Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Face Surgeries - Chin Augmentation Why should I choose New Look New Life for a Chin Augmentation? New Look New Life is dedicated to providing safe, beautiful, and natural-looking results through customized cosmetic procedures. Dr. Kim is highly experienced in providing optimal and natural-looking chin augmentation results. From your pre-op consultation to your post-op appointments, you will always have access to your surgeon. This one-on-one care places New Look New Life far above the rest. Am I a Candidate for Chin Augmentation? The best candidates for chin augmentation surgery do not smoke, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations of their results. This procedure is ideal for individuals with a "weak" or recessed chin who wish to improve their facial balance and profile. What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation? Chin augmentation surgery creates a stronger, natural-looking jawline that is balanced with the rest of the face. Benefits include: Correcting the appearance of a recessed chin. Improving the definition of the jawline. Balancing other facial features, such as making a prominent nose appear smaller. Where Are My Chin Augmentation Incisions Made? Chin augmentation is typically performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Kim makes a small incision just beneath the chin, and the implant is permanently secured to the bone. The incision is closed with removable sutures. This placement ensures that any resulting scar is not easily visible. Should I Combine My Chin Implant With Another Facial Augmentation Procedure? Yes. To achieve overall facial harmony, adult patients often benefit from combining chin implants with other procedures such as facelift surgery, mini facelift surgery, or cheek augmentation. Additionally, chin liposuction (submental liposuction) is a popular combination to further define the jawline. What Will My Chin Augmentation Recovery Be Like? You will likely feel well enough to be up on your feet the night of your procedure. It is common to experience some numbness and soreness in the chin area. Dr. Kim suggests resting and sleeping with your head elevated to ensure proper circulation. While light exercise can be resumed quickly, strenuous activity must be avoided for at least two weeks. Dr. Kim provides all patients with his cell phone number so he can be reached at any time during recovery. Is Chin Augmentation Painful? The surgery is performed under anesthesia to eliminate discomfort during the procedure. Any post-operative swelling, bruising, or tenderness can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. A soft-food diet is initially recommended to minimize strain on the jaw. Will My Chin Implant Surgery Leave Scars? Because an external incision is made beneath the chin, there will be a minor scar. Dr. Kim pays meticulous attention to the size and placement of this incision to ensure it is discreet. Scars fade over time and can be further improved with topical scar creams. What Does Chin Augmentation Cost in New York? At New Look New Life, chin augmentation starts as low as $5,000. The total cost varies based on the chosen implants, anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to help make your procedure more accessible. How should I prepare for my chin augmentation? Patients must stop smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs) for at least 10 to 14 days before and after surgery. You should also arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from our surgical center on the day of your procedure. Can chin augmentation remove my double chin? While chin augmentation adds shape and definition—which can lessen the prominence of a double chin—it does not remove fat. For fat removal, Dr. Kim may recommend submental liposuction in conjunction with your implant.

Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Male Surgeries - Male Abdominal Etching Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life is a premier boutique practice dedicated to providing safe, athletic, and natural-looking results for men looking to improve their physique. Dr. Claudia Kim is committed to understanding your unique aesthetic goals and will work to safely provide you with the highly defined results you have always dreamed of. With New Look New Life, you can feel confident that you are receiving the highest quality care, privacy, and precision when it comes to your body contouring needs. What is abdominal etching with VASER? Abdominal etching with VASER is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that actively sculpts and defines the abdominal muscles. By using advanced VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) technology, the procedure employs ultrasound energy to precisely break down and emulsify fat cells. This allows Dr. Claudia Kim to expertly remove the fat and carve out the natural, masculine lines of your core to create a chiseled "six-pack" appearance. How does VASER technology differ from traditional Liposuction? VASER technology uses ultrasound energy to gently melt fat cells before removal. This allows for far more precise fat extraction with significantly less damage to the surrounding tissues. As a result, patients experience less bruising, less discomfort, and a much quicker recovery time compared to traditional Male Liposuction. Who is a good candidate for abdominal etching? Ideal candidates are men who are already in good physical condition and have strong underlying muscle tone, but struggle with a stubborn layer of fat that obscures their abdominal definition. Candidates should be healthy, not smoke, have realistic expectations, and be committed to maintaining their results through a healthy diet and consistent exercise. (Note: Men with significant loose skin may be better suited for a Male Tummy Tuck). What happens during the consultation for Abdominal Etching? During your private consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will assess your abdominal area, evaluate your skin elasticity and muscle tone, and discuss your specific aesthetic goals. She will then create a highly customized surgical plan designed to achieve the exact level of muscle definition and contouring you desire. Is anesthesia required for the procedure? Abdominal etching with VASER is an invasive surgical procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. However, we recommend general anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort and safety from start to finish. Can I combine abdominal etching with other body contouring procedures? Absolutely! For the ultimate upper-body transformation, many of our male patients choose to combine their abdominal etching with chest procedures. Dr. Claudia Kim can easily perform Gynecomastia Surgery (male breast reduction) or place Pec Implants during the same surgical session. This allows you to achieve a completely sculpted, masculine "V-shape" torso with only a single recovery period! Can the fat removed during etching be transferred to other areas? Yes! VASER technology is incredibly gentle on fat cells, making them perfect for Fat Grafting. Many of our male patients choose to harvest their stubborn belly fat and transfer it to other areas to enhance their masculine proportions. This fat can be used for a Male BBL to add volume to the glutes, or strategically placed to enhance the pectoral muscles. Can I finance my abdominal etching procedure? Yes. We believe that achieving the athletic physique you've worked so hard for should be accessible and stress-free. We offer flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Review our Pricing & Financing information to learn how you can break your investment down into easily manageable monthly payments. How soon can I schedule my consultation and surgery? Taking the first step toward a chiseled core is simple. Because abdominal etching requires a personalized evaluation of your muscle tone, the first step is securing your consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim. If you're ready to take off your shirt with total confidence, you can Book Now online or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your appointment! Will abdominal etching leave visible scars? Because abdominal etching utilizes advanced VASER Male Liposuction techniques, the required incisions are incredibly small. Dr. Claudia Kim strategically places these tiny incisions in the natural creases of your body or inside the belly button so they remain highly inconspicuous. Over time, these small marks naturally fade and become virtually undetectable. Will my "six-pack" results look fake or unnatural? Not at all. The goal of abdominal etching is not to create "fake" abs, but rather to reveal the hard work you have already put in at the gym. Dr. Claudia Kim takes a highly artistic approach, meticulously tracing and highlighting your natural underlying abdominal muscle structure. This ensures your newly chiseled core looks completely authentic to your unique physique. How long is the recovery from abdominal etching? Thanks to the gentle nature of VASER technology, recovery is typically faster than traditional liposuction. Most men can expect to take about one week off from work to rest. You will experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness during the first few weeks, but you will be able to resume your normal daily routine relatively quickly. Do I have to wear a compression garment after surgery? Yes, wearing a compression garment is a vital part of your recovery. This specialized garment minimizes post-operative swelling, helps your skin smoothly conform to your new, chiseled contours, and ensures the etched lines heal crisply. Dr. Claudia Kim will provide specific instructions on how long you need to wear it to maximize your results. Is the recovery from abdominal etching painful? You will be under general anesthesia during the procedure, so you will not feel any pain. During your recovery, it is completely normal to feel tender, swollen, and sore—many men describe the sensation as feeling like they just completed the most intense core workout of their lives. Dr. Claudia Kim will prescribe appropriate medication to keep you comfortable during the initial healing phase. When can I return to the gym and do core workouts? While we encourage light walking immediately after surgery to promote healthy blood circulation, you must pause your rigorous gym routine. Most men can resume light, non-strenuous cardio after two to three weeks. Heavy lifting and targeted core exercises (like crunches or planks) should be avoided for four to six weeks, or until you receive official medical clearance from Dr. Claudia Kim. How much does abdominal etching cost in New York? Because abdominal etching is a highly customized liposculpture procedure tailored to your specific anatomy, the exact cost will vary from patient to patient. In general, abdominal etching starts from $15,000. Your total price will factor in the extent of fat removal required, anesthesia, operating room fees, and post-surgical garments. You will receive a fully transparent quote during your consultation. For more information on financing, visit our Pricing page. Are there non-surgical alternatives to abdominal etching? While a strict diet and intense core workouts are the foundation of a great physique, they cannot always spot-reduce stubborn subcutaneous fat. Non-surgical fat reduction treatments exist, but they cannot provide the precise, targeted sculpting required to carve out the individual lines of your abdominal muscles. VASER abdominal etching remains the absolute gold standard for achieving a truly chiseled, washboard aesthetic.

