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.

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!

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 :)-

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!

Fraxel Re:pair FAQs
What is Fraxel Re:pair laser treatment?
+
Fraxel Re:pair is an advanced fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing procedure that removes damaged skin at the microscopic level while stimulating new collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production. It targets wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage for smoother, firmer, and more even skin.
How does Fraxel Re:pair work?
+
The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing process. This fractional approach treats only a portion of the skin’s surface, promoting rapid recovery while replacing damaged tissue with fresh, healthy cells.
What skin concerns can Fraxel Re:pair treat?
+
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- Sun and age spots
- Acne and surgical scars
- Uneven tone or texture
- Lax, sagging skin
- Precancerous lesions (actinic keratoses)
Is Fraxel Re:pair safe for all skin types?
+
Fraxel Re:pair is best suited for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) and requires evaluation for darker skin to reduce pigment risk. Our dermatologists will customize laser settings and pretreatment skincare for optimal safety and results.
How long is recovery after Fraxel Re:pair?
+
Most patients experience redness, swelling, and mild crusting for 7–10 days. The skin gradually heals to reveal smoother, younger-looking skin. Redness may persist for up to two weeks but can be reduced with our pulse dye laser post-treatment.
How many Fraxel Re:pair sessions will I need?
+
Most patients achieve excellent results after one treatment. However, depending on the severity of sun damage, scarring, or wrinkles, a series of sessions may be recommended for optimal rejuvenation.
When will I see results from Fraxel Re:pair?
+
Results begin to appear within 7–10 days and continue improving over the next 3–6 months as collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production regenerates beneath the surface. Individual results may vary.
Can Fraxel Re:pair be combined with other treatments?
+
Absolutely. Many patients pair Fraxel Re:pair with injectables, tightening devices using Ulthera, Thermage or Sofwave, or our Take10 rejuvenation protocol for enhanced anti-aging results and long-term skin health.
How long do Fraxel Re:pair results last?
+
Results can typically last for years when maintained with sun protection, skincare, and periodic touch-ups using lighter resurfacing lasers such as Fraxel Dual or Clear + Brilliant. Individual results may vary.
Why choose Cosmetic Laser Dermatology for Fraxel Re:pair in San Diego?
+
Our team helped pioneer laser resurfacing techniques and has performed thousands of Fraxel Re:pair procedures with exceptional results. As global leaders in cosmetic laser research, we combine science, safety, and artistry to deliver smoother, healthier, and naturally youthful skin.
