A Better Way To SculpSure

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 5:37 pm by simononline

2017 is the Summer of Sculpsure and it is no secret that Manhattan Aesthetics is New York’s premier destination to permanently destroy fat. Having performed over 1000 treatments we are acclaimed as a center for excellence by Cynosure! You may wonder why New Yorkers are happiest at Manhattan Aesthetics and we can give you 3 reasons why!

#1 Clinical Training

SculpSure is the gold standard when it comes to non-invasive fat removal running laps around competitors such as CoolSculpting, UltraShape and Exilis which are painful and not as effective. However, it’s more than having having the goods you have to be able to work it! SculpSure clinicians at Manhattan Aesthetics each have undergone an additional 250 hours of rigorous training in addition to the manufacturer’s formal certification program. This additional clinical experience has provided an invaluable and comprehensive understanding of the technology and how to place applicators, adjust the laser’s settings and position the patient to achieve the absolute best results! Careful attention is paid to the laxity of the skin prior to treatment as well as the patient’s overall condition to ensure candidacy. Moreover, all of our clinicians have actually undergone the procedure themselves so patients can feel comfortable asking questions about SculpSure.

#2 Flexibility

The beauty of SculpSure is that it is a 25 minute procedure with absolutely 0 downtime making it the ideal pre-work, post-work or lunch break procedure! However, how many SculpSure providers can actually accommodate these times and without the stress of an extended wait? Manhattan Aesthetics is open 7 days a week with from 9:00 am until 8:00 pm a must for the busy New Yorker. For added convenience all consultations are complimentary and are booked to include enough time so if desired the treatment can be performed on the spot.

#3 Patient Satisfaction

We are proud to report we have had 100% patient satisfaction to date after performing over 1,000 SculpSure treatments! We stand behind our results and are committed to each and every case! Our patients are family and we are committed to providing the most compassionate coordinated care. Our physicians, clinical team, medical aestheticians and administrative team is available 24 hours a day to assist.

Fall Into Healthy Vibrant Skin

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 5:31 pm by simononline

With temperatures soaring into the mid 80’s if not for apple cider donuts, fall foliage and pumpkin spice everything it would be hard to accept we are in the midst of fall! Now more than ever is the time to repair Summer skin damage and prepare our skin for what lies ahead. At Manhattan Aesthetics our team of expert Dermatologists and laser clinicians have the tools and talent to repair, enhance and protect your skin safely and effectively.

Repair

While soaking up the summer’s sun may feel good it can have serious consequences leaving the skin dull and dehydrated. Not to mention UV exposure increases pigment leaving the skin blotchy and uneven. Exfoliation with microdermabrasion and light peels such as salicylic acid are a great option to slough off the dead skin and generate fresh new skin cells. Various laser technologies and techniques are excellent for correcting sun damage:

IPL Photo Facial-Intense Pulsed Light Therapy is the gold standard when it comes to eliminating brown spots, freckling and redness caused from the sun. IPL uses various wavelengths to to target discoloration. Typically 3-4 sessions are required to achieve a complete result. (0 Downtime)

VI Peel-The VI Peel is the ultimate chemical peel containing a myriad of peels (TCA, Retin-A, Salicylic Acid, Phenol) in one proprietary formula. By eliminating the damaged top layer of the skin the VI Peel will reveal glowing luminous healthy tissue very often in just a single visit. (0 Downtime)

Fraxel Laser-Fraxel laser uses a tiny beam to remove the top layers of the skin which are the most affected by sun damage. The result is tighter, brighter and fresher looking skin. (1-2 Days Downtime)

Enhance

Clean glowing skin is the foundation for healthy skin! Skin care is never one size fits all and requires careful analysis and attention to detail. Each individual has varying needs and conditions ranging from normal to oily to combination to aging skin and everything in between! It is important to entrust in a licensed clinician to navigate through the confusion of products and treatments to help you achieve a natural sustainable balance safely and efficiently. Simple procedures such as Laser Genesis, Aerolase NeoPod and Custom Facials will ensure your skin is healthy and nourished.

