Not all lasers are equal. And, while the technology matters, a laser facial in Manhattan is only as powerful as the expertise behind it.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we customize every patient’s laser skin rejuvenation plan, using advanced technologies to target your specific concerns at the source. Led by award-winning facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Steven Pearlman, we don’t settle for “good enough”—you deserve more.
You can unlock personalized recommendations with our virtual tool, but this guide explains the science, strategy, and artistry that make your results uniquely yours.
Halo: A Hybrid Fractional Laser
The Halo laser is a unique hybrid laser that triggers renewal in your skin’s superficial and deeper layers. This dualistic approach to laser resurfacing in NYC allows for highly customized treatment, as we intentionally adjust the settings so the right wavelengths reach the right layer of your skin, addressing concerns such as:
- Discoloration & pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Scars, including acne scars
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
What to Expect From Halo
A Halo treatment takes about an hour. Before your session, we apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort.
You may experience minor swelling or redness for a few days, but downtime is typically less than a week. While some patients achieve optimal results from a single Halo treatment, others may require an additional session or two. Your results can last up to a year—or longer with maintenance treatments.
Moxi: A Gentle, “Prejuvenating” Laser
Unlike Halo, the Moxi laser only uses non-ablative wavelengths, which do not break the skin’s surface—but that doesn’t mean it’s not effective. Designed to refresh your skin with minimal downtime, Moxi targets early signs of skin aging by gently boosting collagen production and supporting healing, ideal for:
- Minor discoloration
- Sun damage
- Early fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Texture irregularities
What to Expect From Moxi
A Moxi laser facial in Manhattan takes less than 20 minutes, seamlessly integrating into your routine. Mild redness or flaking, similar to that of a minor sunburn, may occur but resolves within a few days.
You’ll begin to see improvements as soon as your skin heals, with your results building for months after each treatment. Most patients achieve optimal results from a series of 3 treatments, each spaced about a month apart, and enjoy ongoing results with annual touch-ups.
Cutera Excel V: Redness & Pigment Correction
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we use Cutera Excel V as a gentle yet powerful spider vein treatment. Using this dual-wavelength technology, we target the blood vessels and melanin deposits responsible for:
- Broken capillaries
- Cherry angiomas
- Deep reticular (blue) leg veins
- Hemangiomas
- Rosacea
- Superficial face veins
What to Expect From Cutera Excel V
We offer quick and comfortable treatment with the Cutera Excel V laser, with each session taking 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients achieve the most dramatic results from a series of 2 to 3 treatments, but your timeline depends on the size, color, and number of veins you wish to treat.
Mild redness or tenderness may occur, but resolves within 48 hours. As the treated blood vessels collapse and pigment clusters dissipate, you’ll see your skin gradually clear.
BBL HERO: A Versatile Light Therapy
Our IPL photofacial uses BBL HERO technology—the most advanced form of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy on the market. While BBL looks similar to a laser, it’s technically a light-based facial rather than a laser facial.
In Manhattan, our providers harness the power of broadband light waves to stimulate cellular repair, offering fully customized treatment for:
- Acne
- Broken capillaries
- Brown & red spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
- Uneven skin tone
Studies show that, uniquely, BBL doesn’t just make your skin cells appear younger. It changes your skin cells’ gene expression, making your skin behave younger.
What to Expect From BBL HERO
A facial treatment with the HERO device typically takes about 30 minutes, but body treatments may take up to 60 minutes.
While most patients notice visible improvements within a few days of their first treatment, our professionals often recommend a series of 3 sessions to support lasting changes.
CO2 Laser: A Deep Resurfacing Laser
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly customizable treatment, ranging from light peels to deep resurfacing. By creating thousands of microscopic injuries on your skin’s surface, we initiate your skin’s healing response to treat concerns such as:
- Blotchiness
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Mild laxity (sagging)
- Surgical or acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
What to Expect From the CO2 Laser
Treatment typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, and depending on the intensity of your session, we may administer topical or oral sedation. Your recovery timeline also varies based on your plan, with light peels requiring 1 to 3 days of downtime and aggressive resurfacing taking up to 7 days.
While not an exact replacement for a facelift, this advanced laser facial in Manhattan can provide impactful results. Patients achieve noticeably smoother and firmer skin and a more lifted appearance—without the downtime of surgery.
Contour TRL: Tunable Laser Resurfacing
As a versatile fractional CO2 laser, Contour TLR gives you control over your skin’s transformation. Performed exclusively by Dr. Pearlman, this advanced treatment uses tunable laser technology to address skin concerns on the face and body, including:
- Fine lines
- Deep facial wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
- Scarring
- Pigmented lesions
- Skin laxity (sagging)
What to Expect From Contour TLR
After Dr. Pearlman performs an in-depth skin analysis, he designs your unique treatment plan, determining the optimal treatment depth. Some patients may achieve their desired results after a single 30- to 60-minute treatment, but depending on your situation, we may recommend additional sessions—each strategically scheduled to allow your skin time to heal and respond. For your comfort during deeper treatments, an anesthesiologist provides more advanced sedation.
Downtime varies based on the intensity of treatment, but typically ranges from 3 to 7 days.
