How Can I get Rid of Hyperpigmentation on my Face?

Posted on by

Dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and rosacea are among the most frustrating skin problems. Many over-the-counter products don’t fully combat them, and they’re difficult to cover up. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we have a variety of very effective treatments for your hyperpigmentation concerns.

*Individual results may vary.

Hyperpigmentation Treatments

Chemical peels have become refined since their 90s popularity. They’re phenomenal at reversing sun damage and hyperpigmentation. This highly customizable treatment resurfaces skin one layer at a time, triggering the body’s self-healing process and boosting collagen for overall improved skin tone and texture. The VI Peel is a proprietary formula developed specifically to treat hyperpigmentation safely and effectively across all skin types. The Phenol Peel is another option for fair-skinned patients, though it does have a more extensive recovery time.

Aerolase® laser treatments use powerful but gentle Light Pod Neo (1064nm) light energy in one of the quickest, most effective treatments on the market. Its pulses are delivered at one-billionth of a second to stimulate deep collagen production while the skin’s surface remains unharmed. Its results are particularly exceptional for hyperpigmentation, sun spots, rosacea, and is one of the only safe lasers for melasma.

Non-invasive IPL Photo Facial is perfect for hyperpigmentation. For a luminous complexion, your Manhattan Aesthetics practitioner uses the custom handpiece to deliver advanced IPL wavelengths to heat the dermis, causing expanded collagen production and constricted blood vessels. Entirely customizable, IPL Photo Facial can fight virtually any form of hyperpigmentation.

Am I a Good Candidate?

These treatments are effective for anyone suffering from sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and other hyperpigmentation issues. If melasma is your concern, Aerolase® is your best option. Schedule a consultation for more information.

What are Treatments Like?

Chemical peel treatments vary due to the depth of peel you choose, between 15-60 minutes. Aerolase® treatments are quick and completely pain-free, lasting approximately an hour. IPL Photo Facials take between 30-60 minutes, and while mostly pain-free, some tingling or mild discomfort is possible. We apply the cooling gel before the procedure, and a topical anesthetic is available for patients with sensitive skin.

Downtime and Results

Aerolase® and IPL Photo Facials have no downtime. Some IPL patients opt for social downtime while their skin heals. Chemical peels can be aggressive depending on the depth, with a 2-week recovery period. Some minor restrictions during post-treatment care for IPL and chemical peel treatments help minimize complications.

Visible results with a chemical peel are best seen 2-3 weeks following more superficial peels, and 1-3 months for deeper peels. Some patients require multiple peels to fully lighten hyperpigmentation.

Areolase® results depend on the treatment area, severity, and type of condition. For some, improvement is gradual as collagen is rebuilt and new skin cells form. Results with Aerolase® are long-term, peaking after 3-6 sessions. Touch-ups can help prevent future damage.

IPL Photo Facials also produce progressive results. Some pigmented lesions will darken and fall off while the body reabsorbs others over time. Often, patients see small improvements as early as 1 week, with peak improvement after 3-5 months. IPL can require a series of treatments.

Our skilled team at Manhattan Aesthetics believes strongly in providing our patients with the latest advancements in the cosmetics industry. Call today for more information.

Are There Non-surgical Methods of Reducing Excess Body Fat?

Posted on by
EmSculpt NEO®, Manhattan, & New York City

Liposuction used to be the only cosmetic adjustment for the removal of diet-resistant fat pockets and cellulite. Technology has come a long way, and Manhattan Aesthetics is proud to be the first clinic in the world to bring TruSculpt® ID to our patients, as well as serving the greater New York area with the SculpSure® procedure.

Sculpsure New York City

*Individual results may vary.

Body Fat Reduction Treatments

Non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction processes are where the science has most advanced in recent years in the cosmetic enhancement industry, and Manhattan Aesthetics has been on the cutting edge of this technology for years. We offer a variety of treatment options, two of which are SculpSure® and TruSculpt® ID, both FDA-approved and revolutionary.

SculpSure® targets unwanted fat pockets in a painless procedure utilizing laser energy to induce structural failure and cell death in fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Up to 24% of fat cells are compromised in just 25 minutes. The body filters out the dead cells in the 4-6 weeks following the procedure, leaving behind a slimmer, more sculpted shape.

