What is SculpSure®?

Sculpsure® is an FDA-approved treatment that works by targeting localized areas of fat using laser energy. The laser delivers short, intense light pulses to the SculpSure applicator tip, placed over the treatment area, to melt fat cells away.

One procedure takes less than 30 minutes and can target multiple areas at once. SculpSure® is a non-invasive procedure that can help reduce fat.

How Much Does SculpSure Cost?

According to Healthline.com, the average cost of SculpSure® was $1,458 in 2016. However, this cost depends on several factors such as:

The size of the treated area
Number of applicators used during the procedure
Your geographical location

Manhattan Aesthetics often runs specials for SculpSure treatment packages. These specials can sometimes be as low as $200/applicator. This means treatment for a small area would be approximately $400, and a medium treatment area being approximately $800. The best way to determine your specific final costs is to schedule a consultation with the SculpSure experts at Manhattan Aesthetics.

What are the Benefits of SculpSure®?

SculpSure® is a laser-based treatment that has many advantages such as:

It eliminates fat cells
It is an FDA approved procedure
No downtime after the treatment. You can quickly return to your regular activities after the treatment
It is a painless and scarless procedure
Its results are natural and long-lasting

Am I a Candidate for SculpSure®?

SculpSure® is not suitable for all patients. Patients with a BMI of greater than 35 may not be candidates to undergo SculpSure treatments due to the potential risk of fat necrosis, otherwise known as fat death.

All other patient types are eligible to receive SculpSure® treatments. However, you should bear in mind that SculpSure® is not a weight-loss treatment.

What is Sculptra® Used For?

Posted on September 13, 2021 - 7:21 pm by simononline

Sculptra® can be a great non-surgical option for those with nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or other areas of the turkey neck. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer Sculptra® to treat some prevalent concerns. It’s one of our top treatments, particularly for candidates that are hoping to look younger.

Sculptra Manhattan

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a popular treatment that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and folds on the face. Dr. Alan J. Tannenberg created it in 1990, and it has been approved for use in many countries around the world since then.

Sculptra® injections consist of poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, leading to smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and folds over time and increased elasticity and thickness. The treatments can also increase your lip volume by about 20%.

Unlike other fillers such as collagen or fat, Sculptra® can be injected selectively into deep lines around the mouth and nose to create a more natural look.

Furthermore, adding volume to the face also helps counter any wrinkles or fine lines. In essence, they get filled in and smoothed out by the dermal filler, giving your face a much more youthful appearance.

Where Can Sculptra® Treatments be Applied?

Sculptra® is primarily used around the face to diminish facial wrinkles and treat small lines and other wrinkles around the nose and mouth and chin wrinkles. It is used primarily on the face, neck, chest, and chin areas. However, Sculptra® is not suitable for use on the eyes or lips.

This treatment provides a long-lasting alternative to surgery for restoring facial volume and contour. The collagen in Sculptra® improves the health of your skin.

What Results Can I Expect After a Sculptra® Treatment?

Sculptra® has many benefits which can last up to 3 years! After your treatment, you will notice:

Improved Facial Contours will give you a more youthful appearance by making your lips fuller and cheeks rounder or more sculpted.
The disappearance of wrinkles and age spots.
A smoother skin texture and a more youthful glow to your complexion.

Is There Any Downtime After A Sculptra® Treatment?

There is no downtime required after a Sculptra® treatment. You can return to your regular activities afterward.

Am I A Good Candidate For Sculptra®?

You should consider Sculptra® if:

Your face is sunken, and you’d like to improve its appearance
You want an anti-wrinkle treatment
You have facial asymmetry, facial scars, and deep acne
You have loose skin

What is RF Microneedling?

Posted on September 2, 2021 - 7:21 pm by simononline

RF Microneedling is a procedure that uses an electrical device to create tiny wounds on the surface of the skin, which stimulates new collagen production. During the procedure, the microneedles emit radiofrequency (RF) energy that encourages even more collagen synthesis and deeper restoration.