  • Pec Implants | New Look New Life

    Discover pec implants in New York City. Visit our surgeon in NYC for expert pec implants. Book now! PEC IMPLANTS > Our Services > Male Surgeries > PEC IMPLANTS PEC IMPLANTS IN NEW YORK CITY Throughout history, the desired characteristics of the male form have been consistent: strong arm and leg muscles, chiseled abs, and a defined chest. However, many men struggle with this last characteristic. It doesn’t matter how healthy their diet is or how much they can bench, some men are unable to shape their chests into that muscular form that has become synonymous with male strength. However, there is an answer for men looking to add definition to their chests, and it isn’t found at the gym! Pec implants can help men gain the look and feel they desire for their chests, all while allowing them the confidence to walk around shirtless at the pool or beach. The surgical experts at New Look New Life have years of experience helping both men and women achieve the body physiques they so desperately want. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Male Surgeries - Pec Implants Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life is dedicated to providing safe, handsome, and natural-looking results through customized cosmetic procedures. Dr. Claudia Kim makes you her number one priority and listens closely to your desires and goals. She is there for you throughout the entire process, from your pre-op consultation to your final post-op appointment. At New Look New Life, we take pride in helping men build the masculine, athletic physique they’ve always wanted. What Are the Benefits of Pec Implants? The benefits of pec implants are both physical and psychological. Men who have pectoral implants enjoy the chiseled, broad chest aesthetic that is synonymous with masculine strength. Along with improved chest definition comes a massive boost in confidence. You will no longer have to worry about hiding your undefined chest at the pool, the beach, or the gym. Am I a Candidate for Pec Implants? Candidates for pec implants are men who are unhappy or embarrassed by a lack of pectoral muscle definition despite a healthy diet and dedicated weightlifting routine. Additionally, pectoral implants can help men who suffer from asymmetrically underdeveloped pectoral muscles from birth or an injury. Ideal candidates are non-smoking men who are in good general health and have realistic expectations for their surgical results. What Is Discussed During My Pec Implant Consultation? At your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will listen to your frustrations about your current chest aesthetic as well as your goals for the procedure. You and Dr. Claudia Kim will carefully choose the pec implant size and shape that works best for your frame. If you think you may be a candidate for pec implant surgery, contact New Look New Life by calling (212)-830-6830 or booking your consultation online. How Can I Personalize My Pec Implant Surgery? Pec implant surgery allows men to gain toned definition in their chests that they cannot achieve with diet and exercise alone. This surgery is highly customizable based on the specific dimensions of the implant chosen and typically takes one to one-and-a-half hours to complete. Where Are My Pec Implant Incisions Made? During the surgery, Dr. Claudia Kim expertly places the incisions in the armpit (the axillary crease), right where the two pectoralis muscles meet. This ensures that the resulting scars are completely hidden from view when your arms are resting at your sides. What is the Implant made of? While women undergoing breast augmentation have the choice of soft silicone or saline implants, a highly cohesive, solid silicone material is used for male pectoral implants. This solid silicone replicates the firm, toned feel of flexed, natural pectoral muscles. Will Liposuction Be Used for My Pec Implant Surgery? Male Liposuction is sometimes used during pec implant surgery if the patient has stubborn fat in his chest. The liposuction removes the fat before the implant is placed, allowing the implant to sit flush against the muscle for a more dynamic, chiseled result. What other procedures pair well with Pec Implants? There are quite a few procedures that can be combined with pec implant surgery to enhance your masculine contour. These procedures include: Male Tummy Tuck Abdominal Etching (for a "six-pack" effect) Male Arm Lift Male Body Lift What Will My Pec Implant Recovery Be Like? It generally takes up to six weeks to fully recover from pectoral implant surgery. In the days immediately following the procedure, you will have swelling, bruising, and soreness. These side effects will dissipate over your first week of recovery. Most men can return to non-strenuous desk work after two to three days; however, it is critical that you avoid heavy lifting or strenuous upper-body activity while you heal. Dr. Claudia Kim provides all of her patients with her cell phone number so that she can be reached easily at any time during your recovery. Is Pec Implant Surgery Painful? General anesthesia is used during the surgery, so you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure itself. After the surgery, you will experience some tightness and soreness, but this is easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Will there be noticeable scars? Like any surgery, having pec implants placed requires an incision, which means there will be scarring. However, due to Dr. Claudia Kim's strategic placement of the incisions deep within the armpits, these scars will not be visible on your chest. How Much Does Pec Implant Surgery Cost in New York? Pec implant costs vary with each patient and are dependent on numerous factors, including the size and shape of the implant and whether liposuction is needed to perfect the contour. During your consultation, you will be given an accurate, transparent cost estimate. Visit our Pricing page to learn more. When will I see the results of my Pec Implants? Though you will have some moderate swelling in your chest and will likely be wearing a compression garment to help with recovery, your enhanced chest volume and definition are immediate! Your final, sculpted results will become even more apparent over the next few weeks as the swelling completely subsides. What are the risks associated with Pec Implants? Though you will have some moderate swelling in your chest and will likely be wearing a compression garment to help with recovery, your enhanced chest volume and definition are immediate! Your final, sculpted results will become even more apparent over the next few weeks as the swelling completely subsides. Will I lose sensitivity after pec implant surgery? While you may lose some temporary sensitivity in the chest area due to post-operative swelling, your skin sensation should return to normal after several weeks of healing. Where is the implant actually placed? Your pec implant is safely inserted beneath the pectoralis major muscle, allowing your natural muscle tissue to cover the implant for a seamless, natural look and feel. Will my results look natural? Yes. Because the solid silicone implant is placed beneath your natural muscle, your toned and muscular chest will look completely natural. No one will be able to tell that you had a surgical procedure done—they will just assume you've been hitting the gym! Are my pec implant results permanent? Yes, pec implants provide permanent enhancement. Unlike female breast implants that sometimes require replacement, the solid silicone used for male implants will not rupture or deflate. With a healthy lifestyle, including consistent exercise and a balanced diet, your results will last indefinitely. Can I finance my Pec Implant procedure? Absolutely. We believe that achieving your dream physique should be accessible and stress-free. We offer flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Review our Pricing & Financing information to learn how you can break your surgery down into manageable monthly payments. How do I know what size implant is right for me? During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will take precise measurements of your chest wall and discuss your specific aesthetic goals. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a dramatically broad chest, she will guide you in selecting the perfect implant size and shape that complements your natural proportions. How soon can I schedule my consultation and surgery? Taking the first step toward a stronger, more defined chest is simple. Because every pec implant procedure requires customized sizing, the process begins with a private consultation.

