Skin Rejuvenation and Maintenance
HydraFacial™
HydraFacial™ does more than just rejuvenate the skin. This non-invasive, refreshing alternative to microdermabrasion, skin resurfacing, and chemical peels exfoliates dead skin cells and eliminates impurities deep within the skin while providing hydration, antioxidant protection, and more resilience — all without excessive discomfort or downtime.
HydraFacial™ uses a multifaceted vacuum-based abrasion tip with a unique spiral construction to remove dead skin cells and other impurities from the skin. Special clinically-formulated serums such as Activ-4™, Beta-hd™, and Antiox-6™ can be combined to help unclog congested pores as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, brown spots, and other hyperpigmentation. The result is supple, hydrated skin with a more refined tone and texture.

Collagen P.I.N.™
The Collagen P.I.N.™ (Percutaneous Induction Needling) is an electronic micro-needling device with controlled depth of penetration that improves skin texture and tone. This treatment triggers new collagen and elastin, which smooths fine wrinkles, shrinks pores and softens acne scars. Collagen P.I.N.™ acts much the same way a fraxel laser does, but without the downtime or complications.
AQUAGOLD/AQUAVIVE
The Aquagold Facial device consists of a chamber for various topical skin products and an array of 24 gold plated needles each no larger than a human hair. The Aquagold procedure targets fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores with microtox in order to improve skin tone and texture. Aquavive uses liquid HA to boost hydration leaving your skin with a luminous glow that will last for weeks. This treatment is perfect for sensitive areas such as peri-oral(around the mouth), peri-orbital (around the eyes), forehead, neck, back of hands, and décolletage. Unlike microneedling the Aquagold micro-channeling system delivers topical ingredients before micro injuries begin to heal. Every Aquagold/Aquavive treatment is customized and personalized for each individual patient depending on their concerns and needs.
FACTOR 5 PEEL
A revolutionary peel formula that redefines the way professional practitioners provide chemical peel services. This patent pending two-step formula addresses common skin concerns in an effective easy to tolerate in-office procedure.
Renew Dermal Solution combines powerful ingredients such as TCA and Kojic Acid with human stem cell growth factors, in a revolutionary two-step treatment. RDS1 Penetrating Solution saturates into the dermis generating warmth as it fights signs of aging. RDS2 Calming Solution applied in step two instantly calms the skin and provides important skin healing ingredients, as human growth factors immediately begin to aid in cell regeneration.
PRF BIOFACIAL
Platelet rich fibrin, or PRF, is the next generation of platelet rich plasma (PRP) which contains very high concentrations of fibrin and white blood cells that have been shown to provide rejuvenating effects for the skin. These effects can enhance wound healing, collagen production, and skin elasticity. We use this treatment to enhance facial volume and increase production of collagen and elastin. You will see an overall improvement of fine lines, texture, and tone. The true benefit to PRF injections is the overall rejuvenation quality to the skin. PRF can be injected alone or in combination with hyaluronic acid fillers.
“Biofacial” is a term coined by Dr. Jon B. Turk to describe full face collagen stimulation through the infusion of PRF via the Collagen Pin. The Collagen Pin is a revolutionary fractional skin micro-needling device. It allows us to have full control over the administration of PRF while promoting a more even absorption of the filler. Our estheticians will use the Collagen Pin to distribute PRF throughout the face, promoting the growth of new collagen and leading to healthier, fuller, younger-looking skin.
At our practice in Manhattan and Woodbury, injectables of all types are available to rejuvenate the facial skin. Dr. Turk is a particular advocate of the Biofacial because it combines two of the most important and beneficial recent advances in skin therapy: PRF and the Collagen Pin. The results are simply among the most impressive and natural looking possible.
THE MERIDIAN NI
Under eye bags, malar edema, puffiness after facial fillers, swelling following facial procedures and cellulite are some of the most difficult issues to treat in a cosmetic surgery practice. The one thing that all of these aesthetic problems have in common is that they involve a dysfunction of the lymphatic system. Traditional therapies have been tried for dozens of years but with little or no benefits to patients.
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels in the human body that works to drain infectious and environmental toxins as well as edema, or swelling, of the tissues as a result of trauma, infection or inflammation. Most current methods of lymphatic drainage include massage with mild suction and are only slightly beneficial for these conditions.
The Meridian NI, which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments such as Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha (opening the Meridian points) and Quigong (increasing energy and oxygen levels) harmonizes four distinct technologies;
Negative Pressure Lymphatic Therapy: Powerful, but gentle, Lymphatic Drainage is achieved by applying negative pressure in a rhythmic sequence. Lymphatic flow increases and toxins are removed from circulation thereby reducing swelling and inflammation.
Far Infrared Therapy: Invisible, deeply penetrating heat wave energy that is associated with increased circulation and deep detoxification.
Negative Ion Therapy: Naturally occurring charged Oxygen atoms that are found concentrated near waterfalls, forests and beaches. The negatively charged Oxygen atom allows Oxygen transport in the bloodstream to be enhanced. This leads to improved circulation and a decrease in inflammation among other benefits.
Magnetic Vibration Therapy: Magnetic Fields are applied to the body resulting in activation of the natural magnetic impulse. This impulse helps to increase blood flow, decrease swelling and decrease stress on the body.
When performed together during a Meridian NI treatment the combination of these therapies produces profound results. Often used after facial procedures or surgeries to improve circulation and decrease edema(swelling) the device can also be used to detoxify and rejuvenate the skin and to improve conditions linked to lymphatic dysfunction such as cellulite. By combining Eastern medicine practices with Western technology, we have been able to address many common, but previously difficult to treat, cosmetic facial and body issues. Meridian NI
Lumecca™
Lumecca is a state of the art IPL (intense pulsed light) device that targets red and brown pigment on the skin. Photo-aging of the face, neck and chest can be rapidly and painlessly treated with minimal down time and incredible results. Freckles, macules, broken blood vessels and other pigment issues can be addressed in 1 or 2 sessions.
