About Westside Aesthetics
Accomplished, Yale-trained facial plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Z. Rivkin founded Westside Aesthetics to provide his patients with beautifying, medical-grade treatments without the discomfort and downtime required by surgery. At Westside Aesthetics, patients can enjoy technologically advanced skin-care services in an intimate, luxurious environment where every aspect of their treatment is personally supervised by Dr. Rivkin.
Westside offers a wide array of injectables, such as Botox®, Restylane, and Radiance for facial rejuvenation. All injectable procedures are administered by Dr. Rivkin himself, including "injection rhinoplasty," which uses various injectable fillers to effect subtle changes in the contours of the nose. This temporary procedure is much less expensive and debilitating than plastic surgery. Teenagers and others wary of the permanent effects of plastic surgery are common candidates for injection rhinoplasty. Dr. Rivkin's IPL photo-facial and laser hair removal system have been known to achieve lasting effects for most skin types in much less time than other lasers.
Licensed aestheticians perform Westside's medical spa treatments, which include exfoliating chemical peels, a full-hour acne facial, and microdermabrasion. The waiting room at Westside features a balcony and available chocolate, espresso, cappuccino, and water.

Makeup Application

4.00 out of 5 stars
I decided to get my makeup applied before a wedding-I was going as bridesmaid. I left the spa extremely satisfied with the application-I learned some new tricks, which colors work best with my skin tone and eye color. If I could afford it, I'd get my makeup done all the time! I felt very pampered and was happy with the results!

I went to get my microdermabrasion for the spa deal days and was surprised that it was only 30 minutes. When I left, the lady said I can come back for a full hour microdermabrasion. I guess I'm not really getting a discount since I paid $50 for only 30 minute service. The staff was talking a lot too. Not very professional. The facial lady was wearing high heels on wooden floors. Needless to say it was loud too.

The experience was very good. I went in for a facial and ended up adding a blue light treatment. I was amazed at the results and I have gone back again.

A New West LA Spa Tradition
-
5.00 out of 5 stars
I started seeing Dr. Rivkin at Westside Aesthetics just before I took my PhD exams at UCLA. He first gave me botox to undo that tired, overworked and over-stressed appearance I gained during graduate school. Everyone complimented me on how relaxed I looked at graduation! I see Malia, the aesthetician every month for general skin maintenance with the acne fighter facial. I haven't had a breakout since. Nurse Natalie Bland gave me an IPL photofacial which completely obliterated redness around my nose and cheeks. My appearance is now rejuvenated without that plastic or frozen side effect that is typical of so many other big name cosmetic dermatologists. Most recently, I had Dr. Rivkin give me Juvaderm to eliminate the deep lines around my mouth and soften the the puffiness under my eyes. Dr. Rivkin and his staff are the most personable and unpretentious group in the aesthetic spa business. Every time I call to book an appointment I feel like I am calling friends. The girls at the front desk are always willing to work with my schedule and I never feel hurried or rushed out when my appointment is finished. I have recently started using the Westside Aesthetics cleansing and moisturizing products, which I like even better than the Is-Clinical line. I HIGHLY recommend this spa for anyone who wants an honest Doctor and the most highly trained, caring spa staff in the West LA/ Beverly Hills/ Santa Monica area.

Quick, painless PERFECTION

I had a terrific experience with Dr. Rivkin and the West Side Medical Spa. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Rivkin was very patient and informative, answering all of my questions. I had initially gone in for botox, but immediately felt comfortable enough with Dr. Rivkin to share my displeasure with the downward tip of my nose. Within minutes, both procedures were complete and my imperfections were corrected. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the cost was very reasonable. I have since recommended Dr. Rivkin to friends who have had skincare treatments, all of which share positive results!

I am a skeptic when it comes to everything. I visited Dr. Rivkin and continue to come back time and again. He is a very informative and great doctor with a great sense of humor. The staff is also very helpfu and that puts me at ease. I say 5 stars to west side medical spa any day.

I went here to have my malasma treated, and ended deciding to have a consultation with the dr. about the non surgical nose job. after my consultation with the dr., I decided to have it done and am really satisfied with the results. I LOVE my new nose! and the fact that I was able to change the look of my profile and I didn't have to have surgery was really a huge plus for me. The staff is very friendly, I enjoy the atmosphere and have always been pleased with all the services I've had here.
