The future of healthcare is now, and a renewed focus on prevention is paving the way.
At the center of that shift are Marc Musni and Oscar Munoz, two pedigreed nurse practitioners who combined their expertise and passion to create Mana Wellness and Aesthetics in Denville—a multimodality, patient-first clinic rooted in progressive care.
“Patients are not a set of numbers here,” Musni explained. “We actually spend time with the patient and provide individualized, customized care.”
While their subspecialties differ—anesthesia for Munoz, critical care for Musni—their mission is the same: to provide evidence-based, individualized, patient-forward care. The pair originally met while working at the same hospital and recognized they shared a unified philosophy on delivering personalized healthcare. That shared vision ultimately led them into business together.
Mana Wellness & Aesthetics opened its doors a year and a half ago with the intention of putting the patient in the driver’s seat, implementing cutting-edge modalities to address not only symptoms but the body as a whole. Their services span the full spectrum of preventative and aesthetic medicine, offering treatments designed to reset, enhance, and optimize the body —including aesthetic services focused on facial rejuvenation.
Some of their state-of-the-art diagnostics include a 3-D body scan and metabolic testing that analyzes oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output through indirect calorimetry. They also utilize a 3-D facial analyzer called Aura, which—unlike surface-level assessments—uses advanced imaging technology to analyze hydration, pigmentation, pore size, fine lines, and UV damage beneath the skin’s surface.
Through rigorous testing, the team is able to gauge hormonal balance and cellular function, using NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to support and boost cellular energy performance.
On the hormonal front, they offer HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) to recalibrate hormonal levels in both women and men.
“Every treatment, whether it be an infusion or a full-blown hormonal support regimen, is tailored to the patient’s individual needs,” Musni explained.
Another cornerstone of the practice is their comprehensive medical weight loss program, utilizing more than just medications, supplements, or peptides to help patients reach their goals. These modalities are paired with proper diagnostic tools and collaboration with outside consultants, including nutritionists, physical therapists, and fitness trainers, to help patients achieve results more efficiently.
Peptides continue to rise in popularity—and for good reason.
In simple terms, peptides are chains of amino acids that signal the body to repair and regenerate. These therapies can boost metabolism, improve skin, hair, and nails, balance hormones, reduce muscle recovery time, and more.
Beyond their treatments, Musni and Munoz reflect on a growing distrust in traditional healthcare and the profit-driven insurance protocols that prioritize volume over individuality.
“Doctors may test, for example, testosterone levels in a range from 300–900,” Musni explained. “If the results are 301, which is still low, the insurance company may not allow the doctor to prescribe TRT and the patient is still symptomatic.”
The restraints insurance companies place on treatment protocols are exactly why the practice opts out of participating with network-based providers. Instead, they operate as an out-of-network practice, similar to boutique or concierge healthcare models.
“With the guardrails down, this allows us to practice with greater freedom,” Munoz said. “Health care is never one-size fits all.”
While preventative medicine remains the foundation, Mana is also leading the way in aesthetics.
“Once the patient feels good inside, they transition into aesthetics,” Munoz added. “Botox is the entry level into that.”
He also shed positive light on fillers, dismissing the social media buzz surrounding celebrities and botched procedures.
The clinic boasts a diagnostic aura scan that provides a 3D topographical map of the face to identify areas that could aesthetically benefit from treatment.
In addition to botox and fillers, the center offers facials and peels provided by an in-house aesthetician, Ashley, as well as an on-site nutritionist and a range of other services, including hair restoration.
Treatment modalities aside, patient accountability is a top priority, followed by the necessary lifestyle changes required for any modality to produce lasting results.
“Seventy percent of the work is what you do,” Munoz said. “Eating and sleeping well, movement—how many steps are you taking? Family dynamic. These all affect outcomes.”
In their downtime, Musni and Munoz are all in on family and fitness. It’s a balance that mirrors the philosophy behind Mana—wellness rooted not just in treatment, but in how you live, move, and show up for the people who matter. As they continue expanding their offerings and their footprint, their commitment remains the same: empowering every patient to take control of their health, inside and out.
