Profile

Part clinician's office, part treatment spa, Verve Skin Laser centers boast a soothing environment that puts clients at ease during cutting-edge laser lifts and hair removal treatments. Operated and owned by Dr. Stephen Bracci (who is Board Certified by The American Board of Laser Surgery to perform out-patient cosmetic procedures from all of his three New York locations), the centers’ menus range from full body hair removal and skin-tightening Thermage non-surgical facelifts to PhotoFacial services that can remove (or at least reduce) brown spots, varicose veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea. Open since 1999, Verve concentrates on procedures that take only about fifteen minutes to administer and require little or no recovery time, meaning a lunch break appointment is not only possible, it’s recommended. The most commonly requested service by both men and women is laser depilation (on the bikini area, face, and legs for women; the back and neck area for men); the second is either Botox or Restylane, a dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the human body, rather than animal-based fillers. Skin peels and facials are also offered. With four different lasers on-site, Verve is the most fully equipped skin laser facility in town and can treat the full spectrum of needs. — Trang Chuong
