Skin Rejuvenation

Most Popular Facial Treatments in NYC Right Now

Early 2026 data from LaserAway clinics show Potenza RF microneedling as the leading facial treatment in New York City. Emerging facial treatments like Rejuran and SkinPen are also gaining traction as patients look for new ways to improve overall skin quality.

As more patients focus on preventative care and lasting results, treatments that boost collagen and deliver natural-looking improvements are becoming go-to choices across NYC.

NYC Fastest Growing Facial Treatment

Potenza RF microneedling saw the highest increase in treatments compared to the same time period last year.

Potenza RF Microneedling — +45.2% growth

RF microneedling treatments combine ultrafine needles with radiofrequency technology to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.

Patients often choose Potenza for its ability to treat deeper skin concerns with little downtime, making it a strong option for gradual, long-term skin improvement and natural-looking results.

Dr Will Kirby, Chief Medical officer at LaserAway explains, “Potenza is safe for all skin types and is for anyone who’s looking to prevent and correct mild to moderate skin laxity, textural concerns, or pigmentary issues.”

NYC Facial Treatments to Watch in 2026

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is gaining momentum in NYC as patients look for treatments that deliver noticeable skin improvement without significant downtime. By creating controlled micro-injuries, it activates the skin’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin to improve texture, minimize pores, and reduce the appearance of acne scars over time.

SkinPen’s popularity in New York reflects increasing demand for treatments that improve overall skin quality, not just target a single concern, with many patients opting for a series of sessions to support ongoing collagen production.

Rejuran

Rejuran is becoming more popular in New York City as patients seek treatments that go beyond surface-level results and focus on repairing the skin. As LaserAway SVP of Clinic Operations Emily Perbellini explains, “Rejuran is packed with polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA that hydrate the skin from the inside out,” helping support deeper skin healing and regeneration.

Often paired with treatments like SkinPen, Potenza or Clear + Brilliant, Rejuran enhances results by helping improve skin texture, elasticity, and the appearance of scars over time.

Key Facial Trends Defining 2026

Collagen-Stimulating Treatments

Collagen treatments are a defining trend in 2026 because they work with the skin’s natural repair process. Treatments like SkinPen and RF Microneedling create controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin production, leading to gradual improvements in skin texture and firmness over time.

Natural, Long-Term Results Over Quick Fixes

There is a clear shift toward treatments that improve skin gradually rather than relying on immediate, short-term changes. Many facial treatments are designed to support ongoing collagen remodeling, meaning results continue to develop in the weeks and months following treatment.

Regenerative Skin Treatments

Regenerative treatments are gaining traction because they focus on supporting the skin’s healing and recovery processes. Treatments like Rejuran use polynucleotides (PN/PDRN) to help improve skin quality by supporting hydration, repair, and overall skin function at a deeper level.

Preventative + Maintenance-Based Facials

Preventative facials are becoming more common as patients shift toward maintaining skin health over time. Treatments like HydraFacial use a multi-step process to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, making them easy to incorporate into a consistent skincare routine.

Facial Treatment Stacking + Combination Therapy

Patients are increasingly pairing treatments to enhance results and address multiple skin concerns at once. Common facial treatment pairings include:

  • Hydrafacial & Clear + Brilliant: Hydrafacial works to deep clean and exfoliate the skin, allowing Clear + Brilliant laser technology to more effectively improve skin tone and texture.
  • HydraFacial & Injectables: Hydrated, prepped skin can enhance overall results from Botox or filler treatments.
  • Rejuran & Potenza RF Microneedling: This pairing uses radiofrequency energy to create micro-channels that allow Rejuran’s healing DNA fragments to soak deep into the skin immediately after the treatment for maximum structural repair.
  • Rejuran & Clear + Brilliant: Laser-created channels enhance absorption of polynucleotides to support skin repair and texture improvement.
  • Rejuran & SkinPen Microneedling: By using Rejuran as the gliding medium during the procedure, the microneedles actively work the formula into the skin to kickstart collagen production and support a smoother, more even texture.
