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.”
What Makes Ultherapy Different?
Unlike laser treatments, Ultherapy targets deeper layers of skin using focused ultrasound energy, stimulating collagen and elastin production naturally.
No Cutting or Suturing
Ultrasound energy can target the deep layers of tissue, creating results that were once only achievable with surgical facelifts.
Tighten and Lift at the Same Time
Enjoy the double action of the only device with an indication for lifting and another for tightening the neck. Ultherapy uses the gentle heat that your tissues can absorb without disrupting the surrounding skin.
Treatment for Multiple Areas
Whether you want to tackle sagging skin around the eyes and brow, lips, or other parts of the body, Ultherapy can be adjusted to deliver skin-tightening effects where you need it most.
Safe for All Skin Types
Regardless of your skin type, you can benefit from the effects of Ultherapy. Because this treatment does not target melanin, it can be an effective option regardless of your skin color.

Ultherapy FAQ
Ultherapy works at two levels: it not only tightens the skin’s surface layers but also targets deep foundational tissue that would typically only be addressed in surgical facelifts. Using precise ultrasound energy, it stimulates your body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers. This comprehensive approach helps prevent collagen breakdown while encouraging new collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
You’re likely an excellent candidate for Ultherapy if you have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to enhance your appearance without surgery. Ideal candidates typically want to:
- Address early signs of skin laxity
- Postpone or avoid surgical intervention
- Maintain results from previous cosmetic procedures
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Achieve natural-looking results without downtime
While the treatment experience varies by individual, most patients find it very tolerable. You may feel brief sensations of warmth as the ultrasound energy is delivered. For your comfort, we offer several options including ProNox (nitrous oxide) or oral medication. Our experienced providers will ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Treatment time varies by area: a face and neck treatment typically takes 60-90 minutes, while chest treatments usually require about 30 minutes. During your consultation, we’ll provide a specific time estimate based on your treatment areas.
While some patients notice an initial “glow” and tightening immediately after treatment, your most dramatic improvements develop over 3-6 months as your body increases production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers.
Most patients enjoy improvements that last 12-18 months. While your skin continues its natural aging process, you can maintain your results with periodic maintenance treatments. Protecting your skin from sun damage helps preserve your improvements.
One of Ultherapy’s major benefits is the minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness for a few hours to a few days. Some patients report temporary tingling or tenderness to touch. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Yes! We often combine Ultherapy with complementary treatments for enhanced results. Popular combinations include:
Treatment costs vary based on the areas treated and your specific needs. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your customized treatment plan. While Ultherapy represents an investment in your appearance, its long-lasting results and non-surgical nature make it a valuable alternative to more invasive procedures.
Absolutely. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared and uses ultrasound technology that has been safely used in medical imaging and therapeutics for over 50 years. Our status as Ultra Premier Treatment Providers reflects our extensive experience in delivering safe, effective treatments.
No special preparation is required, though we recommend:
- Avoiding blood-thinning medications for 24 hours before treatment
- Arriving with clean skin free of makeup
- Arranging a ride home if you plan to use oral medication
- Having realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking results
