How Long Does It Take To See Sculptra® Results?

Posted on by
Sculptra Manhattan

One of the most common concerns we see at Manhattan Aesthetics is the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and folds. Sculptra® provides an effective, long-lasting way to restore a youthful appearance. This popular treatment rebuilds collagen to create dramatic anti-aging results.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an injectable treatment used to treat facial lines and wrinkles. We use Sculptra® almost anywhere on the face to enhance and smooth your features. It works for fine and deep wrinkles around the mouth and nose, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Sculptra® triggers collagen production to achieve natural-looking results that outlast typical fillers by a year or more.

New York City Sculp Sure

How Does Sculptra® Work?

Unlike typical dermal fillers, Sculptra® does not add immediate volume. It uses a material called poly-L-lactic acid that also has medical and surgical uses. When injected, it triggers cells to begin producing collagen, the structural protein that gives your skin volume and support. This new collagen lifts and plumps lines and wrinkles to make them smoother and less visible.

How Long Does it Take to See Sculptra® Results?

While some people may only need one Sculptra® treatment, others will need two or three. You may start to notice results three to four months after your first treatment. Results will continue to improve for up to six months after your final session. The number of sessions needed depends on how much collagen we seek to restore. Since all of us lose collagen in different ways as we age, Sculptra® offers customizable options.

How Long Do Sculptra® Results Last?

Most dermal fillers fade as the body eliminates the material. Sculptra® results last longer because it causes the body to produce its own collagen. The production of collagen continues for months after treatment. Sculptra® results can last two years or more between touch-ups. Collagen will naturally fade over time, so you will need occasional maintenance treatments to keep lines and wrinkles looking smoother.

Is There Any Downtime With Sculptra®?

Sculptra® treatments only take about 15 minutes, and you can return to your usual activities immediately. You will not require any downtime after your injections. Some people notice minor swelling, redness, or bruising after treatment. You can use makeup to cover this after about four hours, and these effects will fade within a few days.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

Almost anyone makes a good candidate for Sculptra®. Ideal candidates seek natural-looking, youthful results. You can have Sculptra® on the face or body to generate collagen and add volume. Sculptra® is not suitable for use on the lips or around the eyes, but we have other fillers available to treat these areas.

How to Fade Acne Scars

Posted on by
Acne New York City

If acne breakouts have left you with frustrating acne scars, your team at Manhattan Aesthetics can help. Our treatments can fade your scars and restore smoother, more even skin. Acne scar treatment requires a comprehensive approach, so we will develop a customized treatment plan to help you see your desired results.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars develop when acne triggers the skin to produce scar tissue instead of normal skin as it heals. This often happens when acne becomes inflamed. Bacteria from the skin or hands can get into pores and cause larger, deeper blemishes. Some people have a genetic tendency to form scar tissue and develop acne scars. The severity of your acne plays a role, and picking at or interfering with blemishes makes a scar much more likely.

New York City Aerolase, Chemical Peels & Acne

How to Fade Acne Scars

While this is not a comprehensive list of our acne scar treatments, it includes some of our most effective ones. These treatments can remove damaged layers of skin, making scars less visible. 

Microdermabrasion

This treatment uses a diamond-tipped handpiece that gently removes dull, damaged skin cells. As a result, your skin looks immediately smoother and brighter. Microdermabrasion can buff away the appearance of mild acne scarring and discoloration. It speeds up cell turnover to bring healthy new cells to the surface to replace old ones.

Chemical Peels

These highly customizable treatments range from mild to deep. A chemical peel exfoliates the skin’s surface by breaking up dead layers of skin. You can choose a peel that works deeply enough to address your scars with as little downtime as possible.

Vivace® RF Microneedling

This rejuvenating treatment works on the face or body to smooth acne scars, give you a more even skin texture, and eliminate hyperpigmentation. Its collagen-generating powers make skin look firmer and healthier. This system has over 30 custom settings, letting us precisely target acne scarring.

What Results Will I See With Acne Scar Treatment?

You can see some improvements in skin texture after just one or two acne scar treatments. However, most treatments require several sessions to achieve desired results. We will discuss how many sessions you can expect when we review your treatment options.

Is There Any Downtime With Acne Scar Treatment?

Most of our acne scar treatments require minimal downtime. Post-treatment effects can include minor redness, sensitivity, and peeling. You can usually return to work or other activities on the same day. If you have a more intensive treatment, you may want to take an extra day to let any redness fade.

Am I a Good Candidate for Acne Scar Treatment?

