Since opening in October 2018, Seaport Medspa has grown from a single location to a multi-site medical aesthetics practice with over 40,000 patient visits across Boston and Brookline. The focus has remained clear: medically grounded treatments, consistent protocols, experienced providers, and a patient experience built on transparency and trust.
Below are ten key reasons patients choose and stay with Seaport Medspa.
1. Four Locations, One Consistent Experience
Seaport Medspa operates four locations in South Boston, North End, Drydock/Seaport, and Brookline, all founded by Nurse Practitioners Marielle Benayun and Elizabeth O’Neil. Each space has its own layout and neighborhood, but the clinical standards, products, devices, and protocols are aligned across the entire practice.
Providers rotate between locations, which helps keep the experience consistent, whether a patient is booking near home, near the office, or at a different site for convenience.
What this means for patients:
The same products, devices, and protocols are used at every location
Providers follow unified dosing and assessment standards
Rotating providers help ensure consistency across the entire practice
Patients can move between locations without compromising their experience

2. Eleven Aesthetic Providers with Strong Clinical Foundations
Seaport Medspa’s aesthetic providers include co-founders Marielle and Elizabeth, a team of Aesthetic RNs, and a Licensed Esthetician. Together, they form a group that blends hospital backgrounds, critical care experience, research-driven training, and years in aesthetics. The emphasis is on anatomy, safety, and medically sound treatment planning, not trends.

Why this matters for patients:
Multiple providers with strong clinical backgrounds
Standardized training and internal mentorship
Consistency across locations, even if patients see different providers
A mix of injectors and an esthetician for full-spectrum skin and injectable treatment plans
3. Over 40,000 Patient Visits Since October 2018
Crossing the 40,000-visit mark is more than a milestone, it reflects experience. It means the team has seen a wide range of facial structures, skin types, treatment goals, and responses to different modalities. That volume of real-world feedback helps refine protocols and improve outcomes over time.
What this represents:
A large body of before-and-after treatment experience
Long-term relationships with patients who return regularly
Practical understanding of how results evolve over months and years
A feedback loop that constantly improves technique and planning
4. A Broad, Customizable Treatment Menu Without a One-Size-Fits-All Mindset
Seaport Medspa offers over 100 treatments, but the focus is never on “selling the menu.” Instead, providers use the breadth of options to build customized, layered plans based on anatomy, skin quality, and a patient’s comfort level with change and downtime.
Injectables can be used to soften movement or restore structure; collagen-stimulating treatments can support firmness and texture; device-based options can refine pigment and skin quality; and clinical facials and skincare help maintain those results over time. The value is not in a long list of services, but in how they are sequenced and combined.
What patients gain from this approach:
A plan that fits their goals, timeline, and tolerance for downtime
The ability to start conservatively and build over time
Multi-modal strategies for structure, texture, tone, and prevention
A menu that supports both first-time and advanced patients without feeling overwhelming
5. Hundreds of Five-Star Google Reviews
With hundreds of five-star Google reviews, Seaport Medspa is one of the highest-rated medspas in the region. Patients consistently mention feeling informed, not rushed, and not pressured into treatments. They also highlight the natural, balanced quality of their results and the consistency they experience between locations and providers.
Common themes in reviews:
“Everything was explained clearly, step by step.”
“I never feel pushed into booking more than I’m comfortable with.”
“The results look like me, just more refreshed and even.”
“Every provider I’ve seen has been consistent in their approach.”
Why this matters:
Public, third-party feedback confirms internal standards
Patterns in reviews reflect reliability, not one-off experiences
New patients can get a realistic sense of what to expect before they book
6. Top 1% Galderma Provider Nationwide
Seaport Medspa is recognized as a Top 1% Galderma provider nationwide, which speaks to its experience using Dysport, Restylane fillers, and Sculptra. This level of recognition reflects both volume and outcomes, meaning the practice has extensive hands-on experience with these products across hundreds of faces and treatment plans.
What this signals to patients:
Extensive injector experience with Galderma’s portfolio
Comfort with advanced techniques and full-face planning
Access to higher-level training, insights, and support from Galderma
Greater predictability in how treatments are planned and performed
7. Only Authentic, Direct-From-Manufacturer Products and Devices
All injectables, devices, and medical-grade products at Seaport Medspa are purchased directly from manufacturers or authorized distributors—never from third-party resellers. This is a strict standard meant to protect patient safety and ensure that every product used is authentic, properly handled, and used within labeled guidelines.
Seaport MedSpa
Why this is important:
Eliminates the risk of counterfeit or diverted products
Ensures proper storage, shipping, and handling
Maintains consistent potency and performance
Aligns with FDA-cleared use and safety standards
For patients, this translates to:
Confidence in what is being used in every syringe and device
Consistent, reproducible results over time
A practice that treats supply chain integrity as non-negotiable
8. One of the Top Morpheus8 Providers in the U.S.
Morpheus8—an RF microneedling device used for tightening, texture, and overall skin quality—requires an understanding of settings, depth, and energy delivery to be both effective and safe. As one of the top Morpheus8 providers in the U.S., Seaport Medspa has performed a large number of these treatments, which refines everything from numbing protocols to post-treatment care instructions.
Why Morpheus8 experience matters:
Better understanding of how different skin types respond
Fine-tuned settings that balance results with comfort and downtime
Ability to customize treatment intensity by area (cheeks vs. neck, for example)
More predictable improvement in texture, fine lines, and firmness over time
9. 100+ Advanced Trainings and Certifications
The team has completed 100+ advanced trainings and certifications through leading educational programs and industry partners. This includes injectables, laser platforms, skin health, and anatomy-focused cadaver labs.
Training and education partners include:
Allergan Medical Institute (AMI)
Crown Aesthetics Advanced Microneedling Training
Dr. Zein Obagi / ZO Skin Health
National conferences and workshops
Cadaver-based anatomy courses
What this means for patients:
Providers stay current on evolving best practices
Techniques are grounded in anatomy and evidence, not trends
Internal training ensures consistency between team members
Complex cases can be approached with a deeper clinical toolkit
10. The Seaport Medspa Method
Underpinning everything is the Seaport Medspa Method—the practice’s internal framework for how consultations, recommendations, and treatments are structured. It focuses on education, anatomy-guided planning, conservative dosing, and long-term thinking rather than quick, one-time fixes.
Core elements of the Seaport Medspa Method:
Education first: patients are walked through options and trade-offs before deciding
Anatomy-led planning: treatment choices are based on structure, not trends
Conservative dosing: the preference is to under-correct slightly rather than overdo it
Phased planning: treatments are often staged in logical steps rather than all at once
Consistency: providers follow shared protocols so patients have a cohesive experience across all locations
This method is designed to create a setting where patients feel informed, not rushed, and where results build thoughtfully over time.
