Christopher David Aesthetics

Christopher David Aesthetics is a facial studio on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood. The studio describes itself as a destination for skin treatments and facials aimed at a range of skin concerns. Its founder, Christopher David Szamosszegi, is also the skincare formulator behind the studio's own product line.

The facial menu runs from 30-minute visits to 70-minute appointments. The Signature Facial starts at $200 and lasts 70 minutes; it opens with a skin consultation, is customized to skin type, and combines steam, cleansing, exfoliation and extractions as needed with LED light, an oxygen treatment and a Hydrojelly mask. The HydraFacial starts at $250, takes 60 minutes, and cleanses, extracts and hydrates with serums chosen for individual needs; it suits all skin types and can be followed by LED light and an oxygen infusion, with a Hydrojelly mask as an add-on. The Blemish Fix Facial starts at $300 and runs 70 minutes. It is designed for acne-prone and congested skin and uses exfoliation, extractions and an oxygen treatment with acne-fighting ingredients, and it needs extra time for a skin consultation beforehand.

For shorter visits, Glow and Go takes 30 minutes and pairs red LED light therapy with radiofrequency, with oxygen therapy or a custom Hydrojelly mask available as add-ons. Take A Breather is a 30-minute oxygen facial using concentrated oxygen with vitamins and antioxidants, and a custom Hydrojelly mask can be added. The Fresh Glow Facial uses a glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid peel, an ultrasonic serum infusion, LED light therapy, an illuminating Hydrojelly mask and an oxygen treatment with hyaluronic acid and vitamins.

Services are by appointment only. Clients can book online, by phone or by email. Treatments are also offered on film sets and at clients' homes.

The studio describes its founder's approach to facial treatments as clinical and results-driven, with the aim of formulating effective products.