TruSculpt® ID follows a similar principle with low-frequency monopolar radiofrequency energy targeting not just the fat cells but the entire adipose pad. The system analyzes each patient’s individual biology and adjusts to optimize the energy output, so fibrous tissue doesn’t interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness. It’s the first truly personalized fat reduction technology available, with several distinct advantages:

  • Largest applicators (3x larger than CoolSculpting)
  • Painless
  • Not BMI restrictive, safe for obese and morbidly obese patients
  • Tightens skin simultaneously by stimulating collagen production
  • 35% fat reduction possible

Am I a Good Candidate?

For SculpSure® patients, ideal candidates should be within 30 pounds of their target weight, whereas TruSculpt® ID does not carry BMI or weight restrictions, making it possible for almost anyone to qualify.

What are Fat Reduction Treatments Like?

SculpSure’s® 4-applicator system makes treatment quick, taking just 25-minutes. TruSculpt® ID’s 6 handpieces target areas 3x larger than CoolSculpting’s Cool Max applicators (equivalent to 12 SculpSure® applicators for are even shorter treatments, just 15 minutes. For both procedures, patients are extremely comfortable, experiencing mild heat while they read, use social media, or even nap.

Downtime and Results

Neither procedure has downtime, and the results are indisputable. SculpSure® reduces fat by 24% each time, and patients are satisfied after 1-2 treatments. Results peak after 4-6 weeks as the body filters out the dead fat cells. For TruSculpt® ID, 95% of patients require only a single treatment to achieve up to 35% fat reduction, with optimal results around 12 weeks. Because the fat cells are gone (not just shrunk as with weight loss), remaining fat cells are more evenly distributed, so future weight fluctuations do not typically result in the return of cellulite or fat pockets. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle to keep your new, shapelier contour will prolong results and satisfaction.

It’s important to have fat reduction performed by an experienced provider under the supervision of a board-certified physician to avoid undesirable outcomes that can lead to serious shape deformities. Highly respected industry leaders like our skilled team at Manhattan Aesthetics are specially trained in these cosmetic contouring procedures to ensure the most optimal outcome for you and your new silhouette.

How Can I Eliminate Dark Puffy Circles Around My Eyes?

Posted on by

No matter how much sleep you get, or how well-rested you feel, dark and puffy eye circles can make you look tired, overwhelmed, and not at the top of your game. Manhattan Aesthetics has a one-two punch treatment protocol to help you reduce those deceptive circles, so your appearance matches how you feel: ready to take on the world.

Chemical Peel New York City

*Individual results may vary.

VI Chemical Peels with ThermiSmooth® Treatments

The VI Peel is particularly suited to taking on those dark undereye circles. Minimally invasive, this treatment is virtually pain-free with no downtime, delivering surgical quality results without the surgery. VI Peel’s active ingredients, including TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and Vitamin C, are safe and effective for reversing signs of aging, such as dark circles. The VI Peel brightens skin and induces collagen production, lightening dark circles and firming puffy skin.

ThermiSmooth® picks up skin tightening where the VI Peel leaves off. This non-invasive treatment uses advanced radiofrequency technology to further stimulate collagen levels at a depth the VI Peel doesn’t reach. Collagen is the skin’s most prolific protein, providing structure and stability to the skin for youthful smoothness. Superficial tissues remain unharmed by RF wavelengths, and your body’s natural healing properties are spurred into action, even in the absence of micro-injuries some treatments can create. What you get is faster cellular turnover and prolonged collagen growth in even the delicate skin beneath your eyes.

Am I a Good Candidate?

If you’re unhappy with dark, puffy circles that no over-the-counter products can reduce, you may be a candidate for both the VI Peel and ThermiSmooth® treatments. Both procedures work well on most skin types and tones and are sensitive enough for the delicate tissues near your eyes. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, however, may not be eligible for these treatments.

VI Peel and ThermiSmooth® Treatments and Results

The VI Peel on its own is quick and easy, making it a favorite among our patients. The peel is applied in layers, and your Manhattan Aesthetics provider carefully monitors every step of the process for your comfort and safety. Treatment is quick, around 30 minutes from beginning to end. The result is a brighter, more even skin tone after just one visit, though some patients with persistent circles may require 2-3 treatments to be completely satisfied. Results reach their peak about 1 week after your last session.

