I started going to Dr. Darush last year and I am so happy with my decision. I am very pleased with his professionalism and knowledge. I went to him because I needed some botox and it has been a great experience. Norma his front office staff is very kind and helpful. I went to my appointment ready to get botox and possibly filler but when I asked him if I needed filler he was honest and said "honestly you don't". I appreciate that and trust him. I highly recommend this business. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Darush for over 20 years. The filler in my upper lip was performed exclusively by him during that time, which is why I scheduled an appointment with him to dissolve my lip filler. I arrived on time for my appointment. Upon arrival, Dr. Darush seemed different than usual and appeared somewhat distracted. During my appointment, he received a phone call on his personal cell phone and answered it. He then told me he needed to step outside to the parking lot. At that time, I had already been numbed and was waiting for the procedure to begin. Approximately 30 minutes passed while I remained in the treatment room. I became increasingly concerned and uncomfortable due to the length of time he was gone and the lack of explanation. I came out of the room to request a refund because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding. Each time I came out, the nurse urgently told me that he would be back soon and repeatedly instructed me to return to the room. Her reaction made me feel even more uneasy, as I felt she was trying to prevent me from going out to the parking lot. When Dr. Darush eventually returned, his demeanor seemed completely different. He appeared upbeat and said, "Okay, let's do it!" He also returned with an unfamiliar man who remained in the waiting room. I did not know who this individual was, and his presence added to my discomfort. At that point, I told Dr. Darush that I no longer felt comfortable having him perform the procedure. I explained that his leaving for an extended period of time, combined with the circumstances surrounding his return, caused me to question whether I could trust him to perform a medical procedure on me safely. In response, Dr. Darush said, "I don't do drugs like you do." I was shocked by this statement. I do not use drugs and do not drink alcohol. I felt this comment was inappropriate, accusatory, and extremely concerning coming from a physician. After this interaction, I no longer felt that I could trust Dr. Darush to perform any procedure on me. I requested a refund, and he left the area, brought the same individual from the waiting room, and took him into a back office area that was not a medical treatment room. I cannot say what was happening, but the entire experience was extremely concerning and made me feel unsafe. Given the circumstances, I believe this behavior warrants review. I am considering reporting this incident to the medical board because I am concerned about whether Dr. Darush is currently able to safely and professionally provide medical care to patients. read more

I was excited to have a consultation. They sent me several reminders and links on when to hop on. Unfortunately the doctor didn't show up/hop on the virtual appointment. I called to ask and they said he's busy. At the very least, they could have rescheduled me in advance. Waste of time. read more

Dr. Darush is absolutely the best. Been coming here for over 10 years and I've always had great results. The last time I was here, he did fillers on my nose and lips. I love my results - I look symmetrical! Fabulous! read more

NewSkin Laser Center - Love the office look and the Botox. Lol always happy visiting Dr. Darush - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Northridge, California

SUPER SKETCHY! I called for a laser hair removal appointment of the face, receptionist told me it costs between $35-45. I booked my appointment - come to find out it's IPL and not real laser. Furthermore, it wasn't even a registered nurse performing the "laser." Whatever. I go to pay and she charges me $150!!!! WTF? I told her that's not what the receptionist told me on the phone, and she tells me I must have called the wrong number even though it was THEIR NUMBER that I called. Absolutely ridiculous I am in shock - BEWARE of this place. read more

THE BEST. Hands down. Or up. I only trust NewSkin with my skin. Best lasers, dysport, everything. Professional, cutting edge and always expanding their ability and equipment. I've been going here for over 6 years with no plans of stopping because the results are too good. Thank you Dr.! Appreciate everyone here and their hard work. read more

New Skin is my favorite spot to get my lips done! I always come back here as the staff is friendly, the doctor takes his time to ask what I want and ensure I am happy. I've had my lips done at other salons and offices and have been left very swollen and bruised, which has lasted for days. That is never the case at new skin. I am able to go out the next day and swelling is gone the second day. I highly recommends his office, if your thinking of lip fillers!!!! read more

NewSkin Laser Center - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Northridge, California

I've been coming here for the past few years. The doctor has always been so nice and wanting to make sure that I'm truly satisfied with my results. I was able to try the newest alternative Botox on the market (Daxxify) which again left me satisfied :) Thank you! read more

I been going to their Encino location for 4 years to get laser hair removal. I usually get my sideburns laser, the nurse went all the way down to my cheek where I has some peach fuzz ( An area I didn't ask) so when the hair grew back it grew back thick and now I look like I have a beard. I called to see what they could do for me and they took 0 accountably and said I could have grabbed a pencil to mark the area, when I was never given the option to do it. DONT trust your Nurse to know what she doing, because she should have been trained that going over thin hair can make it thicker and like said the company takes 0 accountability for their nurses mistakes. Of course I wont be going back. read more

