Hear From Our Clients
A reputation built on 350+ client experiences across our premier locations.
You’re not looking for a relaxing hour where someone rubs cream on your face and sends you home with the same skin you walked in with. You want improvement—visible, lasting improvement that doesn’t require a filter or perfect lighting.
That’s what our medical-grade facials do. We work below the surface to address the root cause of what’s bothering you, whether that’s stubborn congestion, uneven tone, dehydration, or early signs of aging. You’ll see smoother texture, better clarity, and a more balanced complexion that holds up in real life, not just in the mirror right after your appointment.
The difference comes down to who’s doing the work and what we’re using. Licensed estheticians trained in advanced techniques. Clinical-grade products that penetrate deeper than what you’d buy off a shelf. Medical oversight that ensures every treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your skin’s actual needs—not just what’s trending this month.
Dolce Aesthetics NY has been serving clients across Brooklyn and the greater NYC area since 2009. With multiple locations and a team led by CEO Jennifer Di Landro—a nurse practitioner and Allergan Top 250 Injector—and Medical Director Dr. Sophia Lubin, a board-certified OB/GYN, we bring real medical expertise to every skincare treatment.
This isn’t a side hustle or a weekend certification. Jennifer has treated thousands of patients over 18 years and continues advanced training in the latest techniques and technologies. That level of experience matters when you’re trusting someone with your skin.
Our Prospect Heights clients appreciate the balance: clinical-grade results without the clinical feel. You’re not just another appointment on the books. Every facial is customized based on what your skin needs right now, not a one-size-fits-all protocol that gets repeated on everyone who walks through the door.
Your facial starts with a skin analysis. Your esthetician examines your skin type, current condition, and any specific concerns you’re dealing with—breakouts, dryness, sensitivity, pigmentation, fine lines. This isn’t guesswork. It’s a trained assessment that determines which spa treatments and products will actually help.
From there, the treatment is built around what your skin needs. That might include deep cleansing, exfoliation through microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, extractions if you’re dealing with congestion, and targeted serums or masks to hydrate, calm, or brighten. Advanced options like laser facials, LED light therapy, or microcurrent can be incorporated for clients looking to address aging concerns or boost collagen production.
The process typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. You’ll leave with specific aftercare instructions and product recommendations—not a hard sell, just honest guidance on what will help maintain your results. Most clients notice immediate improvements in texture and glow, with continued progress over the following days as skin cell turnover kicks in. For ongoing concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or anti-aging, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart usually delivers the best long-term results.

We offer a full range of facial treatments tailored to different skin types and goals. Hydrating facials use hyaluronic acid and peptide-rich serums to restore moisture and plumpness—ideal for dry, dehydrated, or aging skin. Chemical peels target uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring by removing dead skin cells and stimulating fresh cell turnover. Laser facials address sun damage, redness, and fine lines with precision technology that works at a deeper level than topical products alone.
For clients dealing with active breakouts or chronic congestion, acne facials combine deep pore cleansing, extractions, and anti-inflammatory treatments to reduce bacteria and calm irritation. Microdermabrasion smooths rough texture and refines skin tone through controlled exfoliation. LED light therapy can be added to any facial to boost collagen, reduce inflammation, or kill acne-causing bacteria, depending on the wavelength used.
Prospect Heights is a neighborhood that values efficiency and quality. People here are busy—professionals, parents, creatives—and they don’t have time for spa treatments that don’t deliver. That’s why we focus on results-driven skin care backed by medical oversight. Every treatment is performed by licensed professionals trained in the latest techniques, using FDA-approved equipment and clinical-grade products. You’re not paying for ambiance or Instagram-worthy packaging. You’re paying for expertise, safety, and outcomes that actually improve your skin over time.
For most people, a facial every four to six weeks aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, which takes about 28 days. This timing allows your skin to fully benefit from one treatment before the next, creating cumulative improvements in texture, tone, and clarity.
If you’re dealing with specific concerns like active acne, hyperpigmentation, or early signs of aging, we might recommend a more aggressive schedule initially—every two to three weeks—to get your skin under control. Once you see improvement, you can space treatments out to a maintenance schedule.
On the other hand, if your skin is generally healthy and you’re just looking to maintain that glow and prevent future issues, every six to eight weeks might be enough. The key is consistency. One facial won’t undo years of sun damage or dehydration. Regular treatments, combined with a solid at-home routine, give you the best long-term results.