RF Microneedling Manhattan

What is RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure where small needles are used to create microscopic channels in the skin while emitting RF energy into the tissue. This creates an increase in blood flow and oxygen which stimulates collagen production, thereby reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as improving the elasticity of the skin.

It also boosts the natural production of growth factors required for tissue regeneration. RF microneedling can be used for a variety of skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, atrophic scarring, and psoriasis.

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

RF Microneedling causes controlled damage to the skin with microneedles that create tiny channels in the skin. The RF energy creates a further disruption of the tissue. This disruption causes the body to flood the area with healing factors.

The skin immediately begins to repair the damage with new collagen, creating fuller, tighter skin that looks more lifted and energized. RF energy will only damage the small area of targeted tissue, so this procedure is very safe and widely used to address acne scars, lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.

The RF Microneedling process typically takes about an hour to complete. The first step is to clean the skin with an antiseptic to help prevent infection. Next, numbing cream is applied in order to reduce any discomfort from the treatment.

The treatment is then carried out by a trained professional who uses an electric device to create channels in the skin with tiny needles that penetrate just below the surface, without breaking or damaging it. The treatment is not painful, and patients report feeling a sensation similar to snapping the skin with a rubber band.

What Results Can I Expect From RF Microneedling?

After RF microneedling treatment, the skin regenerates into smoother, more resilient, younger-looking skin. Scarring, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and the appearance of enlarged pores will all improve or resolve with treatment.

The procedure should take about 30-45 minutes, with a bit of extra time for the numbing treatment to take effect. You can expect to see results after three to six months of treatment as the body rebuilds its new collagen structure. We recommend at least three sessions, each several weeks apart, for the best results, followed by yearly maintenance treatments to maintain your amazing skin-illuminating results.

Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?

Almost anyone in good general health may benefit from RF microneedling. People who have active breakouts or sores, people who are pregnant, or those who have a history of poor wound healing or scar development may not be good candidates.

What is CoolTone®?

Posted on August 24, 2021 - 8:18 am by simononline

Improving muscle tone and definition is a difficult task for many people. The ‘formula’ for doing this is simple – eat well, exercise regularly – but you can still struggle to see the desired results after working hard and putting in a lot of effort. It is particularly irritating to see specific muscles struggling to tone up and grow, despite your best efforts.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we have a treatment that could put an end to worries like these. With CoolTone®, you can improve muscle firmness and tone after just a few treatments.

CoolTone Manhattan

CoolTone® Overview

CoolTone® is a unique treatment method that falls under the category of body sculpting. It is developed by the makers of CoolSculpting®, and the primary aim is to help tighten your muscles, make them firmer, and improve overall muscle tone in the treatment areas.

Most importantly, CoolTone® is not seen as an alternative to living a healthy life and exercising regularly. Instead, it is used to add to the results you have already seen, helping you reach the next level with some extra assistance.

How Does CoolTone® Work?

This treatment works by using Magnetic Muscle Stimulation technology (MMS). It is unique to CoolTone®, and it delivers magnetic intensity through the different layers of skin and fat, targeting your muscle fibers. As a result, this elicits involuntary muscle contractions that simulate those made during an exercise routine.

Consequently, your body feels these contractions and begins to strengthen the muscle fibers, allowing your muscles to deal with them. This is one of the fundamentals of muscle growth, making the muscles firmer and larger, creating a more toned appearance. Each treatment can last between 1-2 hours depending on the intensity and the area(s) treated.

CoolTone® Results

CoolTone® produces results that are easy to see within just four treatments. Much like regular exercise, CoolTone® works with time and repetition – the more treatments you have, the more defined the results will be. Most candidates see improvements in their muscle tone after 3 weeks, with their muscles getting tighter and more sculpted with each additional session.

CoolTone® Benefits

The benefit of this treatment is that CoolTone® is completely non-invasive, non-painful, and delivers excellent results with no side effects. At most, the average candidate experiences some muscle soreness afterward, but this is normal given the nature of the treatment.

