Best of New York City 2005 - Best Anti-Aging Facial

Shizuka New York Day Spa, 7 West 51st Street, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10019

Intense pulsed light has been used for awhile to remove unwanted hair and diminish spider veins, but its latest role is as a skin rejuvenator.  The light works like a laser, targeting cells beneath the skin's surface and stimulating them so that they produce new collagen.  The result can be fewer wrinkles, less-visible lines, firmer-looking skin.  IPL can also go after broken capillaries, sun damage, and age spots.  The after-effects, which include a few days of discoloration, aren't particularly lovely, but they're balanced by the prospect of rediscovering your inner 18-year-old skin.  When done in conjucntion with one of Shizuka's thorough, gentle facials and a soothing foot massage, what could be a fairly clinical procedure becomes a pleasant beauty treatment (75-minute IPL facial, $200 - $250)