  • Kybella | New Look New Life

    Are you struggling to lose your pesky double chin despite eating right and exercising? That little bit of stubborn fat that resides beneath your chin can often be more difficult to treat than other areas of your body. Even when the inches are falling off your waistline, your face may see little to no change, causing you to feel self-conscious and frustrated. New Look New Life is excited to now offer a new, non-surgical solution to this very problem—it’s called KYBELLA®. KYBELLA > Our Services > Injectables > DOUBLE CHIN TREATMENT IN NYC KYBELLA IN NEW YORK CITY Are you struggling to lose your pesky double chin despite eating right and exercising? That little bit of stubborn fat that resides beneath your chin can often be more difficult to treat than other areas of your body. Even when the inches are falling off your waistline, your face may see little to no change, causing you to feel self-conscious and frustrated. New Look New Life is excited to now offer a new, non-surgical solution to this very problem—it’s called KYBELLA®. Frequently asked questions Injectables - Kybella What is Kybella? Are you struggling to lose your pesky double chin despite eating right and exercising? Stubborn submental fat (the pad of fat beneath your chin and jawline) can often be more difficult to treat than other areas of your body, causing you to feel self-conscious. KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment of its kind designed to eliminate hard-to-treat double chin fat. The secret to KYBELLA® is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected by Dr. Claudia Kim, this safe solution liquefies and destroys problem fat cells permanently without the need for surgery. Am I a good candidate for KYBELLA®? KYBELLA® is an excellent, non-surgical option for anyone having trouble losing excess fat beneath their chin due to genetics, aging, or uneven weight loss. It is important that you are at a stable, healthy weight before considering this treatment. While KYBELLA® powerfully reduces the size of a double chin, it is not intended for large-scale weight loss. How is the KYBELLA® treatment performed? At New Look New Life, we customize your treatment based on your unique anatomy and the amount of excess fat present. Each session takes no longer than 15 to 20 minutes and involves a series of very precise injections into the fat pad beneath the chin. Depending on your goals, Dr. Claudia Kim may recommend a series of up to six sessions spaced about a month apart. In clinical studies, 80 percent of patients saw significant, lasting results after just their fourth treatment! What is KYBELLA® recovery like? One of the main perks of KYBELLA® is that it is entirely non-surgical, meaning there is very little downtime. Many patients come in during their lunch break and return to the rest of their workday shortly after. You can expect some temporary swelling, mild bruising, or numbness under the chin for a few days as the fat cells are actively broken down by the medication. Are the results of KYBELLA® permanent? Yes! Once the deoxycholic acid destroys the targeted fat cells beneath your chin, those specific cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Once your aesthetic goal is reached, further treatment is not expected to be necessary. How does KYBELLA® compare to Chin Liposuction or a Neck Lift? This is a great question that Dr. Claudia Kim discusses with many patients! KYBELLA® is ideal for patients who want to avoid surgery and anesthesia entirely, preferring a gradual reduction in fat over a few months through quick office visits. Chin Liposuction is a surgical procedure that physically removes the fat in a single, one-time session. It is ideal for those who want immediate results with a short recovery period. A Neck Lift is recommended if your double chin is accompanied by severe, sagging skin ("turkey neck"). KYBELLA® destroys fat but does not tighten loose skin. During your consultation, we will help you choose the exact procedure that fits your anatomy and lifestyle! Can I combine KYBELLA® with other facial contouring treatments? Absolutely. Many of our Manhattan and Westchester patients love to combine KYBELLA® with Dermal Fillers placed along the jawline or chin to create the ultimate, sharply contoured "snatched" profile. We can also combine it with Botox & Dysport to smooth neck bands and further refine the lower face. Do you offer financing for KYBELLA® packages? Yes. We believe that investing in a profile you love should be completely stress-free. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through Cherry, CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi. You can visit our Pricing page to learn how you can break your injectable treatments down into easily manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my consultation? Taking the first step toward eliminating your double chin is simple. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to set up your private evaluation with Dr. Claudia Kim!

  • PDRN: Salmon Sperm Injections | New Look New Life

    RN treatment (salmon sperm injections) uses Polydeoxyribonucleotide from salmon DNA to improve overall skin health. Book your PDRN treatment in NYC. PDRN NYC > Our Services > Injectables > SALMON SPERM INJECTION TREATMENT IN NYC PDRN IN NEW YORK CITY Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a breakthrough in cosmetic treatments, renowned for its regenerative properties. Extracted from salmon DNA, PDRN enhances skin rejuvenation by stimulating cell growth, collagen production, and improving microcirculation. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. Used in mesotherapy, PDRN revitalizes and hydrates the skin , making it a popular choice for anti-aging treatments and overall skin improvement with minimal side effects. Frequently asked questions Injectables - PDRN What is PDRN treatment? Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a massive breakthrough in regenerative cosmetic treatments. Extracted from highly purified salmon DNA, PDRN is an injectable "skin booster" that promotes deep tissue regeneration, enhances collagen production, and improves your overall cellular health from the inside out. How does PDRN work? When injected directly into the skin, PDRN acts as a building block for your cells. It actively stimulates cell growth, accelerates tissue repair, and enhances microcirculation. This leads to dramatically improved skin elasticity, deep hydration, and a visible reduction in the signs of aging. What are the benefits of PDRN treatment? Patients at New Look New Life love PDRN for its wide range of skin-healing benefits, which include: Reduced fine lines and deep wrinkles Noticeably improved skin texture and tone Enhanced, "glass-skin" hydration Accelerated wound healing and reduced scarring (including acne scars) Overall vibrant, youthful skin rejuvenation Is PDRN treatment safe? Yes, PDRN treatment is incredibly safe and well-tolerated. Because salmon DNA is highly compatible with human DNA, it is completely biocompatible and carries a very minimal risk of side effects or allergic reactions. Who is a good candidate for PDRN treatment? Anyone looking to improve their skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or accelerate skin healing can benefit from PDRN! It is safe and suitable for all skin types and ages. Dr. Claudia Kim frequently recommends it for patients who want natural-looking rejuvenation without the use of traditional volumizing fillers. What can I expect during a PDRN treatment session? The treatment involves a series of tiny micro-injections of PDRN into the targeted areas of the face or neck. The procedure is minimally invasive, and Dr. Claudia Kim uses a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. A typical session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. How many PDRN treatment sessions are needed? The ideal number of sessions varies depending on your individual skin concerns. However, to achieve the absolute best "glass skin" results, Dr. Claudia Kim typically recommends an initial series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Is there any downtime after PDRN treatment? There is minimal to no downtime! You may experience slight redness or small bumps (like tiny mosquito bites) at the injection sites, but these usually subside within a few hours to a day. When will I see results from PDRN treatment? Initial improvements in hydration and brightness can be seen within just a few weeks. However, because PDRN is actively repairing your cells, your skin will continue to visibly improve over time as your natural collagen production increases. Can PDRN be combined with other cosmetic procedures? Yes—in fact, combining PDRN with other treatments is the ultimate secret to flawless skin! PDRN acts as a massive healing booster. When paired with Microneedling or advanced Laser Treatments like Halo™ or Forever Young BBL™, PDRN significantly cuts down your redness and healing time while doubling your collagen-boosting results. You can also safely combine it with Dermal Fillers during the same visit. How much does PDRN cost in New York City? At New Look New Life, a full standalone PDRN treatment is $1,500 per session. However, because we highly encourage "treatment stacking" for the best results, the cost of adding a PDRN treatment to any of our laser procedures is only $750! Do you offer financing for regenerative treatments? Yes! We believe that achieving the skin of your dreams should be completely stress-free. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through Cherry, CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing page to learn how you can break your treatment series down into easily manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule a PDRN treatment at New Look New Life? Ready to experience the breakthrough benefits of Salmon DNA for yourself?

