Did you know the medical director behind the conventional New York medspa could be an ER doctor or even a dentist? Not at Telo Labs.
We believe in having the right credentials and specialized expertise. Our Chief Medical Officer is a top plastic surgeon and scientist with over three decades of hands-on experience, and all of our providers are trained extensively in aesthetics.
We like simple. It’s easy to work with us—start with a virtual or in-person consultation, reserve and manage your appointments online, get fast support for aftercare questions, and keep track of your results and rewards in your account. We also offer a private before-and- after portrait program to help you monitor your progress and make great choices about your next steps.
We strive for excellence inside and out, which means we take great care of our staff so they can take great care of our guests.
We push ourselves to provide exceptional clinical care that’s tailored to each patient. And we can only do that by employing the best providers, giving them room to grow, and incentivizing long-term care over short-term production.
We don't just pay lip service to safety—it's in everything we do. Through continuing education, specialized clinical protocols, and weekly check-ins with the Chief Medical Officer, our providers keep safety front and center.
Our team has spent countless hours researching and testing energy-based devices (and avoiding unreliable brands and fads), so if we offer it, we endorse it.
We mean what we say. And when it comes to your skin, we mean it when we say things should be as clear as possible. For too long, patients haven’t been able to compare costs, largely because most providers use obscure, unit-based pricing.
That's why we decided to redefine industry convention and offer results-based pricing, with a fixed price by treatment area that includes free touch-ups.

In 2023, Dr. Ken Rothaus, a Harvard-educated, board-certified plastic surgeon, and Ilan Szekely, an accomplished entrepreneur and Harvard MBA, founded Telo Labs, a New York-based aesthetic clinic. The longtime collaborators felt it was important to address a pervasive issue they saw in medspas and doctors’ offices: these were businesses designed to support the needs of owners and doctors, not the patients.
Rothaus and Szekely founded Telo Labs as a thoughtful solution to this issue, providing a patient-first approach that prioritizes excellent aesthetics and elevated service.
A board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Manhattan and Westchester, Dr. Rothaus has earned a reputation for producing exceptional results for his patients.
Over the past three decades, Rothaus has become known as an expert in minimally-invasive procedures and non-surgical treatments, and is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Medical School, he’s a frequent contributor to medical texts and scientific papers including Hospital Smarts (the book he co-authored), and a patent-holder for his research in plastic surgery.
Rothaus currently maintains medical privileges at New York Presbyterian Hospital as well as Weill Cornell Hospital for Special Surgery, and is committed to his passion for educating fellow medical providers. He’s been featured on The View and Good Morning America as well as in publications like Vogue, GQ, and The New York Times.
Before teaming up with Dr. Rothaus to launch Telo Labs, Mr. Szekely was part of the senior investment team at a large private equity firm, where he covered healthcare, consumer, and other industries.
During his investment career, Szekely served on several boards of directors, including a skincare manufacturing company, where he developed a passion for skincare and longevity.
A graduate of both Yale University and Harvard Business School, Szekely previously founded a non-profit called Plan Pais that aims to connect the Venezuelan diaspora.
If you’re a nurse practitioner or physician assistant who’s ready for a culture of respect, a chance to grow, and an opportunity for ownership, we hope you’ll get in touch.
