What’s the Recovery Time for Laser Cellulite Removal?

Posted on by

Cellulite is a condition where subdermal fat tissue forms lumps and can even give the skin an “orange peel” texture. People suffering from cellulite often feel restricted in social activities and the clothing they wear. If cellulite plagues you, you don’t have to live with it. Manhattan Aesthetics has a solution.

Smooth Cellulite with TruSculpt® ID

Get the fat at its source with TruSculpt® ID treatments. Through monopolar radiofrequency energy, TruSculpt® ID targets fat cells in virtually any treatment area on the body, like the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs. This energy disrupts fat cell membranes, causing cell death so the body’s lymphatic system can filter them out naturally. Because TruSculpt® ID targets the entire adipose pad, and the system adjusts for unique fat densities within that pad, there is no better personalized fat targeting system available. Manhattan Aesthetics has the honor of being the only clinic in the world to offer TruSculpt® ID treatments, through an exclusive agreement with Cutera, TruSculpt® ID’s manufacturer. In just 15 minutes, you can smooth away the fat that creates cellulite’s appearance.

Target Cellulite with ThermiSmooth®

Much like TruSculpt® ID, ThermiSmooth® Body treatments use radiofrequency heat, but instead of targeting fat, it focuses on the underlying causes of orange peel texture and deeper skin dimples. RF heat realigns existing collagen fibers in your skin as well as boosting new collagen production. Age breaks our connective tissues down, reducing skin support and causing a melting, sagging appearance. ThermiSmooth® rearranges collagen to smooth and tighten your skin, boost blood circulation, and disrupt fat cells similar to TruSculpt® ID.

ThermiSmooth & TruSculpt ID Consultations Available


REQUEST A CONSULTAION

What are Treatments Like?

Both types of treatment are quick. TruSculpt® ID takes an average of 15 minutes thanks to its 6 handpieces that can be configured for any treatment area. ThermiSmooth® averages between 15-45 minutes. Both treatments are entirely pain-free, and many patients report that ThermiSmooth® is so soothing, it feels like a warm massage. While TruSculpt® ID treatments satisfy 95% of patients after a single session, more sessions may be scheduled. Patients typically undergo 3-4 ThermiSmooth® treatments to fully address cellulite concerns.

Downtime and Results

The non-invasive nature of both treatments means there’s virtually no downtime for either procedure. Patients may experience some treatment site tenderness for a few hours after TruSculpt® ID sessions, but it resolves quickly without the need for pain intervention. There is no recovery time for ThermiSmooth®, and in fact, patients report feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after the procedure is complete. Results with both procedures take time to become visible because the body needs time to filter out dead fat cells eliminated by the procedure. Long-term collagen stimulation also takes time to become apparent. Because of this, both procedures frequently take around 3 months for optimal results to be measured. Studies show skin tightening and cellulite reduction may last up to 1 year, possibly longer with patients observing a healthy lifestyle.

The Manhattan Aesthetics team has made a name for ourselves through the continued pursuit of technological breakthroughs, innovation, and a philosophy that treats patients, not body parts. If you’re looking for a world-renowned, knowledgeable, compassionate provider on the cutting edge of the cosmetic enhancement industry, look no further than Manhattan Aesthetics.

this review is overdue. my experience was amazing they provide a level of expertise beyond my dermatologist with the best customer service in nyc. i went for their amazing sculpsure deal and was reccommended the thermismooth instead. they explained in detail the advantages of each treatment and that the thermismooth was a better and more cost effective choice for removing cellulite. my treatments were painless and literally removed 100% of the cellulite. i highly recommend

What’s the Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Abdominal Fat Removal?

Posted on by

Sometimes, no matter how religiously you crunch, plank, or knee tuck, the layer of fat over your abdominal muscles doesn’t disappear. Manhattan Aesthetics is the only clinic in the world using TruSculpt® ID, alone or combined with SculpSure®, for safe, non-surgical abdominal fat removal for abs that pop.

