Carasoin

The name joins two French words that together suggest touching gently and treating and tending with care. Lena Bratschi founded the spa, and it is built around her standards for its treatments and products.

The space blends British and Swiss design sensibilities and is kept small and intimate, so it feels closer to a well-kept private home than a clinic. The business describes itself as a leading full-service boutique day spa and skin clinic in West Hollywood, and says its products are aesthetician-approved and vetted.

Visits are booked by phone at 310-855-0105, since online reservations are not taken, and phone bookings require a valid credit card. The spa is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm, and other days and hours can be arranged on request. Private parking is in the lot at the rear of the building, with metered parking directly in front.

Beyond in-house treatments, the online shop carries skincare, body care, sun care, masks, beauty tools and candles, and gift cards are offered. Shipping is available on all orders, with expedited options.

Spa and skincare offerings are curated to the founder's standards, pairing European elegance with newer innovation.

A small, polished setting with British and Swiss design touches, arranged to feel like an elegant home.
