LaVie Privee Medispa

I have observed all my girl friends getting laser hair removal at various spots around LA & South Bay over the last couple years. I came across La Vie Privee through online searches, and it was a conversation with Sophia that sealed my choice. Always so kind, personable, and caring, she & my nurse have always put me at ease. The packages are very reasonable, the scheduling is flexible. Before my first treatment I was beyond nervous, to a ridiculous extent (need not to be, everything was smooth sailing), and they could not have been more kind & patient. I'm now onto my 6th treatment and have added on additional areas. WORTH EVERY PENNY and a really wonderful team & services.

I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs a medi-spa. I've been lasered and peeled and plucked and pulled and the results are always positive. Sophia is great and any time I have a beauty question I call her--I mean ANYTHING beauty related and she's there with a helpful answer. I'm glad I found Prive because I spent so much $ on other places that just really didn't offer long term results--everything just works there. They are also honest--won't try to sell me products or services I don't need. Also, I'm a huge wimp and Carrie, my nurse, is always really patient with me and understands my fear of some of the more ""techy"" beauty devices--like the lasers and other zapping devices. Parking is really convenient too. A+ and I'm hard to please.

LaVie Privee Medispa is a great place. I have been there twice for laser hair removal and will be going back one more time for my 3rd treatment of the area before i start my next treatment with Privee. I liked the results so much i bought my sister a gift card for 3 treatments. She cant wait to go use one. At Privee they are professional, kind, and effective. I know they offer many other services such as spa treatments and such and Im sure they are just as good. I have seen everything from young women to older men in their office and I see them give everyone who enters the office proper care. From the cucumber and lemon flavored water in the waiting room to the inexpensive prices, Sophia and her team rock. Im goin this Friday morning. See ya there.

I called to make an appointment for lazar hair removal on my under arms. I received timely and extremely informational feedback both on the phone and my first visit to the spa. The office is very nicely decorated with a calming and comforting touch. The staff makes you feel very at home and open to whatever questions you may have. I am now going back for more services as I was very impressed with the service and the results.

I highly recommend this spa for any services you may be trying. Especially if you are unsure of the procedures or have questions. They do a great job answering any concerns you may have.

First off, the staff is amazing; Sophia is one of the sweetest people I've met. The atmosphere is so serene and you immediately feel at home. I was looking for a place that would provide both comfort and actual acne results and it's done just that. I've only had two treatments there and I've already seen amazing results with my face. I highly recommend LaVie Privee. I don't think I'll ever stop going!

Wow - where do I start? I'm new to the LA area, so finding a high end, high quality spa without the celebrity price tag was going to be a challenge. I found LaVie Privee through the citysearch reviews for laser hair removal and called to talk with the staff about their services. I spoke directly with the owner, Sophia (who's fantastic), and without any selling pressure, she explained the lasers they use, their pricing, their promotional packages, and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable and booked my first appointment with her immediately.

I've been back for a second visit and am now adding more of their spa services to my beauty regimen. LaVie Privee is a gem in the city and I'm going to be a loyal customer for as long as I'm in LA! Sophia, Carrie, and Nicole - thanks for an amazing experience so far!!!

Pros: Serene, beautiful atmosphere; experienced staff; pricing

this was the first time i got a facial and laVie privee medispa made it a great experience. The environment was relaxing and the facial was phenomenal. My skin's looking bright and clear and i cannot wait to go back!! Thank you Privee!

Pros: great staff amazing service

I called in to get an IPL laser treatment and they offered this procedure call XPL supposedly better and more advanced than the IPL. Not only I did not see any results after $250 but it's been two months and I'm still missing a big chunk of my eyebrow.\r
\r
When I called in to ask what to do, the receptionist, which is also the manager and whatever else told me that ""sometimes"" it happens and not to worry my eyebrow will grow back? Really? I don't want to spend $250 on a procedure that was done by an unproffesional nurse and have my eyebrow burned!!!. They don't even have a Dr. on site which is probably a bad sign to begin with. I also said that I'm not seeing any results after my procedure and she said I need to get a few more to notice changes... I noticed changes on an IPL procedure right away but this XPL thing is just a waste of money. \r
Now, after two months I feel I was ripped off, and I had to buy a treatment that cost me another $50 to see if my eyebrows grow back.\r
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, go to the REAL professionals if you are looking to get things done correctly.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Unprofessional service

This was my first time getting a chemical peel and dermabrasion and to say the least I was unsure about the whole process, if it would be worth it or even if I wanted to go through with it. But despite my sketchy inclination I found myself loving it! it was awesome, for a moment i kinda dozed off and forgot where i was. The staff were really cool and helpful. I highly recommend it and will be back soon.