ThermiSmooth® treatments are also quick, between 15-45 minutes. Most patients find it a soothing procedure, like a warm massage, and some even fall asleep. One session results in tighter skin under your eyes, with 4 treatments being optimal for the best results. Peak outcomes begin at the 3-month mark and last for up to 1 year.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, our team is proud of what we do and how we help our patients achieve remarkable results with VI Peels and ThermiSmooth® treatments. We carefully vet all our advanced treatments for the highest caliber of service to our patients. Many of our techniques are our own proprietary artistry while providing the highest standard of care in a luxurious environment. Stop using makeup to cover dark, puffy undereye circles, and let us help you treat the problem at its source.

Is Laser Hair Removal Really Permanent?

Posted on by
Getting rid of unwanted hair is no fun, no matter how you do it. Waxing, shaving, and other methods consume your time and money, and the hair keeps coming back. Put an end to hair growth with laser hair removal, an effective way to achieve smooth skin that lasts. Hair removal can be the last thing on your mind from now on.

It’s one of the most common questions surrounding laser hair removal treatments: is the hair gone for good? The answer is it depends on the individual and the laser used to treat them. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we use the latest laser technologies for the most comprehensive laser hair removal treatments possible.

Laser Hair Removal New York City

*Individual results may vary.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Hair exists in 3 stages: active growth, transition, and dormant. Laser hair removal works only on follicles in the active growth phase, which is the reason we recommend multiple treatments. As hair enters the active stage, we’re able to damage the follicle, creating a cumulative shedding effect the more treatments you have.

The type of hair determines the type of laser. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we use the most advanced cosmetic lasers available in New York: the Diode, Alexandrite, and YAG lasers. This means we cover Fitzpatrick skin tone classifications 1-6, which makes nearly everyone a possible candidate for laser hair removal in our clinic. The Alexandrite laser energy is more suited for lighter skin tones, while the YAG laser targets unwanted hair on darker or tanned skin. The Diode laser treats medium to olive skin tones.

Am I a Good Candidate?

The array of lasers we use makes it possible for us to treat unwanted hair on nearly anyone, so if you’re seeking laser hair removal, you may be a good candidate. Schedule a consultation to find out for sure.

What are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Like?

Patients often ask how painful laser hair removal is, and for some, it’s quite painful, like a rubber band snapping on the skin. For others, it’s barely irritating, a mere tingling sensation. We offer topical numbing cream upon request, then choose the appropriate laser type for your specific skin and hair types. The handpiece passes directly over the treatment area, damaging follicles at the root so they shed, leaving you with finer, less noticeable hair. Depending on the size or number of treatment areas, your procedure may be as quick as 10 minutes, or as long as an hour.

Downtime and Results

There’s no downtime to laser hair removal, but we do recommend aloe vera applications and copper moisturizers to pamper the treatment area for 1-2 hours after your session. Avoid sun and tanning bed exposure for 2 weeks before and after your treatments.

You can expect an 85% reduction in hair growth at the end of your treatments, and many patients require up to 6 sessions on the body or 8 for facial treatments. Some of our patients reach 99% hair reduction. Due to future hormone changes, it’s possible new follicles will grow, but we offer touch-up sessions as needed.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, all our procedures are performed by a board-certified physician or trained medical aesthetician supervised closely by our world-renowned medical director. Our skilled team is experts, and we’re passionate about new and innovative ways to enhance the beauty and treat the whole person, not just the body part. We’ve developed a reputation for being industry leaders and delivering real, measurable results, and we’d love to share that passion and expertise with you. Your satisfaction and comfort are our highest priorities for any treatment you seek.

Which Filler is Best for Lip Augmentation?

Posted on by
Lip Fillers, Manhattan & New York City

Lush lips are a sign of beauty that, unfortunately, time and age can take away from us. Thankfully, volume loss and fine lines and wrinkles are what JUVÉDERM is specifically designed to address. JUVÉDERM fillers have become the second-most common cosmetic enhancement treatment, behind only Botox® in popularity. But which one is specific to plumping lips and perfecting your pout?

