BOTOX® Cosmetic

+

BOTOX Cosmetic is an FDA-approved medication designed to smooth moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead creases. Our New York BOTOX injections, when performed with meticulous skill, can also be used to lift the nose tip, create a subtle increase in lip volume and more.

Cellulite Reduction

+

Cellulite treatments are performed to reduce the dimples of cellulite — a common condition affecting the appearance of the hips, buttocks, and abdomen.

Cellulite Reduction Treatments

+

The uneven, dimpled skin we call cellulite often appears on the thighs, hips, abdomen, or buttocks. This condition develops when the skin overlying areas of fatty deposits is pulled down by connective tissue and creates an uneven skin surface.

Chemical peels

+

Chemical peels use a special solution applied to the skin to remove damaged top layers, revealing smoother skin. It involves cleaning the area, applying the solution, a brief tingling sensation, and gentle peeling over days to promote new, fresher skin.

CoolSculpting treatments

+

CoolSculpting treatments are non-surgical fat-reduction sessions that freeze and destroy fat cells in small areas. A clinician applies a cooling device to targeted spots, numbs the area, then removes the device, with gradual, natural-fat loss over weeks.

CoolSculpting® Elite

+

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, nonsurgical fat reduction technique. This fat-freezing technology has been proven to reduce pockets of fat in areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, flanks, and under the chin. CoolSculpting can produce a 20–25% reduction in fat after one session

Emface

+

Ariel Ostad MD PC is proud to offer EMFACE®, the first and only needle-free procedure that treats facial skin and muscles simultaneously in a quick 20-minute session. EMFACE® is an FDA-approved revolutionary device that is used for natural facial rejuvenation.

Excel-V Laser Therapy

+

Excel-V laser therapy is an excellent treatment for rosacea, spider veins, and many other skin conditions. This is one of several state-of-the-art laser devices that Dr. Ostad uses at his New York office.

Excessive Sweating Treatments

+

his disorder is a very common and upsetting physical condition that affects both the genders. The sweating can affect one specific area or even the whole body. It commonly affects the underarms, palms, and feet. Although not life-threatening, Hyperhidrosis can be uncomfortable.

FRAXEL CO2

+

Because every person is unique, we utilize a wide variety of devices and products to accomplish that goal. One of the most powerful and versatile lasers in our collection is the renowned Fraxel Co2.

FRAXEL DUAL

+

Fraxel DUAL laser therapy, available from Dr. Ostad’s New York Dermatology practice, is a powerful, but gentle skin resurfacing solution. It is a non-ablative laser, meaning that it does not actually remove skin layers. Instead, it triggers rapid cell turnover for dramatic results.

Fraxel Restore

+

A series of Fraxel Restore laser treatments can improve tone, texture, and radiance in aging, scarred, or sun-damaged skin.

Hand Rejuvenation

+

One of the most obvious signs of aging is the hands. Age spots on the skin shows your years, and volume loss in the hands can lead to prominent tendons and ligaments, as well as visible veins.

Hyperpigmentation Treatments

+

Hyperpigmentation is the development of darker spots and patches on the skin that can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetics and sun exposure.

JUVÉDERM Family of Fillers

+

Juvéderm is a collection of custom hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance in your skin which primary function is to attract water to hydrate and lubricate tissues.

KYBELLA®

+

A chiseled jawline is quintessentially masculine, and a slender chin and neck define femininity. Yet thousands of men and women have blurred profiles. Dr. Ariel Ostad offers Kybella in New York, a double chin removal option that does not require liposuction or surgery, and requires no downtime.

Laser Hair Removal

+

We will effectively remove unwanted hair for you in quick, convenient sessions. Laser hair removal not only saves you the time and hassle of shaving and waxing; it also gives you the confidence you've been looking for.

Laser Tattoo Removal

+

Laser tattoo removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses high-intensity light beams to break up pigment particles in an unwanted tattoo. Black tattoo pigment and all other colors, including more difficult greens and blues, can be removed with the groundbreaking PicoWay laser system.

Laser hair removal

+

Laser hair removal uses a focused light to damage hair follicles, slowing or stopping growth. A technician uses a device on treated skin, often with cooling, and multiple sessions are needed for best results, with varying comfort and small risks.

Lip fillers

+

Lip fillers is a cosmetic treatment that uses soft gel injections to add volume and shape to the lips, smooth lines, and enhance definition. A clinician injects a safe filler under the skin, with quick results and usually minor swelling or bruising.

Liposuction

+

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from specific body areas using suction. A surgeon makes small skin incisions, inserts a thin tube (cannula) to loosen fat, and suctions it out, reshaping contour with anesthesia and recovery time.

Melasma Treatments

+

Melasma is a commonly occurring pigment condition that causes small brown and sometimes grayish spots to appear in concentrated patches on the face, most specifically on the cheeks, forehead, nose and area around the lips.

Microneedling

+

Microneedling is a skincare procedure that uses tiny needles to create small, controlled skin punctures. This prompts the skin to heal, boosting collagen and smoothing texture, usually done with a handheld device and sometimes accompanied by serums or a topical numbing cream.

