Belle Medical

Just had my first facial with Brooke, The Skin Care Guru, and I am super excited for my journey into happy, healthy beautiful skin Work Your magic B

Love, love, LOVE this place! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! I’ve been seeing Tina K, the owner, regularly for facials the past 6 months. I have super sensitive skin and the Diamond K facials have made the world of difference. My skin, overall, is so much healthier and more supple. I also use her line of skin care products, which are natural and great for a variety of skin types. Tina is such a sweetheart! She really cares about her clients, and the health of their skin. She was recommended to me by a close friend, and I highly recommend her skin care clinic to everyone!

My skin has been needing some TLC and after driving by the pioneer medical spa in Studio City, I decide to call Belle Medical and treat myself.
Their most popular treatment is the new Diamond K Advanced treatment. This treatment is designed to make your skin smoother, brighter, and removes all the dead skin.
I was extremely impressed with this treatment because it was not harsh on my skin but yet provided outstanding clear skin results!
The spa itself is beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
Here are my big takeaways:
Cleanser was so silky and felt so good on my skin (products used are Tina K-​the spa founder product line).
The exfoliator by Tina K step felt amazing and tingling– such a treat. I need this in my life.
Then the Diamond*K started to my Face, Neck, Shoulder, Chest. The handheld device isn’t harsh on the skin and Brooke applied just the right pressure. The device is designed to exfoliate all your dead skin off without downtime. I later found out this exfoliating device will be available in their retail store– coming soon. I can’t wait!!!
Then I got to Steam — zen time
I also received a wonderful Face, Neck, Shoulder Massage – more zen time!
Extractions I had a lot of build up from stress and Brooke was able to careful unclog my pores
Hydrating or Purifying Mask– one of my most favorite steps– this mask felt beyond amazing and soothing on my new skin
Tina K Anti Oxidant Preparation– lightweight serums that are beneficial for brightening and reducing sun damage
Moisture and Protect which sealed in hydration and left my skin completely satisfied
All in all this facial blew me away and so did the Tina K products. My skin was left radiant with a healthy new glow.
Thank you Brooke and Belle Medical for the wonderful experience!

I love Tina Kay on a personal and professional level. Her Diamond facials are the best, and are really taking my skin to the next level. Tina is also incredibly honest and will never recommend any service that she does not think you need. Not to mention, the spa itself is gorgeous, clean, and relaxing. Coming here is such a treat for me. I raved about Tina to my mom, who now also comes regularly. Tina is sensitive to vegans and will not use products on you that are not vegan.

I would give this place 10 stars it’s amazing. Beautifully decorated and incredible treatments. I had the Aluma treatment from the one and only Tina K and I’m not going anywhere else. Highly recommend!!! She and her entire staff are fabulous.

Brooke was AMAZING! I had the DIAMOND*K ADVANCED, which was FANTASTIC! Brooke knows her stuff! It was by far the best facial I have ever received. I highly recommend Belle Visage AND Brooke. I need look no more, this is the place for me.

Brooke’s diamond facial is INCREDIBLE! I was walking down Ventura last week, and I stopped by this place on my way back from the hardware store (like you do) and decided to stop in. What an unexpectedly phenomenal experience! I was going to get a microdermabrasion but Brooke suggested their new «diamond file facial» (both the same price) and holy cow was it amazing! My skin is radiant, glowing and so so smooth. The facial is nearly an hour and a half. Not only did I feel pampered, but I felt as though they were really getting work done. Often times I feel you either get one or the other. Here it is both. I cannot speak to other aestheticians at this salon, but Brooke has been the best I’ve ever experienced. She really got down with those extractions, too which I’m so so grateful for. Because the facial lasts 50% longer than a standard facial, she has the time to do them and so much more. Plus I even found a super cute shirt I purchased on my way out from their little boutique.
The price is a bit higher than most places, but when you consider that it’s nearly an hour and a half, it seems to all even out.

I’ve been going here for at least 10 years. I love Brooke! Brooke is such a pleasure and the staff is always nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this spot if you are in need of some beauty and rejuvenation.

I love it here! My skin is transforming thanks to Brooke — the diamond facials, peels, & miracle products have allowed me to feel confident enough to leave the house without makeup for the first time in years.
Her advice on cleansing for beauty was essential
My brows are fierce
And I can put off the fillers & surgeries for a while — thank god — I’m only 36 but this is LA …

I must say, that as a man, I was a bit reluctant to get a facial. But I did it, I figured it couldn’t be too bad, but I never expected myself to fall in love with it. I highly recommend the Diamond K advanced treatment. Sounds girly, but I can’t deny the feeling of a hour+ treatment that leaves you feeling refreshed and smooth like a baby’s you know what ;)
The staff I’ve dealt with have been more than welcoming, i highly recommend this place to all first timers.