Lip Augmentation New York City

JUVÉDERM Precision Gels

For lip enhancement that’s subtle, soft, and beautiful, Allergan has developed JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®, a finer, spreadable gel that delicately plumps the sensitive tissue around the mouth and smooths fine lines and wrinkles, so your lips become luscious once more.

It’s all in precision engineering. JUVÉDERM fillers are made up of different sizes of hyaluronic acid (HA) that are cross-linked together to bond them. The tighter the cross-linking, the more HA molecules there are by volume, creating a thicker gel. The more variant the size of the HA molecules, the more control expert injection specialists have over the gel’s behavior. Think of it like a net. The closer together the joins, the less give and stretch the net has. The opposite is also true, with fewer joins being more stretchy and malleable. These properties achieve a certain strength, thickness, and pliability which are considered for each gel in the whole line of JUVÉDERM fillers. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® has been engineered specifically to address thin lips and those unwanted “smokers” lines that give an impression of tired, pinched expressions and unhappiness.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Because hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body, our immune response doesn’t target it as a foreign material, which makes JUVÉDERM fillers better tolerated than other products on the market. If your lips are thin and you’d like a more refined, plump pout, or you have fine lines and wrinkles around your lips you’d love to smooth out, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® could be a great fit for you with very little complication.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® Treatments and Results

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® treatments are quick, and almost painless, thanks to the gel being infused with lidocaine to maximize patient comfort, even for the delicate tissues around your mouth. It takes less than an hour to achieve lush, kissable lips, and other than some redness and tenderness that resolves within hours, there’s zero downtime.

VOLBELLA’S® enhancements are immediate, allowing your Manhattan Aesthetics injection expert to shape and sculpt the gel correctly for an artistically pleasing result. Your lips will be fuller, and lines and wrinkles will fade away directly following treatment. After 7 days, your VOLBELLA® placement will be set, and any swelling or tenderness will subside. Your perfected lips will be soft and supple for up to 1 year.

The Manhattan Aesthetics Team has the honor of achieving Allergan’s Black Diamond Brilliant Distinction designation, bestowed only on the to 1% of the US’s most elite clinics because of our skill and artistry in JUVÉDERM injections. With such a versatile and specialized line of JUVÉDERM fillers, we’re able to fine-tune your treatments for a natural, beautiful result every time, whether you’re looking to restore volume in larger areas, like the cheeks, or need more delicate, understated correction in your lips. We have a JUVÉDERM product that’s right for you.

Is There a Non-Surgical Treatment for Neck Fat?

Posted on by
TruSculpt®, Sofwave™, Manhattan & New York City

One of the greatest thieves of self-confidence is submental fat or a double chin. Whether fluctuations in weight, genetics or a history of poor posture are responsible for this neck fat, we can all agree on one thing: we’d like it gone. But for many of us, surgery for something cosmetic seems overwhelming. Thankfully, Manhattan Aesthetics has a non-surgical treatment protocol aimed specifically at submental fullness.

Kybella New York City

How Kybella® Works

While liposuction may be an extremely effective method for restoring a sculpted jawline and neck, it’s a pretty invasive option. That’s why Kybella® was FDA-approved in 2015. It’s the first and only medication specifically designed to dissolve fat in the neck and chin region and is a fantastic solution for patients who aren’t ready for more invasive treatments. The active ingredient in Kybella® is called deoxycholic acid, a substance the body already produces to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, it works much the same, targeting fat cells that have melted or otherwise obscure the jawline. Because Kybella® works over a period of weeks, the change happens subtly, but before and after comparisons show quite dramatic results.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Healthy adults close to their ideal weight who experience the dreaded double chin are considered ideal for Kybella® treatments. With isolated pockets of fat below the chin and good skin elasticity, patients can experience all the benefits of Kybella®. After a thorough examination of your treatment area and discussion about medications you may be taking and your medical history, Manhattan Aesthetics will create a treatment plan specific to your needs and facial and neck structure. Your goals are important to us, and we’ll be happy to answer all your questions.