CoolTone® is also a fantastic treatment to try if you want to target specific muscles that are lagging behind the rest of your body. Typically, many candidates use it to tighten and define the abs, or to firm and lift up the buttocks.

Best Candidates for CoolTone®

CoolTone® treatments may appeal to you, but are you a good candidate for them? This treatment is not an alternative to hard work and good dieting – it is supplementary. You will be a great candidate if you have a good lifestyle, are close to your ideal weight, but need some extra help toning specific parts of your body.

How Long Does Sculptra® Last?

Posted on August 15, 2021 - 8:52 am by simononline

In the cosmetic treatment industry, few procedures are as popular as injectable fillers. For many, they represent an affordable and effective way of seeing great results to address various common aesthetic concerns. Manhattan Aesthetics boasts a plethora of dermal fillers for you to try, including both Juvederm® and Restylane® – two of the most popular on the market.

Additionally, we provide Sculptra® injections, which are a unique kind of dermal filler. With any dermal filler, it will not last forever. So how long will your Sculptra® results last?

Sculptra Manhattan

Sculptra® Overview

The majority of injectable fillers are predominantly made from hyaluronic acid. What makes Sculptra® unique is that it is made from poly-L-lactic acid. This product can treat some of the most obvious signs of aging. Marionette lines around the mouth, wrinkles in the nose region, and many other concerns can be treated with Sculptra® injections.

Sculptra® works by stimulating collagen production in your skin, providing more structure to the surrounding area. As you age, collagen production begins to decrease, which is why you get wrinkles or fine lines as the skin loses laxity. Sculptra® looks to address this, helping your body produce collagen for a long time after the treatments have been carried out.

Sculptra® Average Duration Time

How long will Sculptra® provide anti-aging benefits for you? Clearly, the duration time varies from candidate to candidate depending on how severe your signs of aging are.

Still, it is generally considered that most Sculptra® treatments will provide results that last for up to 3 years. This is typically seen after at least 3 treatments over a 3-4 month period. Of course, you may need more or fewer appointments, it depends on how much collagen you have lost. This will be discussed at length during your consultation.

Benefits and Applications for Sculptra® Dermal Filler

Sculptra® will actively help you reduce the signs of aging. Primarily, it is used in your face, treating common problems such as:

Nasolabial folds
Chin lines
Chin wrinkles
Forehead lines
Hollow temples
Marionette lines

What sets it apart from other dermal fillers is the poly-L-lactic acid. Sculptra® will naturally increase collagen production, but this continues to happen long after the injections have been done. Your body will replace lost collagen, which is why the results last for such a long time. These treatments boast zero downtime, minimal discomfort, and minimal to no side effects following treatment.

Similarly, it’s not unheard of to get a Sculptra® Butt Lift, which involves getting injections into your buttocks. Again, collagen production is increased, tightening the skin, getting rid of cellulite, and making your bum look firmer and more lifted.

Am I a Candidate for Sculptra® Dermal Filler Treatments?

Do you feel as though your skin lacks firmness and is showing moderate signs of aging? If so, you could be a great candidate for Sculptra®! This treatment will replace lost collagen to tighten your skin and make it youthful again.

How Long Does it Take Botox® to Work?

Posted on August 3, 2021 - 8:55 am by simononline

Botox® is by far the most recognized injectable treatment in the world. It has been around for decades, offering people the chance to reduce the effects of aging and feel more youthful. There is a lot of misinformation about Botox® that can scare people away from the treatment. Therefore, understanding more about these injections is essential.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we often get questions relating to Botox® injections and how they work. Most of the time, people are keen to understand how long it takes for the treatment to kick in and see results.

Botox Manhattan

Botox® Overview

Before we discuss the effects of Botox® and how quickly they reveal themselves, let’s start by understanding what this injectable actually is.

Botox® is a neurotoxin consisting of botulinum toxin, which is a specific toxin aimed at disrupting nerve signals in the body. When injected into wrinkles, it prevents muscle contractions and helps your facial muscles relax. In turn, this prevents you from making certain facial expressions that often fold up your skin and cause wrinkles.