SKINTYTE II SKIN TIGHTENING > Our Services > Lasers > SKINTYTE II IN NYC SKIN TIGHTENING IN NEW YORK CITY As we go through life, our skin does not look or feel like it once did. Despite diet and exercise, our skin becomes loose, which oftentimes can be embarrassing and make us appear older than we are. Firm, tight skin is possible without the need for surgery or even injections. At New Look New Life, Board Certified Dr. Kim offers SkinTyte II, a noninvasive and no downtime solution for treating skin laxity. Men and women alike in the New York City, Manhattan, and Westchester areas have raved about the professionalism from New Look New Life and the effectiveness of the procedures offered, like SkinTyte. Frequently asked questions Lasers - SkinTyte What is SkinTyte II™? SkinTyte II™ is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to solve skin laxity issues for both men and women. Utilizing infrared light energy, SkinTyte II™ deeply heats the dermal layers to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. As new collagen grows, your skin becomes firmer and more resilient, resulting in a more youthful and contoured appearance without the need for surgery or needles. Which areas of the body can be treated with SkinTyte II™? Because of its gentle yet effective technology, SkinTyte II™ can target just about anywhere you are experiencing loose skin. At New Look New Life, we frequently treat the: Face and Neck Stomach and Abdomen Arms and Hands Thighs and Buttocks Which areas of the body can be treated with SkinTyte II™? Because of its gentle yet effective technology, SkinTyte II™ can target just about anywhere you are experiencing loose skin. At New Look New Life, we frequently treat the: Face and Neck Stomach and Abdomen Arms and Hands Thighs and Buttocks Why choose SkinTyte II™ over other tightening options? If you want to address sagging skin but are hesitant about the downtime associated with body surgeries, SkinTyte II™ is an ideal solution. It offers visible firming results with absolutely no downtime, allowing you to return to your busy NYC routine immediately. Additionally, the system features an integrated cooling mechanism to ensure the outermost layer of your skin remains protected and comfortable throughout the session.

A specialized handpiece is used to deliver pulsed infrared light over the target area. The procedure requires no anesthesia, typically takes less than an hour, and feels like a soothing "hot stone" massage. How soon will I see results? While some patients notice a slight "glow" immediately, the true results appear gradually over several months. This is because the treatment relies on your body’s natural biological process of growing new collagen. Most patients see peak results approximately three to four months after their final session. Can SkinTyte II™ be combined with other procedures for a total transformation? Absolutely. Dr. Claudia Kim often recommends combining SkinTyte II™ with other laser treatments like Forever Young BBL™ to treat both skin laxity and pigmentation at the same time. It is also an excellent maintenance treatment following Liposuction or a Tummy Tuck to further refine and smooth your results. Is SkinTyte II™ effective for "post-weight loss" skin laxity? Yes!

  • Labiaplasty | New Look New Life

    Some women naturally have enlarged labia, while others develop this with age, weight fluctuations, and after childbirth with vaginal deliveries. Stretched or elongated labia can cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness or embarrassment during intimate relations. If you are bothered by the size or shape of your labia and want to reduce their size, you may want to consider labiaplasty. Dr. Rita Shats is a highly trained gynecologist who performs labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and other sexual wellness surgeries at New Look New Life’s Manhattan practice.

