Imagine having access to the most advanced laser and light technologies on the planet all under one roof. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, this isn’t just imagination—it’s reality.
With over 60 cutting-edge devices representing every major category of aesthetic laser, light, and energy technology, we’ve assembled the most comprehensive collection in San Diego. From gentle skin maintenance to dramatic transformation, from stubborn scars to unwanted tattoos, we have the perfect technology for virtually every skin concern.
The Science Behind Our Approach
Here’s what sets our approach apart: we understand that laser, light, and energy technologies don’t directly create collagen. Instead, they work by activating specialized cells called fibroblasts that live deep in your dermis. These fibroblasts are your skin’s master craftsmen, responsible for producing hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers, the three essential building blocks that give skin its strength, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
When our precision systems create controlled responses in your skin tissue, they send powerful signals to these fibroblasts to begin rebuilding and remodeling. The result? Stronger, smoother, healthier skin from the inside out.

TotalTat³: Proprietary Tattoo Removal
TotalTat³ is our revolutionary proprietary laser tattoo removal system that combines up to six different laser technologies in a single treatment session. Developed by our board-certified dermatologists, this innovative procedure can remove tattoos of any size, color, and complexity from any body part, regardless of skin tone.
The TotalTat³ system primarily utilizes PicoSure, PicoWay, and AcuPulse lasers, with the optional addition of Q-switched lasers for maximum effectiveness. By combining multiple laser wavelengths and energy delivery methods, we can eliminate most tattoos in just 3-5 sessions—less than half the number needed with traditional single-laser approaches. Our expertise extends to cosmetic tattoo removal, including lip blushing pigment and permanent makeup, as well as radiation marker tattoos for cancer survivors.
