"I've been coming here for laser removal on my lower back and butt over 8 sessions and I could not have been happier with the final results. I am now completely smooth in both areas and no longer need to shave to achieve the smooth look I love.Not only is the final result perfect, but the staff are so polite, helpful, and well trained. Never had any pain issues or anything of the sort. HIGHLY recommend for hair removal services!! Finally, this place was recommended to me by a friend and I hope this helps incite other people to come to Cienega Med Spa, as well!"

"I am beyond happy and thankful for the services Cienega Med Spa in West Hollywood have provided me. I’ve been doing laser hair removal for about 7 treatments now and I couldn’t be happier. My hair use to be so thick and dark and would grow back fast. When I use to shave I would get razor bumps and irritation. Now that I’ve used laser, my hair grows back so slowly, so thin and light. I have been able to cut back on shaving very minimally and I don’t even get irritation anymore! The laser appointments only take 45min-1hr once a month which is so worth it! Not to mention, I was very pleasantly surprised that the laser treatment itself was NOT painful at all (just a warm tingle)."

"I went in for a consultation for laser hair removal at the West Hollywood location. I have had it done at other places in the past a number of years ago, but always found it to be extremely painful, so I never even thought of doing it on my chest as it would've hurt too much. After searching online for a pain free laser hair removal place in LA, I came across the Cienega Med Spa. I went in for a consultation and was skeptical. The nurse offered to do a patch test, and to my surprise it was incredibly bearable. I did my full chest and abs there and then and bought a package deal. I am very satisfied with the level of customer service, the cleanliness and the design of the place. Everyone was very friendly and informative. And of course, the laser hair removing was amazing. My only critique would be it would be nicer if they weren't piping club music throughout the spa, I'd imagine something lower tempo would be more appropriate, but that's just me, and thats a small, SMALL price to pay for the overall great experience I had there."
If you have ever suffered with an ingrown hair, you understand what a relief it is to find a solution. Just one cortisone shot can easily bring down the inflammation that has kept the hair trapped below the skin.
First, one of highly trained registered nurses will evaluate the area to be treated and make sure that what we are dealing with is actually an ingrown hair. Then we will inject cortisone into the base of the cyst that has formed. The cortisone will bring down the swelling within 48 hours and the hair should fall out on its own with the aid of mild exfoliation.

The treatment is quick and nearly painless, just a small prick of the needle and you are on your way.
There is very little discomfort. The most uncomfortable part is usually the pressure within the cyst itself.
This is a very safe medical procedure, which is always performed by an experienced registered nurse.
There is no downtime at all. You are free to return to work, go to the gym or engage in any other activities, directly post treatment.
You are absolutely able to receive this treatment prior to any travel or special engagements. Keep in mind your ingrown hair will NOT immediately be resolved post treatment however.
I you have an allergy to cortisone, this would not be recommended.
Generally, there are no side effects to this treatments. Occasionally, the area that has been injected may look a little indented after the swelling is relieved. This usually returns to normal after a few weeks. In rare instances, the indentation, while slight, may be permanent. If you turn out to be allergic, the area treated may develop a rash or hives, and we would recommend seeing your physician.
For the vast majority of clients, one treatment is all they need.
Another treatment is needed only if another ingrown hair appears.
