Laser Therapy (HILT) in New York City

Carbon laser facial (Hollywood Peel) using a Q-Switch Nd-YAG laser applied over a thin layer of liquid carbon gel to exfoliate, reduce pore size, improve skin tone, and address mild acne and pigmentation. The carbon particles absorb laser energy and vaporise on contact, mechanically exfoliating the skin and delivering heat into the follicular openings. No downtime — skin appears immediately brighter and more refined. Popular pre-event skin treatment.

Juva Skin and Laser Center offers advanced laser treatments including fractional CO2 and erbium resurfacing, Fraxel, IPL photofacials, PicoSure laser tattoo removal, and ClearLift non-ablative rejuvenation.

The laser portfolio covers both ablative and non-ablative options to match patient downtime preferences and skin concerns.

Clear + Brilliant dual-wavelength fractional non-ablative laser (1440 nm and 1927 nm) for skin tone and texture maintenance, pore size reduction, early fine line prevention, brightening, and mild pigmentation correction. Total session time approximately forty-five minutes including numbing cream. Four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart recommended. Minimal downtime — mild sandpaper texture and redness resolve within three to five days.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy to target hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, vascular redness, sunspots, and uneven skin tone on the face, neck, and chest. Broad-spectrum filtered light selectively targets melanin and oxyhemoglobin, breaking down pigment and reducing redness with minimal downtime. Sessions run approximately thirty minutes. Standard pricing $500 per session, with a 3-pack available at $1,350.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial to target sun damage, age spots, freckles, diffuse redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. Broad-spectrum filtered light selectively heats melanin and oxyhemoglobin chromophores to clear pigmentation and vascular lesions without ablating the skin surface. Sessions run up to thirty minutes with minimal downtime. A series of three to five sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for progressive improvement.

Tribeca MedSpa is recognised by device manufacturer Sciton as the number-one Moxi and BBL provider in New York City. Moxi is a non-ablative 1927 nm fractional laser delivering gentle skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, improving overall skin tone, texture, and early sun damage. BBL (BroadBand Light) is a broadband IPL platform using intense pulsed light to address pigmentation, vascular lesions, redness, and rosacea. The clinic also offers Fraxel laser resurfacing and Laser Genesis for deeper resurfacing and skin quality. Treatments are delivered by clinicians trained on Sciton platforms, in a supervised setting led by a board-certified dermatologist.

Picofy picosecond laser by InMode for pigmentation correction, skin rejuvenation, melasma, freckles, age spots, and acne scar remodelling. Ultra-short picosecond pulses generate photoacoustic shattering of pigment granules with less heat than nanosecond lasers, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Two to six sessions recommended depending on the condition treated. Minimal downtime.

The LaseMD Ultra by Lutronic is a thulium fiber laser that resurfaces the skin at a microscopic level, creating thousands of micro-treatment zones in the epidermis and superficial dermis to stimulate collagen regeneration and improve skin tone, texture, pigmentation, and sun damage. At $680 per session at Collagen Bar NYC in Gramercy Park, LaseMD Ultra is used to address enlarged pores, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin with minimal downtime compared to ablative CO2 resurfacing.

ResurFX non-ablative fractional 1565 nm laser using Lumenis Stellar M22 technology to improve skin texture, fine lines, scars, and stretch marks without ablating the skin surface. The non-ablative approach preserves the epidermis while creating fractional thermal damage in the dermis to stimulate collagen remodelling. Minimal downtime — redness resolves within twenty-four hours. Three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are recommended.

Laser tattoo removal using the Picofy picosecond multi-wavelength laser by InMode to shatter tattoo ink particles across a broad colour spectrum including black, dark blue, red, and other colours. Ultra-short picosecond pulses create photoacoustic shattering of ink particles that the immune system clears over subsequent weeks. Six to ten or more sessions are typically required, spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow clearance between sessions. Performed by board-certified dermatologists at Park Avenue Dermatology.

Neinstein Plastic Surgery offers two laser skin resurfacing modalities with published pricing: the Lutronic Ultra non-ablative fractional laser for skin texture and tone improvement with minimal downtime, and CO2 fractional laser resurfacing for more intensive treatment of surface photoageing, fine lines, and pigmentation irregularity. Both treatments can be combined with Secret RF Microneedling in a single session for patients seeking synergistic dermal remodelling at multiple tissue depths.

Fraxel Dual fractional laser using 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths to address fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, melasma, age spots, and uneven skin texture. The 1927nm wavelength targets superficial pigmentation and the epidermis; the 1550nm wavelength penetrates deeper to remodel collagen in the dermis. Fractional delivery creates columns of thermal injury surrounded by intact skin for faster healing. Sessions run twenty to thirty minutes with one to three days of mild downtime.

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing at 10,600nm wavelength for moderate to severe skin concerns including deep acne scars, significant wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and textural irregularities. More aggressive than Fraxel with greater collagen remodelling depth. Fractional delivery limits downtime to three to seven days versus the weeks required for fully ablative CO2. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes. Typically one to three sessions recommended.

JECT's signature Moxi + BBL combination laser pairs Sciton's Moxi non-ablative 1927 nm resurfacing laser with BroadBand Light (BBL) for a synergistic skin rejuvenation treatment addressing texture, tone, pigmentation, and redness in a single session.

Optional PDRN growth-factor add-on for $400.

Fractional ablative CO2 laser resurfacing using the eCO2 Plus system to treat deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scars, surgical scars, and skin texture irregularities.

CO2 laser resurfacing using the Lumenis UltraPulse platform to address deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and coarse texture. The UltraPulse offers Active FX (superficial), Deep FX (deeper dermal penetration), and Total FX (combined) settings.

The right device and protocol are selected at consultation based on skin type, Fitzpatrick scale, and downtime tolerance.

Dr. Susan Bard offers a range of energy-based skin treatments at her Manhattan dermatology practice, including laser skin tightening using laser, radiofrequency, and ultrasound modalities, intense pulsed light (IPL) for sunspots, rosacea, spider angiomas, age spots, and unwanted hair, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancerous and pre-cancerous skin conditions. Skin tightening sessions run 30–60 minutes with treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart, making them suitable for patients aged 30–60 with mild to moderate skin laxity. IPL sessions take approximately 20 minutes and similarly require multiple visits for optimal results.
