Looking your best can feel like a losing battle when you don’t feel good in your skin.
Clearer skin, balanced energy, and a more sculpted body usually start with taking care of your health from the inside out. Self Care LA serves patients from Brentwood. Dr. Bharat Kothakota and his board-certified team begin with your internal health, so your outward beauty reflects something real.
At our office, we combine wellness support with advanced aesthetic treatments to help you care for your skin and body. We offer services like laser hair removal, Botox, dermal fillers, and other non-surgical options to soften fine lines, improve skin texture, boost collagen, and restore your skin’s natural glow. Every consultation is tailored to your features, your concerns, and the results you want. Our approach to self-care in Brentwood respects your appearance, your feelings, and your goals for treatment.
How you feel shows up in how you look. Board-certified Dr. Bharat Kothakota and his team build care around that connection, blending wellness support with aesthetic treatment so your energy, your skin, and your features feel more in sync.
At Self Care LA, proudly serving Brentwood, that can mean weight loss support and peptides alongside dermal fillers, Botox, and other treatments that restore volume, support skin rejuvenation, and respect your natural structure. The result is a thoughtful plan for your face and body that feels balanced, polished, and easy to live with.
Self Care LA is a wellness-minded med spa with care focused as much on how you feel as on how you look. Led by board-certified physician Bharat Kothakota, MD, MPH, our team focuses on weight loss, peptides, and aesthetic services that support your skin, your energy, and your overall well-being from the inside out.
We welcome both new and returning patients who want thoughtful care, personalized treatments, and a plan that reflects their real concerns and long-term goals. If you’re ready to take the next step with Self Care LA serving Brentwood, you can call the office or book your consultation online today.
At Self Care LA, weight loss care should reflect your life, your schedule, and how your body responds to treatment. Our medical weight loss program is built around individual support, with plans shaped to your needs instead of a standard formula. If you’re working with us from Brentwood, you can come into the office or choose a virtual consultation and still receive the same thoughtful, medically guided care.
We offer semaglutide and tirzepatide injections to help manage appetite and support metabolic health, along with B12 + MIC injections for added energy and metabolic support. You’ll also have ongoing guidance from a medical team that tracks your progress, makes adjustments when needed, and keeps your treatment grounded in expert care rather than guesswork.
Hormonal changes can affect your sleep, energy, focus, and sense of balance in ways that are hard to describe and even harder to manage. Hormone Replacement Therapy helps bring back stability so your body feels more steady and familiar.
At Self Care LA, this care is part of a broader wellness plan built around how you actually feel day to day. For patients we serve in Brentwood, hormone support can be an important step toward optimal wellness, better energy, and a stronger foundation for everything else.
Some days call for more than good intentions and a multivitamin. Wellness shots offer concentrated nutrient support in a format your body can use quickly, which makes them a practical option when energy is low, recovery feels slow, or your system needs extra backup.
These treatments are a simple way to support your well-being with very little friction. If you’re balancing work, workouts, family life, and everything else that fills a Brentwood calendar, this kind of direct support can fit into your routine without asking much from your schedule.
NAD+ plays a central role in how your cells produce energy and manage repair. When those systems feel sluggish, the effects can show up as mental fog, low stamina, and that drained feeling that sleep alone does not always fix. NAD+ injections are used to support those deeper processes in a more direct way.
For many patients, this treatment becomes part of a bigger conversation around aging, energy, and maintaining function under stress. It is one of the ways we help support vitality from the inside, with care that is grounded in how your body actually works.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act like signals in the body, helping direct certain processes tied to recovery, metabolism, and performance. Peptide therapy allows us to use those signals in a more intentional way, based on what your body needs the most support with.
This is a highly individualized category of treatment. Some patients are focused on recovery. Some are thinking about body composition, hair restoration, or energy. Some are trying to support long-term health in a more precise way. The treatment plan depends on the person, which is exactly why the consultation matters.
Men tend to come in wanting results that look sharp, subtle, and easy to live with. The concerns may include hair restoration, skin maintenance, body contouring, or small refinements that strengthen facial features without making the work obvious. The approach should match that mindset.
At Self Care LA, men’s services are built around restraint, structure, and function. For the Brentwood patients we serve, that can mean care that supports confidence, appearance, and performance without turning treatment into something overly complicated or overdone.
If your energy feels off, your skin looks tired, or you’ve been meaning to take better care of yourself without knowing where to begin, this is a good place to start. Dr. Kothakota and the team build treatment plans around what fits your life, your schedule, and the way you want to feel when you walk back out into the day.
You don't have to settle for decent and call it enough. With the right support, you can feel more like yourself again—stronger, clearer, more rested, and more at home in your skin.
Before founding Self Care LA, Dr. Bharat Kothakota built his clinical foundation in emergency medicine, where quick decisions and strong judgment were part of daily life. He is a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician who trained at Howard University and completed residency in the South Bronx, then went on to serve in leadership roles in Los Angeles, including Medical Director positions at Olympia Medical Center and Sollis.
His move into aesthetics started in a far more personal way. A request at home turned into his first Botox treatment, and that early experience grew into a deeper commitment to medical aesthetics, wellness, and natural-looking results. Since then, he has performed hundreds of procedures and developed an approach grounded in precision, restraint, and real medical oversight. Dr. K also holds a Master’s in Public Health and has worked on public health initiatives abroad, an experience that continues to shape the way he thinks about care. At Self Care LA, he brings that same clinical depth to every treatment plan, helping patients feel more capable, more supported, and more at home in their skin.
