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.”

FAQ
Botox Cosmetic is a minimally invasive neuromodulator treatment that targets dynamic wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses to reduce muscle activity. This leads to the smoothing of crow’s feet, frown lines, and other expression-related wrinkles, effectively rejuvenating your skin and enhancing facial contours.
A Botox session is quick, convenient, and often completed in just a short visit, which makes it the perfect lunchtime procedure! The duration depends on the areas treated but generally takes about 5 minutes to complete, allowing you to return to your day with minimal interruption.
While Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Daxxify are all neuromodulators and share the goal of treating fine lines and wrinkles, they are produced by different companies and may have slightly varied formulations, onset, and duration times. The choice between them often depends on individual preferences, duration of effects, and the specific area being treated.
Botox injections are typically associated with minimal discomfort. The treatment process involves fine needles and can be done with or without topical anesthetic. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, minor pinch, making Botox a relatively painless experience.
Post-Botox, most patients experience minimal to no downtime. You might notice slight redness or minimal swelling at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and usually subside quickly, allowing you to continue with your daily activities almost immediately.
Botox results generally last between 3 to 6 months. The frequency of treatments varies depending on individual factors, such as the treated area and muscle activity. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain optimal results, and our dermatologists can help you determine the best schedule for your needs.
Ideal candidates for Botox are those looking to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. This includes individuals with forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and more. Botox is also effective for those seeking preventive anti-aging treatments, starting as early as their 20s or 30s.
Botox is widely regarded as safe, but like any medical treatment, it carries potential risks. The most common side effects are temporary and may include bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. Choosing an experienced injector, such as one of our board-certified dermatologists, is crucial to minimize risks and ensure precise, natural-looking results.
The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months. Over time, muscle action gradually returns and wrinkles may reappear, requiring follow-up treatments. Regular sessions can help maintain smooth, youthful-looking skin, and incorporating a quality skincare routine can help enhance and prolong results.
