Lushful Aesthetics has always been NYC’s med spa for people who know what they want. Our clientele spans gay men, trans women, trans men, nonbinary individuals, and everyone across the spectrum. What they have in common is showing up to InjectorChris with a clear vision for how they want to look and feel.

That’s exactly what we’re here for.

Whether you’re looking to reminisce about your features, sharpen a more masculine profile, or somewhere in between, Lushful offers the non-surgical tools to get you there, with the clinical expertise and community fluency to back it up.

Why Queer Patients Choose Lushful

There’s a reason Lushful has been featured in Out, Gay Times, GQ, and so.gay. It’s because, along with InjectorChris’s exceptional work, Lushful is a space where LGBTQ+ patients don’t have to explain themselves. You walk in with your goals, and Chris Bustamante, DNP, NP-C, delivers.

Chris founded Lushful with the understanding that aesthetic goals are deeply personal. For many LGBTQ+ patients, they’re also deeply tied to identity. He approaches every consultation without assumptions, without judgement, and with the kind of clinical precision that produces results people travel from across the country for.

This is gender-inclusive aesthetics done right, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

Transgender Laser Hair Removal NYC

Laser hair removal is one of the most requested treatments among transgender and gender-expansive patients at Lushful, and one of the most meaningful.

For trans women and femme-presenting individuals, clearing facial and body hair is often a foundational step in their transition. For trans men, precision shaping can enhance a more masculine presentation. For nonbinary patients, it’s about defining the look on their own terms.

Lushful’s laser hair removal is performed with advanced technology suited for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. Importantly, Chris and the team understand how hormone therapy affects hair growth patterns over time. Treatment plans are built around where you are in your journey, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What to expect at Lushful:

A personalized treatment with Chris and his team to assess your skin, hair type, and goals.
A customized treatment plan that accounts for any hormone therapy you’re on.
Comfortable, discreet care at our Midtown NYC location, or at our Hillcrest, San Diego clinic, located at the heart of one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly neighborhoods in the country.

If you’ve been searching for trans-friendly laser hair removal near you in NYC, Lushful is the answer.

Feminization Services: Non-Surgical, High-Impact

Surgical facial feminization is one path. But for patients who want real results without surgery, downtime, or a six-figure price tag, non-surgical feminization through injectables delivered when done by someone who knows what they’re doing.

InjectorChris has extensive experience working with trans women, femme men, and gender-nonconforming patients who want to soften and reshape their features. Every treatment plan starts with your face, your anatomy, and your goals.

Facial Feminization with Filler

Strategic dermal placement can meaningfully shift the way a face reads:

Lip filler for fuller, more defined lips with feminine shape
Cheek filler to add lift and softness to the midface
Chin filler to refine and taper the chin profile
Jawline softening to reduce angular definition
Temple filler to restore volume and smooth the upper face
Under-eye filler for an open, rested appearance

Filler for LGBTQ+ patients at Lushful is never generic. Chris works from your facial structure and your vision, building results that look natural because they’re designed specifically for you.

Botox for Feminization

FreshTox at Lushful goes well beyond smoothing forehead lines. For feminization, neuromodulators can:

Elevate the brow arch for a more feminine eye shape
Slim the masseter for a softer, less angular lower face
Refine the lip line and create a subtle lip flip
Reduce tension across the forehead for smoother, lighter appearance

No downtime, no surgery, and results in days.

Masculinization Services: Building an Aesthetically Male Profile

Gender-affirming aesthetics at Lushful isn’t only about feminization. Trans men, masc presenting individuals, and patients seeking a sharper, more defined masculine appearance are equally at home here.

The features most associated with a strong male profile face, such as a defined jaw, projected chin, flatter brow, and structural angularity, are all addressable through non-surgical treatment at Lushful.

Masculinization with Filler

Jawline filler to widen and define jaw structure
Chin filler for forward projection and a stronger chin profile
Cheek filler placed for angularity and definition rather than lift
Temple and facial balancing to create overall structural harmony

Masculinization with Botox

Brow lowering to create a heavier, more pronounced brow ridge
Forehead flattening for a broader, more masculine forehead appearance
Masseters work to enhance jaw presence.

Whether you’re early in your transition, between surgical procedures, or simply looking for non-surgical options that move the need, Chris builds a plan around your anatomy and where you want to go.

Beyond the Binary

Not every patient is looking to move toward traditionally masculine or feminine aesthetics. Many Lushful patients want something more personal, an androgynous balance, targeted refinements, or enhancements that make them feel more like themselves.

Lushful’s consultations are open-ended by design. Chris doesn’t start with a template; he starts with a conversation. There are no assumptions about what your results should look like, only a commitment to delivering what you’re actually after.

For patients on hormone therapy, both estrogen and testosterone, Chris factors in how those treatments affect the skin, the face, and hair over time. Aesthetic goals evolve, and Lushful is built to support them at every stage.
