The Waterfront Med Spa That Orange County Didn’t Know It Needed
Vanity Compound Medical Aesthetics operates out of 3,000 square feet at Peter’s Landing in Huntington Harbor, waterfront square footage most spas would build an entire brand around. Jennifer Diluzzo-Faas doesn’t lead with the water, though. She leads with the dinner table.
“It started with a lot of Sunday night conversations,” she says. Her daughter had worked for a dermatology group and later for plastic surgeons. Her husband, a former football player carrying the wear of it, had already built his own regimen of PRP and IV hydration and peptide therapy. “Everything hurts a little more as you get older,” Diluzzo-Faas says of the logic that pulled them all toward the same idea. The two of them kept circling the same question at the table: what if this became something real? Eventually it did, and Diluzzo-Faas joined them to build it.
The practice now spans 3,000 square feet across ten treatment rooms at Peter’s Landing, double the 1,500 to 1,700 square feet Diluzzo-Faas and her family initially planned. “We had two or four treatment rooms in mind,” she says. Three years later, every room is in use. “I wish I had more space,” Diluzzo-Faas says, “to help every single person.”
What that 3,000 square feet holds is worth the drive. There are ten treatment rooms and overflow space for the days when demand outruns the schedule. An IV lounge with four loungers that functions less like a waiting room and more like a productive afternoon. Clients take calls there, and they share screens on the wall-mounted display. They clear their inbox while the hydration drip works. “We have a lot of that multitasking going on,” Diluzzo-Faas says. Nobody’s losing their day to self-care. They’re building it in.
Vanity Compound’s location at Peter’s Landing in Huntington Harbor comes with geographic trade-offs. “When you’re on the water, you lose half your demographic to the ocean, and another fifteen percent to the harbor,” Diluzzo-Faas says. Boats are distracting, and beach days happen. But the same geography that pulls some clients away draws others closer, specifically, the communities that once defaulted to Newport Beach for lack of a comparable option nearby. Long Beach, Seal Beach, Rossmoor and the surrounding inland neighborhoods now have somewhere local with the scale and staff to match. “A lot of those people used to drive down to Newport,” she says, “because there wasn’t a place of this size here locally.”
The treatment menu reflects that same consolidation instinct. The eCO2 fractionated laser is a resurfacing treatment that addresses pores, pigmentation, wrinkles and acne scarring in one session. For clients who want the results without a two-week recovery window, a lighter resurfacing option delivers the benefits on a more workable timeline. Microneedling paired with Skin Vive has become one of the practice’s most-requested combinations. Nurse practitioner Kacy Voltmer puts the appeal simply: it keeps collagen production active and primes the skin to get more from every treatment that follows.
The peptide and IV program covers immunity, inflammation, hydration and weight management. The range is broad enough to serve clients at different starting points. That breadth has also opened unexpected doors. Vanity Compound has connected with a sober community, first drawn in through the practice’s advanced tattoo removal work. Aesthetics and wellness aren’t separate conversations here. Body contouring rounds it all out, consolidating what might otherwise require three appointments into a single afternoon on the harbor. That same efficiency-minded approach extends beyond the treatment menu.
Diluzzo-Faas talks about her own treatment history with the same direct candor she brings to everything else. Years of sun exposure in her twenties and thirties left marks she’s since had addressed. More pointedly, a nurse flagged a concerning spot on her forehead during a routine visit at her own practice. “It was a little spooky,” she says. “But we caught it. I’m back in business.” She says it lightly, but the practice she helped build did work for her that she’s glad didn’t get missed.
That instinct (toward catching things, toward showing up) runs through the whole operation. The practice’s IV poles make short trips next door to the nail salon when a client wants to stack appointments without losing momentum. They even travel to the chiropractor’s office when it makes sense. It’s a small logistical detail. But it says something larger about how Vanity Compound thinks about its clients’ time: self-care should fit into a real day, not replace one.
At 3,000 square feet with harbor views and a treatment menu that covers nearly everything, Vanity Compound has built what Orange County’s coastline was waiting for. It’s a stretch of Huntington Harbor where you leave with your skin treated, your inflammation addressed and your afternoon still intact. The water will wait, but the results won’t.

Erik Hale is the visionary and publisher behind LOCALE Magazine. He launched the magazine in 2010, wanting to give the community of OC a premiere lifestyle magazine that knew all the native knowledge behind OC. “Six years ago Ashley and I sat at a table scratching the name LOCALE (among some other names) onto a sheet of paper,” says Erik, “coming up with story ideas and basically dreaming. Everything we imagined has happened and we have been blessed with so much more. I am so grateful as we start another year for my family, my two wonderful children, my health, our amazing writers, designers and photographers, our advertising partners and you.”
