Is Sculptra Safe And FDA Approved?

Yes, Sculptra is FDA approved and has a strong safety record when administered by a trained professional. It has been used globally for over two decades in both cosmetic and medical settings. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a biocompatible substance that has been used in dissolvable sutures and other medical applications. As with any injectable, there is a risk of temporary swelling, bruising, or small lumps under the skin, but these side effects typically resolve on their own.

Dr. Sarshad is truly outstanding. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly, so you always feel confident and informed. His approach is thoughtful, precise, and professional. On top of that, he’s genuinely kind and makes the entire experience feel easy and personalized. You can tell he’s a true specialist who really cares about getting the best results for his patients. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for expert care.

The reviews are what brought me to Cosmetique Aesthetics, and I’m happy to say they were spot on. Dr. Sarshad & Rose took the time to really listen to my skin concerns and were very patient throughout the process. I never felt rushed or pressured, which made the experience all the more comfortable. Overall, a great experience & very happy to have found this place. Highly recommend!

Dr. Sarshad is amazing at making you feel at ease and comfortable during times that can be uncomfortable! 0/10 pain and 10/10 experience. I love my results and most definitely found a trusted person to handle my face! Also, rose in the front is a doll!

I had an amazing experience at Cosmetique Aesthetics with Dr. Sarshad and Rose. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and responsive, always available via text to answer questions and provide guidance—both before my procedure to ensure I was fully prepared and well after to monitor my recovery. Rose was thorough in walking me through all the paperwork and instructions, making sure I felt informed and comfortable. Dr. Sarshad’s skill and attention to detail are truly impressive—he took great care to deliver the results I was hoping for and keep my incision practically undetectable. I am one month post-op and my healing process has been smooth. I’m already beyond happy with how I look and I know the results will only continue to improve as the swelling subsides. From consultation to post-op care, the entire team exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering a procedure, I highly recommend Cosmetique Aesthetics for their professionalism, expertise, and outstanding patient care.

I had an amazing experience at Cosmetique Aesthetics! Dr. Sarshad and his staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and he was thorough in explaining my treatment options. He took the time to walk me through the entire program, ensuring I understood the plan to achieve my goals. His expertise and personalized approach made me feel confident in my treatment, and so far, I’m truly impressed with the results. Plus-great location. I highly recommend.

I am from Memphis and have been coming to California for medical reasons that I could not receive anywhere else. Dr. Sarshad is part of a medical team who’s been attending to my care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doctor and his nurse Rose. They are professional, attentive, have gone above and beyond to care for me, are accessible, are extremely knowledgeable, and in the forefront of innovation & technology beyond the rest of the industry. I am so thankful to have landed in their amazing care. I would recommend this doctor to everyone & will be returning myself in the future.

Was recommended by a friend and I’m so happy I listened. I haven’t had any work done before but I recently turned 35 and I’ve noticed some changes. I went in for a lip filler and asked for it to be super subtle and he definitely delivered. They are perfect! I also asked him what else he would do. He was totally honest and said my skin was pretty well maintained and only recommended minor botox on the eyelid, which I will go back for.

Parking was easy. The staff was great. And the doctor was honest and thorough. Will be back soon!

Sammy North

I’m 43 and I look 30. Enough said.

Butttt if you’re asking..
Parking is great. Facilities are incredibly clean and well kept. Doctor is so skilled you will never walk away looking like a plastic real housewife of whatever city they are currently filming in. I’ve sent every client that sits in my chair to this man and every single one loves him. 👏🏻 his team is sweet and helpful. It’s really the only place on the west side OR in my opinion Los angeles to go for any cosmetic procedure.
Thanks Doc!

I did my first-ever facial treatment here recently - a Frazel laser on my neck and face. I did a lot of research on treatment options and wanted to start with the Fraxel. I felt comfortable with Dr. Sarshad and I saw excellent results, as he stated I would. My skin felt tight right after treatment, a few days after treatment I had dead skin and was very serious about post-care: not scratching, not picking at the skin and covering my face from the sun. The tightness was so much that I would put hylauonic acid (though next time beta glucan) on my face. The surface imperfections on my skin were significantly reduced, my skin tightened and, on their own accord, acquintances noticed I looked younger, I definitely noticed too. The treatment was crazy painful for me on the neck though. Dr. Sarshad and Rose gave post-care instructions that I followed. I have since done several other treatments but the Frazel is #1. Thank you so much!

I have been consistently going to Cosmetique Aesthetics for over two years now and am happy with my treatment and results every time. Rose is amazing and has really helped me with my skin since I started seeing her. She also makes great recommendations for at home care and products to use. I definitely recommend booking a facial or any other treatment with her!

Brylle Tabora

08:21 22 Oct 24

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! The treatment wasn't effective at all and the compliance team wasn't very responsive to my calls/emails. I had to ring them a couple of times and up to now they haven't resolved my issue. I'm not going back to their clinic!!! I JUST NEED MY MONEY BACK!