Body Contouring with SculpSure®

We have a fairly static number of fat cells that respond to weight fluctuations by changing the size, not quantity. Temperature affects adipose tissue faster than the surrounding tissues, so fat cells can be removed by increasing their temperature without harming surrounding cells. This discovery led to SculpSure®, a revolutionary laser using hyperthermic energy to heat fat cell membranes, disrupting them to reach cell death. Your body’s natural lymphatic system takes over to filter them out. A single 25-minute SculpSure® treatment disrupts up to 24% of fat cells in the target area. Those fat cells are gone. For good.

Fat Removal with TruSculpt® ID

Manhattan Aesthetics is the first provider in the world to offer TruSculpt® ID treatments. Like SculpSure®, TruSculpt® ID heats fat cells using monopolar radiofrequency energy in an area 3x larger than competing fat removal systems like CoolSculpting. In 15 short minutes, TruSculpt® ID targets the entire adipose pad with all its varied fat densities. This means TruSculpt® ID adjusts to your specific needs, your unique fat composition, and your particular genetics. There is no other more targeted, comprehensive, or personalized fat reduction treatment available anywhere.

TruSculpt® ID is elevated above similar technology by the lack of BMI or weight restrictions, making it the first non-surgical fat reduction treatment available for obese patients. While average patient fat loss is listed at 24% like SculpSure®, some patients in clinical trials recorded ultrasound measurements of over 35% fat reduction. Under the guidance of our board-certified physicians, the potential is staggering.

TruSculpt ID & SculpSure Consultations Available


REQUEST A CONSULTAION

Am I a Good Candidate?

While SculpSure® treatments aren’t meant as a significant treatment for obesity, TruSculpt® ID has no limit. If you’re concerned about abdominal fat, schedule a consultation with Manhattan Aesthetics to discuss your concerns and medical history to determine your candidacy. Besides fat, what do you have to lose?

Treatment, Results, and Downtime

SculpSure®’s customizable applicators, and TruSculpt® ID’s 6 handpieces treat larger areas, or multiple areas at once, providing 95% of patients the coverage they need to reach their fat reduction goals in one treatment. Those with greater goals may seek 2-3 treatments total to reach their desired outcome.

While the targeted fat cells die immediately, the body’s filtering process is slower, so visible results don’t begin until a few weeks after treatment, with maximum benefit around 12 weeks. But slimming doesn’t stop there. Fat cells continue to filter out of the body for 3 months. The best part? Absolutely no downtime. Patients return to their regular schedules immediately following treatment.

Where else in the world can you seek TruSculpt® ID treatments, either alone or combined with SculpSure® technology? Nowhere. Manhattan Aesthetics is honored to be the only clinic where such breakthrough treatments are possible, and our commitment to excellence and advancement, and compassion for the whole person and not just a body part is all you need on the road to a whole new you.

Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait.

How to Safely Reduce Your Pore Size

Posted on by

Smooth, flawless skin is largely considered the foundation of beauty. While a perfect, pore-free complexion is impossible to achieve outside of Photoshop, Manhattan Aesthetics offers treatments that bring you the next best thing: healthy, supple skin that glows with the vitality of youth.

Microneedling New York City

*Individual results may vary.

Advanced Treatment Techniques

First, we have Vivace, a revolutionary skin resurfacing system that elevates our facial rejuvenation to the next level. With 31 settings for a highly customizable treatment protocol, we tailor your plan to your unique concerns. Vivace uses RF microneedling, administered through 36 gold insulated needle tips that are inserted into the skin at various depths. The radiofrequency energy delivers in a deeper dermal impact, particularly effective for acne scars, to trigger your skin’s own healing response. The result is more collagen and elastin production and newer, younger skin cells. Enlarged pores become a thing of the past.

