I trust Farzaneh Momeni completely with my skin. She is by far the best clinical aesthetician I’ve ever known. My skin has improved dramatically since I began monthly facials with her. Her treatments are 100% results-driven so if this is what you seek, look no further. Also, the entire Team at West Dermatology are top-notch. They’re always friendly, professional, & helpful, & greet everyone with a smile. 10 Stars all around!
My new regular cosmetic dermatology office. Dr Zubair is amazing and really patient with me. He has helped me over the last year with keloid scar removal, jaw Botox, and full facial acne scar treatment (ultra clear). The office is clean and the nursing/medical assistant staff is accommodating on all levels. I will always recommend this office and Dr Zubair to friends and family.
Most professional and most impressive! The service from the physicians to office staff is superb!
I live in Orange County and drove all the way out to see Dr. Wu because a friend of mine referred him (she had amazing results from her face and neck procedure). Dr. Wu is truly an artist! He made me feel extremely comfortable during my procedure. I was anxious when I got there, but he (and his staff) have such great energy and are so very kind and gentle that you can't help but feel at ease! The office was immaculate and they adhered to covid rules (sanitizing, temp checks, masks). This is my go-to place from now on and Dr. Wu is my go-to guy! Can't wait to see my final results! Thank you Phyllis (pre-op) for being so wonderful and informative! You were so very helpful and kind! I'll definitely be back!
Leysin and the entire team at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are fantastic. They are professional, caring and communicative. The laser treatment was comfortable, efficient and effective! I highly recommend this practice. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
Dr. Goldman is amazing! I came here for my permanent eyeliner removal (which is not offered anywhere near me), and they are completely removed in just one session. They use a special contact lens to protect your eyes from the laser, and there are no damages to my eyelashes. The healing was also nice and smooth. They have everything you need. I live almost 3 hours away, but it was totally worth the trip. For anyone who is looking to remove their permanent makeup, this is the right place to go :)-
Dr. Butterwick is fantastic, all of her team as well. They make sure your experience is pleasant and painless as possible. My tattoo removal and my injectables look amazing. I highly recommend her for any skin treatment.
Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was recommended to me by my dermatologist. He recommended Dr. Monica Boen. I'm so glad I took his recommendation. Everyone here at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was super nice and friendly. Very welcoming. I came here for hair removal treatment. I did 4 sessions with Dr. Boen. Dr. Boen made me feel so comfortable and at ease when I talked to her. She explained everything before she did my treatment. I loved that. She was really easy to talk to. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
This office is awesome. My visit today was with Dr. Groff. His bed side manner is so fun and welcoming. He understood my concerns and recommended a treatment plan that I feel was reasonable. I love his staff! They take there time to make sure you understand the treatment and after care. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to the nurses in the back, are so friendly and beautiful. They are very prompt and I trust my care with CLD. I can't wait for my next visit. See you guys in a few weeks!
"Dr. Sabrina Fabi is genius! Her technique is unlike anyone, her eye is precise, and her kindness and caring manner comes from the depth of her soul. She's simply brilliant! It's no wonder people travel the country just to be treated by her."
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had such an awesome experience for my first visit and I am referring everyone I know to this office. From the super friendly staff to the state of the art procedures, they are the cream of the crop.
“I came to participate in a research study. All of the Doctors and staff at C.L. Dermatology are very professional, warm and friendly. All our my needs were anticipated and the hospitality of this office is like a five star hotel.”

Radiesse FAQ
Radiesse is a calcium-based biostimulator that not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. This results in longer-lasting effects (up to two years or longer) compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, with continued improvement in skin quality over time.
Radiesse is perfect for men and women noticing reduced volume, deep wrinkles, or folds throughout the face, chest, knees, or other areas of the body. It’s also suitable for those looking to reduce visible veins or tendons on the hands. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your concerns and aesthetic goals.
Your treatment begins with an assessment by one of our dermatologists to determine the precise amount of Radiesse needed. Treatments are infused with lidocaine to ensure comfort, with optional numbing agents available. Multiple injections will be administered to treated areas. Treatment time varies based on the areas being treated.
Downtime is minimal. You may have pinpoint bleeding, redness, swelling, itchiness, or bruising, but these effects typically fade over a few days. You can immediately return to your regular skincare routine. Swelling can last 3-7 days, and you may feel lumps where the filler was injected, which typically subsides in about 3-7 days.
You may use your regular skincare products and makeup immediately after treatment. Ice packs may be used to ease tenderness and swelling, and you can take Tylenol for any discomfort. Do NOT manipulate, rub, massage, apply pressure, etc. to treated areas or lay face down after treatment. If you get a bruise, we offer complimentary laser treatment the following day to help clear it.
Benefits include immediate volumizing effects, stimulation of natural collagen and elastic fiber production, results that can last up to two years or longer, effectiveness on multiple body areas including face, hands, chest, and knees, and the ability to combine with other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Results are immediate but continue to improve over 2-4 months as your body produces new collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. A series of three sessions over a few months may be needed to achieve natural, longer-lasting results. During your consultation, our dermatologists will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.
Both Radiesse and Sculptra® are biostimulators, meaning they encourage your body to produce new collagen and improve skin firmness over time. While each product uses a different active ingredient, both support gradual, natural-looking improvement with results that continue to evolve for months after treatment. Your dermatologist will help determine which option best aligns with your goals and the areas you want to improve
Yes. Like Sculptra, Radiesse is ideal for anyone seeking gradual refinement with results that last. It offers immediate softening plus ongoing collagen support, creating smoother, firmer contours without an overfilled appearance. Many patients choose it when they want subtle, progressive rejuvenation and improved skin quality throughout the face or body.
Yes, Radiesse works beautifully as part of comprehensive treatment plans. It can be combined with other dermal fillers, Botox Cosmetic®, Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage, laser treatments, and advanced skincare for enhanced results and comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
