About

Dr. Mike

Enthusiastic and always focused on what the patient needs, Dr. Michael Kennis brings to the field of medicine a refreshing and cordial approach to procedures that most are familiar with. Beginning his education at Tulane University and completing medical school at The American University of Antigua, Michael has accumulated experience in a multitude of venues around the country, making his work in mobile medicine no stranger to him. Michael’s specialty in Family Medicine helped him hone in his skills in forming long-term patient-provider relationships, while his later work as an Urgent Care Physician at “CityMD” added a diverse and always changing layer of medical experience to his repertoire.

Following his passion for medical aesthetics and his ability to learn quickly from hands-on experiences, Michael founded Velour Medical in August of 2020, with him taking up the role of Lead Physician and Founder. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Velour broke ground as the first at-home luxury concierge aesthetics service, bringing a refined yet friendly experience into the client's own home.

The tasks of tearing down the stale patient-provider barrier and destigmatizing enhanced beauty are always forefront in Dr. Kennis' mind, as he and Velour Medical continue to establish themselves as disruptors. His willingness to take risks that better the patient and his vision of expanding the reach of his practice to anyone and everyone seeking the refreshingly luxurious and highly personalized care that Velour offers has been instrumental to the company's sustained growth. Stemming from a genuine excitement in medicine and commitment to excellence as a provider, Dr. Kennis’ dedication to his patients allows him to bring the utmost professionalism and reliability to the field of aesthetic medicine.

clients have to say...

I love Velour! Dr Kennis and Kori are wonderful. They listen to what I want and provide suggestions as needed. I've recommended them to so many friends - even my parents! Can't say enough good things.

Went to a friends botox party 2 weeks ago to see Dr. Michael for the first time. I've been using Peachy since moving to NYC but they always go a little overboard and leave me feeling heavy. However, Dr. Michael gave me the perfect amount of toxin! I loved the experience so much that I went to visit him in the office today for filler and ended up getting my chin, cheeks, laugh lines and lips done. I look about 5-10 years younger!

Dr. Michael Kennis is a true gem in the aesthetics industry. Highly educated, professional, and extremely friendly. There's no one like him, and I can't emphasize that enough! I saw Dr. Kennis for a consultation and a touchup because a previous injector from another clinic led me to have a botched forehead and ruined my face. Dr. Kennis was extremely knowledgeable and insightful; he listened to my concerns, and what I admired the most was his expertise and insights on injecting Asian features. That meant a lot to me. I learned a lot from that, and honestly, that speaks volume on how he's educated in enhancing natural yet impactful beauty from ALL different ethnicities and knowing the right techniques. Coming from an Asian woman like myself, that's very important to us to have an injector/medical professional who understands us and how to enhance our beauty due to our distinct facial structure and features. I will forever trust Dr. Kennis with my face! I'm definitely spreading the message around to all my Asian friends! I can't wait to come back again!

Cannot express how incredible Velour and Dr. Michael Kennis are. I became a client a year and a half ago, and truly feel as though I’ve aged back a decade. Dr. Kennis is receptive to talking through anything and always listens and evaluates with my best interests at heart. I love referring my friends and get excited watching their journeys as well. A+++ for Velour :)

Dr. Kennis and team are always so thorough, professional and thoughtful. He makes sure to discuss any concerns prior to treatment and you will never walk out of the office thinking you over did it. He is very mindful of your needs.

Samantha Strauss

Outstanding service and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr Mike is unparalleled!

Alex Hodges

Could not have been more impressed with Michael Kennis MD and Velour Medical MD as a whole. He KNOWS what he’s doing and he’s 100% honest — this is really important. Many providers will tell you what you want to hear and simply do work to make money (that’s how people end up botched). That’s absolutely not the case with Michael. His prices are beyond fair and you can tell he takes pride in his work and the integrity of it. It’s not about money. I asked him for his recommendations and trusted him with it (I’m no rookie at this, but I know the importance of letting a professional assess your face and give you honest feedback.) What we may think we need, we don’t. Other things like Sculptra I hadn’t ever looked into. The difference was night and day. I am SO pleased with this office, the way it’s run, their price points, but most importantly PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Highly, highly recommend!!!

Dr Kennis and the entire team at Velour are the absolute best. I have done Botox and filler with them for years now and will never go to anyone else. Professional, convenient (concierge), friendly, and the absolute best results every time.

Velour is your one stop shop for everything injectable! Dr. Mike, Cyma, and Kori always provide the best service and are extremely personable. They focus on accentuating your natural beauty so you never have to worry about “overdoing it”. Kiana and Genesis are so helpful when booking appointments and answering any questions I have! Also love their IV drips, I will definitely be back.

Honestly the best service ever. I feel comfortable and confident in their capable hands. Couldn’t ask for a better and more skilled provider.

Lauren Williams

Dr. Kennis is not only a skilled doctor, he is a genuinely kind and fun person. He knows his stuff and is smart as a whip. He does beautiful, natural work. He also comes to your home, which makes life a lot easier. He has come to give me regular Covid tests and I’ve never had to wait on a line. I refer him to everyone I know and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.