Pros: friendly service, relaxed environment and very soothing

On my first visit I was stuck in traffic but they waited until 7:30 PM (30 minutes past their closing time). The people at Prive Medispa were all courteous and caring in regards to the areas of treatment I was interested in. They were very informative and nice overall. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for great service for an affordable price.

Pros: best deals for services in town

Not only are the staff and owners wonderful, their treatments and services are amazing. I have been for laser hair removal(the best) and massage.

I would Highly recommend LaVie Prive to spa seekers.
5 stars!

Pros: 100 % satisfaction

I have been to many of the best spas in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and know what I like. I had the hydrafacial with Elena, who was wonderful! The facial itself left my skin so radiant that I didn't wear makeup all weekend (which is a big thing for me!). Elena was wonderful - she really knows what she is doing, recommended some great things for my skin and I plan to see her again and only her. She is the best facialist I have ever had. I also had my first botox ever done with Mary - wow - great results, no discomfort, and I look incredible! Love love love it!

I can't wait to go back and plan to quite a few times before my wedding this summer! Thank you again!!!

Pros: talented, nice, free valet parking, great products

if I could give this place 100 stars I would.

I did my research on laser hair removal and the different machines used for it. The Cynosure Elite that Prive Medispa uses is by far the best out there. I have already completed 3 sessions of laser hair removal and I see a HUGE difference. I numbed for 45 minutes and the pain was minimal. Mary was the one who did me and I really like her. The staff at Prive is very nice and they make you feel really comfortable. The prices are great too. If you buy 2 laser hair removal sessions you get 1 free. They also have a lot of special offers, which is awesome. I really really love this place. If youre thinking of doing laser hair removal you should definitely book a consultation asap. Its free and you have nothing to lose.

Pros: Prices, customer service, equipment

I went there for laser hair removal and it was an amazing experience. I've tried many places for and I highly recommend Prive MediSpa because they have top of the line equipment and actually have trained professionals that have been doing laser and spa forms for years! They are great. You should definitely try them out to see what the buzz is all about. I recommended this place to all my spa girlies :) :)

Pros: GREAT Customer Service

Cons: Laser Hurts

Every time I come in here, I feel relaxed. The staff is wonderful and really seems to want to help you. I have only had one facial and a peel but I have been using their line of products for quite some time now. They are not pretentious and do not try to force you to purchase hundreds of products. A really great place!

Pros: best service in town

I love this place. My sister and I both go here for laser hair removal and it is very affordable. I did my underarms twice so far and I already see a big difference. Their customer service is great and they use top of the line equipment. I highly recommend Prive Medispa. They have a lot of great deals so if I were you I would book a consultation asap.

Pros: best equipment out there, great customer service

Cons: none.

They waited until I got off work and had to fight traffic. They're really committed in making you happy and RELAXED. What a great way to decompress. I HIGHLY recommend this spa!

Pros: Customer Service

I loved my Day at Prive! Everyone was so polite & made me feel welcome. All of my services were to the highest standards. Elena does amazing facials & waxing. Thank you to everyone at Prive-I'll definitely be coming back.

Pros: Relaxing, welcoming, great service & free valet parking!