We can customize an acne scar treatment plan for almost anyone. Good candidates are bothered by acne scaring and want to get rid of it. If you have active acne, we will work to help you control this before, during, and after acne scar treatment.

What Not to Do After Botox®

Posted on by
Botox Manhattan

In 2002, the FDA approved the world’s first neuromodulator for aesthetic uses. Since then, millions of people have enjoyed a more youthful appearance with Botox®. This wrinkle-smoothing treatment has few, if any, side effects, but your Manhattan Aesthetics injector will recommend some post-treatment strategies.

What is Botox® (Botulinum Toxin)?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that uses a molecule called botulinum toxin to soften and smooth lines and wrinkles. This popular treatment restores a younger, more relaxed appearance. It has numerous uses, including lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet. It also works for deep lines around the mouth and to treat neck bands.

Botox New York City

How Does Botox® Work?

Botox® uses botulinum toxin to interrupt the signals between facial nerves and muscles. The repetitive motion of facial muscles can crease and pull on the skin. The botulinum toxin in Botox® works by stopping the signals from targeted nerves. Without signals to contract, your muscles can relax, making the skin smooth.

What Not to Do After Botox®

Botox® is extremely safe and effective, but you should take a few precautions immediately after treatment. In rare circumstances, Botox® can spread to unwanted areas. You can minimize this possibility by following these tips:

Avoid Lying Down

We will recommend that you avoid lying down for several hours after Botox®. Staying upright helps keep it where it belongs until it has reached its destination. Since most people have Botox® during the day, this is not usually much of an inconvenience.

Hold Off on Exercise

We recommend you put your exercise routine on hold for the rest of the day following Botox®. You can walk or engage in other light activities. However, avoid intense exercise until the next day. This will keep your Botox® from budging.

No Rubbing Your Face

Avoid rubbing your face or using tools like facial rollers for several hours after treatment. Botox® needs time to travel to the nerves and bind with them. Rubbing your face could move it around and cause it to affect other areas.

What Results Will I See After Botox®?

Botox® will reach its targeted destination within four to twelve hours after treatment, and it will not move after this time. You will see results within a few days, with full results taking up to ten days to appear. Most Botox® results last three to four months, although some people may see results for up to six months.

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?

Botox® works safely and effectively for most people. Good candidates for Botox® want to address expression lines and wrinkles. You should not have Botox® while pregnant or if you have certain neuromuscular problems.

What to Expect After an IPL Photofacial

Posted on by
IPL Photo Facial New York City

Aging and sun damage can lead to dull, unevenly pigmented skin. An IPL Photofacial is a skin-rejuvenating treatment. It uses a broad spectrum of light to target a wide range of facial concerns. At Manhattan Aesthetics, this versatile treatment provides clearer, brighter, more even skin.

How Does an IPL Photofacial Work?

An Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial uses light to restore more youthful-looking skin. While a laser uses one wavelength of light, an IPL Photofacial uses a spectrum of wavelengths that can target reddish and brownish pigments. It can also reach into the deeper layers of the skin, triggering cells there to increase their collagen production. Your skin produces less collagen when you age, but an IPL Photofacial can restore youthful levels.

SculpSure Manhattan

What is an IPL Photofacial Like?

Your treatment at Manhattan Aesthetics will start with a cooling gel applied to the skin. A handheld device moves across your skin, emitting pulses of light. The treatment involves minimal discomfort with an occasional tingling or stinging sensation. You can expect your session to last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. 

What to Expect After an IPL Photofacial

An IPL Photofacial is non-invasive and requires minimal downtime. You can resume most normal activities, but you will need to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen. Most people experience some peeling, swelling, and redness that lasts up to a week. You can use gentle mineral makeup to make yourself feel more comfortable with your appearance. Results will usually appear within days and continue to improve for several weeks. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before they disappear.

What Can an IPL Photofacial Treat?

An IPL Photofacial rejuvenates the skin to provide improvements in numerous areas of concern. Because it uses many wavelengths of light at the same time, it can treat:

  • Age spots
  • Uneven pigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Spider veins
  • Vascular and pigmented lesions
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Skin laxity
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

An IPL Photofacial can treat reddish and brownish pigmentation simultaneously, unlike a laser that can usually target one or the other. This treatment can provide significant improvements for people with challenging conditions like rosacea.

What Results Will I See With an IPL Photofacial?

You will start to notice results as soon as any redness and swelling have faded, usually within a few days. You may notice the appearance of pigmented spots change before they fade away. Maximum results develop in three to five months as new collagen forms. Most people need a series of treatments spaced one month apart to achieve their desired results. One or two maintenance treatments per year can help maintain your smooth, even skin.

