This letter is to inform anyone who has had nose trauma or multiple nose surgeries. After living a decade with a deformed nose and contmeplating yet another surgery, I met Dr. Rivkin. I had viewed a television segment about Dr. Rivkin and his special technique of injecting Radiesse into noses and reforming a nose into a more natural appearance It was hard for me to believe that there was a surgery alternative until I made an appointment with Dr. Rivkin. I witnessed his special technique firsthand and today, my once deformed nose; crooked, dented and mangled, now appears more natural.
It is clear that Dr. Rivkin has a unique technique and talent, but more so, Dr. Rivkin is a caring doctor.
He cares about you.

iWestside Medical Spa specializes in providing our clients with the transformative cosmetic results they desire in an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort.
Westside Medical Spa was founded by Alexander Rivkin M.D. -- an accomplished facial cosmetic surgeon who has decided to focus his practice on providing his patients with the latest in non invasive, non ablative aesthetic treatments. He believes that modern medical technology can provide today's patients with superior alternatives to invasive, painful surgery that requires a long recovery time. This is the philosophy behind Westside Medical Spa, where every treatment takes advantage of the latest advances in therapeutic skincare to provide you with great results without downtime. We believe that each patient can and should expect to receive outstanding cosmetic improvements in a relaxed, pleasant setting with no interruption to their busy lifestyle.
Another principle important to Dr. Rivkin is the integration of treatment modalities. Over the years, the practitioners at Westside Medical Spa have become convinced that the only way to get superior results for our patients' complex skin problems is by combining the most effective medical and aesthetic solutions available. We have assembled a team of outstanding, seasoned professionals, including registered nurses, nurse practitioners and licensed estheticians to address all of our patients' aesthetic needs.
Dr. Rivkin has created a whole menu of Non Surgical Cosmetic Procedures, exclusive to our practice. Starting with the original Non Surgical Nose Job, he has expanded his repertoire to include Non Surgical Chin Enhancement, Non Surgical Cheek Enhancement and the Non Surgical Eye Lift. Response has been outstanding, as people from all over the world discover that they do not need surgery to achieve the transformative cosmetic results they desire.
We have, at our disposal, Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, Artefill, Thermage, Fraxel, PhotoFacials, Microdermabrasion, Gentle Acid Peels and our signature facial treatments to bring back the youthful freshness to your face.
The Fraxel II (SR1500) Laser is the latest version of the laser that has become the standard of care for skin rejuvenation. The Fraxel Laser treatment is, by far, the most effective way to smooth out acne scars and correct pigmentation irregularities, while tightening the skin at the same time. The treatment involves a couple of days of swelling and a few days of sunburn-like redness, but it is well worth it in the end.
Thermage is still an excellent option for skin tightening and firming. Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy into the deepest layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and binding together the existing collagen. Thermage is a one time procedure and the collagen stimulation keeps improving for six months. Thermage can be performed on the face, the neck, the hands and most any area throughout the body.
The PhotoFacial is another effective way to eliminate age spots, unsightly capillaries and rosacea. We use the Vasculight Intense Pulsed Light device - it is the standard of care for the industry - combined with the 1064 YAG laser. Results are outstanding, with no downtime and little post-procedure redness.
When we combine the latest in Laser Acne treatments, Microdermabrasion and Acne Fighter facials, your acne doesn't stand a chance! For resistent acne or for severe cases, we use Photodynamic Therapy - a powerful Blue Light based treatment, using Levulan to sensitize the skin to the Blue Light.
Our Lightsheer Diode Laser Hair Removal system treats most skin and hair types quickly and without pain.
So, if you want the kind of results that come exclusively from the state of the art in aesthetic -- facial plastic medicine, come to the expert practitioners. You will be surprised at what we can do for you!
