A new medical spa has set up shop in Woodbury's Marketplace Shopping Center, bringing injectables, facials, laser treatments and GLP-1 weight-loss services to Jericho Turnpike under the direction of a nurse who spent her early career treating trauma patients in a hospital. JÜV Med Spa opened at 8063 Jericho Tpke., Suite 4, and marked the milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, October 22, attended by local politicians, clients and staff.

According to LI Press, the spa is directed by Carley Ferris, a registered nurse injector who began her career as a trauma care nurse working in a hospital before moving into aesthetics while living in California. Ferris told the outlet she came to Long Island to open JÜV after noticing the industry's growth over the prior five or 10 years, and that medical spa treatments have become a far more popular and normal topic of conversation. On its own site, JÜV Med Spa confirms it is now open in Woodbury and describes a full range of aesthetic and wellness offerings.

The Woodbury location's services span injectables, hydrating and custom facials, HydraFacial, laser skin rejuvenation and hair removal, non-invasive body contouring, IV therapy and a GLP-1 weight-loss management program, per the spa's website. The LI Press report adds that JÜV also provides microneedling, acne control, scar treatment and subtle beauty enhancements, along with treatment for people experiencing melasma and acne. Ferris said clients are mostly women, though the spa also provides laser hair removal to male clients, including bodybuilders and gym-goers, the outlet reported.

Medical Oversight and Staffing

JÜV is backed by dermatologist Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, who serves as the spa's medical director and is board-certified in dermatology and dermatopathology, according to the same LI Press report. Ferris said the practice hires medical providers with years of experience in dermatology, injection work or plastic surgery. “There is a medical side to the aesthetic space as well,” she said, per the outlet's reporting, adding that the spa focuses on aesthetics, art, science and the medical side of the business. Ferris also said aesthetic procedures require substantial schooling because they are, at their core, medical procedures.

JÜV's own site echoes that framing, stating that all treatments are performed by licensed medical professionals with advanced training in aesthetics, and that the spa offers complimentary, one-on-one consultations to help clients choose appropriate treatments, according to JÜV's locations page. A scheduled grand-opening event for the Woodbury shop, listed on Luma, included complimentary 15-minute aesthetic consultations, gift bags for the first 50 attendees, wellness shots and light bites from Toastique.

Local Officials Turn Out for the Ribbon-Cutting

The opening drew support from the Syosset Woodbury Jericho Chamber of Commerce, whose Instagram post credited Carley Ferris, Chetan Krishna, Samuel Bahreina and the rest of the JÜV team with getting the Woodbury location up and running. Nassau County and Town of Oyster Bay representatives also took part in the celebration, presenting citations to the business. The Chamber's Instagram post said, “Thank you to Chamber member Jared Behr on behalf of Nassau County Legislature member Arnold Drucker along with the office of Legislator Samantha A. Goetz and Richard LaMarca with the Town of Oyster Bay for presenting citations to JUV Med Spa.” Deborah Shamilov liked the Chamber's post.

Why a Med Spa Opening Now Makes Business Sense

JÜV's arrival lands amid a broader surge in demand for cosmetic and weight-loss treatments nationally. The American Med Spa Association reported that cosmetic surgical procedures rose 7% in 2025 compared with the year before, with neuromodulators accounting for half of all minimally invasive procedures and hyaluronic acid fillers making up another 30%. The same report found that 82% of ASPS member surgeons fielded consultations tied to GLP-1 use in 2025.

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs in particular have become a significant revenue driver for the medical spa industry. American Spa reported that 60% of U.S. medical spas offered GLP-1 treatments in 2024, compared with 35% of aesthetic physician offices, and that practices offering those treatments saw average revenue growth of 9%, versus a 2% decline at practices that did not. The outlet put the broader U.S. medical aesthetics industry's value at $17.5 billion, citing Guidepoint Qsight data.
