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.
I had lip filler with Dr. Loyal and couldn’t be happier! My consultation with Dr. Loyal was very thorough and in-depth. He really listened to and addressed my concerns, which was the fact I have never had filler before and wanting to make sure that my lips looked naturally enhanced. I love the result of my lips - I've gotten many compliments! I highly recommend Dr. Loyal and will definitely be going back to him for more treatments.
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
Though the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it appears to result from chronic facial skin irritation or inflammation usually resulting from a sensitivity to the Demodex mite that lives in the oil glands. Rosacea typically affects individuals who have lighter skin and blush easily. It’s also very common for rosacea to run in families.
Common symptoms of rosacea include, but are not limited to: irritated and dry eyes, flushed face, excessive tiny blood vessels, sensitive skin, burning skin, breakouts similar to acne, and small red bumps or pimples.
The best treatment varies depending on your specific symptoms and skin condition. For most patients with mild rosacea or those with combined redness and pigmentation issues, our Lumenis IPL (Stellar M22 and M22 systems) provides excellent results with minimal downtime. For more severe cases with persistent redness or visible blood vessels, Vbeam Prima laser is often considered the gold standard. During your consultation, our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
The cost of rosacea treatment can vary depending on your individual needs, including the areas being treated and the number of sessions recommended for best results. During your consultation, our doctors will evaluate your skin and create a personalized treatment plan, at which point we can provide a more accurate estimate.
It’s always ideal for a board-certified dermatologist to perform your rosacea treatment, as they have the highest level of understanding surrounding various skin conditions. All eight world-renowned doctors at CLDerm in San Diego are board-certified dermatologists with a keen knowledge in their field.
Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for rosacea, but there are several effective treatments available that can minimize rosacea symptoms. We suggest visiting an experienced dermatologist for treatment, as you may be a good candidate for oral and/or topical medications or laser treatment such as Intense Pulsed Light therapy or photodynamic therapy to reduce the redness and put the symptoms in remission.
