Who Is West Medical Aesthetics? Your Guide to OKC’s Newest Med Spa
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished your skin reflected how you feel inside? At West Medical Aesthetics, OKC’s premier med spa destination, we believe that beautiful, healthy skin begins with a personalized experience built on trust, comfort, and long-term patient relationships.
Founded by Emily Bartel, a nationally recognized Sciton Luminary, SkinPen Ambassador, and Key Opinion Leader, West Medical Aesthetics was created with a simple goal: to help patients feel cared for, educated, and confident in their own skin.
From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. Every recommendation is honest, explained in plain language, and built around you: not a one-size-fits-all package. Here, your skin journey isn’t just about looking better. It’s about feeling completely at ease while you get there!
Our Story
West Medical Aesthetics was founded on a simple belief: patients deserve more than quick fixes and sales-driven care. Emily saw that the world of medical aesthetics in OKC could feel overwhelming, rushed, and transactional.
She wanted to create something different: a place where you’re heard, cared for, and guided with honesty.
With years of hands-on nursing and laser experience, and a national role training providers on Sciton technology, Emily designed West Medical Aesthetics to focus on what matters most: your comfort, your confidence, and your long-term skin health.
That’s why every appointment feels different. Our team takes time to understand your lifestyle, goals, and what makes you feel your best!

Our Services
At West Medical Aesthetics, every treatment is chosen with purpose: to improve your skin’s health, balance, and radiance. Using advanced Sciton laser technology, medical-grade skincare, and injectable artistry, the team creates treatment plans that are as unique as you are.
Laser and Light Treatments
We proudly partner with Sciton, offering some of the most advanced BBL skin treatments in Oklahoma City, as well as Moxi laser services designed to rejuvenate and restore skin with minimal downtime.
BBL HEROic: Targets redness, brown spots, and sun damage while stimulating collagen for smoother, brighter skin.
Moxi: A gentle laser that refreshes dull, uneven texture and helps prevent early signs of aging.
Halo: Uses two wavelengths simultaneously to resurface and rejuvenate, enhancing tone, clarity, and smoothness over time.
Each treatment is customized to your comfort level and skin goals. Many patients choose their series during laser season (fall and winter), when lower sun exposure supports ideal healing.
Microneedling and Skincare
SkinPen Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process and boost collagen production. It’s ideal for softening fine lines, improving acne scars, and restoring a smoother, firmer complexion with minimal downtime.
It pairs perfectly with medical-grade skincare products that nourish and protect your skin between treatments.
Injectables
Botox and dermal fillers are used to restore volume, smooth lines, and refine facial balance. The results are subtle and thoughtful—enhancing your features without changing what makes you, you.