Protect

Newly rejuvenated skin deserves extra protection to keep it fresh, healthy and preserved. Sun damage is an oxidative process whereby UV rays and environmental contaminants such as pollution will trigger the release of free radicals that lead to signs of premature aging and physical defects. To counteract we always recommend using a Vitamin C Serum such as Skinceuticals CE Ferulic in conjunction with SPF. The reason for this is that the Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and will slow the rate of damage to the collagen and elastin in the skin caused by free radicals.

Weighing in on Liposuction!

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 1:27 pm by simononline

Liposuction commonly referred to as “lipo” can used to remove excess fat deposits from the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, arms, calves, chest, cheeks, chin, neck and back. The procedure which on average cost New Yorker’s $5,000-$10,000 on average has evolved tremendously over the years. While traditional liposuction which requires risky anesthesia, extensive down time and unsightly scars newer technology such as smartlipo. laser liposuction and vaser liposuction have made the treatment safer and more appealing.

Hi Tech Liposuction

Once performed in a hospital operating room the newest versions of liposuction may be performed in-office as an outpatient procedure by your local dermatologist or plastic surgeon. A probe is inserted into the body that emits laser energy used to destroy the fat cells. These cells are then drained from the body over a period of time. Local anesthesia is used in place of heavier generalized sedation as with traditional liposuction and patients are able to return home the same day enjoying less down time than ever before.

How Safe is Safe

While smartlipo, laser liposuction, vaser and tumescent liposuction are less invasive than traditional liposuction promising shorter downtime there are various serious side effects and complications crucial for patients to be made aware of. Hi tech liposuction can yield potentially disastrous results which include scarring, infection, skin necrosis, dimpling, numbness as well a potential laser burn. Pain can last several moths making it difficult to resume normal activity. Not to mention the treatment often requires the use of compression garments.

A Better Alternative

Up until 2015 the most commonly accepted body sculpting procedure was cool sculpting a process used to freeze fat. However, with a laundry list of complications and potential side effects coolsculpting made non-invasive body sculpting an unlikely alternative to liposuction. Then in 2015 SculpSure came to market ending the the ice age to offering New Yorker’s a safer and more effective way to eliminate excess body fat. SculpSure uses a highly calibrated 1060 nanometer wavelength diode laser commonly used in in surgical procedures for more than 20 years to attack the body’s fat cells stored in the adipose tissue. The procedure which takes a mere 25 minutes eliminates 24 percent – 27 percent of the fat cells in the targeted area which are then flushed through the body’s lymphatic system over a period of 6 weeks to 12 weeks.

The Results

Better than liposuction results! Yes it’s true for patients with a BMI of 35 or less SculpSure is the clear alternative to smartlipo, laser liposuction, vaser, tumescent and coolsculpting. SculpSure does not require any anesthesia and will not causing any bruising, swelling or damage to the skin. SculpSure dominates the competition when it comes to cost, downtime, patient satisfaction and overall comfort. SculpSure delivers a safe and effective treatment for men and women of all ages. Manhattan Aesthetics is New York’s most experienced SculpSure provider offering clinical expertise that is second to none.

An Acne Solution That Actually Works!

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 1:07 pm by simononline

Whether you are suffering from white heads, black heads, inflamed pustules, acne cysts or a combination of these pesky and often traumatizing conditions just know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! In fact, more than 80% of the population struggles with acne a condition we see at Manhattan Aesthetics on a daily basis. Until recently there were not many options to treat acne other than with accutane and heavy antibiotics. Like most we do not consider these options to be appropriate given their potential side effects.

Cosmetic Dermatology

Lasers have been a widely recognized approach in treating acne, however, the status quo laser treatments which include the pulse dye laser and smooth beam only yield temporary results and in many cases patients simply don’t respond. Another alternate acne treatment often referred to as “Blue Light Therapy” or Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) performed in conjunction with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is also a widely used technique for treating acne. Unfortunately the medications associated with “Blue Light Therapy” cost anywhere from $800-$1200 per treatment and will result in a severe acne breakout followed by mild to moderate improvement. Topical products, oral supplements, facials with steam and extractions, masques and chemical exfoliation using glycolic and salicylic peels only treat the symptoms of acne but not the actual condition itself.