How to Get Rid of Acne With AviClear™

Posted on by
New York City Aerolase, Chemical Peels & Acne

If you struggle with acne, you may have tried many ways to manage it. A new and extremely effective method is AviClear™, the first energy treatment for acne. This non-invasive laser treatment reduces oil production for long-lasting clear skin without drugs or harsh topical products.

What is AviClear™?

Acne occurs when pores become blocked with a combination of oil, debris, and dead skin cells. Bacteria that normally live on the face can take up residence in these clogged pores, triggering inflammation, redness, and soreness. FDA-cleared AviClear™ stops this process by decreasing oil production. As a result, you can experience fewer, less severe breakouts.

Acne New York City

How to Get Rid of Acne With AviClear™

AviClear™ treats acne using laser energy that targets oil-producing sebaceous glands. It uses a wavelength that only affects the sebaceous glands, leaving the skin untouched. The treatment causes the glands to become less active. As a result, you will see fewer blackheads, whiteheads, and other blemishes. AviClear™ can even treat deep cystic acne by stopping the pore-clogging oil that starts the inflammatory process. You can use AviClear™ with your other acne management products to dramatically improve their results.

What is AviClear™ Treatment Like?

You may feel a mild stinging or heat sensation during your AviClear™ treatment. The AviCool™ sapphire cooling system maintains a comfortable temperature for your skin. Numbing is not required. You will have three AviClear™ sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. After these three treatments, the laser will have targeted all your sebaceous glands.

What Results Will I See With AviClear™?

You will start to notice results as your skin’s oil levels decrease. Over 80% of people who get AviClear™ have a significant acne improvement within three months. You will notice that you break out less often, and any breakouts that occur will be shorter and less severe. Most people still have noticeably less acne after nine months or more.

Is There Any Downtime With AviClear™?

AviClear™ has none of the side effects of acne medications. You can resume your usual activities after treatment. Mild redness and swelling can last a day or two, and some people experience a breakout a week or two after treatment. This will be less noticeable after the second and third treatments.

Am I a Good Candidate for AviClear™?

AviClear™ is safe and effective for almost anyone. It is FDA-cleared to treat mild to severe facial acne on all skin tones. With no downtime and quick 30-minute treatments, AviClear™ fits into any schedule. Anyone who wants to reduce acne breakouts may be a good candidate.

What is Body Contouring?

Posted on by
CoolTone Manhattan

Even people who lead a healthy lifestyle can find themselves with specific areas that are difficult to slim and tone. Body contouring can improve these areas by removing fat and increasing muscle. These methods provide the boost you need to reach the sculpted look you’ve worked to achieve.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring works in one of two ways. Some types remove targeted areas of fat, while others tone and build muscle mass. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we can use one or both types of body contouring to help you achieve the best results. 

New York City SculpSure

How Does Body Contouring Work?

The following methods of body contouring all provide excellent results. Your provider will recommend one that will help you reach your goals.

SculpSure®

Using laser energy, SculpSure® heats fat cells to disrupt and damage them. The laser does not affect your skin, so you will not need any downtime. You can lose up to 25% fat in the target area over about six weeks.

TruSculpt® 3D

Radiofrequency energy can penetrate the deeper layers of fat to produce maximum fat removal. TruSculpt® 3D works by using this radiofrequency (RF) energy to break up stubborn areas of fat so the body can remove them. 

TruSculpt® ID

Unlike most other body contouring methods, TruSculpt® ID can be used even if your BMI is 30 or above. It uses radiofrequency energy to damage fat cells, letting even people with high BMI target areas of fat that bother them the most.

EmSculpt® NEO

EmSculpt® NEO is the first treatment to use High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Field (HIFEM) & Radiofrequency (RF) energy for muscle toning. These sessions yield the same results as 12-16 weeks of HIIT, making EmSculpt® NEO an excellent option for busy people who don’t have as much time as they want to spend in the gym.

CoolTone™

Using magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS), CoolTone™ stimulates muscle contractions to tone and build targeted muscles. This form of energy penetrates deeply into the muscle for more intensive toning and strengthening.

Is There Any Downtime with Body Contouring?

Most body contouring treatments require no downtime. These noninvasive methods do no damage to the skin, so you have no recovery time. You will usually be able to go back to your usual activities after your treatment. The most common effects include mild redness or sensitivity. Muscle toning treatments may result in aching similar to what you would feel after a workout.

Am I a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?

