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.”

FAQ
Potenza features four different RF modes and enhanced penetration, reaching deep into the skin to trigger natural healing responses. Unlike other RF microneedling treatments, Potenza can be performed on all skin types, anywhere on the body, and at any time of the year. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile solution for skin rejuvenation.
Potenza radiofrequency microneedling is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to address signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin/skin laxity, acne and acne scars, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots and sun damage, enlarged pores, dull/tired-looking skin, rough/dry skin, crepey skin on face/neck/body, and cellulite.
We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to ensure comfort. During treatment, a handpiece is placed over your skin, and ultrafine needles combined with radiofrequency energy penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production. You may feel light pressure, and pinpoint bleeding is common but subsides quickly.
Downtime is minimal, with redness, swelling, or tenderness resolving within 2-3 days. Full skin recovery may take up to 5 days. You can resume normal activities immediately, but must protect your skin during healing with proper sun protection and gentle skincare.
You can wear makeup and shower on the day of treatment. Gentle cleansing with fingertips is fine, but avoid washcloths or devices for 3-5 days. Do not rub, pick, or wipe the treatment area. Apply mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide daily.
Benefits include comprehensive rejuvenation addressing multiple skin concerns, personalized treatments customized to your needs, minimal downtime with faster healing, safety for all skin types and body areas, and the ability to combine with other treatments for enhanced results. It’s milder than other resurfacing procedures while delivering effective results.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your skin concerns and the size of the treatment area. Most patients require multiple sessions for the best results. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your skin and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
Yes, Potenza works beautifully as part of comprehensive treatment plans.
