Med Spa & Esthetician in Queens, NY

An esthetician is a licensed skin-care professional who works on the surface of healthy skin. That means facials, peels, extractions, waxing, and lash and brow services, plus advice on what to use at home.

No. New York allows only licensed medical professionals to inject Botox, such as physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses working under a medical order. Here, your injections are given by Inna, RN.

That depends on the state and on the device. Anything that pierces the skin goes past a basic facial, so ask who will do your microneedling, how they were trained and whether a medical professional oversees the work.

In many states they can, once they're trained on the device. New York doesn't have a separate state license for people who operate hair removal lasers, so ask about your operator's training, which laser they use and whether it's right for your skin type.

Not with an esthetics license alone. In New York, nail work is its own licensed specialty, so a licensed nail specialist or cosmetologist does manicures and pedicures.

Small milia near the surface often come out during a professional facial. If they're deep or stubborn, and especially if they sit close to the eyes, have a dermatologist take them out.

New York's esthetics course is 600 hours, and after it you take a written and a practical state exam. If you study full time, expect to finish in four to six months.

Most people use the two spellings for the same job. Some clinics keep aesthetician for skin specialists who work in a medical setting, like a med spa, next to nurses and doctors.

A dermatologist is a medical doctor. They diagnose and treat skin disease and can prescribe medication. An esthetician looks after the cosmetic side of healthy skin with facials, exfoliation and hair removal.

Often they do. The dermatologist handles medical problems such as severe acne or suspicious moles, and the esthetician keeps the skin in shape between appointments with facials and a home routine the doctor has approved.

That comes down to the treatment, the area and how many sessions you need. One facial costs much less than a full laser course. Our prices page gives a starting price for every service, and you'll get the total at your consultation.

Walk out if injections are on offer without a licensed medical professional, if you get no consultation, health questions or consent form, if supplies aren't clean and single-use, or if nobody gives you a clear price until you're already in the chair.

A med spa is only as safe as the people working there and the rules they follow. New York lets only licensed medical professionals give Botox and fillers, so ask who's treating you and which license they hold. A real consultation, clean rooms and written aftercare are good signs.

If you already book the same thing every month, like a facial, a membership can save you money. When your visits are irregular or you're still trying things out, paying as you go or for one planned course is usually easier. Ask what happens to credits you don't use.

Most med spas pair estheticians, who handle facials, peels and skin care, with laser specialists and licensed medical professionals like nurses, physician assistants or doctors, who give injectables under New York rules. Plenty also have permanent makeup artists and lash technicians on staff.

We're open Sunday to Friday, 10am to 6pm, closed Saturday. If you want to check a time or ask about an appointment before you come in, call (718) 215-9428.

You can pay by credit or debit card, NFC mobile payment or cash. For longer courses we take Cherry and CareCredit financing. Afterpay and Klarna aren't accepted at the moment.

Under New York law, only a licensed medical professional may give Botox or fillers. At our studio that's Inna, RN, and you're welcome to ask about credentials when you come in for your consultation.

Write down any medications, allergies and skin products you use, and bring your questions. We go over all of it at the consultation, before any treatment starts.

When they're put on properly, extensions won't harm your natural lashes. Trouble comes from lashes that are too heavy, rough removal or picking at them, so stick to the aftercare and let your lash artist take them off.
