A boutique medical spa in the heart of Los Angeles, dedicated to helping you look
and feel your
absolute best through personalized aesthetic treatments and expert skincare solutions.
Our Story
MedBeautyLA was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: no two clients are the same, so no two
treatment plans should be the same either. In a world of one-size-fits-all solutions, we recognized
the need for a more personalized approach to aesthetic medicine.
Led by Dr. Lori Aliksanian, a board-certified physician with extensive experience in wound care and
skin regeneration, our practice combines medical expertise with artistic vision. Dr. Lori's unique
background in wound healing gives her an unparalleled understanding of skin integrity and the body's
natural regenerative processes—knowledge she applies to every aesthetic treatment.
What started as a passion for helping patients restore their confidence has grown into a full-service
boutique med spa, where cutting-edge technology meets compassionate care. Our team of skilled
aesthetic professionals shares a common goal: to enhance your natural beauty while preserving what
makes you uniquely you.
Today, MedBeautyLA stands as a trusted destination for those seeking expert aesthetic care in a warm,
welcoming environment. We're not just about treatments—we're about transformations, confidence, and
helping you become the best version of yourself.

Lori Aliksanian, M.D., C.W.S.P., Medical Director & Founder
Dr. Lori Aliksanian, M.D., Medical Director & Founder
During her years in practice as a wound care specialist, Dr. Aliksanian (or Dr. Lori, as most of her clients know her) became fascinated by skin integrity and the body's own regenerative potential. She began seeing patients with cosmetic aging concerns who wanted her help in restoring their appearance. She has since used her knowledge and expertise in skin healing to further maximize her aesthetic treatments.
Dr. Aliksanian believes in providing non-invasive anti-aging treatments that repair skin and restore it to a younger-looking state without surgery. Her expertise in creating non-surgical facelifts with injectable therapies such as Botox®, Daxxify®, Juvéderm®, Voluma®, Vollure®, Radiesse®, Belotero®, Sculptra®, and Restylane® made her an in-demand injector, providing customized rejuvenation for her patients. Her special focus is on preserving each patient's natural expressions while enhancing their unique beauty using the most advanced techniques available.
Dr. Aliksanian holds a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Irvine and earned her MD at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica, W.I. She completed an internship in general surgery at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, then returned to Los Angeles for a residency in general surgery at Harbor-UCLA and a fellowship in wound reconstructive surgery at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center.
Joanna Garcia, LE, Director of Aesthetics & CoolSculpting Specialist
Self-proclaimed beauty lover, Joanna is a clinical esthetician who is addicted to seeing patient results. She is passionate about customizing a routine and plan for each and every person she touches. She is particularly interested in treatments that focus on anti-aging, collagen rejuvenation, and scar reduction.
Joanna joined the skincare industry after witnessing many of her friends and family deal with different skin issues. The majority of them were using some kind of homemade remedy or concealing makeup to "correct" their concerns. She obtained her esthetics license so that she could help her friends, family and other people in need such services. Joanna has also attended CoolSculpting University and loves working with clients to achieve beautiful results.
