Sculptra is Not a Filler! Rejuvenate Your Collagen from Within with Sculptra.

In this video, Dr. Mitchel Goldman, Founder and Medical Director of Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, explains how Sculptra differs from traditional dermal fillers. While hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm or Restylane provides immediate plumping by positioning the HA material where it is needed, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid to stimulate rejuvenation naturally from within.

As collagen declines, we begin to see hollow cheeks and temples, deeper smile lines, thinning skin, and loss of firmness. Sculptra addresses the underlying structural changes by gradually rebuilding your skin’s foundation from within.

Results develop over several months and continue improving as new collagen forms, delivering subtle, natural looking volume that can last up to two years or longer.

Here is one incredible result from our medical aesthetician!

In this before and after, medical aesthetician Farzaneh performed a customized VI Peel to improve pigmentation, uneven tone, and overall skin texture on the legs.

The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that gently exfoliates damaged skin while stimulating collagen and cellular renewal. It’s an excellent option for refreshing dull, sun-damaged skin and achieving noticeable improvement in tone and clarity with minimal downtime.

For patients seeking more significant or longer-term correction of deeper pigmentation or textural concerns, our board-certified dermatologists may recommend advanced laser treatments as part of a comprehensive plan.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer both, expert aesthetic treatments for beautiful short term revitalization and advanced laser solutions for long-term structural improvement.

✨ Dr. Darji’s Favorite Ways to Use Botox

When placed precisely, Botox allows us to relax specific muscles while preserving natural expression. The goal isn’t to look frozen; it’s to look refreshed and balanced.

Dr. Darji’s four favorite areas to treat:

• Between the Eyebrows – Softens vertical lines while maintaining natural forehead movement
• Eyes and Tail of Eyebrows– Smooths crow’s feet, subtly opens the eye area, and provides natural lift
• Lower Face – Improves gummy smile, downturned corners, chin dimpling, and enhances jawline contour
• Neck – Relaxes vertical bands to create a smoother, more lifted profile

Thoughtful dosing and strategic placement make all the difference. When customized correctly, Botox enhances facial harmony rather than treating wrinkles in isolation.

Take10 delivers amazing results! Look 10 years younger after just ONE non-surgical treatment!

This patient underwent our signature Take10 combination laser treatment with Dr. Groff to address multiple signs of aging at once.

With Take10, we combine 3 or more advanced laser technologies to target:
• Deep lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Uneven texture
• Skin laxity

By resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen at multiple depths, Take10 delivers comprehensive rejuvenation without surgery. The result is smoother texture, improved tone, firmer skin, and a noticeably more youthful appearance, all tailored specifically to your skin.

If you’re looking for meaningful improvement in one strategic treatment, this may be the solution.

📅 Schedule your personalized consultation to learn whether Take10 is right for you.

✨ Neck rejuvenation without surgery.

In this video, Dr. Boen shares how we approach improving skin quality, mild laxity, and crepey texture of the neck using advanced combination treatments.

As we age, the neck can develop thinning skin, fine lines, laxity, and loss of elasticity, concerns that topical products alone can’t correct. That’s where regenerative technology comes in.

Dr. Boen often combines radiofrequency microneedling, Potenza, Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage, and other energy based devices with neuromodulators and injectables to strengthen collagen, improve firmness, and refine texture. By layering technologies strategically, we’re able to enhance skin structure and stimulate long term renewal, not just temporarily mask the concern.

The goal is natural, refreshed results that restore definition while maintaining facial harmony.

In this video, Dr. Fabi explains why Ultherapy PRIME is one of her favorite treatments for patients noticing early sagging in the neck, softening along the jawline, or brows that don’t sit quite where they used to.

Using focused ultrasound energy, Ultherapy stimulates collagen and elastin fiber production deep beneath the skin, the same foundational layers addressed in a surgical lift, without needles, incisions, or downtime.

That means:
• Lifting and tightening of the neck
• A subtle brow lift
• Improved tissue repositioning
• Less reliance on filler to create structure

It’s a single treatment with gradual, natural looking results. Most patients begin seeing improvement around 3 months, with continued enhancement at 6 months, and results that can last 12 months or longer. Many don’t need another treatment for 18 months.

If you’re noticing laxity but aren’t ready for surgery, this may be the collagen reset your skin needs.

✨ ThermiSculpt for Neck Contouring ✨

Aging in the neck often shows up as loose skin, loss of jawline definition, and excess fullness under the chin. In this before and after, Dr. Butterwick highlights results achieved with our signature ThermiSculpt, a customized combination of ThermiTight and MicroLipo designed to address these concerns without the need for surgery or a traditional neck lift.

ThermiTight uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten lax skin, while MicroLipo targets small pockets of fat that contribute to heaviness in the submental area. When used together, these treatments allow for precise contouring and skin tightening, helping to restore a smoother, more defined neck and jawline with a minimally invasive approach.

💆♀️ Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.

In this video, Dr. Farzaneh shares something we don’t talk about enough, your scalp is skin, and it deserves real skincare too.

When the scalp becomes congested, dehydrated, inflamed, or stressed, hair cannot grow at its best. Poor circulation and buildup over time can directly impact hair quality, thickness, and overall scalp comfort.

That’s why JetPeel and Breeze are two of her favorite scalp treatments.

JetPeel uses high pressurized oxygen and saline to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp, with no needles, no discomfort, and no downtime. It helps remove buildup, improve circulation, and create a healthier foundation for hair growth.

For patients experiencing sensitivity, redness, inflammation, or stress-related hair concerns, JetPeel can be paired with Breeze, an incredibly soothing treatment that calms the nervous system of the scalp, reduces inflammation, and supports an optimal environment for healthy hair.

If you’re investing in your skin, it may be time to give your scalp the same level of attention.

🔎 Take5 vs. Take10 — What’s the Difference?

In this video, Dr. Groff explains how our proprietary Take5 and Take10 combination laser treatments are designed to address different levels of skin aging.

Patients often present with concerns such as brown spots, broken capillaries, uneven skin tone, fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and textural changes. The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of these concerns and the degree of correction desired.

Take5 is a gentler, non-ablative combination laser treatment that targets pigmentation, redness, and early texture changes to create a clearer, more uniform appearance with minimal downtime ✨

Take10 is a more comprehensive, multi-laser approach designed for deeper wrinkles, more advanced textural changes, and more significant signs of aging, delivering substantial rejuvenation without surgery 🔬

If you are unsure which option is right for you, a personalized evaluation is essential.

✨ Laser Scar Treatment Progress by Dr. Goldman ✨

Traumatic scars, such as those from dog bites, often require a staged and carefully planned approach. In this series of before and after images, Dr. Goldman demonstrates how progressive laser treatments can improve scar texture, redness, and overall skin quality over time.

Laser therapy works by stimulating collagen remodeling, softening thickened scar tissue, and reducing residual pigmentation, allowing the skin to heal in a smoother, more uniform way. Results are typically achieved gradually through multiple sessions, with each treatment building upon the last.

Scar revision is highly individualized and depends on the patient’s skin type, the depth of injury, and the timing of intervention.
