Beverly Hills Aesthetic Medics

The business is a medspa on South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. It describes itself as having celebrated more than 25 years in medical aesthetics and says its goal is to enhance a client's natural features rather than change who they are. Office visits are by appointment only, and the business lists its hours as Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed Sunday.

Neurotoxin treatments are the core of the menu. Botox is listed at $15 per unit, Dysport at $5.50 per unit and Xeomin at $14 per unit. Neurotoxins are priced by the unit, and the nurse recommends a number of units during the appointment. Botox is most often used in the upper face and is also used for jawline slimming, TMJ and underarm sweating. A typical Botox visit runs about 30 minutes, with the injections taking a few minutes, and ice packs and numbing cream are available on request. The business states that Botox is FDA-approved.

Dermal fillers are offered for the lips, cheeks, under the eyes, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Most of the fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, and a numbing cream is applied before treatment. Results are described as lasting from 6 to 18 months, depending on the filler and the area treated. Juvederm is named as one of the more popular options. The menu also lists Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, Skinvive, Morpheus8 and ViPeel among its treatments, along with skin rejuvenation and body contouring.

Laser hair removal is offered for the underarms, face, bikini area and legs, and for other areas with coarse, dark hair, on all skin types and tones. Sessions range from $75 to $350 depending on the size of the area. The business notes that a full course typically takes 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, and it says many patients reach 80 to 90 percent permanent hair reduction after a full series. Cooling is used for comfort. Before treatment, the area should not be plucked or waxed and should be shaved on the day of the appointment. Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided for at least a week afterward.

Vitamin shots and IV drips are offered for energy and overall wellness, priced from $50 to $150. The IV drips deliver vitamins, minerals and hydration directly into the bloodstream, with infusion typically taking 30 to 60 minutes after a small IV is placed in the arm. Drip contents are customized to each client's needs and goals, and a registered nurse suggests a treatment based on the benefits the client wants. Some clients come in monthly for ongoing wellness, while others book as needed. Clients are asked to drink plenty of fluids beforehand and to eat a light meal or snack. Those with medical conditions, those taking medications, or those who are pregnant are asked to consult the team first.

Skincare and facial treatments are tailored to skin type and start at $150. A free phone consultation is offered to first-time patients, and it can be booked through the online scheduler or by calling or texting (310) 273-4247. Treatments not listed online can be requested by phone or text. Aesthetic treatments are generally advised for people 18 and older, and patients under 18 need parental consent.

Treatment plans are personalized to each client's needs and goals, with the aim of enhancing natural beauty.

The business describes its setting as relaxed and welcoming, and its facility as state-of-the-art and luxurious.
