Nurse Practitioner

Greenwich Medical Spa is pleased to welcome Nurse Practitioner Koral Ben-Simon, RN, APRN, EMT-B, to our Greenwich and Westport locations. Koral earned a BSN from Binghamton University and an MSN from Emory University, then worked in the outpatient endocrinology setting for 2.5 years before moving into the aesthetics field. Before joining the GMS family, she spent a year with a national aesthetics brand, performing laser hair removal, CoolSculpting, CoolTone, Ultherapy and injectables.

Koral’s interest in aesthetics resulted from her personal insecurity with her appearance growing up and the realization that investing in herself on the outside allowed her to be more comfortable and confident on the inside. Some of her go-to transformative treatments for patients and herself include BOTOX, The Eraser and dermal fillers. It was professional exposure to the medical aesthetics field while earning her master’s degree that confirmed her desire to work in the industry, where she focuses on connecting with each patient to understand their goals and build a trusting relationship. Koral loves visiting her extended family in Israel and is involved in a wellness community with people from around the country, but she hails from Westchester, NY, and now that she has returned to the area, looks forward to volunteering at a local animal shelter.

My favorite treatment to perform at GMS is Botox. I love that Botox can be used as both a preventative and corrective treatment and love the smooth yet natural appearance that patients are left with. The Eraser is my favorite treatment to get. It helps to even out the texture of my skin and improve the appearance. My favorite treatment to see patients get is filler. I love to see the look on a patient’s face when they see their immediate transformation!
