Corrective Skincare LA

What Corrective Skincare LA does

Corrective Skincare LA is a paramedical esthetics clinic founded in 1996 by Jennifer Kramer and operated from a single location at 2811 Wilshire Blvd #900 in Santa Monica, California. The practice specializes in corrective, goal-oriented skincare rather than relaxation-oriented spa facials — delivering advanced acne treatment, hyperpigmentation correction, chemical peels, DiamondGlow, and adjunct non-surgical facial rejuvenation, supported by virtual consultations and an online booking system. The clinical team is small (1–10 employees) and credentialed at the paramedical esthetician level, with the founder's 28-year tenure serving as the principal institutional asset of the practice.

Revenue is generated through two channels: (1) in-office clinical services booked through the online scheduling system, and (2) direct-to-consumer sales of the proprietary CSLA Skincare line and complementary products via an e-commerce storefront. A subscription membership ("The Lovely List") provides recurring access to aesthetic services and represents a structural shift toward predictable revenue per patient.

In February 2025 the clinic merged with Skin by Lovely, a regional aesthetics platform described as one of the largest BOTOX providers in the United States, consolidating the Santa Monica operation into a combined skin wellness center and announcing plans to extend the CSLA brand and service protocol into Skin by Lovely's existing clinic network in Washington and Oregon during 2025. Post-merger, the combined entity operates under the Skin by Lovely brand.

Emerging players

• Curology: Curology is a direct-to-consumer telehealth skincare brand that custom-formulates prescription acne and anti-aging treatments. It serves the same acne-sufferer and hyperpigmentation customer segments Corrective Skincare LA targets, but via a remote/telehealth subscription model rather than in-clinic services.
• Apostrophe: Apostrophe is a dermatology telehealth platform that pairs patients with dermatologists for prescription skincare including acne, hyperpigmentation, and anti-aging. Comparable on customer base (acne/hyperpigmentation patients) and product offering (custom-formulated topicals) but uses a remote rather than in-clinic delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• LaserAway: LaserAway is one of the largest aesthetic services providers in the US, with clinics across multiple states including California. Offers non-surgical facial rejuvenation, chemical peels, and acne treatments that overlap directly with Corrective Skincare LA's service menu, at far greater scale.
• Ideal Image: Ideal Image is a large national med-spa chain offering Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, and skin rejuvenation services. Comparable as a clinical aesthetics provider with multiple locations offering therapeutic skincare alongside injectables, though it is a much larger and broader-focused operator than the boutique CSLA clinic.
• ZO Skin Health: ZO Skin Health, founded by dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, is a medical-grade skincare brand offering treatment systems sold through physician offices and online. Comparable via the medical-grade, results-driven positioning and physician-formulated product line that overlaps with Corrective Skincare LA's paramedical product strategy.
• Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a dermatology-founded professional skincare brand offering treatment serums, peels, and at-home devices. Comparable on the proprietary product line (CSLA Skincare) side, targeting similar anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, and acne concerns, with broader retail distribution.

Regional players

• Alchemy 43: Alchemy 43 is a boutique aesthetic studio specializing in injectables and skin treatments with locations in Los Angeles and other cities. Comparable as a clinical/cosmetic skin clinic operator in LA using a contemporary aesthetics brand and online booking model similar to CSLA.
• SEV Laser: SEV Laser is a med-spa chain with locations in California (including Los Angeles) and other states, offering laser hair removal, skin treatments, facials, and injectables. Comparable as a multi-service aesthetic clinic in the same California/LA market as Corrective Skincare LA.

Direct peers

• Skin by Lovely: Skin by Lovely is the merger partner and now parent entity; it is one of the largest BOTOX providers in the US, operating injectables and skin wellness clinics in California, Washington, and Oregon. It is directly comparable as a clinical aesthetics and skincare service provider, and now absorbs Corrective Skincare LA's brand and operations.
• SkinSpirit: SkinSpirit is a medical spa and skin clinic chain focused on Botox, fillers, laser, and advanced skincare treatments with locations primarily in California and other West Coast states. Closely comparable business model (clinical aesthetics + corrective skincare) serving similar demographics in overlapping geographies.
