The Questions People Actually Ask.

If yours is not here, call us on (914) 571-6870 and ask. We would rather answer it before you book than after.

The Practice

About AgeSmart

Ansa Kandamkulathy, a board certified family nurse practitioner, plans and performs every treatment personally. Nothing is delegated to an unlicensed technician after the consultation.

The license the provider holds, and who is in the room. Here every treatment is performed under a clinical license by the same clinician who assessed you and who will review your photographs at the next visit.

182 South Main Street, New City, New York 10956. We see patients on Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Weekend appointments are deliberate, because most people cannot take a weekday off for this.

Yes. Hair restoration, laser hair removal and skin treatments are all commonly requested by men, and several of our pages are written specifically for male patterns and concerns.

We treat adults, and we treat younger patients for acne with a parent or guardian present and involved in the plan. Some treatments are not appropriate below a certain age and we will say so.

Consultations

Before Your First Visit

We look at the area properly, take a full medical and medication history, and ask what you have already tried. Then you get a written recommendation with session counts, spacing and cost. There is no obligation to book on the day.

Allow around forty five minutes for a first visit. That is longer than most places because the history and the baseline photographs are done properly.

A list of your medications and supplements, the products you use on your skin, and a note of any treatments you have had before and how they went. Especially the ones that did not work.

Yes, and that is the main reason to be assessed by a clinician rather than sold to at a counter. You will hear no when no is the right answer, and you will hear why.

Not for a first course. Once a plan is agreed and underway you can usually come straight in for the scheduled sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask Us the Awkward One.

Whether it will work, how long it takes, and what it costs. Those are the three questions worth asking, and we will answer all three straight.

Treatments

About Results and Timelines

It depends entirely on the treatment. Hydration and resurfacing show within days. Collagen and hair respond on a biological schedule that cannot be rushed, usually three to six months. We give you a realistic window before you commit.

Because skin and hair renew on a cycle, and a single session only ever catches one point in that cycle. Spacing sessions correctly is what turns a treatment into a result.

Yes. The same areas, under the same light, every time. It is the only honest way to answer the question of whether a course is working.

We change it. That is what the photographs are for. We would rather adjust a plan halfway than finish a package that is not doing anything.

It varies by treatment and we will tell you exactly what to expect before you book, including how long any redness usually lasts and what you should avoid afterwards.

Practical

Booking, Payment and Policies

Call (914) 571-6870 on a Thursday, Saturday or Sunday, email the practice any day, or use the booking page. Every service is by appointment only, and we confirm each one by phone.

Pricing depends on the treatment and the number of sessions, so we confirm it at your consultation and put it in writing before you agree to anything.

Yes, for the treatments that genuinely need repeating at an interval. They exist to help people finish a course rather than as a requirement.

Call as early as you can and we will move the appointment. Short notice makes it hard to offer the slot to someone else, so we appreciate the heads up.

Yes. We keep clinical records and photographs securely and we do not use anyone image publicly without written consent. Our notice of privacy practices sets out the detail.
