Medical spas in Portland, ME

Two. In November 2026 we searched Google Maps in Portland, Maine, first for "med spa", "medical spa", "botox" and "aesthetics clinic", then for terms such as "medical aesthetics", "lip filler", "laser hair removal" and "aesthetic nurse injector". Each address was checked against U.S. Census Bureau city limits, and each practice's own website was read for a named clinician (a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or registered nurse) or a stated medical oversight. Esthetician-only studios, massage and waxing businesses, a closed practice and a broken website were left out, and each listing also needed a reviewed Google Maps photo of the practice. Rytualist Aesthetics Bar holds a 5.0 rating and Bevara Med Spa a 4.9. Nobody paid to be listed, and inclusion is not an endorsement.

Both are in the Old Port, as Google labels the area. Rytualist Aesthetics Bar is in Suite 103 at 75 Market Street, and Bevara Med Spa is in Suite 108 at 1 Portland Square. With both in the same part of the city, the choice comes down to services, hours and who treats you; each profile below has the phone number and booking details.

Both list Saturday hours: Rytualist Aesthetics Bar from 10:15 AM to 1:15 PM and Bevara Med Spa from 9 AM to 5 PM. Neither lists Sunday hours. For evenings, Bevara is open until 7 PM on Wednesday and Thursday, and Rytualist until 7 PM on Thursday, when it opens at 3 PM. Rytualist keeps shorter days than Bevara: it is closed on Monday, opens at noon on Tuesday and closes at 3 PM on Wednesday and Friday. Hours change, so call before you plan around them.

Maine's Board of Licensure in Medicine, Board of Osteopathic Licensure and State Board of Nursing adopted a joint rule for medical spas and medical aesthetic businesses, Chapter 15, which took effect on July 14, 2026. It treats neurotoxin treatment and dermal fillers as health care services. Only physicians, physician associates and advanced practice registered nurses with prescriptive authority can evaluate the patient, make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment, and they cannot delegate that to anyone without prescriptive authority, including a registered nurse. Maine's nursing law lets a registered nurse administer medications and treatment as prescribed by a legally authorized individual. The rule bars licensees from handing the administration of medications to unlicensed staff, says a course certificate is not a license, and says being a spa's owner or medical director does not by itself create the relationship with a patient that must exist before an aesthetic treatment is prescribed. Estheticians are not among the licensees the rule names, and Maine's definition of aesthetics does not include the treatment of any dermatological condition.

Ask for the full name and license type of the person treating you, then search the State of Maine's ALMS online license search. The Board of Licensure in Medicine sends the public there to check a license or any discipline, and the State Board of Nursing links it as its license verification. It shows a licensee's current status and any license or disciplinary actions. Medical doctors and physician associates are licensed by the Board of Licensure in Medicine, osteopathic physicians by the Board of Osteopathic Licensure, which keeps a similar database, and nurses, including nurse practitioners, by the State Board of Nursing. A nurse treating you in Maine must hold an active Maine license or an active multistate license from a nurse compact state. To complain, contact the board that licenses the person. The medicine board takes complaints in writing, online or by letter; the osteopathic board takes its complaint form electronically or by mail, or a letter; and the nursing board takes its online form or a detailed letter, but not anonymous complaints.
