The Guide: Med Spas in Long Branch, Oceanport and Monmouth Beach, NJ
In New Jersey, putting a needle of Botox or filler into someone’s face is a medical act, not a beauty service. The State Board of Cosmetology’s own rules say so in as many words: a licensed skin care specialist may not perform “laser hair removal and injections of Botox®, Restylane® or other similar medications for purposes of skin enhancement” (N.J.A.C. 13:28-2.15). Those treatments belong to physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, and registered nurses working under a physician’s written order.
Almost no local guide tells you which of those licences the person holding the needle actually holds. Search for a med spa in Long Branch, Oceanport or Monmouth Beach and you will find a dozen businesses described as “medically supervised” or “physician-led” — phrases that cost nothing to write and carry no information at all. This guide names the provider each business puts forward, and reports what the New Jersey licence register says about that person, on the date we checked. Where a business names nobody, the guide says that too.
How We Selected These Med Spas
This guide covers Long Branch, West Long Branch, Oceanport, Deal, Oakhurst, Eatontown, Monmouth Beach, Rumson, Little Silver, Fair Haven and Red Bank.
Every business on this page provides medical aesthetic treatments — injectables, energy-based devices such as lasers and radiofrequency microneedling, or medical-grade skin treatments — delivered under a licensed medical provider. That is the test, and it is the only route onto this page. It is a description of what a business does, not a verdict on how well it does it.
Businesses that offer medical-grade skin care without a medical provider are not excluded and not hidden. They are real options for real problems, and they appear in their own section at the end, labelled for what they are.
Businesses are listed alphabetically. Thirteen businesses meet the test along this stretch of the Monmouth coast, which makes it the largest med spa market in this guide series by some distance.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Businesses appear here because they meet the criterion described above — they provide medical aesthetic treatments under a licensed medical provider in the towns this guide covers. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No business can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Businesses are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was checked against each business’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee record in September 2026.
Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Nothing on this page is medical advice. Every treatment described here carries risks that depend on your own health and history, and the person to discuss them with is a licensed provider who has examined you.
The information here is general information about how med spa care works in New Jersey. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a consultation with a licensed provider. Talk to one about which treatments are right for you.

