Julie Curcio, NP

(formerly Julie Grondin, NP)

With a strong foundation in nursing and more than 8 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, I believe that the best aesthetic results begin with understanding the person behind the treatment.

I earned my undergraduate nursing degree from American International College, followed by a Master’s in Nursing Education and my Nurse Practitioner degree from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS University). My nursing experience spans inpatient care, outpatient primary care, geriatrics, and pediatrics, giving me a well-rounded clinical perspective and a deep appreciation for individualized patient care.

My approach to aesthetics is centered on building genuine relationships and following each patient throughout their aesthetic journey. I take the time to listen to your goals, understand your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to enhance your natural features while maintaining balanced, natural-looking results.

Aesthetic medicine is an ever-evolving field, and I make continued education a priority. I stay current with advances in treatments, techniques, products, and safety so that I can provide my patients with thoughtful, evidence-informed care.

I truly enjoy helping people feel confident and good about themselves. Whether we're addressing a specific concern or developing a long-term plan, I love being an active part of my patients' skin-care and aesthetic journeys. My goal is not to change who you are, but to help you look and feel like the best, most confident version of yourself.