Kybella® Treatments and Outcomes

The beauty of Kybella® is that it’s minimally invasive. A series of injections are made after the application of a topical anesthetic for maximum comfort. Appointments take only 15-20 minutes, and soon, you’re free to resume your active lifestyle. While side effects are mild, such as swelling, numbness, or bruising in the treatment region, some patients may choose to take it easy a day or two after a Kybella® session, while others return to work the next day. These symptoms will typically be the strongest 20-28 hours after your treatment and subside within a few days. Treatment plans average of 3-6 treatments to reach the patient’s desired goals depending on the amount of submental fat being dissolved, but you shouldn’t have more than 6 treatments total.

Kybella’s® results are cumulative. Results aren’t instant because the body needs time to absorb the fat Kybella® dissolves, but visible improvement is typical 2 weeks after treatment. As time goes on and your sessions, scheduled 1 month apart, continue, improvement will progress. Optimal outcomes are often realized 2-3 months into treatment.

Injectable treatments are art, and Kybella® is no exception. Sculpting a new and improved jawline takes precision and expertise, and our Manhattan Aesthetics Team is at the forefront of the facial rejuvenation industry. People happy with their appearance walk taller, stand prouder and speak with more confidence, and we’re excited to be a part of that. Take back your profile and love your reflection again with Kybella®.

How Long Will My Botox® Results Last?

Posted on by
IPL Photo Facial New York City

Botox® has long been the anti-aging treatment of choice in the cosmetic enhancement industry. More than 7 million Botox® procedures were performed in the US in 2018, and that number will only continue to grow. The expert injection specialists at Manhattan Aesthetics are among the most talented and elite providers in the country, and it shows in our patient satisfaction and results.

Botox New York City

How Botox® Works

Unfortunately, age stops for no one. The more we smile, laugh, frown, and squint, the more our expressions contribute to wrinkles and lines on our forehead and around our eyes. Botox® has been the quintessential wrinkle eraser since 2002 when it was FDA approved. By blocking acetylcholine in the nerves that instruct muscle movement around your forehead and eyes, Botox® reverses repetitive skin wrinkling for a smoother, younger appearance. Botox® can also elevate the corners of your mouth, reduce upper and lower lip creases, enhance your upper lip for a “Botox® Lip Flip,” and even minimize marionette lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Some patients who feel their smile shows too much of their upper gum line can also have Botox® injections to keep their upper lip from rising too much for a more natural, less gummy smile.

Injectable Artistry at Its Finest

Allergan, Botox’s® maker, bestows the finest clinics in the country with different award levels to recognize top tier providers and reassure patients that their injection specialists are among the best of the best. Manhattan Aesthetics received the Black Diamond distinction in 2018, which is awarded only to the top 1% of clinics in the United States and is reserved for only the most talented injection artists. It’s about more than simply injecting the medication in the muscles responsible for forehead wrinkles, brow furrows, and crow’s feet. At Manhattan Aesthetics, there’s no risk of a frozen, surprised, or plastic result with our Botox® treatments. We can reverse the effects of aging with Botox® in a way that appears natural while eliminating a tired, haggard, and worn-out appearance. Not only are your appointments fast and easily scheduled around your busy lifestyle, but your treatments are also effective, producing visible results within 1 week of your appointment.

How Long Does Botox® Last

As one of the fastest-acting cosmetic enhancement treatments, Botox® takes only 3 days to a week to pause muscle movement, giving your face and skin a reprieve from the repetitive motion that deepens wrinkles and lines in the forehead and around the eyes, allowing the skin to repair and renew itself. Once Botox’s® effects take hold, muscle movement is suspended for 3-6 months. After the effects begin to wear off, repeated treatments are recommended to continue enjoying Botox’s® benefits. As with any muscle, lack of movement will shrink and weaken it, so each Botox® treatment will last a little longer each time as your muscles acclimate to reduced use.

Our Manhattan Aesthetics Team is dedicated to the art and science behind Botox® injections, and our patients love us for it. We pride ourselves on our passion for facial rejuvenation and beauty, and our relaxing, spa-like atmosphere will make you feel like royalty during your appointments.

What is the Difference Between Botox® and Fillers?

Posted on by
Manhattan Botox And Dermal Fillers

Botox® and dermal fillers are the two most popular cosmetic enhancement treatments in the country, and for good reason. They are minimally invasive, versatile, and effective treatments for the most common signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, and volume loss. Manhattan Aesthetics providers are some of the most elite in the country in the art and science behind Botox® and JUVÉDERM®, the two most recognized names in skincare injectables.

