Non-invasive aesthetic treatments for face and body
Combining surgical expertise with cutting-edge non-invasive technology
Coolspa was founded by Dr. David P. Rapaport, a board-certified plastic surgeon. This background matters—a surgeon's understanding of facial anatomy, proportions, and balance informs how non-invasive treatments are applied. You're getting a non-invasive practice with surgical-level expertise.
Dr. Rapaport understands intimately what surgery can achieve—and what it costs in terms of recovery, downtime, and risk. He also understands the anatomy. Rather than positioning Coolspa as a competitor to surgical treatments, he built it as the ideal complement: patients who want significant improvement without surgery, downtime, or general anesthesia. Sofwave fits naturally into this philosophy. It works with the body's own biology to restore youthful appearance without invasive intervention.
Coolspa is now part of the Aethos family of aesthetic practices. This integration brings benefits: access to shared protocols, continuing education across multiple locations, and a broader network of expertise. You're not at a standalone medspa—you're part of a practice network that prioritizes consistency and advancement.
With two locations serving Manhattan, Coolspa makes it easy to fit treatment into your life. Both locations operate with the same standards and expertise, so you can choose based on convenience without sacrificing quality.
Coolspa offers a full range of non-invasive treatments. Sofwave integrates naturally into this ecosystem. If you're interested in combining treatments—say, Sofwave for skin tightening plus another modality for texture or pigmentation—Coolspa can orchestrate a comprehensive approach designed by someone (Dr. Rapaport) who understands both surgical outcomes and non-invasive possibilities.
Dr. Rapaport's surgical background informs how Sofwave is applied at Coolspa. The goal isn't just to deliver the treatment—it's to deliver results that align with surgical-quality aesthetics.
A surgeon sees faces in three dimensions and understands proportion, balance, and harmony. This knowledge informs how Sofwave is applied. Treatment isn't one-size-fits-all—it's customized to your specific facial anatomy, aging pattern, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Rapaport and his team think like surgeons even when delivering non-invasive treatment.
While many practices focus solely on facial Sofwave, Coolspa applies the technology to face and body. This aligns with Dr. Rapaport's holistic view of aesthetic improvement. Whether it's facial tightening, neck rejuvenation, or body contouring, Sofwave is tailored to each area's unique anatomy and aging patterns.
Coolspa doesn't view treatments in isolation. Sofwave for skin tightening can be combined with other technologies for a comprehensive result. The goal is to achieve surgical-quality improvement without surgery. This "non-invasive facelift" approach is more sophisticated than single-treatment delivery.
Because Dr. Rapaport knows what surgery can achieve, he's precise about what non-invasive treatment can and can't do. You'll get honest assessment about whether Sofwave alone will meet your goals, or if combination treatment would be more effective. This clarity prevents disappointment and ensures alignment between treatment and expectations.
Dr. Rapaport understands both surgical and non-invasive possibilities. He can assess your goals realistically and recommend whether Sofwave alone will satisfy your needs or whether combining treatments would be better. He's not incentivized to oversell Sofwave because he knows the full spectrum of options. That perspective is invaluable.
For appropriate candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity, yes—Sofwave can deliver impressive tightening without surgery. For patients with severe skin laxity, surgery might be the only option to meet goals. Dr. Rapaport's team will assess your specific situation and recommend the approach most likely to satisfy you.
Aethos prioritizes integration across multiple locations and modalities. Rather than treating Sofwave as a standalone service, Aethos views it as one tool in a comprehensive non-invasive platform. This allows for more sophisticated combination approaches and ensures consistency across locations.
Sofwave has zero downtime and delivers meaningful results for many patients. Even if you eventually choose surgery, starting with Sofwave lets you assess your tolerance for aesthetic change and understand what works for your face. It's a lower-risk way to explore improvement before committing to surgery.