For example, many people have Botox® injected to prevent frowning, easing the appearance of forehead lines. Relaxing the muscles in your face can make you look younger and also prevent further wrinkles.

How Long Until I See My Botox® Results?

Most people will start seeing small changes 24-48 hours after their injection. Gradually, the effects get even stronger, and you will see the full results in around 30 days. However, the results of Botox® can last for anywhere between 3-6 months before you need a follow-up appointment.

Benefits and Applications for Botox® Injections

Botox® injections will work and they will make you look younger. That’s the main benefit of this injectable; it is proven to work and produce long-lasting results. It’s also non-invasive and FDA-approved, meaning any side effects are either non-existent or extremely rare.

As far as the applications for Botox® go, these injections are mainly used to treat the following:

Forehead lines
Marionette lines
Nasolabial folds
Crow’s feet
Frown lines

In essence, it has used throughout the face. Some candidates will seek this treatment to get rid of any wrinkles or the problems mentioned above. In other cases, Botox® is used as more of a preventative measure. Even if you don’t have visible wrinkles, you can undergo this treatment to prevent them from forming any time soon.

Botox® Candidates

Botox® is a safe procedure when performed by a licensed medical professional.

It is suitable for a broad range of candidates. In most cases, you are suitable for Botox® if you suffer from any of the problems mentioned earlier, or you’d just like to reduce wrinkles and look more youthful.

However, it is recommended that Botox® is only performed on adults. Also, it isn’t suitable for candidates with nerve problems, particularly issues with the nerves in your face. The expert medical professionals at Manhattan Aesthetics will let you know if this treatment is suitable for you or not.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Posted on July 16, 2021 - 7:15 am by simononline

There are many reasons you may want to undertake hair removal treatments. This is something you can attempt at home, but traditional methods of hair removal are time-consuming, risky, and never lead to long-lasting results. Ideally, you want a method that removes as much hair as possible, provides minimal discomfort and creates results that last a very long time.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we believe we have the perfect answer to your hair removal problem with our laser hair removal treatment.

Laser Hair Removal New York City

Laser Hair Removal Overview

Laser hair removal is considered one of the most innovative and revolutionary hair removal treatments out there right now. It is seen as a better alternative to waxing, shaving, or hair removal creams/gels. Treatments are generally very quick, simple to administer and result in minimal pain or discomfort. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we use the most advanced cosmetic lasers to help you achieve your ideal results after just a few laser hair removal treatments.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Naturally, lasers are the main focus of this treatment. It starts by selecting the right laser and calibrating it for your skin color, hair color, and hair thickness. A special handpiece is also selected depending on which area is being treated. When everything is set up, the handpiece is passed over the area, where the laser emits light. This light is then absorbed by the hair follicles in the area, which converts the light to heat. Doing this will mean the follicles become hotter and hotter, to the point where they burn up and destroy themselves.

This leaves you with no follicle anymore, and it only works when the follicles are in the active stage of the growth cycle. Only a small percentage are in this state within a given area of your body, so multiple treatments are needed to ensure as many follicles are destroyed as possible, yielding very impressive results.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is highly beneficial as you are directly targeting hair follicles and removing them completely. In turn, this means the results are as close to permanent as you can achieve from any hair removal treatments. It can take an extremely long time before follicles regrow in a treated area, meaning you could see results that last for years.

Another key benefit is that the treatment is simple and less painful than other options. Some candidates experience mild discomfort and redness following the treatment, but this is nothing compared to the pain of waxing or the redness seen via hair removal creams. You also no longer have to worry about razor burns or other skin irritations caused by shaving.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

We use a combination of different lasers that make it easy for us to treat candidates of different skin colors, hair colors, and hair textures. As such, anyone is a candidate for this treatment if you have any unwanted hair on your body. It works all over the body, including some of the more sensitive and hard to reach areas.

EmSculpt® NEO VS truSculpt® iD: Which is the Best Fat Removal Treatment?