MiraDry®

+

MiraDry is a long-lasting and noninvasive FDA-approved treatment to stop underarm sweat, odor, and hair growth. The MiraDry system uses targeted thermal energy to destroy sweat and odor glands in the underarm area, leaving patients free from excess perspiration, stains, and odor—forever.

Mole Removal

+

If you are troubled by moles on your face or body, there are two methods by which they can be entirely removed—surgical excision and shave excision.

Non-Surgical Butt Lift

+

Non-surgical butt lift is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure to augment the derriere. It uses injectables to lift and contour the buttocks by stimulating an increase in natural collagen production. This treatment is performed using Sculptra, a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler.

Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation

+

Chin augmentation improves the symmetry of facial features, restoring a harmonious look. Dr. Ariel Ostad brings skill, experience, and artistry to every non-surgical chin augmentation procedure at his New York practice.

Non-Surgical Hair Restoration

+

Non-surgical hair restoration is a three-step medical treatment to stimulate hair growth by restoring vitality to hair follicles that are producing finer, thinner hairs, and going dormant.

Non-Surgical Nose Job

+

Our New York non-surgical nose job is a noninvasive treatment that resolves minor nose shape issues and creates greater harmony and balance for your facial features. Also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or a liquid nose job, it is a quick, virtually painless procedure.

PicoWay® Laser Rejuvenation

+

PicoWay is an advanced laser that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to treat an array of skin issues. The bursts of energy create a photo-mechanical impact, which helps break down particles of skin pigmentation. Our PicoWay treatments produce faster results and require fewer procedures.

Pigmented Lesion Removal

+

Dermatologists call them pigmented lesions, but you know these skin-tone flaws as sun spots. Usually brown in color, they are caused by cumulative exposure to sun, resulting in damaged skin. Dr. Ariel Ostad, offers effective laser treatments to lighten spots and even out skin tone.

Restylane®

+

Restylane is a line of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. The Restylane line of fillers has been formulated to function like your body’s naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid, which provides hydration, fullness, and increased skin elasticity.

Rosacea Treatments

+

Rosacea is a common skin condition characterized by red patches and visbile enlarged blood vessels on the face, particularly on the nose and cheeks. Dr. Ostad is a leading dermatologist who understands that rosacea can affect more than the skin.

Scar Revision

+

Scar revision may involve either nonsurgical or surgical treatments to reduce the visibility of scars on the face or body. These treatments restore function and correct the appearance of scars from trauma or prior surgery that have not healed properly.

Sculptra®

+

Sculptra is an advanced, FDA-approved, injectable filler designed to stimulate natural skin regeneration. Through increasing natural collagen production, Sculptra smooths away facial wrinkles and folds, creating an elegant, very natural outcome.

Skin Cancer Treatments

+

Dr. Ostad encourages patients at his office to perform regular self-checks and undergo professional skin cancer screenings regularly. Often, the trained eye of a dermatologist can identify skin cancers long before you may notice anything, making regular screenings essential.

Spider Vein Treatments

+

Spider veins (technical name: telangiectasias) are small, dilated blood vessels on the skin or mucous membranes. These are smaller, damaged veins that are red, purple, or blue, and are visible through the skin. Spider veins most often develop on the legs and face.

Spider vein treatments

+

Spider vein treatments are medical procedures that reduce or remove small, red or blue surface veins usually on legs. They involve noninvasive techniques like laser or Sclerotherapy to collapse and fade the veins, improving appearance and comfort.

Stretch Mark Reduction

+

If you are troubled by the look of stretch marks on any area of your body, you may be a good candidate for stretch mark removal. Many women who developed stretch marks on the abdomen, breasts and body areas after a pregnancy choose to undergo a custom stretch mark treatment.

Sun Spot Treatments

+

Sunspots come about from exposure to the sun. They are a harmless but unsightly occurrence that can detract from one’s looks and, thus, one’s self-confidence.

The RHA Collection

+

RHA is a revolutionary cosmetic treatment that is ideal for filling the wrinkles and fine lines, making your skin appear smooth, soft, and supple. RHA has produced a range of products specifically designed to treat mild, moderate, or severe fine lines.

Unwanted Hair

+

If you have unwanted hair on any area of your face or body, you may be a candidate for laser hair removal. Individuals with lighter skin and darker hair are the best candidates, as the laser energy targets melanin, the pigment giving hair its color.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

+

The Juliet Laser is a revolutionary, 20-minute, life-changing treatment to enhance the appearance and structure of both the internal and external aspects of the vagina.

Varicose Vein Treatments

+

Varicose veins are large, blue, raised, swollen, twisted blood vessels. They most commonly develop in the legs and feet, and are unattractive and often painful. Dr. Ariel Ostad offers effective treatments for these conditions.

