About

The Modern Ū was founded by Rochelle Gonzalez, who opened the clinic in West Los Angeles in 2017 after moving to the city in 2015 with plans for dental hygiene. A job with a dermatologist drew her into aesthetics, and she later trained at a Santa Monica acne clinic, where she was promoted to lead esthetician within two months. The salon describes itself as an award-winning skincare clinic and as a top three DMK clinic in Southern California, and reports a 5.0 rating across more than 20 Google reviews.

Signature Facials (The Sixty, The Ninety, The One-Twenty and the Back Facial) are customized with targeted exfoliation, extractions, advanced modalities and restorative therapies. The length of the appointment shapes how thorough the session can be. The HydraFacial Experience pairs lymphatic drainage and cleansing with exfoliation, vortex extractions and serum infusions, and finishes with a cooling mask and LED therapy.

The DMK Skin Revision menu includes Enzyme Therapy, a masque-based treatment meant to stimulate circulation and support lymphatic drainage, and BodyZyme for the back, butt, thighs, stomach and arms. StemZyme is an intensive 50-day skin renewal program. Scar Revision is part of the same group, though no price is listed. Peels and advanced resurfacing (Cranberry Clarifying, PCA, Green Sea and RDS peels, plus Cell Story Liquid Microneedling, a no-needle option using marine-based spicules) are reserved for established clients with conditioned skin, and packages of three treatments are discounted.

New clients begin with a 120-minute custom treatment that includes a consultation, and a medical history form must be completed before that first session. Virtual consultations take place over Google Chat or FaceTime and are followed by an email with a routine and product recommendations. Clients who have not checked in for six months can book a shorter virtual follow-up.

Booking requires a valid credit card on file. Cancellations and reschedules should be made at least 24 hours ahead; later changes and same-day no-shows are charged the full service fee. Late arrivals receive as much of the treatment as time allows, and gratuities are left to the client's discretion. Clients under 18 are not serviced.

Treatments are not fixed protocols; each is chosen and customized to the skin's current condition, tolerance and long-term goals, combining corrective actives and advanced treatments with lymphatic and sculptural facial massage.
