Here, you're going to sit down like you're in your physician's oce, and you're going to get an iPad to ll out your health history." en, you'll meet with a medical provider or aesthetician to discuss what goals you hope to achieve, and together you'll develop a treatment plan, tailored to your health, age, and desires. If the plan requires a physician's approval, it's sent to Boston area plastic surgeon Joseph Russo, MD, a partner with Novo Sano Med Spa, who has agreed to provide medical oversight when needed. Dr. Russo or one of his nurse practitioners will review your suggested treatment plan and either accept it, tweak it, or reject it. If the plan is approved, the Novo Sano Med Spa nurse can proceed immediately with whatever treatment was authorized. If the treatment requires no physician's authorization, like a chemical peel, an aestheti- cian or medical provider can provide the service. "No one is telling our nurses what treatments to sell," says Belmonte, who feels this is, in part, what sets his company apart from the competition. "Our nurses do not report to us. ey report to the physician (Dr. Russo) and deliver services based on the needs of the patient. ey're not driven by prots." What's more, Belmonte says, many medical spas see health regulations as a hindrance to doing business. "But in order to protect every guest who walks in the door, and make sure that the nurses who work for Dr. Russo's practice are protected legally in the event there was an adverse reaction, we run our business the way we do and abide by the regula- tions," says Belmonte. It's more costly, for sure, but it's the only way to set the gold standard in medical aesthetics. Novo Sano's new Rowley location is an airy white space with six treatment rooms.
