For those who hate needles

Undergoing cosmetic treatments can offer many amazing benefits, but for some, the fear of discomfort can represent a significant deterrent for pursuing improvement. In today’s advanced, innovative skincare climate, however, patient comfort is one of the most important aspects of treatment. At Coolspa, under the leadership and inspiration of Dr. Rapaport—himself quite needle-phobic when he is on the receiving end—we place a great deal of emphasis on providing a soothing, gentle experience that does not cause unnecessary anxiety.

Dr. Rapaport has designed a regimen of non-invasive, non-surgical body sculpting and skincare modalities at Coolspa in Manhattan, New York that he believes will offer the most comprehensive changes with the least amount of stress. In fact, his aim in creating Coolspa was to provide this low-key, relaxing environment while still supplying high caliber, specialized care from plastic surgeons specializing in body contouring and facial rejuvenation.

If you are undergoing a procedure such as Cellfina, NeoGraft or Miradry, or are opting to experience dermal filler treatment, rest assured that Dr. Rapaport will do everything possible to ensure you are at ease during and after your treatment. We have a variety of topical anesthetics, as well as access to sedation, either oral or intravenous. There is no shame in opting for IV sedation if you are particularly squeamish when it comes to needles. Your options for numbing (your mind and/or your skin) before and during treatment will be discussed during your confidential consultation and are customized to your needs and wishes.

Our chief anesthesiologist is Dr. John G. Grillo, Dr. Rapaport’s colleague of over a decade. Dr. Grillo becomes finely attuned to each patient’s needs with regard to sedation and will work to make the process feel easy and comfortable, with no unhappy memories. With IV sedation, you will be breathing on your own and respond to verbal directions, however, you will not feel any sensations of pain or discomfort, and will not remember anything that happens during the procedure. Dr. Grillo will tailor your sedation package to the procedure you are undergoing as well as to your own individual goals.

Meet Dr. Grillo, a trusted name inNew York anesthesiology

Dr. Rapaport has hand-picked Dr. Grillo for his sensitivity to patient needs, his unique expertise, and his calm, compassionate demeanor that instantly sets clients at ease. The doctors at Coolspa have worked together closely over the years to create an IV sedation regimen that avoids the more severe side effects and possible risks associated with general anesthesia.

The doctors at Coolspa in Manhattan are happy to answer any questions you may have during your confidential consultation. No concern or curiosity is too trivial, as Dr. Rapaport and Dr. Grillo all agree that a well-informed, well-educated patient is in the best position for a comfortable and surprise-free experience.

Dr. Grillo is board certified and has been practicing anesthesiology for almost three decades. He is a proud New Yorker and enjoys living and working in his favorite city in the world.

RETURNING TO PATIENT CARE AS USUAL, ONLY BETTER!

We are excited to announce that as of June 8th, 2020, our office will be open for ALL appointment types including Cosmetic Injectables, CoolSculpting, CoolTone, Morpheus8, miraDry, Skincare services, and more!

During this time, we are still encouraging virtual consultations & follows up as an initial step prior to an in-person appointment. We are requesting that established patients virtually consult/review their treatment plans with one of our physicians or medical aestheticians in advance of their scheduled treatments/procedures. We will be providing you with specific procedure-related instructions prior upon scheduling. If you left a deposit for a treatment and have not yet been contacted by our staff, please call, or e-mail our office so that we may get you scheduled.

The Coolspa team has been working diligently to get our office prepared for our re-opening. Our main priority is the health and safety of our patients and staff. Thank you for following our guidelines and being so patient. See below for our re-opening guidelines:

Please take the time to thoroughly read and complete our updated Appointment Policies, COVID-19 Patient Protocols, ASAPS COVID-19 Consent, and COVID-19 Patient Screening Questions. These forms will be sent via email and must be completed prior to your appointment. This will help to screen patients and ensure social distancing in the office.

When we contact you, please let us know if you are or have been sick in the last 3 weeks, have been in close or prolonged contact with anyone who has been sick during that time, or have travelled outside the United States, or have returned from the following states within the last 14 days that have been added to the high covid risk government list including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah. Specific symptoms of COVID-19 may include fever, cough, loss of sense of smell and taste, chest pressure, or shortness of breath.

Alert us if you have any other health problems that make you more susceptible to developing COVID-19 or are at increased risk. Although our office has implemented additional measures to keep you safe during this time, we encourage you to consult your primary care physician for further instructions on how to remain safe. Typically, patients over age 65 who also have respiratory ailments, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or are immunocompromised are at greater risk.

Medication refill and product requests: Routine requests for medication refills must be requested electronically through your pharmacy. Should you need to purchase skin or haircare products and would like them mailed to you, please e-mail Concierge@Coolspa.com or phone us at 212-249-4990.

We ask that you come alone to office visits, if possible. To limit exposure and practice social distancing, we are doing our best to minimize the number of people in the office at one time. If you require someone to accompany you to your visit, he/she will need to be with you at all times throughout the duration of your appointment or they will be asked to wait outside.

Please make sure to bring a mask with you to your office visit. If you do not have a mask, we will provide one for you.

Please abstain from handshake greetings and keep a “social distance” of 6 feet or more from other individuals when in the office whenever possible.

As soon as you enter the office you will be asked to use hand sanitizer provided to you upon arrival and departure from the practice. Coat both the front and back of your hands and wrists and let them air dry. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and avoid touching your face.

Please reply to all email and texts that we send you. We are working with limited personnel and resources, so responding to these messages will enable us to keep in touch with you safely.

We will provide ongoing care remotely using telemedicine. Our telemedicine system will allow us to speak with you, evaluate your face/body/breasts, prescribe treatment, and/or give you advice. We will be contacting you about your existing appointment to determine whether a virtual or in-person appointment is best.

You can obtain good and reliable information about local conditions regarding the pandemic at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/home.

For any questions and/or concerns, please call our office at 212-249-4990 or email us at Concierge@Coolspa.com. We know each of you are eager to get back to your treatment regimens, so we will be extending our hours to accommodate everyone as best we can while maintaining health & safety protocols!

We thank you for your continued support & confidence in Coolspa and our staff the past few months. We look forward to welcoming you back to our office!
