Smooth Synergy

What Smooth Synergy does

Smooth Synergy® is a private, founder-owned medical spa and laser center founded in 2002 by Nicole Contos and headquartered at 180 East 79th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The practice pioneered and trademarked the term "cosmedical spa" — combining cosmetic and medical-grade treatments under one roof — and is one of the first dedicated medical spas in New York City. Its business is built around a comprehensive menu of noninvasive aesthetic treatments spanning neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau), hyaluronic acid and biostimulator dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, Sculptra, Kybella), PRP/PRF therapies, ultrasound skin tightening (Ultherapy), RF microneedling, cold plasma skin and hair treatments, Candela GentleMax Pro laser hair removal, LPG Endermologie, FemiLift laser, Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, chemical peels, facials, and proprietary procedures including the "Fanny Facial" and the 8 Point Liquid Facelift.

The underlying technology stack relies on FDA-cleared medical devices (Candela laser systems, LPG Cellu M6 Alliance, radiofrequency and ultrasound platforms, microneedling devices) and medical-grade topical formulations, combined under a "synergistic layering" methodology that pairs multiple modalities per client plan. Operations are physically delivered by an in-house team of licensed estheticians supervised by on-site Medical Director Dr. George Liakeas, MD (a magna cum laude Einstein College of Medicine graduate and 20+ year Master Injector). The practice also markets a proprietary Nicole Contos Signature Skincare line of paraben-free products sold both in-spa and via an online storefront.

Commercially, Smooth Synergy operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model serving individual clients at a single Manhattan location. Treatments are sold individually with a required $100 non-refundable booking deposit, 24-hour cancellation policy, and gift card and prepaid-service channels. Target segments include affluent Manhattan individuals seeking facial rejuvenation and body contouring, men (Brotox/Trap Tox), teens and young adults (acne and maintenance facials), and adults pursuing sexual wellness and hormonal health (O-Shot, P-Shot, FemiLift, Biote BHRT). The company has remained founder-owned since inception with no institutional investors, and operates from a single location at 1-10 employees with no public revenue disclosure.