A spa facial is typically focused on relaxation and surface-level treatment. You’ll get cleansing, light exfoliation, a mask, and maybe some extractions. It feels nice, smells good, and you might leave with softer skin. But the products and techniques used are generally mild and designed more for pampering than for addressing real skin concerns.
A medical-grade facial, like what you’ll get at Dolce Aesthetics NY, uses clinical-strength products and advanced techniques that penetrate deeper and deliver measurable results. Think chemical peels with higher concentrations of active ingredients, medical-grade lasers, microdermabrasion, LED therapy, and prescription-strength serums. These treatments are performed by our licensed estheticians under the supervision of medical professionals—nurse practitioners and doctors who understand skin biology and can address issues like acne, rosacea, melasma, and aging with treatments that actually work.
The other major difference is customization. Our medical-grade facials are tailored to your specific skin type and concerns based on a clinical assessment, not a generic menu. You’re getting a treatment plan, not just a one-off service. And because there’s medical oversight, you have the safety and expertise to handle more advanced treatments without unnecessary risk.
It depends on the type of facial you get. Most basic facials—hydrating, deep cleansing, or enzyme treatments—have zero downtime. You might have some mild redness for an hour or two, but you can go straight back to work or run errands without anyone noticing.
More intensive treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser facials can cause temporary redness, sensitivity, or light peeling for a few days. Your skin might look slightly pink or feel tight, and you’ll need to avoid direct sun exposure and use gentle skincare products during the healing process. But this isn’t the kind of downtime where you’re stuck at home hiding. Most people go about their normal routine—they just skip the gym and wear sunscreen religiously.
We’ll walk you through what to expect based on the specific treatment you’re getting. If you have an event coming up, let us know upfront so we can recommend a facial that gives you glowing skin without any risk of peeling or irritation on your big day.
Facials absolutely help with acne—when they’re done right. Our medical-grade acne facials target the root causes: excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. They’re not just about making your skin feel pampered for an hour.
An effective acne facial includes deep pore cleansing to remove buildup, professional extractions to clear blackheads and whiteheads without damaging your skin, exfoliation to prevent future clogging, and anti-inflammatory treatments to calm redness and irritation. Some facials incorporate high-frequency therapy, which uses a low-level electrical current to kill acne-causing bacteria, or LED blue light therapy, which has been shown to reduce breakouts over time.
The key is consistency and pairing your facials with a proper at-home routine. One facial won’t cure chronic acne, but regular treatments combined with the right cleansers, treatments, and sunscreen can make a significant difference. We can also help identify triggers you might not have considered—like over-exfoliating, using the wrong moisturizer, or not removing makeup thoroughly enough. Acne is frustrating, but it’s also one of the most treatable skin concerns when you have the right professional guidance and clinical-grade products working in your favor.
Yes, because even the best at-home routine has limits. You can’t replicate professional-grade exfoliation, extractions, or advanced treatments like chemical peels and laser therapy in your bathroom. Facials take your skincare to the next level by using stronger concentrations of active ingredients and techniques that penetrate deeper than anything you can do on your own.
Think of it this way: brushing and flossing your teeth daily is essential, but you still go to the dentist for cleanings and checkups. Facials work the same way. They deep-clean your pores, remove dead skin buildup, and address concerns that topical products alone can’t fully resolve—like stubborn congestion, uneven texture, or early signs of aging.
A good at-home routine maintains your skin between facials. But regular professional treatments accelerate results, prevent issues before they become problems, and give you access to technology and expertise you can’t get from a bottle. If you’re already investing in quality skincare, adding facials to your routine maximizes that investment and keeps your skin functioning at its best.
Show up with a clean face if possible, but if not, we’ll cleanse your skin as part of the treatment. The most important thing is to come prepared to talk honestly about your skin concerns, your current routine, and any products or treatments you’ve tried in the past.
If you’re using any prescription skincare—like retinoids, tretinoin, or acne medications—let us know. Certain treatments, like chemical peels or microdermabrasion, might need to be adjusted or postponed if your skin is already sensitized. The same goes for recent cosmetic procedures like Botox, fillers, or laser treatments. Timing matters, and we need the full picture to recommend the safest, most effective treatment.
Avoid aggressive exfoliation, waxing, or new skincare products in the 48 hours before your appointment. You want your skin in its normal state so we can assess it accurately. Skip the heavy makeup if you can—it just adds an extra cleansing step and doesn’t affect the treatment itself. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations. One facial won’t undo years of sun damage or erase deep wrinkles, but it will improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall health. With consistent treatments, you’ll see cumulative results that make a real difference.
