Bellatrix Med Spa

Beauty...Made Personal

The staff at Bellatrix Med Spa has a singular goal in mind. To make each client feel relaxed, comfortable, and completely satisfied—each and every time they walk through the doors of their Westwood spa.

Bart DeGregorio, MD, and his business partner, Denise Patriaco have managed to do just that. Located at 90 Center Avenue, the spa is warm and inviting. When a client arrives, they are warmly greeted by Carol Longobardo, the Spa Coordinator. “Everything we do is based on a personal relationship,” says Carol. “You aren’t a number here.”

The spa offers skincare, aesthetic, and cosmetic services such as Botox, injectable fillers, facials, hydrafacials, microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, waxing, brows, and lashes. From opening day two years ago, Dr. DeGregario’s goal was to make clients feel at ease by treating them in a spa-like environment rather than a clinical one. Warm grays, beiges and rose tones accented with attractive antique furnishings set a warm and comfortable stage at the spa. Appointments are intentionally scheduled to avoid delays and long waits. “No one waits here for more than 5 minutes,” says Denise. Because appointments are scheduled purposefully, the staff has the ability to take the time to get to know their client by taking their medical history and understanding the short- and long-term goals of each individual.

Botox and filler treatments are uncomfortable. The word, “injectable” is bound to put some people on edge. However, the staff at Bellatrix prioritizes making people feel as comfortable as possible, fielding any questions and explaining the process while educating clients on each modality. “We always let people know what their options are and we offer a money-back guarantee. We stand behind our work,” says Denise. “Actually, we want you to leave feeling that it was money well spent for an amazing experience.”

The team infuses a spa-like experience in every treatment. Denise says that when clients come in for hydrafacials, which are medical in nature, they miss that pampering aspect of regular facials. “We bridge that gap by adding a few bonus features, such as a relaxing mask, massage, and light therapy, to enhance that spa-like zen. People leave feeling like they’ve been on vacation for an hour!”

Bellatrix and its staff receive rave reviews from their clients who love the relaxing elements infused into every treatment. Client Susan Gallo says, “Bellatrix is absolutely a 5-star experience. They made me feel so comfortable and explained what to expect every step of the way. Denise’s level of professionalism is off the charts. I loved it the minute I walked in!” “I treat people the way I’d want to be treated,” says Denise. Each person should feel beautiful—we just enhance the beauty they already have!” @bellatrix_injectables
