Top Aesthetic Injector &
Co-founder of Aion Aesthetics
Akis Ntonos has been named the “Top Aesthetic Injector” for two consecutive years (‘22-’23) by Aesthetic Everything and is the co-founder of Aion Aesthetics, New York’s premier injectables clinic. He is a family nurse practitioner (FNP), board certified by the American Academy of Procedural Medicine to administer injectable treatments. In 2022, Aion received the designation of “Best Medical Spa on the East Coast” at the prestigious Aesthetic Everything Awards, furthering the clinic’s mission to support long-term cosmetic vitality with the industry’s most advanced suite of services and a distinctively personalized approach.
Ntonos grew up in Florina, a small city in northern Greece, before relocating to the United States with a scholarship to pursue acting. Upon finishing his program, he still felt something was missing from his journey. Years of injuries from athletics and elite-level fencing nurtured a growing interest in the body’s natural healing processes. This led him toward an education in sports science and, eventually, a doctorate in Traditional Naturopathic Medicine. When he came across the advancing field of aesthetic medicine, he knew it was a perfect fit for his mission of helping others while satisfying his desire for continued learning and professional growth.
Ntonos remains motivated by a firm belief that expanding his knowledge of human anatomy is vital to honing his aesthetic skill. He now holds two bachelor’s degrees, including a bachelor’s of science in nursing from the Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York; a master’s degree as a nurse practitioner from New York’s Pace University; and is currently working toward a second doctoral degree in nursing practice (DNP) at Johns Hopkins University. Along the way, he also trained in aesthetics in the US and Europe, learning from some of the industry’s most accomplished professionals.
For Ntonos, beauty is not about symmetry or “perfection” as culture defines it. Instead, his aim is to truly listen to clients’ stories, identify their areas of physical insecurity, and deliver enhancements that can change a person’s entire life. Named after the Greek term for “eternity,” Aion pursues a timeless aesthetic tailored to suit each client’s unique features. Ntonos finds a great deal of satisfaction in uplifting a client’s self-image, and he is passionate about continuously perfecting his craft with precision, skill, and discipline.