Some body contouring treatments recommend that people get to within 30 pounds of their target weight. Others can treat people with a higher BMI. Before deciding whether body contouring will work for you, let the experts at Manhattan Aesthetics assess your needs.

How Many Units of Botox® Do I Need?

Posted on by
Botox & Fillers New York City

Expression lines and wrinkles can give you a tired or frustrated appearance. You can smooth them away with Botox®, the injectable wrinkle relaxer. Botox® stops the repetitive movements that cause these lines to form, leaving your skin relaxed and even.

What is Botox®?

Over time, almost everyone will develop a few expression lines. They occur in the places where our skin creases when we smile, laugh, or frown. Botox® quiets the activity of the muscles that pull and crease your skin. Without muscle activity,  even deep lines disappear. Botox® lets you look younger, happier, and more refreshed.

Manhattan Botox

Where Can You Have Botox®?

Botox® is FDA-approved for use in these locations:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Glabellar lines (vertical lines between the brows)
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes

Botox® also has many other FDA-approved medical uses. It is also used off-label for other areas such as the nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth.

How Many Units of Botox® Do I Need?

No “right” number of Botox® units exists for any particular application. Facial features, the severity of your lines and wrinkles, and your response to Botox® can dictate how much you will need. In general, most areas require between 20 and 30 units. Men tend to need more than women due to differences in facial anatomy. Deeper lines and wrinkles may also require more units.

How Much Does Botox® Cost?

The cost of Botox® varies by location. The price per unit in New York City ranges from $10 to $20. As a result, 25 units of Botox® would cost between $250 and $500. Schedule a consultation so we can evaluate your concerns and determine how many units you may need.

How Long Does Botox® Last?

Botox® results can become visible within a few days and develop entirely within a week or two. You can expect your results to last three to six months. If you have just started using Botox®, it will usually last three to four months. If you have been using it for a while, your muscles have become accustomed to their relaxed position, and your results can last longer.

Is There Any Downtime With Botox®?

A Botox® appointment can fit into a lunch break, making it an easy and convenient way to look younger. You may have some minor redness or sensitivity in the treated area for a day or two after your injections. You can resume your usual activities after treatment. However, avoid rubbing your face for the next few hours and wait 24 hours to restart your exercise routine.

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?

You may be a good candidate for Botox® if you have expression lines and wrinkles you want to eliminate. Ideal candidates understand what they can expect and have no significant medical problems. You should not have Botox® if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Top 3 Benefits of IPL Treatments

Posted on by
Face Treatments New York City

Do you have skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or spider veins? IPL treatments use light energy to restore more even, youthful-looking skin. This versatile method can treat issues most lasers cannot for complete skin rejuvenation.

What is IPL Treatment?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is also known as an IPL Photofacial. A laser only uses one wavelength of energy, but IPL uses a broad spectrum of light to treat more different skin conditions. The pulses of light travel through the outer layers of skin to target damaged or hyperpigmented areas.

IPL Photo Facial New York City

How Does an IPL PhotoFacial Work?

The multiple wavelengths used by IPL treatment work on various skin issues. Some wavelengths target damaged skin. Others are active against pigmented areas such as sun spots or spider veins. The energy also triggers cells to produce more collagen, a vital support protein that keeps skin firm and youthful. Restoring collagen leads to skin that looks smoother, more even, and more resilient.

Top 3 Benefits of IPL Treatment

An IPL photofacial has several benefits over laser treatments for similar skin concerns. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we may recommend IPL for several reasons:

Minimal Downtime

You can return to your usual activities after IPL treatment. You will need to avoid sun exposure between treatments. You may want to avoid scheduling social events after treatment since your skin may look red and peel slightly. You can return to work after treatment if you wish.

Larger Treatment Area

Since IPL treatments use a broader light spectrum, the applicator can cover a larger area. IPL can be used on the face and body, so the ability to cover larger areas gives IPL an advantage over many lasers.

Treats More Skin Concerns

An IPL photofacial can do almost anything a laser treatment can do, and a few things they cannot. While most lasers do not address reddish discoloration well, IPL makes an excellent choice for treating spider veins, rosacea, and acne redness.

What Results Will I See With IPL Treatments?

Most people need a series of IPL treatments spaced several weeks apart. You can see results starting about a week after your first treatment. During the first few days, you will have some peeling, and dark spots may become darker. Unwanted pigmentation will fade within a few days. You will continue to see improvements for several months as your skin adds new collagen.

Am I a Good Candidate for an IPL PhotoFacial?

Good candidates for an IPL treatment want a clearer, more even skin tone. This treatment works best on light to medium skin tones like many lasers. You may need to wait for treatment if you have an active skin condition or broken skin in the treatment area.

