What is Boston X?
Boston X is a medical aesthetics and spa practice in Dorchester's Adams Village, at 756 Adams St. in Boston. It is run by nurse practitioners, and its listed prescribers are Nicole Flaherty, NP (the founder) and Lauren Riley, NP. The bulk of its services are cosmetic: neurotoxins (Dysport, BOTOX Cosmetic, Jeuveau), Sculptra, fillers, SkinPen microneedling, Hydrafacials, PRP for under-eye and hair restoration, and IV hydration drips. Medical weight loss is one offering within that mix, built around semaglutide and tirzepatide with B12 injections. The weight loss program includes a medical consultation with a nurse practitioner, who reviews personal and family medical history, BMI, and weight loss goals before considering a patient for the program, plus injection training and check-ins every two weeks. This is a med spa with a weight loss program attached, not a weight loss clinic first.
What does it cost?
The weight loss consultation is listed at "starting at $400" for 30 minutes, with the program described as patient specific. It does not say what happens after that first visit, whether medication is billed separately, or what a typical month costs once someone is enrolled. B12 add on injections start at $25 for 15 minutes. For financing, Boston X offers payment plans through Cherry, which it describes in its own words: "Get treated now and pay over time with Cherry." Cherry involves a soft credit check and can qualify patients for amounts up to $10,000, with 0% APR financing available for those who qualify. CareCredit is also accepted.
What should you ask before you book?
Since the starting price covers only the consultation, ask what the ongoing monthly cost looks like once you're on semaglutide or tirzepatide, and whether that figure includes the medication itself or just the visit and injection training. Ask whether the medication is brand name or compounded, since the services page does not specify. Confirm which of the two nurse practitioners will be supervising your prescription and consultations, and what the biweekly check-ins cost beyond the initial price. It is also worth asking whether insurance is accepted in any form, since the only payment information given centers on cash pay and financing, and asking what the cancellation or refund policy looks like if you decide to stop the program partway through.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are already interested in a med spa for injectables, facials, or skin treatments and want weight loss medication handled by the same practice rather than a separate clinic. It may not be the fit if you are looking for a practice built primarily around metabolic or hormone care, since weight loss here sits alongside a longer menu of cosmetic services and the pricing structure for ongoing treatment is not spelled out.
