Nurse Blaney, RN, BSN, NP-C
Master Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner
Nurse Blaney has been a Nurse Practitioner for 9 years. She graduated in 2012 from the Mass General Institute of Health Professions. She came to us from pediatrics and before that she was an RN at a cardiac surgical floor at MGH.
Nurse Blaney was very interested in all things skin and after taking an aesthetic class, Nurse Blaney decided that aesthetics was the path for her. She started off part-time at Dream Spa Medical, but she loved it so much, she quickly transitioned to a full-time role. She enjoys knowing everyone’s name and building relationships with her patients. Nurse Blaney is a master at assessing a patient’s face, creating a customized treatment plan and delivering exceptional outcomes that align with the patient’s cosmetic goals.
Nurse Blaney believes that skincare is an integral part of overall anti-aging and skin vitality. The surface of a patient’s skin should be in a good place (by using consistent skincare and medical-grade products) in order for the patient to get the best results from their injectable treatments. Because of that, Nurse Blaney works closely with the Dream Spa Medical aestheticians on comprehensive treatment plans. BOTOX is something that everyone should be getting, but what you do at home is just as important as what you receive in the office. Her #1 tip for everyone is to wear sunscreen every single day.

It’s science, it’s art, it’s beauty, and the skin is at the foundation of it all.
