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.
