Laser MD Cosmetics

i love lisa! i couldn’t be more happy. she’s not there to upsell… she’s there to make you comfortable and deliver the best results. i am doing hair removal and i can’t express how happy i am with the results and how wonderful she is in making me comfortable.

I just started my laser hair removal treatments, so I do not have amazing results yet, but I really like the atmosphere and staff. They are very friendly and helpful. I called and scheduled a consultation and they were able to see me on the same day. The parking lot is super convenient and the location is easy to find and convenient to go to if you live in Lakewood/​Long Beach. They schedule appointments on the weekends, which is very convenient for me and have a female nurse perform the bikini and Brazilian hair removals, which makes me much more comfortable. I have an appointment in an hour and will follow up on how it goes!

This is my second time coming here for Botox. I’m very pleased with my results. Lisa is wonderful. she takes the time to explain everything and is not pushy
I love the fact that they are open on Saterdays and take walk ins. Definitely will be going back for some fillers for my chin.

Amazing Botox injector. I have been to a few places and received Botox and I always ended up with two wrinkles over my eye brows that the dermatologist told me they were afraid to inject because it might cause eyelid droop.
Well I certainly don’t want eyelid droop, but the doctor here was more than confident in his abilities to get rid of them.
Not only was he able to get rid of those pesky eyebrow lines he did it using 5 less CC’s than what I normally got. I will certainly be back!
Ps I also go tattoo removal the same day and that worked out amazing as well.

Clean up-​to-​date equipment.
Friendly staff.
Open surface lot parking.
Dr. is straightforward with procedures.
Scheduled appointment for laser tattoo removal.
Numbing cream was provided.
Treatment lasted about 15 mins.
4 weeks later I noticed a big difference.
Because my tat is red, removal process is a bit different from black ink.
Already starting to fade away as expected.
Came back today for 2^nd treatment.

Sorry to bust up the party with a negative review, but I have to be honest.
It’s pretty sad when you receive more information about a procedure from other Unilocal reviews (thanks, Angela P.) than you do from THE DOCTOR. Here’s what happened:
I called and scheduled a consultation to see about zapping some tiny veins near my cheeks and nose. They’re barely noticable, but they bothered me, and I’d actually had them treated 8 years ago. Last doctor I saw shot them with a laser, my face was red for a few hours, then everything was fine. She’d mentioned they’d probably come back eventually. so here we are.
I took the elevator to the fourth floor where the office is, but when the elevator doors opened up, I was halfway between the 3^rd and 4^th floor! Like I could see the ceiling of the 3^rd/​floor of the 4^th at my waistline. Scary! I pressed 4 again and it worked right. not taking away stars for that, but it was like a warning.
The receptionist was nice and had me fill out forms, then she set me up in a room. The doctor came in for my consultation and after I showed him my tiny reddish spots, he offered to take care of them that day. Wow! I thought I was in luck. The secretary put numbing crème on my face and gave me a consent form to sign. Then the both left the room.
Suddenly I was looking at a sheet of paper I was supposed to sign that said I’d had the following explained to me:
the procedure
side effects
risks involved
outcomes to expect
price of procedure
At this point, NONE of these had been mentioned. So I sat the form down and waited. And my face went numb from the crème, and it occurred to me that I wasn’t even told when to wash it off. After fifteen minutes alone, I was eyeing the sink in the room when the secretary returned. I asked when I was to wash off the crème, and she said that was her job. Ok. I asked about the procedure and price, as she handed the form back for me to sign. But then the doctor came in and my eyes got taped shut and the laser started.
It’s hard to ask questions when you’re covered in numbing crème, being zapped with a laser. Despite the crème, it still hurt and smelled like burning hair. Though I’d asked for just those three spots treated, I felt the laser singe my forehead, temples, and all over my face. I didn’t know what to do. When it was over, the doctor left to go talk to a sales rep. So this left the receptionist to explain how I’d be «sore for a while and need sunscreen» .I paid, bewildered.
Three hours later, my face looked covered with a combination of big curling iron burns and dark purple freckles! Again, last time I received laser treatment, I was really flushed looking for a few hours before looking normal again. Apparently I was given a «photo facial» and that’s why he treated my whole face– the majority of which I had not wanted. I guess maybe he saw areas he didn’t like and took the liberty of «fixing» parts of me I had no problem with. I seriously think he was shooting my freckles off without asking.
Now it’s been two days and my face is still a hot mess. And I have a date tonight. Good thing I consulted Dr. Google about whether or not I can wear make up over my new blemishes. You know, I’m sure my skin will be just fine in a few days– but it’s a crime that a doctor’s office can preform medical procedures without at least giving out a fact sheet to patients.
Non-​cosmetic hospital procedures never happen this way, and I think cosmetic medical procedures should be held to the same standards.

