We are in awe of our combination of CO2 and RF microneedling, as it delivers exceptional results by addressing skin concerns from multiple dimensions. This powerful duo allows for less aggressive treatments while still achieving impressive outcomes, enhancing both client comfort and satisfaction with the final results.
Persistent acne scars can detract from the skin’s appearance, and ablative CO2 laser offers a powerful solution by removing layers of scarred skin, allowing for the regeneration of a smoother, more uniform complexion.
The CO2 laser precisely vaporizes damaged skin cells at the surface and stimulates collagen production deeper within the skin. This process reveals fresher, renewed skin layers and diminishes the depth and roughness of scars.
Ensure everything you apply is non-comedogenic with our easy-to-use checker. We made it very easy for you to check if your skincare, makeup, and hair products are safe for your skin.

My daughter was treated for acne at AcneClinicNYC, and I always wanted to try PRP for anti-aging (I’ve read a lot about it being the most gentle way of rejuvenation). Oh my gosh, I fell in love with this treatment. I do four sessions a year now and plan to stick with it. Every treatment feels like a breath of fresh air, and I can see how thankful my skin is: bright, tight, and lifted!
I have been battling acne for the last 18 years. I have tried every single antibiotic, medication, crème, soap, topical, etc. you name it. I did see some results that I was actually pleased with while on Accutane/Isotretinoin.
After successfully treating my acne with AcneClinicNYC, I was planning to address my hair issues at another clinic. However, my esthetician offered their PRP hair treatment (done on the scalp), and it turned out to be half the price of the place I was considering. I love my results. Thank you for transforming both my skin and hair!
I came to AcneClinicNYC to treat my scars, and I also had acne at the time. Veronika said we should tackle the acne first. My skin cleared up fast, and then they did three PRP treatments. This got rid of all my acne scars. Now my skin is even-toned and smooth, and a lot of people have noticed.
