Aiza Karimova Skincare is a quiet, thoughtfully designed, woman-founded and woman-run private skincare studio on the Upper East Side of New York, with a warm, almost homey atmosphere.
We’ve intentionally designed the studio to be quiet and uncluttered — free from the rush and formality often found in larger spas. This setting allows for genuine relaxation, for both body and nervous system. It’s in this state of calm that the skin’s natural renewal processes are activated, leading to deeper, longer-lasting results.
The studio’s founder, Aiza Karimova, is a licensed esthetician and one of the pioneers of buccal massage in New York City. Before opening her own studio, Aiza spent seven years honing her craft at one of New York’s premier salons, helping clients relieve jaw tension and achieve natural facial lifting. Her approach and results have been featured by Goop, and Aiza has become a recognized expert in the beauty and wellness field.
Every visit begins with a personalized assessment of your skin and body. The studio offers a wide range of treatments: classic and deep-cleansing facials, face massages, body lymphatic drainage, anti-cellulite programs, and nail care services. Each treatment is tailored individually — based on your skin’s condition, body tone, and the goals that matter most to you.
Whether you come to address a specific concern, for prevention, or simply to carve out a moment for yourself — at Aiza Karimova Skincare, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, lighter, and in balance.

Buccal massage is generally a gentle, relaxing, and soothing treatment that can help calm the nervous system. In rare cases, mild discomfort may occur, especially when the facial and jaw muscles are particularly tense. We always adjust the pressure and intensity to your comfort level throughout the treatment.
Yes, you can enjoy buccal massage between Botox treatments. We recommend waiting at least 3–4 weeks after your Botox injections before having a massage. Facial massage between Botox sessions can help relieve muscle tension, improve tissue mobility, support circulation and lymphatic drainage, and maintain facial comfort while certain muscles have reduced activity from Botox.
It depends on your goals. A single session can be a great option before a special event to give your face a refreshed, more sculpted appearance, or simply to relax and release tension. However, for more noticeable and lasting results, both in facial appearance and muscle relaxation, we recommend a course of treatments. Once your initial course is complete, periodic maintenance sessions can help you maintain the results.
There’s no one-size-fits-all rule. The ideal frequency depends on your skin’s condition, concerns, and goals. If your skin is generally healthy and you have no active concerns, a facial every 5–6 weeks is a good guideline, as this roughly aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. After your first visit, we’ll recommend a schedule tailored to your skin’s needs.
If you have multiple inflamed blemishes, some redness may occur on the day of your treatment. However, most of our clients leave with calm, comfortable-looking skin because we finish every facial with a soothing mask tailored to your skin’s needs.
There’s no need to arrive without makeup. We always begin with a thorough cleanse. Please stop using exfoliating acids 2–3 days before your appointment. If you’ve recently had injectable treatments, such as Botox or dermal fillers, or undergone laser treatments, we recommend waiting 3–4 weeks before your facial.
Both Aiza and our specialists follow the same high standards of care. Through years of daily hands-on experience, Aiza has developed extensive knowledge of different facial treatments, massage techniques, and treatment protocols across multiple professional skincare lines. Her broader experience allows her to draw from a wider range of techniques and approaches when customizing each treatment. Her appointments are priced accordingly.
No. It uses tipped cones that work only in the surface layer, without needles, so there is no bleeding or visible downtime.
