How do I get to your office from Inglewood?

La Cienega Boulevard north runs almost directly from Inglewood to Wilshire, where our office is — about 8 miles and twenty to thirty minutes. The I-405 North to I-10 East is faster outside peak hours. Check for SoFi Stadium or Kia Forum events, which affect traffic considerably.

Are these treatments safe for Black skin and other deeper skin tones?

Many are, but the choice of treatment genuinely matters. Aggressive lasers and deep chemical peels carry real risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin. RF microneedling is much safer because the energy goes below the surface rather than targeting pigment, and PRP uses no heat or light at all. Injectables carry no pigment-specific risk. Dr. Moghadam will tell you directly if a treatment is not appropriate for your skin.

What is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?

It is darkening of the skin that occurs after inflammation or injury — including from an overly aggressive cosmetic treatment. It appears as dark patches that can take months to fade. It is far more common in deeper skin tones, which is why treatment selection and conservative settings matter so much.

I have a history of keloid scarring. Can I still be treated?

It depends on the treatment. Keloid history is a genuine contraindication for microneedling and other treatments that create controlled skin injury. Injectables are generally fine. Tell us at consultation and we will build a plan around it rather than risk a poor outcome.

Do you offer weight loss programs?

Yes — medically supervised weight loss, beginning with clinical assessment and laboratory work rather than a product. A physician evaluates what is actually driving the difficulty, which is a different approach from commercial weight loss programs.

Are consultations free?

Yes, initial consultations are complimentary and there is no obligation to treat the same day.

Getting Here from Inglewood

Inglewood is about 8 miles south of us, and La Cienega Boulevard connects the two almost directly.

Driving routes

La Cienega Boulevard north straight to Wilshire — the simplest route, one road most of the way.
I-405 North to I-10 East, exiting Robertson or La Cienega — faster outside peak hours.
Crenshaw north to Rodeo or Jefferson, then west — an alternative when La Cienega is heavy.
From near SoFi Stadium: Prairie or La Brea north to La Cienega.

Twenty to thirty minutes typically. Note that events at SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum affect traffic significantly — worth checking before you set out.

Treatment Chosen for Your Skin Type

This is the most clinically important thing we can say to patients from Inglewood, and it is worth stating plainly.

Many aesthetic treatments carry meaningfully different risks depending on skin tone. Devices and settings that are routine for Fitzpatrick I–III skin can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — dark patches that can persist for months — in Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin. Aggressive laser resurfacing and chemical peels are the usual culprits.

This is not a reason to avoid treatment. It is a reason to be treated by someone who selects the right one:

RF microneedling is among the safer energy-based options for deeper skin tones, because the radiofrequency energy is delivered below the surface and does not target melanin the way lasers do.
PRP facials use your own platelets with no heat or light, carrying essentially no pigmentation risk.
Injectables — Botox and fillers — carry no pigment-specific risk, though injection technique still matters for bruising and keloid-prone patients.

Keloid scarring history is also relevant and something we ask about directly. If a treatment is not appropriate for your skin, you will be told that rather than sold it anyway.

Why It Matters That a Physician Treats You

Los Angeles has more med spas per square mile than almost anywhere in the country, and the quality range is enormous. At many of them your injector is a technician working from a template, with a supervising physician who is not in the building.

At Modern Aesthetica, Dr. Daniel Moghadam is the founder and medical director, and he performs the treatments himself. That matters most in two situations: when something needs to be judged rather than measured — how much product a particular face can carry, whether a device setting is safe for your skin tone — and in the rare event that something goes wrong and needs to be managed immediately.

It also means you get an honest answer when the treatment you asked for is not the treatment you need. Patients regularly arrive asking for filler and leave with a plan that starts somewhere else.
