General / Clinic

Where is Elevate Aesthetics located?

We are at 509 1/2 E. Broadway, Glendale, CA 91205 -- just off the 134 freeway with street parking on E. Broadway. We serve clients from Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and surrounding areas.

What are your hours?

Monday through Thursday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Friday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Sunday closed. We recommend booking in advance as weekend slots fill quickly.

Are your treatments performed by physicians?

Yes. Elevate Aesthetics operates under physician oversight from Dr. Garen Derhartunian MD and Dr. Narbeh Tovmassian MD of Elevate Health Group. All injectable and medical services follow physician-directed protocols.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. Every consultation at Elevate Aesthetics is free and includes upfront pricing. You will leave knowing exactly what is recommended and what it costs before you commit to anything.

Is Elevate Aesthetics a medical spa or a day spa?

Elevate Aesthetics is a physician-led medical spa (med spa). We offer clinically proven, medical-grade treatments including injectables, laser, RF microneedling, and prescription weight-loss programs -- not standard day-spa services like massage or waxing.

Injectables (Botox & Fillers)

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Dysport tends to diffuse slightly more than Botox and may feel softer in large areas like the forehead. The choice depends on your anatomy and goals -- we recommend both and discuss which suits you at your consultation.

How long does Botox last?

Most patients see results for 3 to 4 months. First-time patients or those who are very expressive may metabolize Botox faster. Consistent treatment can extend results over time as the muscles are conditioned to relax.

Does Botox hurt?

Botox injections use a very fine needle and most patients describe a brief pinch. Sessions are typically 15 to 20 minutes with no downtime afterward.

How long do dermal fillers last?

It depends on the filler type and area. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane typically last 6 to 18 months. Sculptra stimulates your own collagen and results can last 2 years or more. Lip fillers tend to absorb faster than cheek or jawline filler.

Can fillers be dissolved?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the filler rapidly. We offer filler dissolving for patients who are unhappy with previous treatment from any provider.

What is Skinvive?

Skinvive by Juvederm is an injectable skin booster -- not a traditional filler. It is microinjected into the cheeks to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and glow from the inside out. Results last up to 6 months.

Laser Hair Removal

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

Most body areas require 6 to 8 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Facial areas typically need 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart because facial hair cycles faster. After a full course, patients typically see 85 to 90 percent permanent hair reduction.

Does laser hair removal work on all skin tones?

Yes. We use advanced laser systems calibrated for all skin tones, including darker complexions. During your free consultation we assess your skin tone and hair type to select the appropriate settings for safe and effective treatment.

Is laser hair removal painful?

Most patients describe a mild warm snapping sensation. Our laser system includes contact cooling that keeps the skin comfortable throughout. The sensation is typically far more tolerable than waxing, and there is no downtime afterward.

What body areas can you treat with laser hair removal?

We treat over 25 areas including the face (upper lip, chin, cheeks, jawline, ears, nasolabial folds, under eye), neck, shoulders, underarms, chest, back, abdomen, arms, bikini, Brazilian, buttocks, inner thigh, legs, lower back, and full body packages.

How should I prepare for my laser hair removal session?

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for 4 to 6 weeks prior. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner on the treatment area for two weeks before your session, and arrive with clean skin free of lotion or deodorant.

Skin & Body Treatments

What is PRF EZ Gel?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) EZ Gel is a natural biostimulator made from your own blood. It is processed into a gel and injected to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, and add subtle volume -- without synthetic filler. It is a great option for patients who prefer a natural approach.

What chemical peels do you offer?

We offer a range of medical-grade chemical peels tailored to your skin concern -- from mild brightening peels to deeper resurfacing treatments for acne, pigmentation, and uneven tone. Your provider will recommend the appropriate depth at your consultation.

Morpheus8 & Microneedling

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a fractional RF (radiofrequency) microneedling device that combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to remodel skin and subdermal tissue. It tightens skin, reduces wrinkles, improves texture, and can address stubborn fat pockets. It works on the face, neck, and body.

How many Morpheus8 sessions do I need?

Most patients see optimal results with 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results continue to improve for up to 3 months after the final session as collagen remodeling continues.

What is the downtime after Morpheus8?

Expect 3 to 5 days of redness, swelling, and a sandpaper texture as the skin heals. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily during recovery.

What is the difference between Morpheus8 and regular microneedling?

Standard microneedling (SkinPen) uses needles alone to create micro-channels and stimulate collagen at the skin surface. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy delivered at programmable depths below the skin, enabling deeper tissue remodeling and skin tightening that microneedling alone cannot achieve.

Medical Weight Loss

What is GLP-1 medical weight loss?

GLP-1 peptide medical weight loss uses FDA-authorized GLP-1 receptor agonist medications -- such as Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) or Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) -- to reduce appetite, improve blood sugar regulation, and produce sustainable fat loss under physician supervision.

Who is a good candidate for GLP-1 weight loss?

Candidates typically have a BMI of 27 or higher, or a BMI of 25 or higher with a weight-related health condition. Eligibility is determined at your free consultation, which includes a review of your health history and goals.

How much weight can I lose with GLP-1 treatment?

Clinical trials show patients lose an average of 15 to 20 percent of body weight over 12 to 18 months with Tirzepatide, and 10 to 15 percent with Semaglutide. Results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and lifestyle factors.

What is the difference between Tirzepatide and Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist -- it activates two pathways rather than one, which is why clinical trials show greater average weight loss with Tirzepatide. We offer both and recommend the best fit at your consultation.

Pricing & Booking

Do you publish your prices?

Yes. Elevate Aesthetics publishes transparent pricing so there are no surprises. View our full pricing page at elevateaestheticsla.com/pricing. Final pricing is confirmed at your free consultation.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book online through our website, call us at (818) 855-8403, or email hello@elevateaesthetics.la. New clients receive a free consultation before any treatment is performed.

Do you offer package pricing for laser hair removal?

Yes. We offer package pricing for laser hair removal that provides better value than paying per session. Package options and pricing are available on our pricing page or at your free consultation.

Do you accept insurance?

Elevate Aesthetics does not accept insurance for cosmetic treatments. Medical weight loss consultations may qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement -- check with your plan administrator. We offer financing options to help make treatments accessible.