Then there’s traditional microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy. Using the same principles as Vivace treatments, tiny micro-injuries are created in the skin to stimulate a healing response that triggers collagen production. For patients who are worried more about enlarged pore size and less about more significant signs of aging or acne scarring, microneedling may be a better, less intensive treatment option.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Microneedling and Vivace are both safe, effective treatments for all skin types. You don’t have to wait until the signs of aging are obvious. Manhattan Aesthetics can guide you through a preventative plan at the first signs of aging, which often begins as large pores, so you can slow the clock and retain your youth for longer, keeping fresh, supple skin for years longer than your peers.

Microneedling & Vivace Consultations Available


REQUEST A CONSULTAION

Treatment, Results, and Downtime

Your microneedling treatment session will last between 30-60 minutes and is performed by skilled members of the Manhattan Aesthetics team. Patients are typically administered a prescription-strength numbing agent prior to treatment for optimal comfort, with other pain management options available upon request. The results are surprisingly immediate. You’ll leave our offices with a softer feeling, tighter looking skin. The benefits only grow from there. Because collagen production continues well after your treatment, your skin will improve over months. Frequently, patients do require multiple sessions to achieve final results, but each treatment gets you one step closer to the skin you’ve always wanted.

Vivace treatments, because they are more in-depth, often show faster, more profound results than traditional microneedling. Your session begins with a custom compounded numbing cream, and the treatment lasts 30-45 minutes after your skin is comfortably numb. Following the treatment, we administer a cooling mask to take the heat out of your skin, and a booster serum to minimize redness. Patients have warm, red skin in the first two days following treatment, and by day 3, the skin begins to flake, revealing new, youthful skin beneath. These extra steps post-treatment make downtime with Vivace virtually nonexistent. Downtime with traditional microneedling varies depending on the depth of the treatment. Milder treatments come with no downtime, while more aggressive sessions take up to 3 days of recovery.

Enlarged pores are the first sign of aging, but you don’t have to take them lying down. Call Manhattan Aesthetics today to schedule a consultation.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! Manhattan Aesthetics is unbeatable. I spoke to Craig on the phone for imformation and to set up an appointment — he is so warm and knowledgeable. I’ve been to Olga twice now for microneedling and I actually cannot believe how happy I am with the results. It’s clear she is passionate about her work — she tailors each treatment to the individual and she has studied cosmotology in Russia and the states so she truly understands the treatments she does on a scientific level. Plus, she is fun to talk to and very kind. In short, great staff, extremely competitive prices, amazing experience!!!

New York Rosacea Facial

Posted on by

Rosacea is an embarrassing an uncomfortable skin condition characterized by chronic flushing and periods of prolonged redness of the cheeks, nose and forehead affecting more than 14 million Americans. The condition typically begins after age 30 and is more common in women than men. Rosacea flare ups can be extreme and often unpredictable.

Rosacea Treatment New York City

*Individual results may vary.

Treating rosacea is a very delicate art because the skin is ultra sensitive and most skin care products are simply too abrasive for these areas. The Manhattan Aesthetics Rosacea Facial is just what the doctor ordered. Unlike a traditional european facial the Rosacea Facial is a steam-free treatment that relies on medical-grade cosmeceutical skin care to gently exfoliate the skin. A detoxifying lymphatic drainage massage is performed to release toxins and minimize lymph fluid congestion which assists in regenerating the damaged tissue. A prescription strength topical is then used to desensitize the skin preventing future rosacea attacks. The final step involves applying a delicate green tea mask to calm and hydrate the skin that will lock in the results!

Once the Roscaea is controlled we recommend a  vbeam laser treatment followed by an IPL photofacial laser treatment to effectively prevent future rosacea attacks. The vbeam laser produces a single wavelength burst of light that will target the most superficial blood vessels that are closest to the skin’s surface. The IPL photofacial produces a broad spectrum of light that targets blood vessels deeper than the vbeam laser to diffuse redness and diminish the vascular response.

For more information give us a call at (646) 760-4726.

