About Compass Beauty

What is Compass Beauty?

Compass Beauty is a nurse-owned aesthetic practice with locations in Newburyport and Quincy, Massachusetts, serving clients throughout the Boston area. It is mainly a mobile med spa: treatments are delivered in the client's home, office, or event space rather than in a waiting room. Two nurse practitioners, Ali FNP and Gwen NP, and two registered nurses, Kim RN, BSN and Sarah RN, BSN, CANS, make up the team. Alongside cosmetic injectables (it names Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport), IV therapy, wellness shots, skincare treatments and ear piercing, it offers Medical Weight Management, described as appetite control and weight loss support built around monthly check-ins, lifestyle coaching and an injection, though it does not name the medication used. It also lists an NAD+ injection among its wellness shots, which falls under longevity-style offerings even though the practice is not built around longevity medicine as a whole.

This listing is for its Newburyport office at 26 Parker Street.

What does it cost?

Compass Beauty does not publish prices for any of its services, including Medical Weight Management, on its site. It directs people to a separate pricing page for each category (injections, injectables, skin treatments, IV therapy) rather than listing numbers outright. The initial consultation is free, described as complimentary with no pressure to book. Ask directly what the monthly cost of Medical Weight Management includes, whether that figure covers the injection itself or just the check-ins and coaching, and whether it changes if your dose changes.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the two nurse practitioners, Ali or Gwen, would be writing and overseeing your prescription, since the two RNs on the team are not listed among the prescribers. Ask what medication the Medical Weight Management program actually uses, since it is not named anywhere public, and whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded version. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication or is billed separately, what a missed monthly check-in costs, and how to cancel if the program isn't working for you. Since appointments happen at your home or office rather than a clinic, it is also worth asking how lab work, if any is required, gets ordered and where you would go to get it drawn.

In its own words: "We specialize in aesthetic injectables, wellness shots, IV therapy, skincare treatments, ear piercing and medical weight management, all delivered with compassion and precision by licensed nurses you can trust."

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you would rather have aesthetic and wellness treatments, including a weight management program, come to you instead of sitting in a waiting room, and if you are comfortable having a nurse practitioner rather than a physician manage your prescription. It is less of a fit if you want published pricing up front or a program built specifically around physician-led longevity or hormone care, since those aren't what Compass Beauty centers its practice on.