Stretched or elongated labia can cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness or embarrassment during intimate relations. If you are bothered by the size or shape of your labia and want to reduce their size, you may want to consider labiaplasty. Dr. Rita Shats is a highly trained gynecologist who performs labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and other sexual wellness surgeries at New Look New Life’s Manhattan practice. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Sexual Wellness - Labiaplasty Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life is a boutique cosmetic surgery practice in the heart of New York City that offers a variety of cosmetic breast, body, face, and sexual wellness surgeries. We are dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and beautiful results through customized cosmetic procedures. Our board-certified expert, Dr. Claudia Kim, will personally tailor your sexual wellness surgery based on your unique anatomy, needs, and aesthetic desires, ensuring your complete comfort and privacy throughout the entire process. What Are the Benefits of a Labiaplasty? Labiaplasty is a highly rewarding surgical procedure that trims the inner labia (labia minora) to reduce their size, eliminate hanging tissue, and correct asymmetry. While non-surgical options exist that can subtly tighten the area, a labiaplasty provides much more dramatic, permanent results. Women undergo labiaplasty to attain the following benefits: Smaller, more proportional, and neatly tucked labia Increased physical comfort when exercising, riding a bike, or having sex Relief from pinching or pulling when wearing tight-fitting clothes, yoga pants, or bathing suits Correction of noticeably asymmetrical labia A massive boost in self-confidence during intimacy Am I a Candidate for Labiaplasty? You may be a good candidate for a labiaplasty if: You experience physical discomfort during activities due to the size of your labia You feel self-conscious or embarrassed about the size or shape of your labia You are in good general health and do not smoke You understand the risks of surgery and have realistic expectations Smoking greatly increases the risk of complications from surgery and hinders proper healing, so it is vital that you are a non-smoker or are able to quit for a few weeks before and after surgery. It is also important to understand that a labiaplasty only reduces the size of the external labia; it does not tighten the internal vaginal canal. If you suffer from internal vaginal laxity, you may benefit from a combination of labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty. What Is Discussed During My Labiaplasty Consultation? Your private consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim is the first step toward a successful labiaplasty procedure. During this highly confidential meeting, she will: Listen to your concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals Perform a brief, comfortable evaluation Explain your surgical options (such as the trim vs. wedge method) Recommend any combination procedures that might benefit you Develop a customized surgical plan If you are ready to reclaim your comfort, contact New Look New Life by calling (212)-830-6830 or booking your consultation online. How Is Labiaplasty Performed? Labiaplasty is performed by meticulously removing excess tissue from each labium. Dr. Claudia Kim typically utilizes one of two highly effective methods based on your anatomy: The Trim Method: This technique removes excess tissue directly along the outer edge of the entire labium to create a neat, uniform appearance. The Wedge Method: This technique removes a “V-shaped” wedge of tissue from the thickest part of each labium, preserving the natural edge (the darker, textured border) while seamlessly stitching the remaining tissue back together for a highly natural look. Should I Combine Labiaplasty With Other Sexual Wellness Surgeries? Yes, labiaplasty is very commonly performed alongside other sexual wellness procedures to achieve a complete intimate rejuvenation. Depending on your needs, Dr. Claudia Kim can safely combine your labiaplasty with a Vaginoplasty, Clitoral Hood Reduction, or Perineoplasty. What Is Labiaplasty Recovery Like? During your recovery from labiaplasty surgery, you can expect some swelling, itching, and general tenderness. We will prescribe medication for any pain, and you can easily manage the itching and swelling at home with cold compresses and witch hazel pads. Dr. Claudia Kim will give you detailed instructions and advice to help ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. Typically, most women can return to a desk job within the first week. You can resume light exercise after two to four weeks, and you can safely resume sexual relations and the use of tampons after six to eight weeks. Is Labiaplasty Painful? Labiaplasty is performed under anesthesia to prevent any pain during the surgery itself. You may develop some discomfort in the hours and days after your surgery, but this is easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication like TYLENOL®. You must avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and NSAIDs while you are recovering, as these medications thin the blood and can increase bleeding. Does Labiaplasty Leave Scars? Any surgical procedure will result in a scar where the incisions were made. However, because the tissue of the labia heals exceptionally well, these scars are incredibly difficult to detect once fully healed. What kind of results can I expect after labiaplasty? Women who undergo labiaplasty are generally thrilled with their results and often say it is one of the best decisions they have ever made! They find that wearing jeans, tight pants, and swimwear is finally comfortable, they have an easier time exercising without pinching or chafing, and they feel significantly more confident and carefree being naked in front of a partner. How Much Is Labiaplasty in New York City? Your labiaplasty is tailored specifically to your personal anatomy and aesthetic desires. Because of this, your labiaplasty costs will vary depending on the extent of the procedure, the type of anesthesia used, the specific surgical techniques required, and whether you combine it with other surgeries. You will receive a fully transparent, customized quote during your consultation. You can also view our Pricing page to learn more. Can I combine my Labiaplasty with a Mommy Makeover? Absolutely. Many women experience changes to their labia after pregnancy and vaginal childbirth. Because of this, a labiaplasty is the perfect addition to a customized Mommy Makeover. Dr. Claudia Kim can expertly combine your intimate rejuvenation with a Tummy Tuck, a Breast Lift, or Liposuction, allowing you to completely restore your pre-baby body with just one recovery period! Do you offer financing for Labiaplasty? Yes! We believe that feeling comfortable in your clothes and confident in your own skin should be completely accessible. We offer flexible medical financing options through trusted partners like CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing & Financing information to learn how you can break your procedure down into manageable monthly payments. How soon can I schedule my consultation and procedure? Taking the first step toward reclaiming your intimate comfort is incredibly simple and entirely confidential. Because labiaplasty is a straightforward outpatient procedure, we can frequently accommodate your surgical timeline quickly. If you are ready to put an end to the discomfort and embarrassment, you can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to secure your private consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim!

  • Body Lift | New Look New Life

    Losing a large amount of weight should be an exciting and positive experience, but it doesn’t always feel that way if you’re stuck with large amounts of excess skin afterward. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons understand that the end goal for many weight-loss patients is to be rid of the sagging, hanging skin that obscures their newly shaped contours. With a body lift, our team can help add the finishing touches to your new slimmer body, providing you with well-toned and natural-looking contours that complement your healthy new lifestyle.

Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Body Surgeries - Body Lift What Is a Body Lift After Weight Loss? A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses excess tissue and fat in patients who have lost extreme amounts of weight, especially those who have undergone bariatric or gastric bypass surgery. For these men and women, exercise cannot eliminate the skin that has lost its elasticity. We customize each body lift procedure to the patient and their unique needs for the abdomen, buttocks, back, and thighs. Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life is a boutique cosmetic surgery practice in the heart of bustling New York City. Our team is dedicated to providing safe, beautiful, and natural-looking aesthetic results that highlight your weight-loss transformation. Dr. Claudia Kim personalizes your body lift to your unique needs and practices one-on-one care throughout your body contouring process. From your pre-op consultation to your post-op appointments, you will always have direct access to your surgeon. This personalized care places New Look New Life far above the rest. What Are the Benefits of Body Lift Surgery? Body lift surgery is performed on women and men to: Eliminate sagging or hanging skin resulting from weight loss Reduce remaining pockets of stubborn fat Tighten and sculpt body contours to highlight your weight loss Expand wardrobe opportunities Increase your self-confidence Am I a Candidate for a Body Lift? Massive weight loss is an amazing accomplishment that should be rewarded with a healthier life and a more confident outlook. For many, the excess skin that remains after weight loss restricts movement, complicates comfortable dressing, and prevents complete enjoyment of the weight loss. Dr. Claudia Kim recommends that patients maintain their weight loss for a minimum of six months to a year before choosing a body lift. At New Look New Life, we pride ourselves on tailoring the safest and most effective cosmetic treatments to each individual patient. We often recommend that patients undergo body lift procedures in two or more stages so anesthesia risks are reduced and the recovery is more manageable. How Can I Personalize My Body Lift? A body lift is a comprehensive body contouring surgery that combines many surgical techniques. Because of this, Dr. Claudia Kim often suggests staggering your surgical procedure, with a lower body lift being performed separately from an upper body lift. What Is a Lower Body Lift? Your lower body lift will likely include a combination of the following: Tummy Tuck: Addresses the abdomen by trimming excess skin, removing fat pockets, and tightening abdominal muscles. Thigh Lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thighs. Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat deposits across the lower body. Butt Lift / BBL: A butt lift removes excess skin around the buttocks and lower back, while a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) reshapes the buttocks by grafting fat taken from elsewhere on your body to create a fuller, shapelier backside. What Is an Upper Body Lift? Your upper body lift will likely include a combination of the following: Breast Lift: Tightens breast skin and tissue to raise sagging breasts. This surgery also repositions and resizes the areolas. Arm Lift: Trims excess skin and fat from the upper arms (brachioplasty). Back Lift: Addresses excess skin folds in the back area. How Is the Body Lift Performed? Dr. Claudia Kim will skillfully make as few incisions as possible, removing excess fat and skin as is suitable for your body. Her dedication to natural contouring and appropriate size reduction will give you the slender, tighter appearance you desire. A total body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed in a hospital setting. Patients who undergo a full, single-stage body lift will spend a few days recovering in the hospital prior to returning home to rest. For patients who choose to stage their body lift procedures, an overnight stay is often not required. What Will My Body Lift Recovery Be Like? Body lift recovery requires one to two weeks of downtime if done in stages. A total body lift requires a significant amount of additional rest and recovery time. You will be provided with a specific recovery plan that takes all of your surgical techniques into account. It is important to rest during your recovery and not push yourself too soon. Failure to follow this could result in a prolonged healing period. Dr. Claudia Kim provides all of her patients with her cell phone number so that she can be reached easily at any time during your recovery. Is Body Lift Surgery Painful? Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you will feel no pain during the surgery itself. Because body lift surgery is extensive, it is expected to develop discomfort and soreness in the days and weeks following your procedure. The extent of this will depend on whether you staggered your procedures or had the surgeries performed simultaneously. Dr. Claudia Kim will prescribe appropriate pain medication to ease any discomfort. Will My Body Lift Leave Scars? Your body lift requires incisions; therefore, the surgery will result in scars. The placement and extent of this scarring will depend on the types of surgical techniques being performed and the amount of skin removed. Dr. Claudia Kim does everything she can to make these incisions as hidden and concealable as possible (such as placing them along natural body creases or below the bikini line). All scars fade with time and can be lessened with scar-fading treatments. What Does Body Lift Surgery Cost in New York? Because a body lift is highly personalized to your needs, the cost of your surgery varies significantly. Our expert team at New Look New Life will provide you with an accurate cost estimate once your customized surgical plan has been determined. This price will include all the techniques combined as well as anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits. You can learn more by visiting our Pricing page. When will I see my body lift results? Whether performed as a total procedure or staged in sections, body lift results are immediate and significant! As with most cosmetic procedures, your enhanced, tighter body will continue to improve as residual swelling goes down throughout the healing process. How should I prepare for my body lift? Body lift surgery is an invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, it is important to quit smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and temporarily stop blood-thinning medication (such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and ibuprofen). Also, patients undergoing body lifts after weight loss must have reached and maintained a stable weight. Because body lift surgery requires downtime, it helps to arrange for help during your recovery. This includes scheduling time off work, arranging for childcare, stocking up on healthy meals, and setting up a comfortable recovery zone at home. What are the risks associated with body lift surgery? Body lift surgery is very safe when performed by an experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Claudia Kim. However, all surgeries carry some risk. These risks may include adverse reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, infection, or bleeding. Proper adherence to recovery guidelines is crucial to prevent wound separation. Are there alternatives to a body lift? During your initial consultation, we listen to your body goals and present you with a range of cosmetic procedures that might be right for you. If you do not require a full body lift, we will give you a thorough understanding of your options, which might include standalone Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Thigh Lift, Arm Lift, Breast Reduction, Facelift, or Neck Lift surgery. Are my body lift results permanent? Body lifts yield drastic skin reduction results that are long-lasting. As the body naturally ages, some skin elasticity will eventually be lost. However, maintaining a consistent weight through a healthy diet and exercise regimen will preserve your stunning body lift results indefinitely. Please note that future pregnancies can negate the quality of your results, so it is recommended to wait on this surgery until you are finished having children. Can I finance my Body Lift surgery? Yes! We believe that completing your weight loss journey and feeling at home in your new body should be accessible. New Look New Life offers flexible medical financing options through trusted partners like CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing & Financing information to learn how you can break your comprehensive transformation down into manageable monthly payments. Can I combine a Body Lift with a Mommy Makeover? Absolutely. Many of the procedures included in a lower or upper body lift are identical to those performed during a Mommy Makeover. Whether your excess skin is the result of extreme weight loss, multiple pregnancies, or both, Dr. Claudia Kim will perfectly tailor a combination of breast and body procedures to restore your pre-baby, pre-weight-gain figure. How soon can I schedule my consultation? If you have maintained a stable weight and are ready to finally shed the excess skin hiding your results, we are ready to help! You can easily Book Now directly through our website, or you can call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to secure your consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim.