With more than 15 years in the medical field, Allie brings structure, warmth, and steady guidance to the practice every day. As a Certified Wellness and Nutrition Coach, she plays a central role in helping patients build routines that support lasting change, both inside the office and at home.
Her work includes personalized weight loss support, nutrition coaching, and practical guidance that fits real life. She knows that progress usually depends on consistency, trust, and having someone in your corner who can help you stay with it. Patients appreciate her calm, grounded approach, and her favorite part of the day is seeing someone leave feeling stronger, clearer, and ready to keep going.

She has trained with leading injectors across the country and brings both technical skill and aesthetic judgment to every appointment. Just as important, she creates an experience that feels reassuring from the start. Patients should feel informed, comfortable, and clear on what they are choosing, especially when the treatment is on their face.

She is focused on helping each patient feel comfortable, informed, and well cared for throughout the treatment process. Her style is attentive and steady, which makes a difference in a setting where trust and follow-through shape the entire experience.
We provide the kind of care people in Brentwood actually want to come back to. The space is warm, the approach is thoughtful, and the experience is built around you as a whole person, not a list of appointments. We care about how you feel when you walk in, how clearly your options are explained, and how supported you feel once your treatment plan is in motion.
Our team values care that feels personal, polished, and easy to trust. We are here to offer guidance, customized care, and treatments that reflect your features, your comfort level, and the way you want to move through the world. Self Care LA is proud to serve Brentwood as a beauty and wellness destination for patients who want expert care with a human touch.
Self Care LA offers a focused mix of aesthetic treatments that support your skin, your hair, and the way your features age over time. That includes Botox, dermal fillers, and advanced microneedling options that help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and support visible skin rejuvenation with a natural finish.
Along with SkinPen, patients can choose Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling or microneedling with PRP, depending on the concern and the depth of treatment needed. We also offer PRP hair restoration for patients looking to support fuller, healthier-looking hair with a treatment plan grounded in expert care and real results.
Morpheus8 brings skin tightening and skin resurfacing into the same conversation. This non-surgical treatment uses fractional radiofrequency to reach beneath the surface of the skin, helping improve skin tone, refine texture, and support stronger collagen production over time.
For patients who want firmer-looking skin without surgery, Morpheus8 can be a powerful option. It works beneath the surface and into the deeper layers, helping reduce crepiness, early laxity, and visible signs of aging for a smoother, more radiant finish.
Body ContouringPRP hair restoration uses your body’s own growth factors to support the health of the scalp and encourage stronger hair growth over time. The treatment starts with a small blood draw, then the platelet-rich portion is separated and placed into the treatment area to help support follicles that have become weaker, slower, or less productive.
For patients noticing thinning, shedding, or early changes in density, this can be a useful next step. At Self Care LA, we build each consultation around your pattern of loss, your scalp health, and what kind of hair restoration plan makes the most sense for you.
PRP Hair RestorationMorpheus8 is one of our go-to treatments for patients who want stronger skin rejuvenation without surgery. Using fractional radiofrequency to create controlled injury beneath the surface, it helps trigger healing in the deeper layers of the skin and supports healthy collagen production over time.
This treatment is a strong fit for concerns like acne scars, uneven skin texture, fine lines, and visible wrinkles. As new collagen builds, the skin can look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed, with a tone and texture that feel more even and easier to live with.
Morpheus8Botox and dermal fillers are some of the most effective ways to soften visible fine lines, ease wrinkles, and bring balance back to the face without surgery. They work in different ways, which is why the best results usually come from knowing what each treatment is there to do. Botox helps relax movement that creates forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. Fillers help restore volume, support facial balancing, and soften areas like the lips, cheeks, chin, and folds around the mouth.
A good treatment plan should make sense on your face, not just on a menu. At Self Care LA, we use consultation to look closely at your features, your expressions, and the changes you have started to notice over time. From lip injections and dermal fillers to Botox placed with restraint, every treatment is built to support natural movement, refined structure, and results you can actually live with.
Botox & FillersLumecca IPL is a light-based treatment used to improve visible pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone. It can also help treat concerns like acne, mild hyperpigmentation, spider veins, and dark spots that keep your complexion from looking as clear and even as it could. For many patients, this is the treatment that helps bring back glowing skin when discoloration is doing most of the visual work.
At Self Care LA, Lumecca is part of a broader plan for skin rejuvenation and healthier-looking skin. During your consultation, we look at your concern, your skin type, and the areas you want to treat so we can determine whether this is the right fit for your treatment plan.
Lumecca IPLPregnancy can change the way your body looks and feels in ways that do not always bounce back on their own. Loose skin, stretch marks, areas that feel less toned, and texture changes through the abdomen or hips can linger long after everything else has moved on. A non-surgical mommy makeover gives you a way to address those shifts with treatment that fits real life and real recovery.
At Self Care LA, this approach may combine Morpheus8 and EvolveX to help tighten skin, improve tone, and support a firmer look throughout the body. For scars and stretch marks, treatment can also be tailored to the area and the concern. Your consultation is where we look at what has changed, what you want to improve, and how to build a plan that feels practical, supportive, and worth your time.
