Welcome!

Sarah Swanson understands the complexities of beauty. A licensed aesthetician and transplanted Georgia girl, she has been caring for people’s skin ever since opening her first salon in 2004. Her new Manhattan Spa, Sarah Swanson Aesthetics, is at the forefront of skincare with the latest in a series of cutting-edge treatments designed to make you look good and feel even better.

As the founder of Manhattan’s Sarah Swanson Aesthetics, Sarah strives for a close personal connection with each and every client, believing that an ongoing dialogue should be part of any healthy regime. “Before working with anyone, I like to take a look at the whole person to determine what fits them best. Each person’s skin is unique and therefore deserves its own specialized routine.”

Located within the Upper East Side Medical practice of Dr. Jame' Heskett, Sarah Swanson Aesthetics goes beyond just treatments. Sarah sees it as a safe, comfortable environment in which to guide her clients to the beauty that lies within. Engaging the latest in FDA-approved technology, she is committed to helping you achieve your own personal appearance goals. Through VelaShape™, “the first and only safe, effective, and virtually painless FDA-cleared non-surgical medical solution for the circumferential reduction and cellulite treatment,” Sarah can help you lose inches and gain a renewed confidence about the way you look. ReFirme™, “the only non-invasive treatment with FDA approval for skin tightening wrinkle treatment,” uses a different combination of the same radiofrequency and light energy to deliver energy deep into the dermis. This allows Sarah to help increase your very own collagen and elastin production thus adding a more youthful, smooth appearance to your skin. For the removal of unwanted hair and the diminishment of broken capillaries and spider veins, Sarah works with the Syneron™ EMax patented laser, the only FDA-approved laser for any and all skin types.

In addition to her expertise in reshaping your body, Sarah offers a diverse menu of rejuvenating spa services designed to maintain healthy skin and reverse the effects of sun damage and aging. They include restorative facials, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels. For clients with acne and other problematic skin issues, Sarah is an intelligent sounding board for any and all of your questions, offering important advice and a range of beneficial diagnostic treatments.

Sarah received her aesthetic training in Atlanta; first at the North Georgia Technical College and then at the International School of Skin and the International Dermal Institute. When not improving the quality of her clients’ appearances, she loves cooking for her son Peyton. She also enjoys planting flowers and watching her garden flourish.