Demystifying The Modern Medical Facial

Posted on by

The European Facial is an ago old a spa ritual synonymous with relaxation and pampering. To date this remains true, however, the modern facial now also provides an invaluable opportunity to evaluate the skin for various conditions that can be improved using modernized technology such as:

-PDT (Photodynamic Therapy)

–Microneedling

-Laser Assisted Collagen Remodeling (Laser Genesis)

–IPL/Photofacial

-Corrective Masks and Serums

The Importance of Skin Analysis

On a daily basis we see our patients engage in a dangerous and extremely detrimental practice when it comes to their skin- this is treating symptoms without identifying the root cause of the problem. All to often patients suffering from skin conditions such as acne, dark spots, uneven pigmentation and or texture, wrinkles, etc… will try to remedy these conditions by following the regimen they once did when they were happiest with their skin or by using products without following guidelines set forth by a physician. The result can be catastrophic and certainly won’t address the issues at hand. At Manhattan Aesthetics we provide all of our patients with a complimentary skin analysis to establish a baseline which we refer to in developing a proper skin care regimen and treatment plan when necessary. During this evaluation we assess:

-Brown Spots and Sun Damage (Melasmas, Freckles, Hyperpigmentation)

-Fine Lines/Wrinkles

-Texture

-Tone

-Laxity

-Redness (Vascular Lesions)

Cleansing, Exfoliation and Steam

With any facial procedure a steamer is used to open up the pores to cleanse and release toxins and impurities. Manual extractions are then typically performed to eliminate blackheads and remove sebum from the skin. A cleanser is then used to further exfoliate and clean the skin.

Everything You Need To Know About Serums and Toner

Applying the right serum will make all the difference in unlocking your complexion’s glow and vibrancy. Unlike creams which simply sit on the surface of the skin serums contain tiny molecules that effectively penetrate the skin delivering potent doses of active ingredients deep within. Serums are a key component to any modern medical facial and are carefully selected to address your skin’s specific concerns. For example, a Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serum is excellent for anti-aging and brightening while a Vitamin B serum is used for hydration and an Acai serum is great for retexturing the skin.

The Devil Is Always In The Details

The secret to success in any modern medical facial relies heavily on the various modalities used to improve the quality of one’s skin. For patients suffering from browns spots, sun spots, liver spots, freckles, melasmas and hyperpigmentation a chemical peel or PicoSure laser session will quickly and effectively eliminate these conditions. If acne is a concern the medical aesthetician will administer a sophisticated blue light treatment called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to destroy acne causing bacteria in a mere 20 minutes. For aging skin there are various high-tech solutions including red led therapy to gently stimulate collagen production and also leave the skin glowing and radiant. Laser genesis or the 1064 YAG laser is an awesome procedure that heats up the dermis to increase collagen production. For severe lines and wrinkles microneedling with a Dermapen is used to make tiny puncture wounds in the surface of the skin triggering a natural healing process that stimulate collagen and elastic. If puffy eyes are a problem the ThermiSmooth yields dramatic results comparable to those of a full surgical blepharoplasty!

Seal The Deal With A Mask

The final component of the modern medical facial is the application of a mask-actually 2 masks! The first mask is carefully curated to address the individual needs of the skin and may be a charcoal or clay mask to assist in detoxifying acne prone skin, a collagen mask to plump and regenerate aging skin or a brightening mask will to improve the tone and texture in evenly pigmented skin. The final mask- a hydration mask provides a moisture seal that will lock in nutrients and protect your investment!

Posted on by

Memorial Day Weekend is fast approaching and your hottest summer outfit packed and ready to go but are you ready to show off your summer body? If you are like most (85% of Women and 25% of Men) then you probably are suffering from stubborn cellulite. So the bad news is carb cutting and cardio aren’t going to help you but there solutions that will!