I wrote a review a while ago but I thought I should do an update because I have tried more of their services. Ive been coming to Prive for almost a couple years now and they are awesome. Everyone who works here is so sweet and they make you feel very comfortable. I started coming here because of their laser hair removal. Ive done my research and LaVie Privee has the best equipment and best prices in town. As for the pain goes, I have lasered almost every inch of my body and if you are extremely sensitive like me they offer numbing cream which helped and I also take an Advil 20 minutes before. Ive gotten a few facials with peels, a back facial and a Hyrdrafacial. The facials were very good but the Hydrafacial (which is a bit more pricier) was AMAZING! Ive also bought a few of the Image Skin Care products and my skin has improved a lot and Ive never been happier.

I am a student on a budget and every penny counts for me. The prices at Prive are really great and they always have good deals. I have finally found a medi spa that I can call my home-away-from-home and I will always come back for more. I hope this review helped! Xoxo

Pros: top of the line equipment, friendly staff

I love this place. Plain and simple. I have had acne since I was in high school and I have tried everything to get rid of it; dermatologist, over-counter, other spas and nothing worked. Since I work and study at UCLA I did a spa search a few months ago and found Prive. Sophia booked my first appointment and since then I was hooked! I see Lana and saw results after my first visit. Needless to say, I kept coming back and I haven't had a pimple IN MONTHS.
The staff is extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. Parking is good too. I would recommend this spa to anyone since I recently also went in for waxing and that was a great experience as well.

Pros: Friendly staff, reasonable prices, Great Results

I have been to Prive twice for facials and cant wait to go back. I am 8 months pregnant with very high standards so I think if they pass my test, they are worthy of my review. The facials rival most high end Beverly Hills and Las Vegas spas. Their Aestheticians are very knowledgeable, their products actually work, and the whole experience has been very pleasant. I also bought some of their products such as the Stone crop gel wash, hydrating mist and their sugar plum revitalizer. I have been using these products for about a week now and have noticed a huge improvement with my face. My husband who generally thinks spa products are just there for up sell is now using these products after seeing the results that I had with them. Overall, I had a great experience with Prive and I highly recommend it.

Pros: wonderful staff and great products

I have tried two other places before for laser hair removal but didn't have a great experience. One place I went to for 4 treatments but didn't notice that dramatic of a result and another burned my neck so bad that I got blisters so I discontinued my treatments. The great thing about this place is that they have in my opinion the latest and greatest laser equipments. The beauty of this machine is that it actually releases cool air to the areas that are being lasered which makes the experience much tolerable, even for someone who has zero pain tolerance like me. I have been there twice and have noticed a tremendous result. I would say that more than 80% of the hair on my neck are totally gone. The laser technician, I think her name is Mary, takes her time and does a thorough job. There is deffenately something about this Mary and she knows what she is doing :). I highly recommand this place if you are looking for an effective laser hair removal facility. \r

Pros: Top of the line equipments, caring and knowledgeable staff,

Cons: nothing really

I recently took my mother here for her birthday, and we were not disappointed. If you have never been there before, I suggest you make an appointment soon. All of our treatments were fabulous. The staff was as accommodating as could be. And most importantly, it was impeccably clean. We walked out of there feeling like we were in heaven. We undoubtedly will be spending another mother/daughter day there in the near future.

Just got my monthly facial and decided to try a new place in Westwood and after it was over, I just wanted to stay in that facial chair and never get up. It is so relaxing!! I felt like I had new skin! Prive Medispa is so professional and the quality of each facial is UNBELIEVABLE!! This is truly, truly a great luxury at an excellent price!

Pros: Example: best croissants in town

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I have recommended Previ' Medi-Spa to all my friends and family since my visit. With state of the art equipment and professionals you can trust, their is no place else better for rejuvenating skin care in a relaxing and pampering environment.

Pros: Full service medi-spa with great central location

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I have been to many Medi-spa's, but after going to Prive I dont think I will ever go anywhere else. Their staff pays a great deal of attention to detail and they are very professional. The nurses are extremely nice and they make you feel very confortable. Also, they have great equipment and their treatments have worked well for me. I recommend this spa

I was introduce to Prive' by a friend and I must say this is one of the best spas around LA . They did such a great job making new clients feel comfotable with the work being done on them. very professional staff, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend booking an appt. and getting a consultation

Pros: Full Medispa

Cons: None , this was a great experience
