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.”
An Alternative for Surgery or Injections
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to target all three layers of your skin – from the visible surface down to the deep collagen-rich tissue beneath. This treatment offers a wide range of benefits:
Deep Tissue Remodeling
Receive controlled radiofrequency energy deep beneath the skin’s surface. This will stimulate your body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers, rejuvenating your skin naturally.
Your Comfort in Mind
Experience Thermage FLX’s integrated cooling technology that protects your skin’s surface while delivering powerful energy to deeper layers. During Thermage you will feel deep heating. ProNoxTM (laughing gas) and medication options are available for you and can be discussed with your provider.
Effective for All Skin Types
Safely treats all skin types and darker skin tones. Nearly anybody with sagging skin is an ideal candidate.
Fast, Efficient Treatment
Treat larger areas more quickly and effectively than ever before, with most sessions completed in 30-90 minutes.
Clinically Proven Results
Benefit from results proven by clinical testing. Thermage has been shown to deliver immediate tightening effects in 87% of cases, 92% of patients experienced further improvements even six months after treatment, and 94% of patients reported that treatment results met their expectations.
Thermage FLX FAQs
Unlike other skin tightening treatments that only heat superficial layers, Thermage FLX uses advanced radiofrequency technology to reach deep into your dermis and subcutaneous tissue. This deep heating targets the layers where collagen breakdown occurs most, stimulating your body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers. By focusing energy where it matters most, Thermage FLX creates more effective tightening and contouring than treatments that only affect the skin’s surface.
Thermage FLX is an excellent option for anyone seeking to address signs of aging without surgery. What makes it truly unique is its suitability for ALL skin colors and types – from the fairest to the darkest skin tones. It’s particularly effective for:
- People noticing early signs of skin laxity
- Those wanting to maintain their youthful appearance proactively
- Individuals seeking improvement in face, neck, or body skin tightness
- Anyone wanting natural-looking results without surgery or downtime
- Those who have recently lost weight and want to address mild skin laxity
- People seeking eye area rejuvenation without surgery
Most patients enjoy improvements that last 1-2 years. Your skin will continue its natural aging process, but you can maintain your results with periodic maintenance treatments. Protecting your skin from sun damage helps preserve your improvements.
Because ThermageFLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat up skin layers, it is normal to feel some discomfort. We will adjust the treatment to maintain effectiveness while alleviating as much tenderness as possible. For added comfort, we offer ProNox (nitrous oxide), which wears off within minutes, allowing you to drive home after treatment. We can also offer oral or IV sedation if you require more than a numbing agent.
Many patients notice initial tightening immediately after treatment. However, your most dramatic improvements develop over 2-6 months as your body increases production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin fibers.
Most patients achieve their desired results with a single treatment session. However, some patients may benefit from a second treatment within three months to optimize their results.
Absolutely! Unlike many other skin treatments, Thermage FLX is safe and effective for ALL skin types and tones, including darker skin that may not be suitable for laser treatments.
There is virtually no downtime with Thermage FLX. Although you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours after treatment, you can return to normal activities immediately.
Treatment costs vary based on the areas treated and whether you choose to combine it with other procedures. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your consultation. Remember that achieving natural-looking results with a skilled provider is an investment in your appearance.
Before treatment, remove all jewelry and artificial eyelashes. Come with a clean and freshly washed face. Wear glasses instead of contact lenses if you need them to read consent forms. Important: Let us know if you have any metal or electrical implants, as these may affect your eligibility for treatment.
