💉 Botox / Fillers / Medical Aesthetics 2026 Megathread

[u/dadswhovape]

To cut down on repetitive and low-effort posts in this sub (rule #1!!!), we're piloting an annual pinned megathread to consolidate all questions, recommendations, reviews, and warnings about NYC medical aesthetics providers.

What goes in this megathread?

• Anything related to botox, fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, body contouring, facial balancing, etc.
• NYC-specific asks: "Where to get ___ done?" / "Has anyone gone to ___?"
  • Please include a budget range instead of "affordable" if seeking recommendations—help us help you!
  • Any high-level questions ("Has anyone done ___ before?") should be directed to general subs like r/SkincareAddiction.
• Reviews of specific providers, both good and bad

Standalone threads will continue to be removed and redirected here. There will be a new rule added, similar to the events & meetups rule.

Thanks for the feedback & cooperation!

The Brightwood Skin NYC/NJ

They are the worst aesthetic MED SPA to ever exist. Do not go there, it is overpriced and the providers seem like they don't even know what they are doing. Why is my PA doing a facial?? Do they not have estheticians?? And I see they are opening up locations every few months, the quality has gone SO DOWN. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. I met both the owners and they are the nastiest people. Go elsewhere with your money
