Facial Feminization and Masculinization Services
Many male-to-female, female-to-male and non-binary patients seek out gender-affirming facial feminization and masculinization treatments, and Tribeca MedSpa offers a wide variety of non-surgical options. Facial feminization and masculinization encompasses a wide range of services that can alter certain facial features, such as sculpting the jaw, adding volume to the cheeks, and addressing skin concerns, such as uneven skin tone and texture, large pores or acne scarring.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can resurface the skin, creating a rejuvenated, toned result that helps to feminize the face. We offer customized formulations that our providers expertly match to address your specific skincare concerns from superficial to deep layers of the dermis.
Laser Hair Removal
For trans women and some nonbinary people, laser hair removal can be an exciting step in the journey. It’s also a great, noninvasive option suited to wherever you are in your transition process, whether or not you’re opting for surgery.
Laser hair removal is helpful in eliminating unwanted hair across the face, from the jawline to between the eyebrows. As one of the most popular transgender services, laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to stop hair growth at the root. Though most individuals require multiple sessions to be completely hair-free, those who undergo laser hair removal can say goodbye to tweezing, waxing, and threading for good.
Forma Facial
Forma by InMode is a non-surgical, non-invasive facial skin tightening treatment. Like Morpheus8, Forma uses radiofrequency technology to gently warm the subdermal layers of the skin. The warmth stimulates collagen production and skin tightening across the face and can be especially beneficial for facial feminization along the jowls, under eyes, and forehead.
CoolTone®
Where CoolSculpting helps to reduce visible body fat, CoolTone helps to strengthen, tone, and firm muscles. CoolTone uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to penetrate below the top layer of fat and painlessly contract the muscles below. This process helps to enhance muscle mass and definition in the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks for more feminine legs or a more masculine chest.
miraDry®
miraDry offers FDA-cleared treatment for underarm sweating with the additional benefits of hair reduction. With thermal heating technology, miraDry safely eliminates sweat and odor glands from the underarm to reduce excessive underarm sweating and odor. The treatment also impacts hair follicles (the root of the hair) to limit the amount of hair that grows in the underarm area.