Who would’ve thought one of the best medical spas can be found right in Studio City. Recently had a facial from Tina K. and she took incredible care of my skin and did some much needed extractions. The next day I was glowing. Not to mention her own line of products are wonderful. I especially love the minty clay cleanser that I use as a mask!

Best day spa in studio city. Staff is knowledgeable and courteous. I especially like getting my nails done by Rea!
They offer so many wonderful services like waxing and micro dermabrasion for the face it just leaves you feeling younger when you leave the spa definitely treat yourself to this experience.

I finally had the chance to «devirginize» my face at Belle Visage.
Charo, the spa manager, couldn’t have been more sweet and helpful. She made me feel right at home, offered me some sweet cupcakes, coffee and tea. The spa itself is beautiful and chic — do know it’s not the cheapest place to do any sort of waxing, botox, facial, nail care — BUT it’s worth every penny.
Brooke is a facial magician. She did mention facials are a bit of a «love/​hate» process being that it’s mostly relaxing but semi painful at times (popping anything on your face is not the business). However she wants to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible so there is constant communication. Each room is set up like a massage spa — dimly lit room, candles and light music. She gave me the «works» facial which lasted over an hour — my skin has never felt so clean… so smooth! I’m so happy with the results and I highly suggest her for all your facial/​waxing needs!
FYI — they have their own private parking in the back, yay!

I received the Visage Contour facial massage from Vera and it was shockingly effective. I really didn’t know what to expect and walked in with an open mind, thinking at the very least I’d get some relaxation time. Little did I know I’d walk out with a tauter, smoother and uplifted face! My face hasn’t experienced any premature aging yet so I was surprised it was possible for it to look even more youthful. It’s been a day and I’m still seriously glowing. This was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.
Psst! Charo the spa manager who works the front desk is also awesome.

being a hair stylist, i have had a lot of facials. Brook is top notch and so professional! Clean and pleasant staff also. My skin has a nice glow after just returning from a facial there. My skin loves this place!

Wow, what a little gem in the valley! I really love the energy in here. So calm and tranquil and it smells amazing!
I made a facial appointment just for overall brightening and regular cleansing. Brooke was my esthetician and I highly recommend her. She reviewed my skin and we agreed I’d go with the diamond file facial. She explained that it tightens and tones and stimulates collagen and what girl doesn’t want that? I felt like it smoothed my skin better than a micorderm facial I’ve received at other places.
Other than a little redness that day, there was no downtime and my face is plump and bright and glowing.
Charro was great at the front desk. We chatted for a while because I like to nerd out about skincare, but she wasn’t too pushy. This is great because I used to go to a place on Melrose and they were so snobby and stuffy and it just wasn’t a fun experience. It’s worth it for me to go to the valley (I was reluctant but my friend had had a great experience so I wanted to try) and I will go back for sure.
This place has a special vibe. Bravo.
Parking in the back is easy.

Look, I am not a cheap person ok? Okay! But I am not a multimillionaire either and this place is pretty overpriced in my opinion. A standard massage, for example, starts at $ 115 (plus tip of course) — quality is just above average, but it is not orgasmic or anything — I suspect a hooker costs less — no?!
I believe the reason for the high prices is threefold:
1– It is located in Studio City, sweetie darlings– with endless celebrity clients apparently — though in the years that I have been going I haven’t seen a single one, but who am I to burst their bubble.
2– It has cool furniture, and the rooms, equipment and supplies seem top notch. One thing I always appreciate here is that I don’t have to worry about cleanliness.
3– Sometimes they have water with pretty slices of fruit in it, though if truth be told I prefer my H2O sans interference– otherwise it just tastes like someone poured water into a glass that was previously used for fruit juice and wasn’t washed properly and now you have this weird, slightly scary looking liquid that is neither pure water nor full juice. But that is a personal problem– can’t blame this place for my issues.
I have had mostly massages and facials here and both have been good — there was one forgettable pedicure session as well, but the pedicurist seemed so thoroughly uninterested and the price so unreasonable that I haven’t tried it again.
And contrary to another reviewer, I did not have a positive experience with Vera. I found her to be too aggressive — to such an extent that I was actually in pain for the first (and only) time during a facial! To make things worse, not only was she unapologetic and did not even pretend to alter her technique so as to cause less pain, she was pretty much blaming me for my discomfort! I make sure to ask for someone else now.
But for the most part the staff is pleasant– the ones at the front desk are a little hit and miss — sometimes I could be standing there for a while before they actually acknowledge my existence — perhaps it is my cloak of invisibility — perhaps they are just too scatterbrained to manage decent customer service, but the masseuses and aestheticians are friendly and professional.
Finally– and this is by no means unique to this one place — most day spas are guilty of it– but why is it that at the end of the session, instead of just stating the obvious — something like «that concludes your session– thank you» they lower their voice to match the volume of the BS zen music they got going in the background, and whisper ever so gently: «well… I hope… you… enjoyed… your… massage… I’ll be… waiting… outside… with… some… (deep breath) water…»
Right? I am not saying let’s have a high school marching band rip through the room to announce the end of the session, but what is with the wannabe seductress technique — it totally freaks me out! I just want to reply: O… kkayyy… but– whyyyy– are– weeee– whispering?!
Finally, for real this time: if you are on a budget but want to try this place out my recommendation would be to 1: ask if they have any specials and/​or 2– my preferred method: ask someone (who likes you a lot) to get you a gift card and see how you like it.
Okay, rant over.