Posted on July 3, 2021 - 9:15 am by simononline

Losing weight is a struggle for many people in the population. What typically happens is a lot of weight is lost rather quickly, but stubborn portions of fat just won’t leave certain areas of your body. You try as hard as you can, but you can’t seem to shake these little pockets of fat. Surgical fat removal is an option, but it comes with numerous side effects, risks, and a long recovery time.

Thankfully, non-surgical fat removal is now more common than ever before. Manhattan Aesthetics offers two options for you to consider:

While both aim to do the same thing, there are differences between them. It’s worth reading up on each option to know which one is the best fat removal treatment.

EmSculpt NEO & truSculpt iD Manhattan

About EmSculpt® NEO

EmSculpt® NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic field (HIFEM) energy to produce muscle contractions in targeted areas of the body. Doing this can build more muscle mass, which in turn leads to more fat loss. In essence, it assimilates the results of working out!

About truSculpt® iD

truSculpt® iD uses a different sort of technology to achieve fat loss results. Here, low-frequency monopolar radiofrequency energy is used to go deep into the adipose tissue and treat the fat pad. Essentially, this energy targets the fat cells and gently heats them so they are destroyed and flushed out of the body.

EmSculpt® NEO VS truSculpt® iD

As seen, both treatments will help you lose fat, they just do so in different ways. truSculpt® iD is more of a body sculpting treatment that only focuses on destroying fat cells and tightening the skin in the target area. It uses technology that heats the cells, leading to mild discomfort in the area as you will feel the heat go to work. Cooling sensations are also applied using a special handpiece, minimizing the discomfort as much as possible.

However, EmSculpt® NEO works in an entirely different way. It forces the muscles to contract, which supercharges your metabolism and helps you naturally burn more fat. Doing this can also disrupt fat cells at the base of the fat pad, meaning they can die and drain through the lymphatic system. Unlike the other option, EmSculpt® NEO doesn’t specifically target spot fat reduction, it focuses more on helping the body gain aerobic capacity to boost overall fat loss.

Benefits of EmSculpt® NEO

The true benefit of this treatment is that it lets you lose fat and build muscle at the same time. Stimulating muscle contractions will help you develop more toned and harder muscles. By increasing your muscle mass, you force the body to work harder to provide energy for these new muscles. In turn, this is what forces you to burn more fat than before, lowering your body fat percentage. Of course, this is all achieved without surgery and with minimal side effects.

Am I a Candidate for EmSculpt® NEO?

As this is a non-invasive treatment, lots of people make good candidates for EmSculpt® NEO. Typically, it is aimed at people within reaching distance of their target body weight who don’t have time to go to the gym and exercise every single day. This treatment can provide the same muscle-stimulating effects of the gym, making it a great supplement to your ongoing exercise program.

What are Qwo® Cellulite Treatments?

Posted on July 3, 2021 - 7:35 am by simononline

Cellulite is a highly common concern for people of all ages. Anyone can suffer from this, and it is a perfectly natural thing to experience. If anything, it is rarer to not have cellulite than to have it! While you shouldn’t feel embarrassed by it, we understand that it can cause you some self-confidence issues. As such, the team at Manhattan Aesthetics has a treatment option that targets cellulite and can provide very impressive results.

Qwo Cellulite Treatment Manhattan

What Causes Cellulite?

Under the surface of your skin, there are fibrous bands of collagen called septae. These bands run vertically between the surface layer of your skin and the tissues beneath. When septae are at their optimal length, the skin stays taught and tight. However, when they start to shrink or aren’t long enough, the skin gets pulled down. This creates a dimpled effect, which is further accentuated by the fat cells in this area pushing out between the fibrous septae bands. As a result, you are left with cellulite.

Septae are likely to shorten when there is a build-up of fat under the skin. This is why many overweight people suffer from cellulite, but it could also be down to your body having a natural predisposition to retain fat in your thighs or buttocks – which are where cellulite is most likely to be found.

