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.”
Why You'll Love Your Neck Tightening Results in San Diego
You deserve treatments that address all your neck aging concerns at once—not just one issue at a time. That’s why we combine cutting-edge technologies with proven techniques to give you back the youthful neck contours and smooth texture you’ve been missing.
When you choose Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, you’re choosing the superior treatments and results you’re looking for.
Proprietary ThermiSculpt³ Excellence
Our exclusive ThermiSculpt³ treatment, developed and offered only at our practice, combines three powerful approaches in a single session: ThermiTight radiofrequency for skin tightening, micro-liposuction for fat removal, and dermal fillers for enhanced definition. This comprehensive treatment can dramatically reshape and tighten your neck and jawline without surgery.
Advanced Skin Tightening Options
We offer the most effective skin tightening options available. Ultherapy® Prime is the only FDA-cleared device to lift lax neck skin using focused ultrasound, while Thermage FLX® uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production. Sofwave® provides innovative ultrasound technology for precise skin tightening with minimal downtime.
Nonsurgical Skin Tightening
XERF uses multifrequency radiofrequency energy to heat shallow, middle, and deeper tissue layers, helping improve visible laxity, firmness, and skin surface quality across the neck and jawline. The treatment also supports fibroblastic function to enhance hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production, with gradual improvements developing over time.
Precision Fat Removal
For double chin concerns, we offer multiple proven approaches. Kybella® injections permanently destroy fat cells using deoxycholic acid, while CoolMini uses cryolipolysis to freeze away submental fat. Our world-renowned liposculpture techniques provide permanent fat removal with minimal scarring.
Advanced Laser and Light Therapies
Our comprehensive laser arsenal includes Fraxel® Dual for texture improvement, PicoWay® and PicoSure® for pigmentation correction, and IPL photofacials for overall skin quality enhancement. Our signature Take5 and Take10 multi-laser treatments can incorporate neck rejuvenation into comprehensive facial anti-aging for dramatic overall results. Our own Dr. Mitchel Goldman led groundbreaking research on combination CO2/Er:YAG laser therapy, demonstrating superior improvement in neck skin texture and fine wrinkles with virtually no side effects.
Specialized Injectable Treatments
We use targeted injectable approaches for specific neck concerns. Botox® and other neuromodulators relax platysmal bands for smoother neck contours, while Restylane® and other HA fillers address superficial wrinkles in the delicate neck skin. Radiesse® and Sculptra® biostimulators provide long-term improvement through enhanced hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production.

FAQ
Neck aging occurs due to loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastic fiber production, sun damage, gravity effects, and muscle changes over time. The thin neck skin is particularly vulnerable to environmental damage and shows aging signs earlier than other areas.
Yes. XERF uses multifrequency radiofrequency energy to heat shallow, middle, and deeper tissue layers, helping improve mild neck laxity and skin firmness without surgery. It also supports fibroblastic function to enhance hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production, with gradual improvements developing over time.
The best treatment depends on your specific concerns. ThermiSculpt³ addresses multiple issues simultaneously, Ultherapy excels for skin lifting, Kybella targets fat removal, and combination approaches often provide the most comprehensive results. Our consultation will determine your optimal plan.
Neck skin is thinner and more delicate than facial skin, requiring specialized techniques and energy settings. We adjust treatment parameters specifically for neck anatomy and use gentle approaches like diluted Belotero filler to avoid complications in this sensitive area.
Yes, combination treatments often provide superior results. For example, we might combine Ultherapy, Thermage, or Sofwave for skin tightening with Kybella for fat reduction, or use ThermiSculpt³, which already integrates multiple modalities. We customize combination treatments based on your specific needs.
Results vary by treatment. Injectable treatments like Botox show effects within days, while fat removal with Kybella or CoolMini shows gradual improvement over weeks. Skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, and Sofwave provide progressive enhancement over 3-6 months as new hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastic fiber production occurs.
Duration depends on the treatment approach. Botox lasts 4-6 months, dermal fillers 12-18 months, fat removal treatments provide permanent results, and skin tightening treatments can last 1-2 years or longer. Combination approaches often provide the longest-lasting enhancement.
Our treatments are FDA-approved and performed by board-certified dermatologists with extensive neck rejuvenation experience. Side effects are typically minimal – temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness. We provide comprehensive pre and post-care instructions for optimal safety and results.
Most treatments require minimal downtime. Non-invasive options like Ultherapy, Thermage, Sofwave, and injectables allow immediate return to activities. Liposculpture may require 2-3 days of compression garment wear, while laser treatments might cause temporary redness that resolves quickly.
We carry premium medical-grade neck treatments specifically designed to support and extend your results. Our collection includes the Alastin Restorative Neck Complex, which helps restore skin elasticity and firmness, and SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair, formulated with advanced peptides to target the unique needs of neck skin. Our dermatologists will recommend the ideal product combination based on your specific treatment plan and skin needs.
