Maureen Furlong, MSNA, CRNA, APRN
Hi, I'm Maureen, the owner and lead provider at MOTOX skin science.
I’m a board certified registered nurse anesthesiologist with 20+ years in patient care. My path started on a medical-surgical floor in Burlington, Vermont, then moved into Boston’s cardiac ICUs at St. Elizabeth’s and Beth Israel Deaconess, all places that taught me how calm, precise care changes outcomes. In 2011, after earning my Masters Degree in Nurse Anesthesia from the University of New England, I began providing anesthesia for a wide range of surgeries across the Portland, Maine area.
Why I work with Aesthetics
On medical missions to Ecuador and Uganda, I saw how restoring someone’s sense of self can change the way they move through the world. That experience, combined with my love of meticulous, quality care & technique drew me to medical aesthetics, where small, thoughtful choices make a big difference in confidence and quality of life.
How I care for you
At MOTOX, I bring operating room level safety and precision to injectables and skin rejuvenation plans.
Since 2020, I’ve completed extensive aesthetic training (including Beautiphi Academy) and I stay current, so your treatment is safe, conservative, and effective. My goal for you is natural-looking, never overdone. I listen first, map your goals to your unique anatomy, and build step-by-step plans so you always feel informed and in control.
What you can expect
You’ll be heard, never rushed, and treated with the same diligence I bring to the operating room. My goal is simple: results that look like you, refreshed, confident, and cared for. I’m here to guide you, when you’re ready, to make beautiful choices.
Education: MSNA, University of New England (2011); BSN, University of Vermont (2005).
Leadership: President, Maine Association of Nurse Anesthesiology; former coordinator for Student Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists at Mercy Hospital (Portland, ME).

How I Care for You
I am skilled in Botox, dermal fillers, advanced laser treatments, and radiofrequency microneedling, and I bring the same focus on safety, precision, and artistry to every treatment.