How to Read the Licence Column
The fourth column is the one no directory carries, so it is worth thirty seconds of explanation.
New Jersey licenses individual people, not businesses. Every physician, physician assistant, advanced practice nurse, registered nurse and skin care specialist in the state holds a licence in their own name, with a number, a status and a town of record, and anyone can look it up in about ninety seconds at the Division of Consumer Affairs licence verification site. We looked up every provider named by every business in this guide. The column reports what came back.
The licence types you will see here, and what each one means for what that person may do:
- Medical Doctor and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine — a physician. Full authority to perform, supervise and delegate med spa treatments.
- Physician Assistant — may inject and treat when directed or delegated by a supervising physician (N.J.S.A. 45:9-27.16).
- Advanced Practice Nurse — New Jersey’s licence for what most people call a nurse practitioner. May evaluate patients, plan treatment and carry out most med spa procedures under a collaborative agreement with a physician.
- Registered Nurse — may administer injections under a physician’s or advanced practice nurse’s written order and protocol. An RN works by delegation rather than independent authority. This is entirely normal in a med spa and is how a great many excellent injectors practise.
- Skin Care Specialist — New Jersey’s licence for an esthetician. Facials, peels and skin care, and by rule not injections or laser hair removal.
Two things this column does not do.
First, it does not report national board certification. Titles such as NP, FNP-BC, PA-C and MSN are awarded by national boards and academic institutions, and they are separate from a New Jersey state licence. A provider can hold one and not the other. This column reports the state register and nothing else, so where a business advertises a title that does not correspond to a New Jersey licence of that kind, the column simply shows the licence the register does hold for that person. That is a statement about a public record on a date — not a statement about anybody’s competence, and not a suggestion that anything is wrong.
Second, it does not guess. A licence number is printed only where exactly one record in the state matches the name the business publishes. Where two people share a name and we cannot tell which is which, the column shows the licence type and status without a number. Where a business names no provider at all on its own website, the column says so — and that is a fact about a website, not about a business.
If your business is on this page and the cell next to your name is thinner than it should be, that is a correction we want. The address for it is at the bottom of this guide.
The Med Spas
BE Mind Body Skin
1806 NJ-35 Ste 112, Oakhurst, NJ 07755
Treatments performed by Dr. Kavita Beri, MD
Physician-led and skin-science oriented, with radiofrequency microneedling and stretch mark work alongside the usual neuromodulator and hyaluronic filler menu. The stretch mark focus is unusual and worth knowing about — it is a problem most practices decline rather than treat.
CMXI Med Bar
16 Laird St, Pier Village, Long Branch, NJ 07740
Treatments performed by nurse injectors under a single medical director across the group. Angela Roque, RN, at the Long Branch bar
A multi-location Monmouth County brand — Pier Village, The Fort, Middletown, Wave Resort and Bungalow — run as med bars rather than clinics, with one medical director overseeing the group and nurses delivering treatment. IV hydration, wellness drips and recovery are the core of it.
cmximedbar.com
Gentle Glow Medspa
440 NJ-34, Colts Neck, NJ 07722
Treatments performed by Siarhei Labkovich, RN
Inland from the shore towns and quieter for it, with a straightforward menu of aesthetic skin treatments and injectables. Worth the short drive if what you want is an appointment that starts on time.
gentleglowmedspa.com
LEV Lounge
36 Beach Rd Ste 1, Monmouth Beach, NJ 07750
Aesthetic medical provider Jesse Pannell, PA-C; medical director Dr. Anthony Lombardi, MD, FACS; practice manager Lauren Decker, RN, BSN
One of the very few practices in this guide that publishes its entire clinical team — provider, medical director, practice manager and aesthetician, each named with their credential. That is not a small thing: it is exactly the information this guide exists to surface, and LEV had already done it. HydraFacials, Sculptra, neuromodulators and IV infusions.
levlounge.com
Love Yourself Aesthetics & Lifestyle
310 NJ-36, Studio 16, West Long Branch, NJ 07764
Treatments performed by Margo Pucciarelli, PA-C
Inside the Sola studios building on Route 36, and physician-assistant led, which puts the licence a step above what the setting suggests. Botox, dermal and biostimulatory fillers and PDO threads — a lifting-focused menu rather than a volumising one.
loveyourselfnj.com
MAISON ÉLAN Aesthetics & Wellness
310 NJ-36, Studio 33, West Long Branch, NJ 07764
Treatments performed by Aimee Altes, APN
Newer than most of this roster and advanced-practice-nurse led, meaning assessment, prescription and treatment all sit with the same person. Injectables and aesthetic skin treatments, at boutique scale.
maisonelanaesthetics.com
Medispa By the Shore
285 Parker Rd, Eatontown, NJ 07724
Treatments performed by Merryl Kolb, APN
Laser-forward: Candela hair removal and Genesis for texture and redness, with medical peels alongside. Merryl Kolb holds an active advanced practice nurse licence in New Jersey — a credential the business does not put on its own front page, and one that changes what the practice is allowed to do.
medispabytheshore.com
Nuage9 Aesthetics
10 NJ-36, Unit 9 Studio 3, West Long Branch, NJ 07764
Treatments performed by Sarah Padula, FNP-BC, APN
Small, advanced-practice-nurse led, and consistently well reviewed for a natural hand with injectables. The kind of practice people find by recommendation rather than by search, which is precisely why it belongs in a guide like this.
nuage9aesthetics.com
Pretty Shots Aesthetics
608 Ocean Ave N, Long Branch, NJ 07740
Treatments performed by Renee Massry, RN
Owner-operated and nurse-injector run, on Ocean Avenue. Sciton BBL HEROic and SkinTyte handle pigment and laxity, with clinical weight management running alongside the aesthetic side rather than bolted onto it.
prettyshotsnj.com
Radiant by MD
25 Kilmer Dr Ste 211, Morganville, NJ 07751
Treatments performed by Dr. Jessica Kondraciuk, MD and Dr. Stephanie Hanhan, MD
Two physicians, both licensed and active in New Jersey, both injecting. That is a rarer arrangement than it sounds and it is the reason to make the drive inland — the consultation and the treatment are with a doctor, start to finish.
radiantbymd.com
Studio VIP Aesthetics
235 Morris Ave, Long Branch, NJ 07740
No individual provider is named on their site
Named in Google’s own answer for this town, which is how it came onto this page. The public listing does not identify who performs treatments, so the licence column stays open until it does — that is a statement about a website and nothing more.
Synergy Wellness and MediSpa
700 Oceanport Ave Suite 708, Oceanport, NJ 07757
Treatments performed by Danielle F. D’Alessio, PA-C
The heaviest device list on the coast: CO2 laser resurfacing, CoolSculpting Elite and PDO threads, run by a physician assistant who came to aesthetics out of emergency medicine. If the treatment you are considering has genuine downtime, this is a practice that does those routinely.
synergywellnessmedispa.com
VIO Med Spa
180 Shrewsbury Plaza, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702
Treatments performed by Suzanne Moore
The largest review history in this market by a wide margin and a full-service menu to match — injectables, lasers and body treatments under one roof, on a franchise model that keeps the protocols consistent. More than one licence record in the state matches the name published here, so no number is printed against it.

Medical-Grade Skin Care Without Injectables
This one is not a medical spa and does not present itself as such. It offers skin care rather than injectables, which is a different licence with a different scope. For a great many skin concerns it is the right room to be in.

A skin care studio in the same Route 36 building as two of the med spas above, offering facials and skin treatments rather than injectables. Included so the picture of what is available in that building is complete.

