Life is not easy for anybody. Not even the rich, most privileged or the most successful. Everyone has to go through struggles, survive them and find happiness. It is often said the grass should not be judged from a far fence as one does not know what is going on, on the other side of it. Same is the case with humans. A kind word or gesture always helps because you don’t know what a person is going through even when they are smiling.

When Brooke Sevigny was in high school studying production and design she was diagnosed with a rare lung disease. By the time she was 16 years of age she was getting biweekly transfusions while her school life kept moving ahead. Everything exhausted her so much that her body as well as her relationship with peers suffered. She was not able to keep up with the studies.

But Brooke was not willing to give up so she worked harder and pushed hard thus securing a graduation a year earlier than expected. Her doctors were able to save her life. She was happy but also a realization hit her. Her privilege, her access to good healthcare bought her back from death.

She would have definitely lost her life in case she didn’t have access to such good doctors and treatments. Thus after finishing her high school, Brooke Sevigny decided to work with her doctor to help the underprivileged patients and their families who are facing rare diseases and financial problems.

Brooklyn’s Aesthetic Island has become the go-to destination for clients seeking advanced med spa treatments that merge artistry with clinical precision. Under the direction of board-certified Nurse Practitioner and educator Eva Israilova, the spa offers a wide range of services designed to refresh, restore, and refine the face and body. From injectables and thread lifts to non-invasive contouring, each treatment is customized for results that balance natural beauty with transformative impact.

Conveniently located on Coney Island Avenue, Aesthetic Island accommodates the city’s fast-paced lifestyle with flexible scheduling and carefully tailored care. Every client begins with a thorough review of their health history, lifestyle, and personal goals, ensuring that treatments meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy. Volume restoration with fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra, PDO threads for subtle lifting, and HydraFacials or chemical peels for skin clarity are all thoughtfully integrated into treatment plans.

Among the most popular services is the non-surgical nose enhancement with dermal fillers, which delivers immediate improvements with refined precision. Small adjustments to the bridge, tip, or profile create elegant results that elevate confidence while maintaining a natural look.

The spa is also recognized for its CO2 laser program, often described as the ultimate reset for the skin. By resurfacing the outer layers while encouraging deep collagen renewal, the treatment smooths texture, minimizes damage, and restores firmness. Paired with Morpheus8, it becomes one of the most effective combinations available for total skin rejuvenation.

Complementing these signature offerings, Aesthetic Island also provides holistic services such as IV therapy, laser hair removal, and weight-loss programs, making it a comprehensive beauty destination. Eva extends her expertise beyond her clients through professional training, mentoring the next generation of practitioners in injectables, threads, and advanced non-invasive procedures. The result is a med spa that defines the future of aesthetic care in New York.
