I’ve had services from the office of Dr. Rappaport for quite a few years and now recently at Aethos in 61st St. The facility is beautiful, extremely clean and private. More importantly the staff and technicians are amazing. Not only do they make one feel so welcome and comfortable, they are respectful, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you Aethos!!

I had the pleasure of receiving a Hydrafacial from Ewa. As a dark-skinned woman with sensitive skin, I’ve been hesitant about facials due to a previous bad experience. However, Ewa completely changed my perspective. She took the time to understand my skin, made a treatment plan and recommended products specifically for my skin type. This Hydrafacial left my skin feeling fresh and looking smooth. I’m genuinely impressed and can’t wait for my next appointment!