Introducing Qwo® Cellulite Treatments

The biggest issue with cellulite is that the fat pushing up to the skin isn’t dietary, so it can’t be reduced through exercise and dieting. Thankfully, we offer Qwo® cellulite treatments as a way of tackling this problem. This is a non-surgical treatment that uses injections to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. After a few treatments, you should see noticeable results that will last for a long time and help you feel so much more confident.

How Does Qwo® Work to Reduce Cellulite?

The science behind Qwo® is what makes it such a revolutionary treatment. You are injected with collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes, which is a combination of two collagenase enzymes that are naturally found in your body. These enzymes are used to target the fibrous bands of septae, breaking them down and releasing the skin from them.

In turn, this stops the skin from being pulled too tight and creating the quilted cellulite effect. It lets the skin relax back to its normal state, smoothing it out and stopping the fat from being pushed through. Depending on the severity of your cellulite, multiple treatments may be needed over an extended period.

Am I a Candidate for Qwo® Cellulite Treatments?

The good news is that Qwo® has been tested and approved for use on people of all ethnicities and skin types. Effectively, if you suffer from cellulite and want to see results that can last for years, you could be a candidate for this treatment. It is seen as a far more effective alternative to all the topical creams and gels out there, and you can enjoy great results without needing any surgery or downtime after each treatment.

How Many Sculptra® Treatments Will I Need?

Posted on June 23, 2021 - 5:09 am by simononline

Injectable fillers are very versatile and come in a multitude of varieties. While most people see the term ‘injectable’ and instantly think of Botox, there are other types of fillers available. Dermal fillers are perhaps the most well-known, with many brands offering special fillers to target frequent aesthetic concerns.

Amongst the brands out there, Sculptra® has been making a name for itself. This is an injectable filler that can be used on numerous parts of your body to deliver rather impressive results.

Sculptra Manhattan

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a filler that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to help reduce deep lines and folds in your face. PLLA is a collagen stimulator, meaning it encourages the body to produce more of this essential protein. Consequently, more collagen means tighter and firmer skin, with more structure to it. This can help to minimize wrinkles while adding more plumpness to an area. Thus, Sculptra® has been used to treat different areas of your body.

Facial Filler

Most people know Sculptra® as a facial filler, as it is very good at dealing with fine lines and wrinkles. The increased collagen production smoothes out these lines, doing an excellent job of reversing the signs of aging. Typically, it is used on these parts of the face:

Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Temples
Chin lines
General wrinkles

Hand Filler

Additionally, Sculptra® can be used as a hand filler. As you get older, the skin on your hands gets very thin and wrinkly, exposing your veins and making you seem much older than you are. By injecting Sculptra® into your hands, it adds more plumpness and volume to the area. Collagen is released, building up more skin cells and restoring a youthful appearance to your hands.

Butt Lift

Lastly, some candidates will undergo a Sculptra® butt lift. When injected into the buttocks, the PLLA boosts collagen production and can smooth out the skin, getting rid of cellulite. Not only that but increased collagen in the area makes the skin a lot firmer, almost lifting the buttocks. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as a liquid butt lift.

How Much Sculptra® Filler Will I Need?

The amount of Sculptra® you need will greatly depend on your specific skin concerns. Someone with minor facial wrinkles will need less Sculptra® than someone with deep lines. In terms of treatments, the average you will need is three sessions over the course of a few months. Again, this can vary, but this is the average.

Benefits of Sculptra®

With this dermal filler, you can restore your youthful appearance and delay the signs of aging. It is also so useful at improving your skin’s structure by encouraging collagen production. A lot of fillers don’t do this, which is what makes Sculptra® stand out from the crowd. There is also no downtime needed when undergoing this treatment, making it convenient and accessible.

Am I a Candidate for Sculptra®?

You are a candidate for Sculptra® fillers if you have any of the issues we’ve discussed throughout this blog post. From facial concerns to aging hands, and even a bum that could do with some extra attention. Sculptra® contains a substance our bodies already produce, so there are no side effects or allergy concerns to worry about.
