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.”

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft is a hyaluronic acid gel filler with a firm, cohesive texture specifically designed for lifting and volumizing the midface. The granular consistency provides excellent support for areas requiring significant lift while maintaining natural facial expressions. As the first FDA-approved filler for midface lift and volume, it sets the standard for cheek enhancement.

Combination Liquid Facelift

Laser Icon

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, we often combine Restylane Lyft with other treatments in our liquid facelift approach. This may include neuromodulators like Botox Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, or Daxxify® for dynamic wrinkles.

Complementary Dermal Fillers

To address multiple facial areas, we may combine Restylane Lyft with other dermal fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma for additional volume, Restylane Silk for lip enhancement, Belotero® for fine lines, or RHA fillers for dynamic areas.

Biostimulator Enhancement

For patients seeking long-term collagen, fibroblast, and elastic fiber stimulation, we may recommend combining Restylane Lyft with biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse to enhance and extend results while promoting natural tissue regeneration.

Treatment Process

Patient receiving treatment with Restylane Lyft in San Diego

Our board-certified dermatologists craft treatment plans based on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, working closely with you to develop personalized approaches for optimal natural results. During consultation, we assess your midface structure and discuss your desired outcomes to determine the best treatment strategy.

Treatments are minimally invasive with little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 24-48 hours, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over 7-10 days as any residual swelling subsides.

We focus on achieving natural-looking enhancement while maintaining your unique facial characteristics. Our experienced team addresses your concerns and creates customized solutions that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.

FAQ

What makes Restylane Lyft different from other fillers?

Can Restylane Lyft be combined with other treatments?

How long do Restylane Lyft results typically last?

Clinical trials showed results lasting up to 12 months or longer for many patients, with over half maintaining visible results after a full year. Duration can vary based on individual factors, including metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain your enhanced appearance.

What should I expect during recovery?
+

Most patients experience minimal downtime with Restylane Lyft. You may notice some swelling, redness, or minor bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers can manage any discomfort. Results are immediate but continue improving as swelling subsides.

Who should perform Restylane Lyft treatments?

For the safest, most effective results, choose a board-certified dermatologist with proper training and experience in facial anatomy. Our specialists participated in the clinical trials leading to FDA approval and have extensive experience with advanced injection techniques.

How much do Restylane Lyft treatments cost?

Am I a good candidate for Restylane Lyft?

Candidacy can only be determined through consultation with our injectable specialists, where you can share your concerns and aesthetic goals. Most people experiencing midface volume loss, deepened smile lines, or desire for cheek enhancement are excellent candidates for Restylane Lyft treatment.

Do Restylane Lyft treatments cause pain?
+

Restylane Lyft contains built-in lidocaine for enhanced comfort during injection. We may also apply topical numbing cream beforehand if desired. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment, describing it as brief pinching sensations that quickly subside.
