natural, and cutting-edge options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and biostimulators are leading the way.”

This commitment to innovation has positioned Somenek+PittmanMD as the go-to destination for high-end surgical transformations and everyday aesthetic enhancements. Whether a patient seeks a customized skincare regimen, a subtle facial rejuvenation or a complete surgical transformation, the practice provides a concierge-level experience.
A NEW ERA WITH BLUE MERCURY
Adding to their impressive credentials, the doctors have recently been named Consulting Medical Directors for Blue Mercury. This industry-defining move underscores their expertise and influence in aesthetics. “This partnership came at the perfect time,” says Dr. Somenek. “Blue Mercury wanted to strengthen its medical-grade skincare presence, and we are excited to provide guidance and input across their entire collection of products and services.”
Their collaboration with Blue Mercury aligns perfectly with their mission to integrate advanced skincare solutions with aesthetic treatments. “We love how Blue Mercury has always been clinical yet approachable,” Dr. Pittman adds. “Through this partnership, we aim to redefine beauty as a reflection of inner health and vitality, setting new standards in the industry.”
While the doctors remain tight-lipped on upcoming expansions, their dedication to innovation and patient care ensures that they will continue to shape the aesthetic landscape in Washington and beyond. “As you know, we believe in expansion always—in all ways,” says Dr. Somenek with a smile. “There are exciting things on the horizon, but no spoilers just yet.”
For those seeking the pinnacle of beauty and aesthetics, Somenek+PittmanMD isn’t just a practice—it’s a destination—a place where science meets artistry and where beauty is more than skin deep.