Elsewhere in New Jersey
This guide covers the Monmouth coast and nothing else — the practices above are not a realistic drive from central or western New Jersey, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Garden State Circle builds these guides the same way in three other markets: the Bridgewater and Somerville guide, the Somerset Hills guide for Basking Ridge, Bernardsville and Warren, and the Clinton, Flemington and Whitehouse Station guide for Hunterdon County. The licence column works the same way in each.
What People Actually Ask Before Booking
These are the questions that decide where people go, and the ones almost nothing published locally answers. What follows is about how med spa care works in New Jersey generally. It is not about any one business on this page.
Who is actually allowed to inject me in New Jersey?
Injectables are prescription medications, so administering them is a medical service. In practice that means one of four people: a physician (MD or DO), a physician assistant working under a supervising physician’s direction, an advanced practice nurse under a collaborative agreement with a physician, or a registered nurse injecting under a physician’s or APN’s written order and protocol.
An esthetician may not. New Jersey’s cosmetology rules place “laser hair removal and injections of Botox®, Restylane® or other similar medications” outside what a skin care specialist licence permits (N.J.A.C. 13:28-2.15). That is not a grey area, and it is not a comment on anyone’s training or talent — it is the licence.
An RN injector is not a lesser option. Some of the most experienced injectors in the Monmouth coast are registered nurses who have done many thousands of treatments. What matters is that a physician stands behind the protocol and is genuinely reachable, which leads to the next question.
What should a first consultation actually include?
Before a prescription treatment, New Jersey expects a real evaluation: a medical history, an examination, a diagnosis and a discussion of the treatment plan, documented in your record (N.J.A.C. 13:35-7.1A). This is often called the good faith exam. It can be performed by the prescriber or by a professional in collaborative practice with them.
What that looks like in a good consultation: someone asks what medications and supplements you take, whether you have had injectables before and what was used, what you are actually trying to change, and what you want to avoid looking like. You should leave knowing which product is going in, roughly how much of it, what the total will be, and what happens if you do not like the result.
What it should not include is a decision made today. A consultation that ends with a syringe already drawn up and a discount that expires this afternoon is a sales process, not a medical one. You are allowed to leave and think about it. Good practices expect you to.
How does pricing usually work, and what does “starting at” hide?
Neuromodulators — Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify — are normally priced per unit, and the number of units is what decides your bill. Fillers are normally priced per syringe. Energy treatments such as lasers and radiofrequency microneedling are priced per session or as a package, and almost always need a series rather than one visit.
This is why a “starting at” price tells you very little. Two practices can quote the same per-unit price and produce bills that differ by half, because one of them uses more units. The question that gets you a real number is: how many units do you think I need, and what is the total? A practice that will not answer that before you are in the chair is telling you something.
Unit counts are not comparable across brands either. Dysport is dosed in different units from Botox, so “nine dollars a unit” at one place and “four dollars a unit” at another can be the same treatment at the same price.
And at the other end: unusually cheap injectables are a safety question, not a bargain. Product bought outside legitimate distribution is a real problem in this industry. It is entirely reasonable to ask to see the box.
What aftercare should I expect, and what happens if something goes wrong?
You should leave with written aftercare instructions and a way to reach a human after hours — not a general voicemail, but a number that reaches someone who can make a clinical decision. Ask for it before you book rather than afterwards.
Two things are worth knowing because they lower the stakes considerably. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. Juvederm, Restylane and their relatives can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, and any practice injecting them should keep it on the premises. Ask whether they do. Neuromodulator results are temporary. Botox and its equivalents wear off over roughly three to four months, so even a result you dislike is not permanent.
The genuine emergency in this field is a vascular occlusion — filler entering or compressing a blood vessel. It is rare, it is treatable, and treatment is urgent. The warning signs are severe or increasing pain, skin that turns white or dusky, or any change in vision. If that happens you call the practice immediately, and it is exactly why the after-hours number and the hyaluronidase on the shelf matter more than anything on the price list.
What are the red flags?
- Nobody will tell you who is treating you. The name and the licence should be easy to get and freely given.
- No medical history is taken, or it is a clipboard nobody reads.
- Pressure to decide today — expiring discounts, a package sold before the treatment, a syringe drawn before you have agreed to anything.
- Deep discounting on injectables. Group-deal pricing on a prescription medication is a question about the product, the volume, or both.
- No written aftercare and no after-hours contact.
- Before-and-after photos that do not share lighting, angle or subject, and none that resemble your skin or your concern.
- An esthetician offering injections or laser hair removal. Whatever else is true, that one is a rules problem.
None of these is a judgment about anyone on this page. They are the questions to take with you.

Something Out of Date?
This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a name, an address, a licence, a provider who has joined or left, or whether a business has closed — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly, and a business whose provider we have recorded as unnamed or unmatched is exactly the kind of correction we want. Send the name as it appears on the licence and we will look it up the same way we looked up everyone else.