i went about 3 weeks ago i loved it. great customer service made sure i was comfortable with everything i will be going be this saturday for my second treatment

Dr. Clark and the staff at Laser MD Cosmetics are fantastic! I’ve been a patient here for several years and wholeheartedly recommend this practice!
I’ve had great results with Botox injections for my face from Dr. Clark who is thoughtful, professional & never tries to up sell me for more than what is needed for me to achieve natural wrinkle smoothing results & while creating future wrinkle prevention with a routine regimen. I’ve referred my mother here for photo facial & filer work for her sun damaged age spotted red complexion concerns; she looked amazing after her first visit to Laser MD Cosmetics!
My real review here though is for laser tattoo removal!!! I have a very significant large tattoo & after consulting with literally dozens of glitzy Orange County «laser tattoo removal skin wellness day spa’s» and «guaranteed tattoo removal specialists» — I have to tell you; there are so many scammers out there trying to take advantage of the emotional aspect of prospective patients who are interested in tattoo removal! It’s terrible how many unethical empty promises and non-​MD performing procedures are being marketed to we vulnerable tattoo regret people.
When I met with Laser MD cosmetics a few years ago for a tattoo removal consult, I was at my breaking point, exhausted from consulting with so many places who all assured me they were the best, even one place went as far as to guarantee me that for 10 000 $ they could remove my entire back piece tattoo– but only if I jumped quick and made finance plans to lock in that super deal… I was reliving my tattoo regret everyday I met with another would be Laser Skin Company. I was shocked to see how many of them had regular office staff performing the procedures only credentials being a weekend certificate course put on by the laser sales device company — I was scared that I would never find a real legitimate doctor who could professionally assess the likely outcome for my tattoo removal. I was ready to cover up the old tattoo with a newer tattoo as a last resource to rehabbing my unfinished back piece — I was sure that no such medical professional existed who could take on the task of honestly treating me with highly functioning clinical grade lasers intended to remove tattoos… then I met Dr. Dennis Clark @ Laser MD Cosmetics!!!
Dr. Clark is a medical doctor, an experienced dermatologist specialist who personally performs tattoo removal using state of the art equipment. He is a no-​nonsense MD who gives you his honest treatment plan expectations. No tattoo of my size and artistic complexity can be guaranteed to be completely removed & Dr. Clark was very straightforward about what our plan would be, some indication about the result I could expect and more than anything else — I didn’t feel embarrassed or like I was reliving a regrettable tattoo nightmare– instead, I left from my initial meeting with Laser MD Cosmetics feeling hopeful, optimistic & excited to start the journey of reclaiming my self esteem by starting the tattoo removal process!
I’ve had several sessions with Dr. Clark & am having fantastic results! So much that I moved to San Francisco for work for a year and made trips back to Long Beach specifically to have a treatment with Laser MD Cosmetics. I trust this practice and Dr. Dennis Clark that much. Tattoo removal for large tattoos is a process that takes time as life gets in the way, it’s not a cheap quick or painless process to remove a large tattoo but, I’m making tremendous noticeable progress and my suggestion to any of you considering tattoo removal services — do not hesitate to entrust in Laser MD Cosmetics. Dr. Clark is the real deal. His staff are amazing, his equipment is up to par & he is the one using it –not some office admin with a weekend certificate!
Bottom line– Laser MD Cosmetics is my one stop derm skin care center. I don’t need the flashy marketing antics of a fly by night scammer skin spa — I need a real doctor, with a real treatment plan & real results. I get all of my needs met here & I can not wait to see the final results from my substantially fading tattoo removal project.
Thank you Dennis, thank you Charlotte, thank you Laser MD Cosmetics

I have been coming to the place for 6 years to do Lazer hair removal and love it!!! I always make my appointment with Lisa she is the best and knows what’s she’s talking about… best thing is she works on Sundays :) very clean and always up to date on new equipment. I recommend this place to all my friends and family. I would give 10 starts if I could. Ps Charlotte who works reception is a doll, always has a smile on her face an is the sweetest!