Emily Quezada

22:29 10 Oct 24

Dr. Sashad is great! He makes you feel very welcome and takes the time to get to know you and make sure you’re comfortable. His staff is just as nice! They’ll reach out to you to ensure everything is going smoothly after a procedure. Highly recommend!

This place is so awesome and welcoming! Everyone makes you feel right at home. The doctor is very honest and there is no upselling! Dr. Sarshad takes his time and explains the process. I actually asked about an additional procedure and Dr. Sarshad said I did not need it and explained why. Rose the Aeshetician is very warm and easy to talk to about your concerns and will recommend treatments you can benefit from if you ask her. I really appreciate their honesty and results. There are no gimmicks and upselling just providing great professional services by a M.D (not a P.A). Just give them a try, you’ll never go anywhere else! This is an honest review that is way over due!

I have been using Dr Sarshad’s services for 2 years and have found several factors that elevate this practice above the place I had been using for the past 10 years nearby. I have never had to wait for my turn to be seen. He is very punctual and doesn’t overbook. Dr. S. always makes sure that the procedure is pain free. That’s never happened elsewhere. His prices are better than nearby med spas. His staff is super polite and friendly. They answer the phone promptly. And last but not least, we have always enjoyed great conversation whenever I come in. He is well traveled and has a friendly way of sharing his experiences.

I finally made an appointment with Cosmétique Aesthetics after a friend raved about their services for years. It was the best decision ever! Dr. Sarshad is a true artist. My filler results were far superior than any of the other well known Doctors I had been seeing. I have also never experienced such painless procedures. His office staff are informative and professional and don’t make you wait for hours like other facilities. I won’t be going anywhere else. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Sarshad, Cosmétique Aesthetics!

Stephanie Oneal

Dr. Sarshad is excellent, and I highly recommend him. He makes recommendations based on his expertise but he never pushes or tries to upsell. His staff is great, too, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Sheila Coleman

I have been going a couple of times a year for several years now to Cosmetique for facial filler. I am always happy with the results. Subtle yet effective. The staff are excellent and accommodating. Dr Sarshad is quite knowledgeable and personable. Wouldn't dream of going any where else.

This is a gem of a medical spa in Culver City. There aren't enough stars for Dr Sarshad Ramin, Rose and staff they are kind and caring. My blood pressure was through the roof and I had not been to my MD since the pandemic. The Dr told me to go to my MD or the ER asap. My SM Dr recently retired and I had to search for a new one, Since then he has helped me lower my blood pressure and literally saved my life. The menu at Cosmetique Aesthetics has everything to look better and feel better - from IVs, weight loss options, injections and surgery.

Dr. Sarshad has been lovely to work with! I just received my first chemical peel 3 days ago, and so far the experience has been great. I’m excited to see the results on my hyperpigmentation. I really appreciate how communicative Dr. Sarshad has been, very accessible and helpful for all of my questions. I’m confident I made the right choice in choosing Cosmetique for my skin journey. Stay tuned for before and afters which I may add to my review later — woot!

Visits never disappoint, I feel rejuvenated every time after treatment. The team is friendly, professional and very informative. I also like that they are punctual, this is not one of those doctor’s offices that give you an appointment then make you wait forever to see the doctor once you get there! Highly recommended!

Alexia Garcia

18:30 23 Aug 24

To begin with let’s start off with how careful and respectful the doctor and staff are. They make sure you feel welcomed and safe. I came in for dermal filler for my lips and came out looking so good and very happy. I actually went somewhere else before coming here and it was the worst they left them so bad and didn’t know if there were going to be able to fix them. Luckily Dr. Sarshad was able to fix them and make them look good as new. Words wouldn’t explain how happy I am of my results. Thank you!

i’ve been visiting Dr Sarshad for at least 10 years and I’ve consistently been happy with my results and his workmanship when it comes to natural-looking botox and fillers. (And i am very picky about my appearance, just ask him!) He is also honest and doesn’t rush. I absolutely recommend!

I have been coming to Cosmetique for years and would never go anywhere else. From the professional staff that feels like your best friend to the very knowledgeable doctor who always has the latest in technology available, I just love it here. The staff and doctor are truly invested in their patients with constant follow-up and wellness checks after procedures. As soon as you walk in you instantly feel like you are not just another appointment on their calendar for the day, you are family. I had severe melasma covering 1/2 of my face. It had gotten so bad I didn”t want to leave the house without a mask of makeup to cover the dark splotches all over my face. Dr. Sarshad started me on a 6 month program. I am 3 months in and my skin looks so good now, I can leave the house confidently with no makeup. I also get dysport injections for the wrinkles in my forehead. I instantly look and feel 10 years younger! This office has improved my quality of life and mental health so significantly, they are my angels of self care.

I had a fantastic experience at Cosmetique and highly recommend seeing Dr. Sarshad! I have TMJ and was told by my dentist and oral surgeon to do get botox for my jaw, specifically my masseter muscles. I've had this done 4 times now with varying results - it really matters who you see and this is a great place for it.