Aerolase NeoClear The Future of Acne

At Manhattan Aesthetics we offer an acne treatment that is highly effective offering long term results with very low reoccurrence rates. Using the Aerolase NeoClear protocol we are able to achieve 85%-100% clearance of active acne in just 5 weeks! The treatment is aggressive yet painless and has absolutely NO DOWNTIME! Each sessions lasts just 15 minutes with a mild to moderate heating sensation. The Aerolase uses revolutionary 650 microsecond technology shortening the time between pulses to one billionth of a second-this is enables us to deliver energy deep into the dermis without any pain or discomfort. A series of Aerolase will sterilize the p. Acne bacteria which is the root of all acne breakouts and dry out the sebaceous gland!

Retinol 101

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 12:34 pm by simononline

Glass Skin Facial, Manhattan, & New York City

Retinol is by far one of the most misused and misunderstood skincare products on the market which is why we felt the urge address it head on. Retinol or retinoids which include retinoid acid (tretinoin), retinal palmitate, isotretinoin and alitretinoin are all just chemical derivatives of vitamin A! Vitamin A is the key nutrient responsible for cellular turnover the process when our skin produces new cells that travel from the lowest layer of the epidermis to the top layer and then are shed.

Retinol In SkinCare

Retinol is a common ingredient in modern skincare formulations because it is effective for enhancing the brightness of the skin, minimizing acne breakouts and boosting collagen. The problem is many consumers are feeding their skin retinol without a strategic game plan to mitigate the risks associated overusing retinol.

When To Start

A retinol regimen should not begin until you are in your mid 20s to early 30s. Many people are motivated to be proactive and combat the early signs of aging, however, the using retinol when you are too young could cause adverse reactions such as severe acne breakouts, intense sunburns (retinol increases photosensitivity), intense flaking and redness. On the flip side waiting too long can also be problematic because your skin may be too aged and require a higher (often prescription strength) dose of retinol that will increase skin sensitivity.

The Right Balance

Retinol should always be incorporated slowly and carefully integrated with your existing skin care regimen. It is important to identify any existing products you are using with retinol to prevent an overdose. At Manhattan Aesthetics we carefully manage our patients’ retinol use and often will start with a low dose such as SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 which releases the active ingredient slowly and gently making it an an excellent prerequisite for virgin retinol users.

How To Use

Retinol should only be applied at night time because of its interaction with sunlight. In addition to photosensitivity the sun will actually impair the effectiveness of retinol. It is for this reason it is imperative to wear an SPF50 or greater while taking retinol and also should be avoided during the summer months.

VIVACE: The Future In Skin Resurfacing

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 12:19 pm by simononline

It has been just 2 years since Vogue declared MicroNeedling as the next best thing in skin care. Commonly referred to as collagen induction therapy MicroNeedling has long been the go-to anti-aging staple for Hollywood celebrities Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts to name a few! MicroNeedling has traditionally been performed using either a Dermal Pen or Dermal Roller to create tiny superficial injuries to the skin and tissue. These injuries trigger a healing response in the body that in turn stimulates collagen production and causes the dermis to contract and thicken resulting in younger healthier skin! At our offices we perform MicroNeedling every day of the week successfully treating wrinkles, scars, pigment, texture and tone. While it is most commonly performed on the face MicroNeedling is safe and effective on almost any part of the body including the neck, décolletage, chest and hands.

Dermal Roller vs Dermal Pen

A Dermal Roller is a mechanical device with 1.5mm surgical steel needles that are rolled up and down the treatment area several times. They do not offer anywhere near the level of precision or control we see with a Dermal Pen as the depth cannot be adjusted and roller is too large to reach delicate areas such as the lip lines and around the eyes. The needles from a Dermal Roller penetrate the skin at an angle which often cause tears and days of redness. Dermal Pens have complete customization and allow us to treat at various depths ranging from .5mm (skin around the mouth, eyes, forehead) to 3mm (cheeks, deep scarring). With the Dermal Pen various tips can be used ranging from 12 needle which is great for a patient who presents deep scars or severe wrinkles wrinkles to 36 needle which is ideal for fine lines and wrinkles. There is no question that the Dermal Pen is optimal choice when it comes to MicroNeedling.

