Westwood Laser Spa

Westwood Laser Spa offers laser-based treatments at its Westwood Boulevard location in Los Angeles. Its menu centers on laser hair removal, which is performed on a Soprano ICE diode laser system, Platinum edition, that the salon says combines three laser wavelengths. The salon describes this device as the gold standard for laser hair removal and claims its hair removal is the safest and most effective in the world. Those are the salon's own claims.

The salon also runs two laser facial treatments: the Laser Genesis Facial, which aims to stimulate collagen in targeted spots and soften the look of fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles and acne scars, and the Laser Carbon Peel Facial, which is described as non-invasive with little downtime and aims to lift away the outer layer of skin and reduce the look of blemishes, pores and acne scars.

Laser tattoo removal is done on a Picoway laser. The salon notes that treatment usually takes four to six appointments for an average tattoo, and that black ink is typically the easiest to target.

Beyond lasers, the salon offers injectables, which are customized to each client's facial structure and skin type, and says they are given by experienced professionals with minimal discomfort. It also lists EMS Body Sculpting, which targets the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, and Endosphères therapy, a compressive microvibration treatment described for cellulite reduction, body contouring and skin texture.

A free consultation is listed, which is a practical place to start if you are unsure which treatment fits. Laser hair removal often takes multiple sessions depending on the size of the area, hair type, skin type and how the body responds. Sessions can be short for the upper lip and about 15 to 30 minutes for larger areas such as arms, legs or the back.

Treatments are planned around the area, skin type and hair or tattoo type, with multiple sessions typically needed for hair removal and tattoo removal.