Who is this facial best for? The Dew & Glow facial is ideal for anyone struggling with dry, dull, or tired skin. Because it is incredibly gentle, it is perfect for first-time facial clients, individuals with sensitive skin, or those who want to maintain their healthy glow between more advanced laser treatments. Dr. Claudia Kim highly recommends this treatment during harsh winter months or after long flights to combat environmental dehydration! Does this facial include extractions or chemical peels? No. The Dew & Glow facial is entirely focused on profound hydration and boosting circulation. It does not include extractions or aggressive exfoliation. If you are struggling with congested pores, blackheads, or acne, we recommend booking our Fresh Face Detox facial instead. Will I see results right away, and is there any downtime?

Can I get this facial on the same day as my injectables? Yes! A Dew & Glow facial is an incredible way to treat yourself before receiving your Botox & Dysport or Filler injections. However, you should never receive a facial massage after your injectables on the same day, as the pressure could cause your freshly placed products to migrate. Is this facial safe to get after a surgical procedure? Yes, but timing depends on the surgery. If you have recently undergone a Facelift or Blepharoplasty, Dr. Claudia Kim will advise you on exactly when it is safe to resume facial treatments. However, if you are recovering from a body procedure like a Breast Augmentation or Liposuction, treating yourself to a gentle Dew & Glow facial is a wonderful, relaxing way to pamper yourself during your body's recovery downtime! What if I want a facial that specifically targets wrinkles or aging? If your primary goal is to combat fine lines, stimulate collagen, and address visible signs of aging, New Look New Life offers the advanced Time Rewind facial, which uses targeted ingredients to firm and lift the skin. How do I schedule my Dew & Glow facial? Your most radiant, hydrated skin is waiting!