Vascular Laser Treatments

+

Normal, healthy skin has even tone, and veins are not readily visible. However, thinning skin or dilated blood vessels make veins near the surface obvious. New York skin care specialist, Dr. Ariel Ostad, offers vascular laser treatments to restore complexions.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatments

+

Wrinkles are the results of sun exposure, loss of collagen and elastin, and overuse of the facial muscles over time. They can also be caused by bone loss. Treatments include: - BOTOX® Cosmetic - Dermal Fillers - Laser Resurfacing - Sunscreen

Ariel Ostad MD Reviews

Dr. Ariel Ostad is an exceptional Mohs surgeon and reconstructive physician, and his entire team reflects that same standard of excellence. From the very first consultation, Dr. Ostad demonstrated a rare combination of technical mastery, clinical clarity, and genuine human presence. Mohs surgery—especially on the face—is not only a medical procedure; it is an emotional experience. Dr. Ostad understands this fully and treats both with equal seriousness. Throughout my entire process—from diagnosis, through multiple stages of surgery, to reconstruction and recovery—he was consistently precise, calm, and deeply attentive. He explained each step clearly, never minimizing the complexity of the work or the patience required for healing. His follow-up care was thoughtful and honest, always focused on long-term outcomes rather than quick reassurance. The reconstructive result speaks for itself. Dr. Ostad approaches reconstruction not as a cosmetic afterthought, but as an integral part of restoring both function and identity. His decisions were careful, experience-driven, and deeply respectful of the face as something personal and lived-in—not simply anatomical. Just as important as the physician is the team, and this practice is outstanding in that regard. From the front desk, Amber and Martha set the tone immediately: professional, kind, and unflappably organized. They made what could have been a stressful process feel grounded and humane from day one. On the administrative side, Anne, who handles billing, deserves special recognition. She was clear, patient, and transparent—rare qualities in medical billing—and removed an enormous amount of unnecessary stress during a vulnerable time. And finally, the nursing care was exceptional. Colleen, originally from Minnesota, stood out in particular. Her presence during procedures and recovery was steady, compassionate, and deeply reassuring. She combines clinical skill with a calm humanity that makes an enormous difference when you are literally placing your face—and your trust—in someone else’s hands. At no point did I feel rushed, dismissed, or left wondering what came next. Every question was welcomed. Every concern was taken seriously. If you are facing Mohs surgery and reconstruction—especially in a visible or emotionally sensitive area—I cannot recommend Dr. Ariel Ostad and his team highly enough. This is care delivered with expertise, integrity, and real respect for the person behind the diagnosis. — Andres Aluma-Cazorla, PhD.

My MOHS surgery with Dr. Ostad and his staff was truly exceptional. From the moment I walked into their beautiful, calming office, I felt comfortable and cared for. The entire team was warm, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process…from my initial consultation to the procedure itself and my follow-up visit. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and relaxed. I’m very grateful for their outstanding care.

Update - 1/13/26 My family and I had another outstanding experience today with Dr. Ostad and his team. After my follow-up visit where Dr. Ostad did a thorough examination and explained that my post-surgical procedure was going very well, he kindly did a consultation for a relative. She has a complex situation and he provided her with top notch guidance and a comprehensive plan to address her medical issues. Most importantly, he made her feel comfortable, and communicated clearly and comprehensively. She was raving afterwards about the visit and plans to visit the office soon to address her issues by following Dr. Ostad's thoughtful plan. Thank you Dr. Ostad and team! 12/9/25 - Dr. Ostad and his staff are outstanding medical professionals. They are knowledgeable, caring, and most effective. I am very pleased with the results of my procedure. Dr. Ostad and his team were always available to answer all of my questions and optimize my outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Ostad for your medical needs!

Dr Ostad and his team are exceptional! I had basal removed from my face - 45 stitches….no scar!! He is truly amazing. For reference the removal was under my left eye. The cancer was the size of a nickel and very deep. I am happy with the results.

Dr. Ostad is a God-send. He gave my sister a new lease on life decades ago when he permanently treated her debilitating hidradenitis under her arms. For me personally, Dr Ostad performed my mole removal on my chin. I only trust his hands and was very nervous because I take pride like many in my appearance especially my face and I didn’t want a nasty scar. I wanted as minimal scarring as possible. He gave that to me and it was seamless. He is so kind (a rarity with many doctors especially super talented ones like him), personable, and genuine. Not to mention exceptional in his knowledge and skill set. You are in excellent hands the minute you step into his office. His nurses are just as kind and sweet as he is! Shoutout to Ishany and Cybella! Love love love this office. They do amazing work.

Dr. Ostad is a top dermatologic surgeon in NYC. He is very patient, kind, and doesn't pressure you into treatments. His office is also very beautiful. I am dealing with two stubborn scars on my nose and he offered some innovative options that I've never heard of before and that his competition isn't offering (dermal grafting). While the treatments aren't cheap, they're certainly quality. I opted for dermabrasion, Excel V laser, and kenolog injection and I am already seeing improvement. I will be back.

I went to Dr Ostad to dissolve old filler that was causing malar edema on my upper cheeks. He literally spoke to me for 10 minutes, I felt super rushed! Then he went ahead and gave me a shot of Hylenex without the use of ultrasound. Two months and 1500 dollars later I had no change. Turns out I had old filler nodules that needed to be injected directly with the assistance of ultrasound imaging. Poor bed side manner and a total waste of money!