Dr. Sarshad was amazing and my results were wonderful! I expressed my concerns from a past experience somewhere else, he put me at ease as he talked me through his process, evaluated my jaw muscles and administered the botox. I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Sarshad checked in with me a couple weeks later to make sure things were set in and I was happy with the results - which I was :)

I have been coming here for a couple of months once a week now for weight loss management & treatment and I am already so happy with my results and the journey I am on. The doctor and his staff are fantastic. I feel great from the inside out!!! I am seeing very consistent results. I also appreciate the hormone testing and finding ways to get to the route of what is going on in my body. They take that very seriously unlike past doctors or nutritionists I have experience. Speaking of, I get great nutritional tips from the doctor and Rose on his team that have truly helped me. It's truly life changing. It really clicked for me in terms of changing my dietary habits. I also appreciate that the first time I came in they asked me straight up if I would like to know the number how much I weigh. They are very aware of the sensitive nature of it which I feel like 99 percent of doctor's offices do not fully comprehend. I really appreciated that because I personally get very obsessive about the exact number so it's helpful for me that I just know the lbs lost rather than the exact number on the scale. Very happy thus far and couldn't recommend working with them enough.

Carolyn Kiefer

00:28 05 Jun 24

As someone who was hesitant about cosmetic procedures of this nature, I have to say Dr. Sarshad is remarkable. He took his time to explain the process, what was being used, and carefully walking through his recommendations. I highly recommend him and his team.

I’ve been coming here for lip and under eye filler since 2017 and when I tell you The amount of compliments i receive when I get my lips done here by Dr. Sarshad is incredible. He’s so kind and helps me feel comfortable right away. His technique is amazing.I never have any bruising or pain. Best work I've ever had. Thank you always Dr. Sarshad.

Dr. Sarshad is the absolute BEST! Very talented, honest and kind. I would recommend him and his staff to everyone I know. Very happy with my results!

Ana Grande

16:24 16 Apr 24

I've been a client for a number of years, and they are, by far, one of the best. They individualize treatment based on your needs, listen to what's happening, and gently walk you through the process.

As someone who battles with PCOS , they have experience running labs, developing a regimen that works for your body, hair removal, weight loss medication, and above all- seeing results!

They treat you with a white glove service, are flexible with your schedule, and know you by name. Highly recommend!

Audrey Payne

We have been going to Dr Sarshad & his staff at Cosmetique since 2005. We have used them for Botox, laser hair removal, B-12 IV's and wellness injections, IPL facials and many other things. The staff is fabulous, courteous, kind, friendly and very helpful.

Today I went in to get lip injections for the first time. I absolutely love my results. Dr. Sarshad was so helpful. He did his best to calm me down because I was super nervous. He made me smile so much, he was very fun yet professional. I feel so beautiful with my new lips.💋Thank you Cosmetique Aesthetics!

21:19 26 Oct 23

Absolutely love this place! The staff is wonderful and friendly. I had several balding spots on my head so I went to Cosmetique for help. The doctor started me off with prp injections for the scalp and believe me, that stuff works!!!

My bald spots are almost gone and my hair feels thicket than ever. I couldn’t have had the confidence I have now if it wasn’t for Dr Sharshad and his knowledgeable staff. Plus they will work with you to get you the best bang for your buck! Definitely a must go place for me. I highly recommend it.

I’ve been seeing Dr Sarshad for many years. Dr Sarshad and his staff are amazing! I was back in his office for an aesthetic procedure and I have to say their care before, during and after the procedure was espectacular. I had a great experience. I’m still healing and everything is looking so good. I’m so excited with the results so far. Dr Sarshad and Rose, the officer manager, were the most professional and compassionate humans I have encountered. When you are looking to put yourself in the hands of others it’s such a difficult and scary decision. With Dr Sarshad was easy and pleasant. I love this place. Would recommend 100%!

Shonese Bermudez 'student'

My experiences with Dr. Sarshad has been excellent and his staff is always extremely friendly and helpful . Dr. Sarshad takes the time to explain options thoroughly , listens to your concerns and never pushes you in treatment options. I am extremely pleased with my results in both weight loss and injections. I would highly recommend him.

Isabel Juarez

20:33 02 Sep 23

Dr. Sarshad is amazing! He stays up to date with the newest procedures in rejuvenation. I have been his patient for the past 14 years. ( I did see other medical doctors while I was relocated for work outside of LA, and ended up returning to him -driving 2 hours to see him). He is an awesome Dr. who is dedicated to providing you with quality results. He takes the time to study your needs and applies the adequate care to best benefits you. I feel young I look young and family and friend tell me how great I look for my age. Highly recommend him.

Nancy Adzentoivich

23:55 11 Oct 21

I had a great experience here. I had Juvederm filler placed in my lips for the very first time. I was nervous about not only the pain, but also about looking too "done", the doctor made sure that wouldn't happen. He listened to all of my concerns and understood what I hoped to achieve. I just booked my second appointment for a completely different service and I am very excited!

UPDATE: I have been back countless times since my original review and I can only say that I continue to be very satisfied with the results achieved by Dr. Sarshad and team! I refer my friends all the time and everyone who visits the office has had a similar experience.
