I first met Dr. Rivkin somewhere around 2002 when I was attending a "medical spa conference" and Westside Aesthetics was on the tour. At the time, Westside Aesthetics was located above a salon but now Westside Medical Spa is tucked away on Gayley Avenue near UCLA. 

Dr. Rivkin is renowned for non-surgical alternatives to commonly performed cosmetic procedures. He was the first physician in the country to offer the Non-Surgical Nose Job, his signature method for non-invasive correction of cosmetic nasal irregularities.