The doctor messed up my skin. I had Fractional for my intended purpose of the treatment. I did not tell him I am also in the medical field. He came to the room, put on his gloves without washing his hands, didnt tell me the benefits, risks, and possible outcomes or call for any untoward effects or follow up. I know it’s in the consent that I signed but It felt like it’s just a task for him. Don’t we all want to hear from our doctor that we will get some improvement specially when dealing with skin. Well, I got pimples which I didn’t have prior to my visit. The reason I did not go back … I do not want to see that doctor again who has bad customer service and just to be charge for more payments of a bad work he did.

I went to this office because I bought a groupon for a photofacial. Honestly, I did not do much research before purchasing (which I probably should have). I was very lucky that everything turned out great. I had an appointment with Lisa who was so nice. She was very friendly and made me felt at ease right away.
I have fair skin with a lot of freckling which I have been trying for years to get rid of using creams and lotions. Nothing ever worked. Lisa said right away that I was an ideal candidate for this procedure. The pain was tolerable; the laser felt like pin pricks all over your face. Your discoloration will get really dark immediately after so you will not look good for a few days. I was a bit apprehensive immediately after since my skin was red and was peppered with dark spots. Your skin will also feel like you have a very severe sunburn for the next 12 hours or so. Trust that 90% of the dark spots will come off in about 3 days. The waiting part was probably the hardest. But now I am so happy that I did this!

I came here with my GroupOn to get a photo facial. It’s a bit far from me (I’m in Westwood), but I thought it would be worth it seeing as I really had been wanting to get this done for the last few years, and I am on a tighter budget nowadays.
The office is in a medical building with ample parking. When I walked in, I met Charlotte who had been so wonderful with me on the phone. (Side note: I had tried to come in a few days earlier on a Friday right after work and the 405 was very… well, you know… typical LA traffic. I called her about 3 times updating her on my status, but ultimately I told her that I would not be able to get there in time and she was very understanding and rescheduled me for the following Monday. Such great service!)
I was set up in a room right away. I filled out two pages of new patient forms while speaking with Dr. Clark about a few things unrelated to sun spots. He listened and told me that if the photo facial didn’t help clear some my redness (it’s not primarily supposed to be for that) that had developed over the last 5 years, that he would give me some cream to use on it. Soon after Charlotte came in to prep me. She gave me a hair cap and put numbing cream on my face. This stuff worked immediately!
After about 10 to 15 minutes someone else came in to do the actual photo facial. I didn’t catch her name because at that point I was numb and eye patches were being put over my eyes, but she was wonderful. A great personality and very knowledgeable! The laser felt like a rubber band snapping against my skin in some areas, and on others, I didn’t feel it at all. She was thorough and explained what she was doing before she did it, which made me feel reassured.
After the procedure was done, my face felt a little sunburned and it looked like someone had thrown some dirt on it. It was speckled all over with dark brown spots. Not the best look, but it would be gone in about 5 days, so it’s not that bad. You can still wear makeup over it to tone it down a bit. I iced my face all night and the sunburn feeling was gone by morning. I’m very excited to see the results and go back in for my second!
All in all, everyone there was friendly and personable. I would definitely recommend this place! Also, right now they have a 20% off promotion on Unilocal so that’s just another plus. :)

I am soooo impressed with the results of my laser treatment. I’ve only been to 2 sessions and already have seen amazing results! It’s a small office but furnished quite nicely and the front desk lady Charlotte really tries to make you feel at home. Dr. Dennis is a witty man, doesnt talk too much and gets my treatment done in a reasonable amount of time. I would wait for the Unilocal deals to make an appointment though — many times they have offers that are 20% off laser hair removal treatments! I am definitely recommending this place out to my friends — they give you a $ 25 credit if you refer!

This doctor is great. Dr. Dennis Clark — he’s not just a «spa» doctor but an internist who really loves making people look and feel better. I’ve done many laser peels plus fillers around my mouth. My skin is flawless and Dr. Clark doesn’t overdo it with the filler in my lips, just enough to bring back a little fullness that I had in my 20’s so I don’t have that swollen lip, overdone look. There are a couple different types of laser peels that can be done, I’ve done both, but he never overdoes it for me. He can do it as strong as you like, but I prefer to do a light peel more times so I can get right back to life. I drive from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach because I trust him so that says something…
