Getting Here from Marina del Rey

The Marina is about 9.5 miles southwest of us. Traffic patterns matter more than distance on this route.

Driving routes

I-405 North to I-10 East, exit Robertson or La Cienega — usually quickest outside rush hour.
Venice Boulevard east then north — reliable when the 405 is congested.
Lincoln north to I-10 East — a good compromise from the north side of the Marina.
Culver Boulevard to National — a quieter surface alternative.

Twenty-five to forty minutes depending on timing. Mid-morning appointments avoid the worst of the 405.

What Marina del Rey Patients Book

Aesthetics with a wellness component

Marina patients frequently come to us for something broader than injectables. IV therapy for hydration, energy and recovery is popular with an active, boating and fitness-oriented population, as is medically supervised weight loss.

Sun and water exposure

Time on the water compounds UV exposure — reflection off the surface roughly doubles what your skin absorbs. That accelerates pigmentation and collagen breakdown, and it is why so many patients from the Marina need skin-quality treatment rather than volume.

Body treatments

Cryo body sculpting and body contouring are requested more from coastal communities than inland ones, for fairly obvious reasons. These treat localized fat pockets in patients already close to their goal weight — they are contouring tools, not weight loss.

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.

About 9.5 miles. The I-405 North to I-10 East, exiting at Robertson or La Cienega, is usually fastest outside rush hour. Venice Boulevard east is a reliable surface alternative when the 405 is heavy. Plan twenty-five to forty minutes.

Mid-morning. We open at 10am on weekdays, which puts your drive after the northbound morning rush and your return before the afternoon build-up. Friday appointments begin at 9am.

Yes, and it is one of the more popular services among our Marina patients. IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion. Patients use it for hydration, energy, immune support and recovery. Formulations are selected based on what you are actually trying to address.

Yes, meaningfully. Water reflects UV radiation, so time on a boat or near the marina roughly doubles your effective sun exposure compared with the same time inland. The practical result is faster pigmentation, collagen loss and texture change — which is why coastal patients so often need skin-quality treatments rather than injectables.

No, and we are careful about this distinction. Body sculpting treats localized pockets of fat in patients who are already near their goal weight — it is a contouring tool. If weight loss is the goal, our medically supervised weight loss program is the appropriate route, and we will steer you there instead.

Yes, initial consultations are complimentary with no obligation to treat that day. Many Marina patients use the first visit to plan and then schedule treatment for a more convenient time.
