Book a Treatment — (212) 226-1688Skin rejuvenation is not a single treatment — it is a category of therapies that share a common goal: improving the quality and appearance of skin through accelerated cellular renewal, collagen stimulation, and targeted correction of texture and tone concerns. At Candy Spa, we offer multiple modalities across this category, and the right choice depends on your skin type, your specific concerns, and the downtime you can accommodate.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals or a diamond-tip wand to mechanically exfoliate the outermost skin layer, removing dead cells and stimulating the healing response that promotes new cell growth. The result is smoother texture, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a noticeable improvement in skin luminosity — often immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is well-suited to clients with uneven texture, mild sun damage, or a general dullness that regular facials do not fully address. It involves no chemicals and no recovery period; most clients return to normal activities immediately. A series of six monthly sessions produces the most significant cumulative improvement. Pricing from $80 per session.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use acid solutions — AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic), BHAs (salicylic), or TCA — to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating their shedding and revealing the newer skin underneath. The depth of the peel determines both the intensity of the result and the recovery time required. Superficial peels (AHA-based) involve mild flaking for two to three days and produce gradual improvement in tone and texture. Medium peels (TCA-based) produce more significant peeling over five to seven days and are effective for deeper pigmentation and pronounced texture concerns. All our peels are performed by trained estheticians who assess your skin's current sensitivity and adjust the formulation accordingly. Pricing from $90 per session.
LED Light Therapy
LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses specific light wavelengths to trigger different cellular responses in the skin. Red light (630–700nm) penetrates dermally and stimulates fibroblast activity, promoting collagen and elastin synthesis. Blue light (415–450nm) targets and destroys P. acnes bacteria, reducing active breakouts without chemical irritation. Near-infrared light (800–880nm) penetrates most deeply and promotes healing and circulation. LED therapy is entirely non-invasive — no heat, no UV, no discomfort — and is an excellent complement to other treatments. We offer LED as a standalone treatment and as an add-on to facials and skin rejuvenation sessions. Pricing from $50 per session; frequently included in combination packages.
Combined Glow Treatment
Our signature Glow Treatment combines microdermabrasion, a superficial AHA peel, and red LED therapy in a single 90-minute session. The microdermabrasion removes the barrier of dead cells; the peel addresses pigmentation and stimulates turnover; the LED stimulates collagen and calms any treatment-related redness. The combined effect exceeds what any single modality achieves alone. This is our most popular skin rejuvenation option for clients who want visible results with minimal recovery time. Pricing: $150 per session; $750 for a six-session package.

Building a Skin Rejuvenation Routine in New York City
New York's environment is uniquely harsh on skin. Pollution levels in Manhattan are among the highest of any American city; fine particulate matter accumulates on skin throughout the day, clogging pores and generating oxidative stress that accelerates visible aging. Subway air carries its own combination of metal particles and exhaust. Winter brings low humidity and forced-air heat that strips the skin barrier. Summer brings sweat, sunscreen, and the dehydrating effects of air conditioning. Building a skin routine for New York means building for all of these simultaneously.
Professional treatments work most effectively when they support a consistent at-home routine rather than substitute for it. A monthly facial or rejuvenation treatment accelerates the results you can achieve, but the gains hold better between sessions when your barrier function is intact and your skin is regularly hydrated. The combination — professional treatments layered onto good daily habits — produces compounding results that neither approach achieves alone.
At Candy Spa, we recommend thinking of skin rejuvenation as a program rather than a single appointment. Most clients who see meaningful, lasting improvements in texture, tone, and clarity are those who come in every four to six weeks across a season, allowing successive treatments to build on each other. We are happy to discuss what a realistic program would look like for your skin type and your schedule.
