5/5 STARS

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.”

Indian Skin Care FAQ

Why does Indian skin care require specialized care?
+

Indian skin tones often have higher melanin activity, which can increase the risk of pigmentation changes after inflammation, heat, or aggressive treatments. Without proper technique and device selection, discoloration may worsen rather than improve. Specialized Indian skin care focuses on protecting natural skin color while addressing concerns safely and effectively.

What is the best treatment for melasma on Indian skin?
+

Melasma Indian skin typically requires a combination approach rather than a single treatment. Pigment conscious laser treatments, medical grade skincare, and consistent sun protection work together to gradually improve discoloration. Physician oversight is essential to reduce the risk of rebound pigmentation and maintain long term results.

Is laser hair removal safe for Indian skin?
+

Laser hair removal for Indian skin can be safe and effective when the correct technology and settings are used. Devices are selected to target hair follicles while minimizing heat absorption by melanin in the skin. This approach also helps reduce razor bumps and ingrown hairs over time.

Can hyperpigmentation of Indian skin be treated safely?
+

Hyperpigmentation Indian skin can be improved with carefully selected laser treatments and customized skin care plans. Treatment settings are adjusted to respect melanin rich skin and reduce the risk of post inflammatory pigmentation. Gradual improvement is prioritized to support long term skin clarity.

What is the best facial for Indian skin with uneven skin tone?
+

The best facial for Indian skin focuses on gentle exfoliation, hydration, and calming ingredients to improve uneven skin tone. Custom facials are designed to refine texture and support pigment balance without triggering irritation. Ongoing treatments help maintain results and overall skin health.

Are injectable treatments safe for Indian skin tones?
+

Injectable treatments are safe for Indian skin tones because they do not rely on pigment interaction. Procedures such as under eye filler Indian skin treatments can improve volume loss and shadowing when performed by experienced physicians. Proper technique ensures natural looking results while protecting skin integrity.

Does sun protection matter for Indian skin color?
+

Sun protection is essential for Indian skin color, even with higher natural melanin levels. UV exposure can worsen melasma Indian skin, hyperpigmentation, and other pigmentary disorders. Daily sun protection plays a critical role in maintaining treatment results and preventing future discoloration.