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a layer of subcutaneous fat deposits that forms beneath the surface of the skin causing the body to appear chunky and dimpled. Cellulite is classified into three different categories:

-Grade 1-Fat cells are present at the microscopic level and the skin will present fat when pinched

-Grade 2-Dimpling occurs when standing and lying down

-Grade 3-Cellulite is severe with large areas of dimples and depressions

Causes Of Cellulite

The truth is the research conducted to evaluate the causes of cellulite is not conclusive, however, several contributing factors have been identified. These include hormonal changes, genetics and lifestyle factors such as stress and smoking.

Cellfina

Cellfina is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed by inserting a small laser tube under the surface of the skin. The laser heats the subcutaneous fat causing it to melt which dramatically improves the appearance of cellulite. Multiple treatments are often required to achieve optimal results and the procedure can become quite expensive often in costing upwards of $10,000.

Thermage

Thermage uses radio frequency to heat the surface of the skin yielding a tightening and toning effect. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes and can be somewhat painful because it operates at a high temperature. The applicator is used to stimulates collagen which tightens the fibers that run through the fatty layers. The downside to thermage is that it typically will only result in a 50-60 percent reduction of cellulite.

Endermologie

Endermologie is an age old non-surgical method used to reduce cellulite that uses rollers and suction to increase circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. By eliminating built up fluids and toxins the skin will appear smoother and tighter. While Endermologie is inexpensive and painless it does require frequent treatments and is not the most effective option in the battle against cellulite!

Velashape

Velashape uses infrared energy with massage rollers to heat the skin and promote collagen tightening. The treatment can be a bit uncomfortable causing a pinching sensation followed by mild to moderate redness lasting up to an hour. Like the other cellulite removal treatment options Velashape also reduces the size of the fat cells.

Alma Accent

The Alma Accent uses laser energy to heat deep layers of the skin causing the fat cells to draw. Alma is safe to for use on just about every area of the body and is completely painless. Typically 6-8 procedures are required to see results and the full effect of these treatments will be realized within a 6 month period. The disadvantage to Alma is that many patients have reported results do not last long term and require consistent treatment.

The Winner: ThermiSmooth

ThermiSmooth is by far the best option when it comes to treating stubborn cellulite. It is the only method that is FDA approved specifically for the reduction of cellulite. The procedure is fast and painless lasting a mere 20-30 minutes. The practitioner applies coconut oil to the target area and will use the appropriate applicator to massage the area in a circular motion. Like Thermage the ThermiSmooth uses radio frequency energy however it is administered at the precisely correct temperature. Unlike Thermage the ThermiBody procedure is performhttp://www.thermage.comed using Thermi’s proprietary temperature controlled hand piece that prevents overheating and ensures a consistent and precise treatment. 4-5 sessions are typically required with results lasting 18 months. Thereafter an annual touchup session is required to preserve the results.

The procedure will not only restore the texture of your the skin, minimize fine lines and wrinkles and correct superficial scarring but it will exfoliate the pores to release toxins and prepare the skin for what’s to come.

10 Minutes Non-Surgical Eye Lift

Posted on by
Kybella NYC

Despite what you may have heard think very carefully before having a filler injection in the tear trough. This precarious region that lies just beneath the lower eyelid above the cheekbone is problem zone for many. As we we begin to lose elasticity in the eyelids which will often causes fat to accumulate beneath the eyes. This often causes puffy bags to form causing the face to appear tired and aged. Deformation of the tear troughs affects people ages 20 through 80 and is typically characterized by:

-Puffiness

-Dark circles under the eyes

-Loose sagging skin in the tear trough

-Crepey and wrinkled upper and/or lower lids

Filler injections in the tear trough are highly problematic often leading to complications because the skin in this area is very thin and translucent. Most fillers will coagulate and appear bumpy and uneven. This area is also more susceptible to bruising, swelling, necrosis and the formation of nodules called subcutaneous papules. Surgery is often expensive with the risk of complications and will require down time.

