Contrapposto Clinics

Contrapposto is an aesthetic medicine clinic in West Hollywood, located on La Cienega Boulevard between Waring and Willoughby Avenues, near Melrose Place. The clinic is part of a beauty house established in 2023 by Nick and Casey Axelrod-Welk, which also encompasses bespoke skincare and fine fragrance.

The clinic’s verified services include dermal fillers and microneedling. Contrapposto describes its clinical practice as guided by anatomy, clinical discipline, and a measured approach to aesthetic care. The clinic states that each patient is treated as an individual rather than as a candidate for a fixed protocol.

Clinical team

Casey Axelrod-Welk, AGNP-C, leads the clinical practice. His background includes cardiology and internal medicine training, clinical positions at Weill Cornell and Mount Sinai in New York City, and work with the Men’s Health Foundation and Goodskin Clinics in Los Angeles.

The team also includes Christina Ramsey, R.N., a Senior Injector whose background includes inpatient oncology and aesthetics training, and Lauren Pietz, APRN, who has worked in women’s health and completed aesthetics training in Europe. Their listed approaches emphasize clinical skill, anatomy, patient care, and natural-looking refinement.
