How Elite Aesthetics Was Built

Mariesa’s path—from first assist in plastic surgery to head nurse in a leading cosmetic dermatology practice, and eventually a provider in several Manhattan med spas—shaped the high-caliber injectable practice known today as Elite Aesthetics. She believes her deep knowledge of invasive surgical techniques, paired with her expertise in dermatologic treatments, has allowed her to refine and perfect the art of injectables.

Meet the Owner A Word from Mariesa

Aesthetic medicine is my passion. I have a passion for making things effortlessly beautiful. I expect the best in all aspects of my life so naturally my practice is no different. There is something sacred about wanting to enhance your appearance and who you trust to go on that journey with. I wanted to create a safe and inviting space to do so.

Where people just know that from the very first interaction, they are in the best of hands. Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, I’ve gained the confidence in myself and validation that this is what I’m meant to do, and I want to show others that it’s possible for you too—to look and feel like whatever you choose. I want to help people get one step closer to the best version of themselves.

Chelsea is the best! She was so nice, and her advice was great. I just got my very first Botox treatment, and I can’t wait to see the results! The place is super clean and cute, and the service was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

I had the most amazing experience with Mariesa today at the studio!

She took such great care of me and made me feel so special from start to finish. Her recommendations were thoughtful and spot on.

My skin feels refreshed (a little pink, but that’s to be expected!), and I’m excited to see the results. Mariesa is truly a gem—so grateful to have found her!

Olivia has also been so kind and helpful throughout this process, everything has truly been so easy an...

Camille has completely changed my confidence with her skin care knowledge and skills. She always gives me incredible recommendations and isn’t just about selling products. I have done lasers, micro needling, HydraFacials, etc. with her and she is truly top tier. She’s the most professional and makes sure to answer all of my questions. Camille makes me feel like I am her only client when I’m in her chair because I get her full attention and I am never rushed. She’s trul...

I’m so grateful to have found Chelsea! She has made me feel comfortable every step of the way for my wedding skin prep. She helped me to create a 6 month calendar and skincare routine leading up to my wedding and has answered every single question I have to make me feel at ease. I have no doubt my skin is wedding ready. Thank you so much, Chelsea and team!

This place is amazing! I recently switched here and was super happy with their intro price. Chelsea listened to my concerns and catered my treatment for my needs. She did such a great job my esthetician commented on how great I looked!

—Carly Peitzmeyer

Camille was absolutely great!! She provided excellent instruction, directing me through the entire procedure step-by-step and ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient and attentive, and I couldn't have asked for better care. I highly recommend and Camille in particular for the exceptional experience!

—Jennifer G
