5/5 STARS

Farzaneh is incredibly warm, kind, and compassionate. Additionally, she is a very knowledgeable medical aesthetician and is highly skilled at her craft. I felt like I was in good hands while she did a thorough examination of my skin, and I appreciated her taking the time to walk me through all of the procedures for my customized facial. Everything from the environment, the explanations, and the procedure itself were calming and relaxing. My skin is already so much healthier and happier after my first session, so I’m looking forward to coming back for more treatments!

I recently visited Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and had the pleasure of receiving a custom facial treatment from Farzaneh, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the start, the online booking process was super easy and convenient, which was a great first impression. The spa itself is elegant, clean, and absolutely huge. Farzaneh’s treatment room was not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly comfortable. She was absolutely incredible—explaining every step of the process as she worked her magic on my skin. My treatment included a dermaplane, a salt facial, extractions, a glycolic peel, and a custom mask while I relaxed under a red light. It was a luxurious experience from start to finish. Before starting, I mentioned concerns about my t-zone texture and discoloration, and Farzaneh tailored the facial to address those areas. The results far exceeded my expectations! My skin felt softer, looked brighter, and I walked out feeling radiant. She even recommended some great products to help me achieve my long-term skincare goals. While it was on the pricier side, I truly believe you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I’ll definitely be returning and am already looking forward to trying more treatments. If you’re looking for a top-notch facial, I highly recommend booking with Farzaneh at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology!

I’ve had the most gratifying experience at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology. Leysin is a caring and attentive physician assistant. Thanks to her recommendation based on my skin concerns I met with aesthetician Farzaneh. I was so nervous in my initial Consultation/treatment with her but It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Farzaneh is the absolute best! She carries the right energy and makes me feel comfortable every single time. She is truly professional, knowledgeable, caring, honest, and delivers results. She is majestic and truly divine.

I have been a loyal client to Farzaneh for well over a decade. She is a highly skilled esthetician and keeps my skin glowing with her gentle approach and cutting edge facial products and techniques. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to look amazing and have beautiful skin!