  • Facelift Surgery in NYC: Restore Your Youthful Appearance | New Look New Life

    Looking for a facelift in NYC? Restore your facial appearance and achieve a more youthful look with facelift surgery. Our board-certified plastic surgeons in Manhattan specialize in natural-looking results. Schedule a consultation today! FACELIFT NYC > Our Services > Face Surgeries > FACE SURGERIES FACELIFT IN NEW YORK CITY As we age, signs of aging such as facial lines and wrinkles are inevitable. However, with facelift surgery, you can reverse these visible signs and achieve a more youthful, refreshed look. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts in NYC, we offer facelift procedures that tighten the skin and reposition facial tissues for a smoother, more defined jawline and neck. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a rejuvenated facial appearance. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Face Surgeries - Facelift Why should I choose New Look New Life for a Facelift procedure? At New Look New Life, our board-certified plastic surgeons are dedicated to providing the best care and outcomes for our patients. Our surgeons take the time to understand your goals and create a customized facelift treatment plan to address your specific needs, ensuring that the final results look natural and youthful. Whether you're concerned about jowls, sagging skin, or midface aging, we have the expertise to restore your facial contours and bring back your confidence. What Are the Benefits of Facelift Surgery? Facelift surgery is performed on women and men to: Restore youthful and angular facial contours Eliminate fine lines and wrinkles on the middle and lower regions of the face Lessen the development of jowls Minimize a double-chin Reposition sagging facial tissues Maintain a natural appearance Am I a Candidate for Facelift Surgery? Men and women consider facelift surgery to correct the signs of aging that leave them feeling as though their reflection no longer represents the vibrancy they feel inside. The best candidates for facelift surgery do not smoke, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations of their results. These patients also continue good eating habits and healthy skin care routines over the course of their lives. Dr. Kim is highly experienced in providing optimal and natural-looking facelift results. Where Are My Facelift Incisions Made? Incisions for facelift surgery are made in discreet locations where they will be easy to hide. Usually, incisions are made in the natural creases near the ear or behind the hairline. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues (including fat and muscles) are repositioned, tightened, or removed, and the excess skin is trimmed. The results of these techniques are smoother skin, more defined and lifted facial contours, and reduced wrinkles. Should I Combine My Facelift With Other Procedures? Many patients opt to combine their facelift with other procedures to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation: Neck Lift: If you're concerned about neck sagging or a double chin, a neck lift can be combined with your facelift for a balanced, youthful appearance. Facial Augmentation: To restore volume to the face, cheek implants, chin implants, or fat grafting can be performed alongside your facelift. Rhinoplasty: For those who want to address nasal concerns, rhinoplasty can be performed in conjunction with a facelift to achieve overall facial harmony. Should I Combine My Facelift With Facial Augmentation? Facelift surgery restores youthful contours by repositioning and tightening tissues, muscles, and facial fat; however, it cannot restore facial volume that has been lost over time. Facial augmentation, such as cheek augmentation or fillers and chin augmentation with implants, can restore fullness to the face. Fat grafting to the face also restores facial volume by transferring fat from another area of the body. Is there a non-surgical alternative to a facelift? While no non-surgical procedure can rival the extensive results offered with the traditional facelift, there are non-surgical treatments that can reduce or eliminate the appearance of fine lines and restore facial volume. Younger patients or those who are only experiencing minor to moderate signs of aging may benefit from a liquid facelift treatment, which is a combination of neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® injections and dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane® or Restylane® Lyft™, or the collagen-enhancing RADIESSE®. Patients can also undergo laser resurfacing with Sciton® laser treatments. What Will My Facelift Recovery Be Like? Facelift surgery is an outpatient procedure, and you can return home to recover shortly after your surgery. You should plan to rest comfortably at home for several days following your facelift. We suggest that you keep your head upright at all times (even when sleeping) to ensure proper blood circulation. This will help promote comfort, reduce swelling, and limit the possibility of complications. Most facelift patients can return to work and their normal day-to-day-activities after one week, but you may be asked to limit any strenuous or vigorous exercise for a longer period. Most swelling should subside within one month. Dr. Kim provide all of her patients with her cell phone number so that they can be reached at any time during your recovery. What Does Facelift Surgery Cost in New York? At New Look New Life Surgical Arts in New York, your facelift surgery will be tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals. Our facelift surgery starts at $15,000, but this may vary significantly once anesthesia fees, surgeon’s fees, facility fees, operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits are factored in. You will be provided with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation that will take all of the above factors into account. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your facelift in New York. Will My Facelift Leave Scars? Dr. Kim pays meticulous detail to the placement and size of your facelift incisions. All incisions are placed in locations that will be easy to conceal with hairstyles and makeup, and all scars fade with time. Is Facelift Surgery Painful? Facelift surgery is performed under anesthesia to eliminate any pain during the procedure. You may develop some bruising, swelling, tenderness, and tightness following your facelift. Any discomfort can be lessened with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. When will I see my facelift results? Your facelift results will start to become visible immediately after the surgery but will continue to refine over the following days and weeks as the bruising and swelling subside. With time, your skin will feel much smoother and tighter, and your face will appear more youthful and rejuvenated. Why should I consider adding Renuvion® to my Facelift procedure? While Liposuction is the gold standard for permanently removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is not designed to tighten the overlying skin. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, removing fat can sometimes leave the treated area looking slightly loose or deflated. By pairing your liposuction with a Renuvion® treatment, Dr. Claudia Kim can actively shrink and tighten the skin from the inside out using advanced radiofrequency and helium plasma energy. This dynamic combination ensures your newly sculpted contours look incredibly smooth, firm, and natural. How should I prepare for facelift surgery? Since your facelift is performed under anesthesia, you will need to stop smoking and taking all blood-thinning medication, including aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, and some herbal supplements, for at least 10 to 14 days before and after the surgery. You will also need to arrange for a family member or friend to get you to and from the surgery and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours to assist with all day-to-day activities. What are the risks associated with facelift surgery? Facelift surgery is very safe, especially when performed by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. While rare, complications can arise, including: Negative reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding/hematoma Infection Seroma Nerve damage Prolonged wound healing Unfavorable scarring Facial asymmetry Does facelift surgery address the entire face? No. Facelift surgery addresses the middle and lower regions of the face. It does not address the eyes or forehead. If you are experiencing laxity in the upper third of your face and would like to keep consistency between the youthfulness of your upper and lower face, you may consider combining your facelift with blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery) to address the eyelids. Will I still look like myself after facelift surgery? Facelift surgery is designed to restore a more rejuvenated and youthful version of yourself. This surgery will not make you look like an entirely different person, but it will highlight your natural beauty. How Can I Personalize My Facelift Surgery? Facelift surgery is performed to restore natural-looking, youthful facial contours. This surgery often takes between three and four hours to complete. Are my facelift results permanent? The results of your facelift will be long lasting; however, they are not permanent, as facelift surgery does not stop the natural aging process. You will continue to develop fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck; however, they will always be less than if you had not had the surgery. While every person ages differently, you can help prolong the life of your results by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a good skin care routine. Some patients choose to follow-up their facelift with a mini facelift after a few years.

  • Sciton Halo | New Look New Life

    The effects that sun damage and aging inflict on a person are more than just skin-deep.

Living with these skin discolorations can make you look older than you want. While repairing skin damage may seem intimidating and perhaps a little scary, it doesn’t have to be. Many non-surgical cosmetic treatments are available to address and even correct skin imperfections, and one of the most effective treatments is the innovative Halo™ laser treatment. At New Look New Life, we are proud to offer the Halo™ laser treatment in New York and Westchester to help our patients rejuvenate their skin and let their true, youthful selves shine through.

