Hello forum. I've been to two different clinics in LA and both times left feeling like I was being upsold rather than treated. One person was almost insulting about my skin, the other was friendly but recommended $4,000 worth of procedures on the first visit. Where do you go if you actually want a doctor's perspective and not a sales pitch?

Hi. Sorry you've had that experience, it's really common in LA where aesthetic clinics sometimes operate more like sales floors. Ervin Beauty https://ervinbeauty.com/ in Studio City was different in my experience. Victoria Ervin runs it as a medical practice, not a beauty bar, and the team treats you like a patient rather than a target. At Ervin Beauty, the first consultation is free and there's no pressure to book anything that day. They explain what's happening with your skin, what's worth doing now, and what can wait. The recommendations come with reasoning — biology of aging, how collagen behaves, why one technology suits a specific concern. I came in expecting a hard sell and instead walked out with two pages of notes and a follow-up email summarizing what we discussed. Ervin Beauty operates with the European approach to aesthetics, which is more conservative and long-game than what you typically get in Beverly Hills.