How Long Does SculpSure® Last?

Posted on by
New York City SculpSure

Almost everyone has a few areas of fat that will not budge even with their best efforts. This challenging fat resists diet and exercise, but SculpSure® can help. This treatment contours and shapes your figure by targeting fat cells with laser energy.

What is SculpSure®?

SculpSure® is a non-invasive body sculpting tool that uses laser energy to painlessly break up fat cells. It can target stubborn fat in all the areas that bother people most, including:

  • Abdomen
  • Love handles
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Backs of thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Back fat and bra rolls

Because SculpSure® requires no invasive procedures to eliminate fat, it leaves no marks or scars, and you will not have any downtime afterward.

How Long Does SculpSure® Last?

You may assume that a painless, non-invasive treatment would have temporary results. Fortunately, this does not apply to SculpSure®. After treated fat has been removed by the body, those fat cells will not return. You can keep your slimmer, more sculpted figure as long as you maintain a consistent weight. While fat cells do not come back, the remaining cells can expand if your weight changes significantly.

How Does SculpSure® Work?

SculpSure® offers an excellent tool for those who want to address those few difficult spots that a healthy lifestyle has not removed. SculpSure® uses a laser that passes harmlessly through your skin and targets the underlying fat cells. The laser heats these cells, causing their membranes to break apart. The body’s lymphatic system will filter away the damaged fat cells, leaving the area shaped and contoured.

What Results Will I See With SculpSure®?

Your SculpSure® results take about six weeks to develop. You can see up to 24% of treated fat removed after one session. While some people will feel satisfied with their results after a single session, others will benefit from a second session. The treated area will look slimmer, and your figure will look more contoured and sculpted. Many people get a huge boost of confidence from finally shedding those last bits of resistant fat.

Is There Any Downtime With SculpSure®?

The SculpSure® procedure lasts less than half an hour, and you can leave immediately afterward. You can resume your usual activities, including returning to work. Some people notice that their skin looks red and feels warm after treatment, but this is not uncomfortable and will go away within a few hours.

Am I a Good Candidate for SculpSure®?

Good candidates for SculpSure® are within about 30 pounds of their target weight or have a BMI less than 30. SculpSure® is less restrictive than some other fat removal methods on who makes a good candidate. Ideal candidates have specific areas they want to target and have reasonable expectations.

How Much is Kybella®?

Posted on by
Kybella New York City

A double chin can make you self-conscious, but now you can do something about it. Kybella® is the first injectable treatment that removes your double chin. It works with no invasive procedures and eliminates excess fat for a more contoured chin, neck, and jaw.

What is Kybella®?

Before Kybella®, removing a double chin meant invasive procedures like liposuction or a neck lift. Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injectable for removing submental (under the chin) fat. Kybella® works for moderate to severe submental fat. It shapes and contours your neck and chin, so you look slimmer and more youthful.

Kybella New York City

How Does Kybella® Work?

Submental fat often does not respond to weight loss or exercise, leaving you feeling stuck with a double chin. Kybella® works using a molecule called deoxycholic acid. This acid occurs in the digestive system and plays a role in digesting fats. This synthetic form works similarly on the fat cells in your double chin. It damages the cell membranes, causing the fat cells to break apart. Your lymphatic system will clear away the damaged cells over the following weeks.

How Much is Kybella®?

Kybella® pricing can vary depending on your provider and your location. You can also expect more than one Kybella® treatment, so consider this when estimating cost. An average Kybella® session costs around $1000. How many sessions you need will depend on your response to treatment and how much submental fat you want to eliminate.

What Results Will I See With Kybella®?

Kybella® results start to appear after about two weeks. They will continue to develop for two to three months after your last treatment. Most people need between two and six treatments to achieve their desired results. Fat cells do not regenerate, so your treated fat cells never come back. If your weight changes, the remaining fat cells may cause a noticeable change in your results.

Is There Any Downtime With Kybella®?

Most people experience some bruising and swelling after Kybella® injections. These usually resolve within a few days. You can resume your regular activities after treatment. Some people choose to wait a day or two before resuming social activities to let the swelling start to resolve.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella®?

If you have moderate to severe submental fat, you may be a good candidate for Kybella®. Ideal candidates have isolated areas of stubborn fat under the chin and not much skin laxity. Your provider will review what you can expect from the treatment, so you have reasonable expectations.

Take the Next Step

Ready to learn more about Kybella®? The first step is to come in for an in-person consultation with our expert providers at Manhattan Aesthetics in New York, New York, today.