Many non-surgical cosmetic treatments are available to address and even correct skin imperfections, and one of the most effective treatments is the innovative Halo™ laser treatment. At New Look New Life, we are proud to offer the Halo™ laser treatment in New York and Westchester to help our patients rejuvenate their skin and let their true, youthful selves shine through. Frequently asked questions Lasers - HALO What Are the Benefits of Halo™ Laser Treatment? The effects of aging and sun damage are more than just skin-deep. Hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, large pores, and acne scars can all make you look older than you feel and negatively impact your self-confidence. The innovative Halo™ laser treatment relies on your body's own natural healing process to give you glowing, youthful skin from the inside out. The versatile nature of Halo™ makes it an incredibly effective treatment for correcting: Severe sun damage and age spots Pigmentation issues (hyperpigmentation and melasma) Acne scars and facial scarring Wrinkles and fine lines Enlarged or uneven pores Dull, uneven skin tone and rough texture In addition to the face, the Halo™ laser can safely rejuvenate the neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs! Am I a Candidate for Halo™ Laser Treatment? Yes! One of the biggest advantages of the Halo™ laser is that it is safe and highly effective for all skin types and tones. Ideal candidates are men and women who are frustrated with skin damage, are in generally good health, and have realistic expectations for their results. How Is the Halo™ Laser Treatment Performed? Halo™ is a revolutionary hybrid fractional laser that uses a dual-wavelength process. One wavelength safely targets the outer layer (epidermis) to combat surface-level pigmentation and discoloration. Simultaneously, the second wavelength goes much deeper into the dermis to reverse deep-seated damage and stimulate the massive production of new collagen and elastin. Before your procedure, a numbing cream is applied to your skin, and the device utilizes an integrated cooling system to ensure your complete comfort. Depending on the size of your target area, your procedure will typically last between 30 to 60 minutes. How Long Is Halo™ Recovery? After your Halo™ treatment, your skin will feel warm, similar to a sunburn. You can also expect some redness, tightness, and inflammation. Most patients require about four to seven days of "social downtime." During this time, the redness will dissipate, and the treated skin will begin to gently peel and shed. It is crucial that you do not pick or scratch at your skin, and you must wear daily sunscreen to protect your newly resurfaced complexion. When Will I See My Halo™ Treatment Results? You will see a visible, radiant "Halo glow" almost immediately after your initial peeling phase is complete! However, because Halo™ stimulates deep collagen production, your skin will continue to improve over time. You will see your absolute best, final results develop over the next several weeks. How long will my Halo™ results last? While Halo™ reverses years of skin damage, it cannot stop the natural aging process from continuing. However, by protecting your skin with daily SPF and undergoing a maintenance Halo™ treatment every 6 to 18 months, you can easily ensure your skin continues to look youthful, firm, and rejuvenated for years to come! Why should I trust New Look New Life with my Halo™ treatment? At New Look New Life, our board-certified expert, Dr. Claudia Kim, strongly believes that every New York patient deserves a highly personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique concerns and skincare goals. Dr. Claudia Kim and our medical staff will work closely with you to ensure all your questions are answered and that you feel completely confident in your aesthetic journey. Can I combine my Halo™ laser treatment with other procedures? Absolutely! In fact, we highly recommend it. Many patients combine their Halo™ treatment with other procedures to achieve a massive, full-face transformation. For the ultimate "liquid facelift," Halo™ pairs beautifully with Forever Young BBL™ to instantly erase redness and freckles, or with injectables like Botox & Dysport and Dermal Fillers. If you are undergoing surgical rejuvenation—such as a Facelift, a Neck Lift, or a Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)—Dr. Claudia Kim can easily perform a Halo™ treatment while you are under anesthesia so you wake up with tighter contours and flawless skin! How many treatment sessions will I need? The recommended number of sessions depends entirely on the extent of your skin damage and your desired downtime. You can choose to have one or two aggressive treatments for faster results, or three to six milder treatments for a very minimal recovery period. During your consultation, we will create the perfect timeline for you. Do you offer financing for laser resurfacing? Yes! We believe that investing in your skin’s health and your self-confidence should be completely stress-free. We offer flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing page to learn how you can break your skincare investment down into manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my Halo™ consultation? Ready to reveal your most youthful skin? You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your personalized skin evaluation with Dr. Claudia Kim!

RENUVION > Our Services > Lasers > J-PLASMA IN NYC RENUVION IN NEW YORK CITY An innovative and non-invasive skin tightening treatment, Renuvion® has gained popularity for its ability to smooth skin while improving firmness and texture. New Look New Life offers Renuvion® in New York City for clients who desire effective, long-lasting skin tightening results without surgery. Frequently asked questions Body Surgeries - Renuvion What is Renuvion? Renuvion® skin tightening, also known as J-Plasma or J-Plasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Its unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma can achieve dramatic skin improvement for a refreshed, energetic look without the need for extensive surgery. What Are the Benefits of Renuvion®? Skin tightening: Renuvion® effectively tightens loose or sagging skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Versatility: Renuvion® treats more than one skin concern, including mild to moderate skin laxity, and can be used on the face and neck (often paired with a Facelift or Neck Lift), arms (often paired with an Arm Lift), breasts (often paired with a Breast Lift), stomach and waist (often paired with a Tummy Tuck), and thighs (often paired with a Thigh Lift). Natural-looking and long-lasting results: Renuvion® is known for producing natural-looking skin-tightening results to deliver a more youthful appearance without any tell-tale signs caused by some surgical procedures. Stimulates collagen production: Radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen growth, which is essential to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness over the long term. Minimally invasive: Renuvion® requires only tiny incisions, leading to less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Shorter procedure time: Renuvion® procedures are typically quicker than traditional surgical options, reducing the time spent in the operating room. Minimal downtime: Many patients can return to regular activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Am I a Candidate for Renuvion® Treatment? Good candidates for Renuvion® treatments are healthy individuals with mild to moderate skin sagging. Because Renuvion® relies on your body's natural healing response, candidates should not smoke, as this can negatively impact the healing process and overall outcome. You should also be free of active skin infections or recent sunburns in the treatment area. While Renuvion® offers long-lasting results, skin aging is an ongoing process, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results over time. The absolute best way to find out if you are a candidate is to schedule a consultation with our experienced team. What is Discussed During My Renuvion® Consultation? During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will assess your specific needs, medical history, and skin condition to determine if Renuvion® is the right approach for you. She will also discuss the benefits, potential risks, and expected results based on your unique aesthetic goals. How Are Renuvion® Treatments Performed? After a local anesthetic is administered, a small wand is inserted beneath the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is applied to the desired treatment area, heating the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production. Helium gas is added to convert the RF energy into plasma. This high-energy plasma delivers precise heat energy to the underlying tissues, causing an immediate contraction of collagen fibers that results in noticeable skin tightening. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the number of treatment areas. What Will My Recovery Be Like After a Renuvion® Treatment? While Renuvion® generally involves a short recovery period compared to traditional excisional surgery, it may still require a few days of downtime depending on the extent of your treatment. Patients should plan to rest and closely follow Dr. Claudia Kim's specific post-treatment care recommendations to ensure optimal healing. Are Renuvion® Treatments Painful? Renuvion® is minimally invasive and utilizes local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Following the treatment, patients typically report only mild, manageable discomfort that resolves quickly. Do Renuvion® Treatments Leave Scars? Renuvion® is known for its minimal scarring. Because the wand requires only tiny entry points, the resulting marks are incredibly small and inconspicuous. If you have a history of poor scarring or keloid formation, please discuss this with Dr. Claudia Kim during your consultation. What Do Renuvion® Treatments Cost in New York City? Because Renuvion® is highly customizable, the cost will vary widely depending on the number of areas being treated and whether it is being combined with other procedures. New Look New Life will provide an individual, transparent cost quote based on your specific needs during your consultation. You can view our Pricing page to learn more. How long does it take to see Renuvion® results? You will be able to see tighter, firmer skin almost immediately after completing your treatment! However, your skin will continue to gradually improve and tighten over the next six to nine months as your body naturally produces new collagen. How long do Renuvion® results last? With only one or two treatments typically needed, you can expect your results to be relatively permanent. Face and neck treatment results usually last five years or more with a proper skincare regimen and a stable weight. Does Renuvion® carry any risks? While Renuvion® is generally considered very safe and highly effective, there are potential risks associated with any procedure. Although rare, these risks include infection, changes in skin pigmentation, or uneven results. Dr. Claudia Kim will thoroughly discuss all potential risks with you before you undergo the treatment. Can I combine Renuvion® with Liposuction? Absolutely! In fact, Renuvion® is frequently referred to as the "perfect partner" for Liposuction. While liposuction effectively removes stubborn fat, it does not tighten the overlying skin. By combining the two procedures in a single session, Dr. Claudia Kim can remove unwanted fat and immediately tighten the skin over your new, slimmer contours for a truly flawless result. Can I finance my Renuvion® procedure? Yes! We want you to feel confident and youthful in your skin without the financial stress. We offer convenient medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi to assist you in paying for your skin-tightening treatments. Review our Pricing & Financing information to learn how to break your investment down into manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my Renuvion® consultation? Taking the first step toward tighter, more youthful skin is simple! If you are ready to say goodbye to skin laxity without the need for an invasive lift, you can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to secure your consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim.