Botox New York City

How Botox® Works

Botox® made a name for itself as the first FDA-approved non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatment back in 2002. The facial expressions we make when we laugh, smile, and live our fullest life, unfortunately, contribute to horizontal forehead lines, between-the-brow furrows, and crow’s feet. Botox® is a toxin that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from telling our muscles to move. By targeting the muscles behind these upper facial expressions, we can reverse repetitive skin wrinkling for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

How JUVÉDERM® Dermal Fillers Work

The science behind JUVÉDERM® fillers takes a different focus. As we age, we lose the fullness of baby fat in our face, and our skin grows lax and dry. Our lips thin, our cheeks sink, our eyes hollow out, and the lines around our mouths deepen. JUVÉDERM® fillers combat this with a precisely engineered line of smooth gels that, when properly injected, can restore lost volume, fill in lines and wrinkles, and reverse the clock to slow the march of time.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules bring hydration and nutrients to our skin. JUVÉDERM® fillers are made of various sizes of HA molecules linked in several proprietary ways to achieve different gel consistencies and thicknesses designed for specific purposes.

JUVÉDERM® Voluma contours and volumizes sunken cheeks and under-the-eye hollows for up to 2 years.

JUVÉDERM® Volbella is thinner to enhance the delicate tissues around the eyes and mouth for subtle wrinkle filler and plumping of thin lips for up to 12 months.

JUVÉDERM® Vollure is more versatile to attack moderate to severe wrinkles and facial folds, such as deep parentheses and marionette lines around the mouth for up to 18 months.

The Result of Injectable Artistry

At Manhattan Aesthetics, our critically artistic eye and expertise with injectables can add volume to the face for contour and shape, and reverse the effects of age and time by minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Treatments with Botox® and JUVÉDERM® fillers may only take minutes, but their results last months if not years. With Botox®, patients see results within 1 week, without the risk of a surprised or frozen appearance, and enjoy the results for up to 5 months. JUVÉDERM® results are more immediate, which allows our skilled practitioners to shape and sculpt the gel to achieve the most natural effects in concert with your facial aesthetics. JUVÉDERM® products last anywhere from 12-24 months, depending on your treatment area, the formula best for you, and your particular concerns.

Manhattan Aesthetics has the honor of receiving the Black Diamond Brilliant Distinction award from Allergan, the makers of both Botox® and JUVÉDERM® products. Only 1% of all Allergan injectables providers in the U.S. reach this esteemed level, putting the Manhattan Aesthetics Team among the most elite injectables artists in the country.

Can a Laser Effectively Remove Cellulite?

Posted on by

Cellulite is an insidious form of subdermal fat that doesn’t always respond to diet and exercise. If this sounds familiar, there is hope. There are lasers available that can zap cellulite without surgery. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we have more than one laser option for treating cellulite, so you can be proud of your beautiful appearance without feeling self-conscious anymore.

Trusculpt id New York City

Target Cellulite with TruSculpt® ID and ThermiSmooth® Treatments

The TruSculpt® ID laser system is the first to target the entire adipose fat pad. It is also capable of varying its monopolar radiofrequency energy to account for fibrous tissues and different fat densities. During the 15-minute treatment, the laser system adjusts itself for your unique fat tissue physiology for a truly remarkable, cutting edge treatment that is as customized as it gets. Fat cell membranes are disrupted, resulting in cell death, which the body then filters out naturally like any other expired cells. It’s non-invasive, non-surgical, and pain-free. Best of all, the fat cells don’t return. They’re gone for good.

ThermiSmooth® Body treatments are similar to TruSculpt® ID in the use of radiofrequency heat. However, it hones in on that signature “orange peel” skin of cellulite, smoothing the deeper skin dimples by remodeling collagen, the support structure of the skin. Cellulite’s signature dimpling is created by fat pushing against collagen fibers, breaking them down and stretching them out. ThermiSmooth® realigns collagen fibers and boosts production for smoother, tighter skin structure, better circulation, and disrupted fat cell dimpling.

Combinding TruSculpt® ID and ThermiSmooth® Treatments

With the one-two punch of TruSculpt® ID and ThermiSmooth® treatments, your cellulite doesn’t stand a chance. By removing the fat cells responsible for the pressure on the collagen fibers, and repairing damaged collagen while encouraging new collagen growth, you’re treating the whole problem, not just a single symptom.

