Very Satisfied

Dr. Vafa was a big help. I knew I needed something to fill in the parts of my face that were looking hollow and droopy. We spent time talking and he quickly assessed what he thought would give me the best possible results. It is too soon to tell but I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Vafa

Love Dr. Vafa for Sculptra

I had a series of 4 Sculptra vials injected by Dr. Vafa and I am very happy with the results! I went to Dr. Vafa because he has so much experience with Sculptra, and I’m so glad i did. I was pretty nervous about it but he listened to my concerns with no pressure and we took a conservative approach over time to slowly ease in. It is absolutely not cheap (I think $950 or $975 per vial?) but if I’m doing something to my face I am not cutting corners. I also went to him a .5 syringe of filler in my lips and I’m obsessed with the results - so so natural and understated.

“Precision Sculptra : Artistry in Injections “

I recently visited my doctor of 13 years for a Sculptra procedure, despite having moved to Florida. His expertise in Sculptra injections is remarkable , and the experience was exceptional. Highly recommend for anyone seeking skilled Sculptra injections. Updated on 21 Jul 2025: I recently visited my doctor of 13 years Dr.vafa for a Sculptra procedure, despite having moved to Florida.

Amazing with Sculptra and Botox. An Artist!

Dr. Vafa is an artist. Prior to seeing Dr. Vafa I thought that I needed a facelift. He said that you don’t not need a facelift, you need sculptra. I found him on Instagram. Prior to Dr. Vafa, I had seen a “highly recommended” dermatologist who severely damaged my face with threads and misplaced filler. Dr. Vafa dissolved the old filler from the prior horrible injector and literally fixed my face. He is also quite caring and empathetic. Extremely happy.

I never look overdone and he gets it right every time.

I have been seeing Dr Vafa for the past 5 years for Botox. He is by far the best injector in NYC. I never look overdone and he gets it right every time. He enhances my natural beauty and really looks out for what is best for the patient and their features. I would never go to anyone else and feel fortunate he is in this industry. I recently had laser genesis at his clinic and a hydrafacial. Loved the results and will book more sessions. All his staff are professional and kind. I highly recommend if you are looking for the best!

I Highly Recommend Dr Vafa

Dr Vafa is amazing.. he’s helped me with sculptra for body specifically on my abdomen post tummy tuck. I lost a great deal of weight and though my tummy tuck was successful, my skin still was very thin and damaged. After Dr Vafa Treated my abdomen with a combination of initial Morpheus 8 treatments and Sculptra I’ve noticed a clear plumping and firmness to the skin and it just gets better with time. I’d highly recommend Dr Vafa to anyone, especially those interested in tailored out of the box treatments.

Used radiosurgery to remove my facial mole

I was welcomed by friendly and good-looking personnel. Even though I was late, the doctor still made an effort to see me after he was notified that I had arrived from NJ. I thought it was going to be a free consultation and then the appointment for the procedure was to be made. I am so happy I was wrong. Dr. Vafa did it right on the spot. He used radiosurgery to remove my facial mole. I didn't want any scars on my face, so this new method was quite appealing to me. Also reasonable price fot this posh area of NYC. 10/10 doctor Vafa.

Well rested and smooth but not frozen/artificial

Dr. Vafa is the BEST! Full stop. I won’t let anyone touch my face. His touch is so delicate and you will look your absolute best - well rested and smooth but not frozen/artificial. He gets a 10 star rating from me! Services I do: Baby Botox. In addition, his staff are lovely - polite, knowledgeable, friendly and always helpful.

The Talented Dr. Vafa

I found Dr. Vafa online. I was at wits end because last week, Dr. O (a famous plastic surgeon) suggested that I get another rhinoplasty that would cost $12,500. I got an unnecessary rhinoplasty when I was 19 and my nostrils became triangular shaped. I have suffered from lower self-esteem because of it for so long. I couldn't take the lack of confidence anymore. I made the consultation because I wanted a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Dr. O said it "would not work" and so, I was devastated. I decided to get a second opinion because I just KNEW that all I needed were like 2 injections to fix the problems with my nose. I went to see Dr. Ali Vafa yesterday, and today I got my injections. It took about 10 minutes. My nose is PERFECT!!! And all for under $1,000. Dr. Vafa offers so many other awesome treatments. They have a client for life. I'm so grateful---my life has been completely changed. --Always get other opinions --Keep researching --Never give up
