Nestled on a most tony Park Avenue corner of the UES, you’ll be beyond lucky to experience Aion Aesthetics for ultimate and personalized beauty enhancement. Co-Founder Akis Ntonos, a master of his craft, is known for promoting his clientele’s natural beauty with fine touches in customized multi-phase plans.  Alas, he rightly wins “Top Aesthetic Injectors” and Aion Aesthetics wins “Top Medical Spa East Coast” in the 2022 Aesthetic Everything® Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards! Further, his discerning patrons have been traveling from far and wide for the superior services of this notable NYC aesthetic clinic to achieve their beauty goals with natural elegant results.

Aion Aesthetics is founded and run by the charming, personable and hardworking “A” Team of Akis Ntonos (Akis) and Anastasios Mikroulis (Taso). Board certified from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM) Akis is the injectable specialist (aka facial architect) with extensive and ongoing education and training.  He is a family nurse practitioner in NYC, as well as the lead injector and trainer for a national MedSpa chain, in addition to managing his small family-owned business.  He graduated top of his class during his nursing academia and became interested in aesthetics early on in his education.  Currently, he is completing his Doctor of Nursing Practice at Johns Hopkins University.  Taso is the clinical director/director of sales, your first person of contact, who ensures all patients are comfortable and taken care of prior, during, and after treatment.  He’s worked in sales for a vast majority of his professional life and has a natural love for providing hospitality.  He’s the life coach and brother you wish you had!  Taso has also been a weight loss and management coach since 2014.

Aion Aesthetics is unlike any MedSpa I’ve ever been to.  Rather it is truly a full-service boutique aesthetic clinic with a gamut of services. There are the traditional treatments of neurotoxins and fillers, in addition to the most current innovative services for rejuvenation skin glow, peels, and facials to vitamin shots and weight loss/management support.  All your needs can be met here, in a friendly comfortable office/spa environment, and by experts whose passion stems from their desire to make people feel the beauty they already possess. For my consult and session, I met with Akis for a full hour as he addressed my concerns before deciding on my initial course of action. I did Botox on my problem areas of forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet — I’ve gone a tad too long looking and feeling angry and old since the pandemic — and I’m absolutely thrilled with my results, truly superior to any I’ve had before. A professional and artistic injector, Akis talked me through the process, answered my many questions, and performed the injections with such skill that I felt zero pain. He was done before I realized, and I definitely expected discomfort as this is not my first rodeo with neurotoxins and fillers. He has this light tapping technique to administer the shots — which for me proved brilliant and surprisingly was most effective if you’re averse to any type of needles. Also, he seemed to know how many units I would need for best results, and a couple days later, I don’t believe I’d need to return for additional touch-up units (at no additional cost).  His calculations are spot on. In the past I needed to return to clinics up to three times, yet never experienced this level of perfection I sought for wrinkle-free and refreshed skin that looks natural. Furthermore, both Akis and Taso are kind, there is no pressure or judgment from them, as I lamented my aging issues and perhaps hold off the hands of time gracefully — for a few more years. And I will say I’ve been to MedSpas where the sales pressure is great, and I feel more self-conscious when I leave!  In the near future, I do see myself returning to Aion Aesthetics for certain procedures I’ve put on the back burner, simply for fear, and because I really endeavor to find a trusted expert. The solution is Akis, for superior expertise, artistry and product/service.

1. Aion is definitely more than a typical MedSpa, with an extensive array of services and leading-edge treatments. How would you describe your facility? 

Aion is an award-winning aesthetic boutique clinic where clients come to get attentive 1-1 care. We would describe it as an intimate surreptitious place where people come to receive the latest treatments available in the market by a highly skilled injector. Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with our clients for life. Co-founder, and Director of Operation, Taso is the first person you will see when you enter the clinic and the one who will make sure everything goes smoothly from the booking of the appointment to making sure you are comfortable enough before entering the room.

2. Akis is both an artist and professional, a highly educated and trained nurse practitioner. Why does he apply his expertise to aesthetics, further establishing a business to help people achieve and maintain their natural beauty? 

Akis has worked in different modalities over the years. Being an elite fencer in the past and part of the Greek National Fencing team for over a decade, he always had an artistic inclination. While training next to many top providers in the industry, he developed his own techniques and unique approaches to medical aesthetics. His aesthetic is often described as elegant and decorous. While always trying to optimize the unique features on a face, he stays respectful to the natural characteristics that each person possess.

3. Can you describe your typical clientele? 

We cater to everyone from different age ranges and genders. We cater to a wide variety of ages anywhere from Gen X to Gen Z. Millennials happen to be our most seen clients and I have to say that we see a pretty even count between male and female clientele, and some non-binary even. Our clients are dynamic leaders, artists, entrepreneurs or just the person next door. One size doesn’t fit all, therefore we make sure each visit has a unique approach so each client that comes into our office receives the best possible care. Our focus is to fairly guide you in order to receive the best treatment possible for your needs with the best outcomes. Our price point reflects our experience and expertise while it attracts the client who knows what they want, although we definitely encourage people who are new to aesthetic injectable treatments to inquire within. We currently offer free consultations for new clients so they can get to know us and meet our injector Akis 1-1.

4. If possible, can you say what are the most popular cosmetic procedures requested?  And does this vary by age groups?  Do you see trends post-pandemic? 

This is a difficult question to answer, since different ages tend to gravitate towards different treatments. Definitely on the top of the list are neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau). They are less invasive in comparison to other treatments, and they can work great in preventing formation of fine lines and wrinkles while they provide a restful look. Another popular treatment are fillers. They have the unique ability to enhance existing structures on the face, but also reestablish lost volume in areas where collagen has diminished. The pandemic resulted in countless web-meetings that made most people aware of things that they never paid attention to on their faces. Treatments such as PRP/PRF injections and microneedling that can deliver better complexion became more popular than ever. These treatments use the patient’s own platelets to stimulated collagen production, improve under-eye bags and dark circles, reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores as well as provide a more even complexion.

When you’re in New York, a visit to Aion Aesthetics is a must to achieve your skin care and maintenance goals. You’ll receive 100% of the staff’s attention in an intimate space, and the whole approach is most client centric. By appointment only, the clinic will accommodate after work/late day appointments and will open on Sundays when needed!  See aionnyc.com for a list of treatments and specials available, in addition to learning more about this unique aesthetic practice.