A safer, more effective and less expensive approach to correcting the skin around the eyes including the tear trough is ThermiEye which takes just ten minutes! ThermiSmooth is able to treat the area at precisely 42 degrees celsius the optimal temperature to cause the collagen fibers to contract while melting excess fat padding around the eyes. The result is thicker skin around the eyes supported by a reinforced net of collagen facilitating smoother appearing skin. ThermiEye feels like a warm massage and requires 3 painless 10 minute sessions with results that last years.

Add A Glowing Complexion To Your Resume

Posted on by
Hyperpigmentation Manhattan

Looking and feeling amazing is always important and now more than ever if you are a graduate embarking on your exciting journey into the work world. In today’s competitive job market it is important to prepare yourself with every possible advantage so while you may have graduated we say you still have homework:

  • Exfoliate-As skin cells build up over time our complexion often becomes dull and lackluster which is why it is so important to exfoliate your skin. We recommend doing so the night before an interview prior to applying a medium bodied moisturizer. This is best to ensure the skin is calm and ready by morning.
  • Correct Uneven Skin-Contrary to what you may have been told makeup is not your friend! It will clog your pores and even the best of makeups are no match for blotchy uneven skin tones. Chill 2% milk and apply it to your face with a washcloth. The PH of milk is great at brightening the skin to mask these imperfections. You may also want to consider a PhotoFacial or Chemical Peel to correct skin imperfection such as dark spots, blotchiness and hyper-pigmentation.
  • Eliminate Bags Under You Eyes-Whether sleepless nights at the library or partying on the roof of the frat house until 3 in the morning those bags under your eyes are no match for ThermiEye. After just one 10 minute session the puffiness will disappear and you will look refreshed and ready. Gently applying ice around the eyes will also provide temporary relief.
  • The Morning Of-Today is your big day and you need to be fierce. Remember you own the show and nothing is getting in your way. Protect your natural glow by keeping your shower on the cool side. Hot water can leave your skin dry and irritated and the cooler temperature will leave your skin refreshed. Avoid salty foods and alcohol for 24 hours to reduce inflammation and drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and impurities.

Because Permanent Makeup Isn’t Permanent Enough

Posted on by

Eyebrows are an individual’s most prominent facial feature and play an integral role in accentuating our eyes, defining the shape and structure of our face’ as well as in establishing our social identity. As a matter of fact our eyebrows are the very first feature other individuals use to identify us by! A recent study conducted by the University of Lethbridge in Canada presented participants with 25 images of celebrities without brows and 25 images of celebrities without eyes. 56% of participants correctly identified celebrities presented without eyes while only 46% correctly identified celebrities without brows!

Unfortunately, lush defined brows don’t often come naturally. In fact, more than 80 million Americans suffer from thinning eyebrows caused by a myriad of conditions which include:

-Stress

-Aging

-Hypothyroidism

-Over-Plucking

-Eczema

-Alopecia

Quick fixes such as pencils, gels, powders and pomades are a good temporary solution, however, they require careful planning and an extensive time investment each and every day!

Permanent makeup and specifically microblading is a more practical alternative and is a technique that involves the use of a permanent makeup pen and scalpel to carefully etch inked brows into the skin. A topical numbing agent is first applied to ensure patient comfort and the procedure typically takes about 2 hours yielding lush natural brows. The downside to microblading is that the procedure will require routine touchups every 6-8 months as the ink gradually fades.

The best option for thinning eyebrows is an eyebrow transplant. At Manhattan Aesthetics we use the NeoGraft scarless technique. Unlike traditional hair grafting techniques that leave a visible scar NeoGrafting is an automated technology that will extract donor hair using FUE (Follicular-Unit Extraction) to transplant donor hair without making a scalpel incision. The Hair Grafting team at Manhattan Aesthetics is second to none and carefully plans each treatment taking into account the shape of the arch and paying meticulous attention to the angle and curve of each hair to ensure a stunning natural result! On average 50-200 hairs are transplanted per brow yielding permanent results.