I am reviewing two specific people who provide top notch services at Belle Visage.
First is nail tech Rea Sharp who is a true professional. Rea is a perfectionist and keeps up with all the latest techniques and takes pride in taking care of her clients. Rea will make sure your hands and feet look their best. Rea has been doing my nails for about 30 years! I love going to Rea because I know she uses only the best products and clean instruments. And, if I forget my pedicure shoes she always has a pair for me to take home.
Give yourself a real treat and go to see Vera Duva and get the Visage Contour facial. Vera knows how to make you look younger without the pain of injections or procedures that leave your skin bruised or raw and red. It is a face lift without surgery, fillers or machinery. Vera’s technique is massage based and will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from head to toe plus you look younger! It is truly miraculous. And I love the various products Vera uses and applies to my skin. They smell terrific and feel delicious on my skin. Vera is the ONLY person who knows how to do this facial so be sure you make an appointment with her if you want to get the benefits of this treatment.
Stick with Rea and Vera and you will feel and LOOK like a million bucks!

As a veteran of getting «maintenance» done (AKA primping), I was excited to try all the new laser procedures when they started becoming widely available. Unfortunately, due to having light skin and hair that mostly matched, I was told by several dermatologists and plastic surgery centers that I was not a good candidate for laser hair removal.
My best friend mentioned she DID have her hair successfully removed using laser treatments (at a spa that happens to be a block from my house, Belle Visage) and she was very happy with her results.
Oh yeah… then I remembered that I had visited Belle Visage years prior (before the existence of Unilocal) for some other type of maintenance. That’s when I called them to see if they offered a Plan B… what I mistakenly thought was an old-​school technique… electrolysis. I wasn’t sure if that was still done but I was assured that electrolysis was alive and well.
I made up my mind that I was going to commit to the extended time it would require to complete the process and went in for my first treatment. The spa was as beautiful and clean as I remembered it. I instantly clicked with Charo, the receptionist who, rather than treating me as though she were doing me a favor by speaking to me (something I’ve encountered with some other upscale spas on the Westside), Charo made me feel like she was there to help. Honestly, help. What a charming, attentive, classy, and genuine person she is. You know when someone says «she’s beautiful inside AND out?,» that’s Charo.
My Electrologist, Shannon, is awesome. «Electrolysis is a somewhat mildly irritating procedure; nothing more. It’s not really painful, just annoying.» Spot on Shannon. She made me aware of exactly what to expect, answered all my questions, and as our appointments have continued, impressed me with her medical knowledge and obvious experience with skin care in general. She exhibits the utmost in professionalism and by the way… does not chatter endlessly on about her private life and problems the way so many aestheticians and other service providers I’ve used have done. Being a service provider myself, I know how important this can be. Our conversations are an exchange, not a monologue.
Shannon knows her stuff and always makes sure I feel comfortable, helps me have realistic expectations, and treats me with an abundance of TLC. She is truly a pro. My legs are looking great, I am super satisfied with the results I am getting, and really enjoy talking with Shannon while she does her work. She’s a very down-​to-​earth person, a good listener, something that is in rare supply these days.
I would recommend Belle Visage to anyone for whatever «maintenance» they might need but there is one thing that really puts them over the top… THEY HAVE FREE PARKING IN THE BACK –and no valet! Woohoo! I am grateful for this every time I pull into the little lot behind their building :)

I very rarely Unilocal.I typically have to have an awful experience or an amazing one. Belle Visage has definitely been the latter!
I initially received a gift card for my birthday and promptly scheduled a facial. Charo, the receptionist, was extremely helpful and polite when I called and she scheduled me an appointment that was convenient for my schedule.
Upon arrival, everything was extremely clean, smelled great and I was greeted warmly with water, coffee, and/​or tea. My first facial was with Brooke– who is extremely professional, easy to talk to and very educated. Its clear she has perfected her craft and I have since been back to see her 3 times. All exceptional experiences and I left feeling like I had a brand new face.
I intend on going back every 4 – 5 weeks for my normal facial upkeep. In addition, I am also sending my boyfriend to her as they offer a great facial for the special man (men) in your life.
Being a person who appreciates cleanliness, outstanding customer service and top notch services, I would recommend Belle Visage and Brooke to anyone with similar standards.