VIVACE

VIVACE is the future of MicroNeedling offering results equal if not better than CO2 laser resurfacing, Fraxel, Halo, Nano laser, Clear and Brilliant, Erbium… VIVACE is truly in a class of its own when it comes to skin resurfacing and has changed the way we treat skin at Manhattan Aesthetics. Unlike dermal rollers or dermal pens the VIVACE system uses 36 24K gold needles that are inserted into the skin quickly and evenly with a powerful robotic motor. The needles are charged with radio frequency that emits energy upon insertion causing the deepest layers of tissue to heat up. Unlike other ablative laser treatment thats that tear the surface of the skin leaving weeks of downtime VIVACE delivers energy through precise micro channels and actually reaches even deeper heating deep layers of pigment and stimulating collagen deeper for much more dramatic and long lasting results. To learn more about how VIVACE can transform your skin schedule a complimentary consultation with the experts at Manhattan Aesthetics by calling (646) 647-3122.

How Much Does Cellulite Reduction Cost?

Posted on October 13, 2019 - 11:29 am by simononline

Summertime means being outside, long days, shorts, tank tops, and bathing suits. But for people with the dimpled skin of cellulite, summer means embarrassment and full-coverage clothing despite the heat. It doesn’t have to. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we can help eliminate the appearance of cellulite and “orange peel” skin, so you have the freedom to wear what you want, any time, anywhere, including the beach.

How ThermiSmooth® Works

One of our most effective procedures to reduce cellulite is ThermiSmooth®, a painless laser treatment that goes to the sources of the problem: the fat deposits that shape cellulite, and collagen. Collagen is the skin’s greatest support system. As we age, we produce less of it, taxing the collagen we do have, and causing it more strain. The result is a melted or lumpy look.

ThermiSmooth®’s Radiofrequency (RF) heat is dual purpose. At the surface, the laser RF energy reconstructs collagen fibers and stimulates the body to produce more, firming loose or sagging skin for a tighter appearance. Additionally, RF energy boosts circulation to underlying tissues so the collagen produced is healthier and stronger. RF energy’s second target is the fat pockets causing dimpling in the deeper dermal layer. ThermiSmooth® heat penetrates fat cells, disrupting their membranes to cause cell death. The body naturally takes over, filtering dead fat cells through the lymphatic system, so the cause of your cellulite is gone, leaving behind a smoother, shapelier you with tighter, more youthful skin.

What is the Cost of ThermiSmooth®?

While self-confidence has no sticker price, regaining it doesn’t have to be as expensive as you think. ThermiSmooth® procedures are anywhere from 15-60 minutes in duration, depending on your treatment area’s size. It does, on average, take patients 3-4 sessions to reach their goals, and 6-8 weeks to complete the process. Some practices charge rate per minute, while others offer packages per treatment. According to RealSelf.com, the average range of ThermiSmooth® treatments is $400-$1,500, with an average of $950. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer flexible payment options, so you can put yourself first and invest in the self-confidence you deserve.

What to Expect with ThermiSmooth®

When you go to the source of the problem, it can sometimes take time to see effective results. Patients are advised to give ThermiSmooth® treatments time. Collagen will rebuild. Fat cells will die off and filter out of the body. Both these processes will ramp up in the weeks following your treatment sessions, with the most dramatic results becoming visible around 3 months after you’ve begun treatment. These improvements don’t stop as soon as your treatments end. Your body will continue to produce stronger, more abundant collagen to support your skin, and with a continued healthy lifestyle, those fat cells won’t return either. With no downtime or pain with ThermiSmooth®, the only thing you have to lose is the cellulite.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, patient care is our specialty. We were founded on the principles of caring for the whole patient. We bring only the highest caliber of treatments to our patients, and we pair that with our own proprietary protocols, extensive knowledge, and a holistic approach to treatment.
