Arta Medical Spa — Local services in Washington

This was my very first experience with any type of medical spa, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Arta Medical Spa for my Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) removal. After turning 40, I noticed the growing number of DPNs that were appearing on my face and neck, which started to make me less confident. I started searching for a place that specialized in African American skin, as I’ve heard that melanated skin can sometimes react negatively to certain treatments. That made me especially nervous since the removal was on my face.

While skimming through different websites, I paid close attention to companies that included discussions about melanated skin and photos of African American women. Arta Medical Spa checked those boxes.

Scheduling with Safiyah was super easy and convenient. From the moment we met, she was so personable and welcoming, which instantly eased my nerves. She reassured me about the process, explained everything clearly, and was incredibly knowledgeable about proactive skin care, management, and follow-up.

The actual removal was quick, the pricing was reasonable, and the results are amazing! Most importantly, now they are gone and the skin is healing! I have committed to wearing sunscreen daily to protect my skin going forward.

I highly recommend Arta Medical Spa and Safiyah to anyone, especially those with melanated skin. If you’re looking for professional, safe, and effective skin care this is the spa for you. I’ll definitely be back for future...

Dr. West is truly a standout in the world of medical aesthetics. From the very first appointment, she took the time to understand my needs and made sure I felt completely comfortable and informed every step of the way.

I’ve completed five laser hair removal sessions with her (full Brazilian and underarms), and the results have been incredible. Not only have I experienced zero complications, but the texture of my skin has improved dramatically. I no longer struggle with painful ingrown hairs or the hassle of weekly shaving—my beauty routine is now so much easier! I also really appreciate that her laser is safe and effective for brown skin, and she’s been so attentive in ensuring flawless, lasting results.

In addition to laser hair removal, I also trusted Dr. West with facial balancing treatments, including Botox and filler. I was a little nervous initially, but she explained everything in detail, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Her post-treatment instructions were clear, and once the normal swelling subsided, the results looked completely natural—like a more refreshed version of myself. I’m looking forward to trying her PRF treatment for my under eyes soon!

If you’re looking for a skilled, thoughtful, and meticulous expert to guide you through your medical aesthetics journey, I can’t recommend Dr. West enough. She’s the one...

I had an amazing experience at Arta Medical Spa!

From the moment I walked in, Safiyah made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She offered me water and coffee, explained the entire laser hair removal (LHR) process from beginning to end, and made sure I understood what to expect and how to take care of my skin afterward.

She was extremely professional, detail-oriented, and patient offering breaks whenever the treatment got intense.

The office itself is spotless, easy to find, and has a relaxing atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

As a Black man who’s struggled with razor bumps and ingrown hairs for years due to my coarse curly hair (even had to spend a few days 8 in the hospital because of them!), I was honestly nervous at first. But Safiyah really understood my skin type and hair texture, and she customized a treatment plan specifically for my complexion. That level of care made all the difference.

I also love that this is a Black-owned business, and I truly encourage more men especially men of color (fellas please ignore all stigmas!! your body will thank you) to be open-minded to the benefits of these treatments. I’m already seeing a huge improvement, and I couldn’t recommend Safiyah and Arta Medical Spa...