What Can I Expect with Results and Downtime?

Both treatments are quick. TruSculpt® ID only takes 15 minutes, in part because its 6 handpieces can be configured for any treatment area. ThermiSmooth® takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Treatments aren’t painful. Many patients report both procedures are soothing, like hot stone massages. 95% of patients are satisfied with 1 TruSculpt® ID treatment, while ThermiSmooth® is typically conducted 3-4 times.

There is no downtime with either procedure, and while there may be some tenderness in the treatment area following each procedure, this only lasts a few hours without the need for pain medication. Results from both procedures can take time as the body’s cell filtering process isn’t instantaneous. While you may notice some immediate texture and tone improvements to your skin, 3 months is the optimal point for results to be measured. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you may never need to repeat the TruSculpt® ID treatment. Many patients opt to repeat their ThermiSmooth® treatment after 12 months to give their collagen another healthy boost and maintain smooth, tight, dimple free skin.

Manhattan Aesthetics has built a reputation for a patient-focused, holistically balanced treatment philosophy that is also at the forefront of the cosmetic enhancement industry. We treat the whole patient, not just body parts. Your experience is our priority, and we want you to leave knowing you’ve had the best treatment available.

How Much Does Body Contouring Cost?

Posted on by

You work hard and take care of yourself and still, your body shape isn’t what you’d like it to be. Maybe your flanks carry an extra roll above your waistband. Maybe your thighs are too wide, or your backside isn’t as curvaceous as you’d like. Whatever the area giving you trouble, TruSculpt® ID is a revolutionary new body contouring treatment, and Manhattan Aesthetics is one of few exclusive providers offering this procedure.

Body Contouring New York City

Reshape Your Body with TruSculpt® ID

TruSculpt® ID is the first body contouring treatment that targets the entire adipose pad, not just individual fat cells, and can adjust its energy for varying fat densities. This truly remarkable technology uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to disrupt fat cell membranes and cause cell death so the body’s lymphatic system can filter them out naturally. TruSculpt® ID is versatile enough for any area of the body and advanced enough to work around fibrous tissues that otherwise block the system’s energy. TruSculpt® ID can give you the shape you want in any part of your body, and through an exclusive agreement with Cutera, TruSculpt® ID’s manufacturer, Manhattan Aesthetics has the honor of being one of few clinics in the world to offer TruSculpt® ID treatments. In just 15 minutes, you can have the silhouette you’ve always wanted.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Another major benefit of TruSculpt® ID is that there is no BMI or weight restriction, so for the first time ever, obese or morbidly obese patients may seek body contouring treatments. Few people are excluded from this treatment.

What are TruSculpt® ID Treatments Like?

The Manhattan Aesthetics team will begin your comprehensive treatment by placing the 6 TruSculpt® ID handpieces on your target area, ensuring full contact. Then the warm sensation of the monopolar RF energy begins. Patients report the heat is intense the first minute, but they adjust for a high comfort level throughout the procedure. More than one treatment area may stretch your appointment up to an hour, but each area treated takes only 15 minutes, and Manhattan Aesthetics can treat up to 3 areas at once.

95% of patients need only 1 treatment per area. Patients immediately notice a firm, improved skin tone and texture in the treatment area, and the body will filter out the dead fat cells, so improvements continue every day for 12 weeks. Because the change isn’t abrupt, no one will know you’ve had work done. They’ll think you’ve discovered a fantastic health regimen and will want to know your secret, but only you and Manhattan Aesthetics need to know.

How Much Does TruSculpt® ID Cost?

TruSculpt® ID’s cost is comparative to other body contouring treatments, and while it varies with the number of areas being treated, you can expect approximately $750 per treatment area. For a treatment unlike any other in the world, this investment in your health and confidence is relatively small for the value and outcomes achieved.

Manhattan Aesthetics is synonymous with innovation, technological breakthroughs, and a patient-centric philosophy that encompasses holistic methods as well as Western medicine. If you’re looking for a world-renowned provider on the cutting edge of the cosmetic enhancement industry, let our passion for inner as well as outer beauty serve you.
