I have been a loyal client of Dr. gerstman's for about 3 yrs now. i adore her. I have mostly been doing Botox and Retylane. But as time passed, I started noticing these tiny lines aroung my eyes and mouth and my cute little "freckles" were not so cute anymore.(I assume too many years in the sun!). Not bad enough that I needed a really aggressive treatment like the FRAXEL or something. But enough that i started obsessing! So i signed up for Dr. G's Triniti program. Three lasers in three sessions and I am so happy! I did hurt a bit but it was really worth it. I was pink and blotchy after each session and my dark spots would get really dark. But with a little makeup i had no problem going to work the next day. For someone in their 30's or 40's who is starting to see signs up aging on their skin this program is the best. Yeah, Dr G!!

Pros: innovate doctor, kind staff, reasonably priced services

Cons: a little painful but worth it

I am a 31 yr old woman still suffering with acne. And i have tried it all; Accutane, lasers, Retin a, Proactive, antibiotics etc. My friend told me I had to go see Dr. gerstman. I was totally sceptical because I have already seen NY's so called "best". But I also had nothing to lose. She was sweet and comapssionate as she listened to my skin drama. But more importantly she treated me with a laser that actually worked!! It is called the ISOLAZ. It sucked out my pores, calmed down my acne, and it didn't hurt! I know i will have to come back for maintenance but i am totally fine with that. The treatments aren't torture, the staff is really nice, and the teatments actually work! Dare I say i may have really found NY's "best"???

Pros: treatment that works

Cons: none

I just finished 6 sessions with the Velashape laser. It is awesome!!! So much better than the Velasmooth. Only 6 sessions once a week (instead of 16!! ) and so much more powerful. It even has this new "contour" attachment that gets the fat really hot so it actually shrinks. So, a paid a little extra and finally got rid of my love handles. I swear. God must be a woman!!!!

Pros: terrific staff. very special doctor

Cons: not cheap but you get what you pay for

Dr. Gerstman has created an urban sanctuary that instantly puts you at ease. While some medical spas are designed with only women in mind, Medical Aesthetics is comfortable for men as well. I highly recommend Dr. Gerstman and her staff to everyone.

I LOVE Medical Aesthetics. Dr. Gerstman is an expert dermatologist who will work hard to achieve the results you want. She is compassionate and knowledgable and always takes time to work with her patients' needs. Even when I'm emailing her frantically on the weekends with questions, she takes time out to write thoughtful, clear, concise, and always useful answers and advice. Elsa is also really knowledgable and good at what she does. I had seen about 4-5 other dermatologists for acne before I came to Medical Aesthetics, and Dr. Gerstman was the first one to work aggressively enough to achieve the results I wanted. Her Acne program is focused on results and treats all causes of acne, not just one. I recommend visiting them to everyone!

Pros: Amazing knowledgable staff, great results

I have been seeing Dr. Gerstman for acne for three years now. I went to her in desperate need to clear up my badly blemished face, back, and chest. As an African-American women, I felt like my blemishes and scarring would never go away no matter what I tried until Dr. Gerstman started me one of her great microdermabrasion/peel regimens. Within a year of treatments, medication, and topical products my face is 95% better. I can truly saw before meeting Dr. G and her warm, compassionate spirit, I was so insecure about my skin and now I am so much more confident in my skin than ever. I would recommend her spa for its sense of relaxation and tranquility, Dr. Gerstman's compassion, her expertise, and her love for her work. She truly is my miracle worker!

Pros: Ambience, personable and compassionate staff, inexpensive, very effective treatment, great location for commuters

I have been a client of Dr. Gerstman's for around 3 years and I think I look better at age 45 now than I did when I was 35! Their microdermabrasion treatments have kept my skin clear and smooth and recently I have undergone Photofacial treatments that are erasing age/sun spots and improving my overall skin tone and texture. It's a freaking miracle. The general atmosphere in the spa is one of warmth and Leslie has a genuine quality of caring in addition to her medical and skin care expertise. If you've been nervous about getting that first Botox shot or just noticing that sag or bag and don't know what to do, give them a call!

Pros: great location