I've come to see Dr.Darush for both internal medicine and cosmetic purposes. He is a great doctor and has an awesome team. Both my parents are patients of Dr.Darush and are very happy with their care. He gets to know you as a patient and helps address any needs you may have. He also stays on top of the latest technology when it comes to your cosmetics needs and never tries to upsale products you're not interested in. The young ladies who assist and manage the office Norma and Jennie are spectacular. They are very professional and courteous and want to make sure you have a great experience. They're very attentive when you call for appointments and have a system to remind you of appointments too . They always try the best to accommodate me . Norma and Jennie have gone out of their way to make sure I'm informed of results , follow-ups, and assist when it comes to my check-up or cosmetic treatments. No unhappy office staff here . Also there is plenty of parrrkkkinnggg . Yay! read more

I found another laser specialist, who's been featured on ABC eyewitness news a few times, to help me with my sunspot. Dr. Dishakjian from Nu Vela Laser & Vein Center, treated my sunspot and after 1 IPL session my sunspot is barely noticeable. Also, after going to Dr. Dishakjian, I realized how overpriced Dr. Darush is. Dr. Darush charges $300 for one sunspot with $0 consultation fee, while Dr. Dishakjian charges $150 for one sunspot, including a $75 consultation fee. The reason I didn't go to Dr. Dishakjian first was because I was worried about losing the consultation fee. However, I shouldn't have been because Dr. Dishakjian is extremely knowledgeable with laser and treating sunspots. He will find a way to help you. I like that Dr. Dishakjian practices in a hospital, too. Doing so hones his skills and keep him up-to-date with the latest in industry. Most of my favorite doctors--kids' pediatrician, primary, ob-gyn, allergist, etc--practice privately while working in hospitals or are teaching professors. Unfortunately, Dr. Darush just splits his time between his two offices (even then time management is poor and you end up waiting forever to see him because his offices overbook him constantly). On that note, the waiting time at Nu Vela was about 10 minutes. I had to come in an hour before my appointment to apply the numbing cream but I was able to spend that hour at home (or elsewhere if I chose). When I came back near the end of my hour, I waited about 10 minutes before being called in. I really appreciated their professionalism and keeping patient appointments because I had to get home to put my kids to bed. The office worked with me and my kids' schedule to get my treatment done. I was able to pickup my daughter in time, get the numbing cream applied, drop off my daughter and feed her dinner, then come back for my treatment, and get home to put my kids to bed. The waiting time at Dr. Darush's office was terrible! I was always waiting 1-1.5hrs before being called back. The last time I couldn't even see the doctor because after an hour waiting, I couldn't wait any longer and had to leave to pick up my daughter (I'd even made gotten a babysitter for my 6 month old, so I could make my appointment with Dr. Darush). I was extremely upset about the poor office management and lack of patient courtesy. read more

Dr. Alan Darush is very honest nice doctor. I highly recommend him. His pricing is very reasonable and office is nice and clean.

Dr. Darush is hands down an artist with the best eye for what needs to be done to your face. He is honest & realistic, letting you know what to expect. He takes his time with his patients, making sure the patient knows they're heard. He isn't money hungry, and more does not mean better. Dr. Darush is the only person I trust with my face. He delivers exactly what you want! read more

Dr Alan was great. Came in for a mole removal and he made it a pleasant experience. Highly recommend him. Update: mole came back way darker than ever. Going to have it removed again. Will update review if they fix it. read more

I went to this place because their office in Simi Valley looks beautiful. Unfortunately the Simi location wasn't open the day I wanted to go in for my procedure so I opted for the Northridge location. After a quick google maps search I was a bit taken aback, as this building was nowhere near as nice as the one in Simi. I paid this no mind as they have decent reviews. On the day of my appointment, a Thursday at 130pm, I get to the office and it's nowhere near as clean or spacious as the other location. I had to ask to make sure it was the same doctor as Simi. I get taken to my room a few minutes after 130. I hear one of the receptionists say she's paged the doctor (this tells me he isn't even there for his appointments). While waiting, I see two dark red splash like marks on the floor that look a lot like blood. Around 155 I go out (to a waiting room FULL of people) to ask if it will be much longer. They say they've paged him and are waiting to hear back. The girl comes in a few minutes after 2pm and says he is in Valencia and should be in in about another 20 minutes. I ended up walking out about 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time because my time is JUST AS valuable as Dr. Darush's. read more

I started coming here a couple of years ago for Botox because the price was right and the offices were in the valley. I was kind of nervous to deal with Dr. Darush at first because I didn't want to hear criticism about other areas of my appearance that I couldn't afford to treat. I think that's a method to make you feel disempowered and buy more services. Don't fall for it. Accept that fact that aging is inevitable. Know what you can afford and what your goal is and stick to a plan. But anyway, I was also afraid of the up-sell from either the doctor or his staff. But that didn't happen. The doctor was really pleasant. He has a way of injecting that causes very little discomfort and the entire procedure was more tolerable than I expected. And the results, well that's why I was there right? He asked what I wanted. I said I wanted my frown to go away but not look frozen. That's exactly what I got. Look, I hate to age but I think that frozen unemotional face looks scary. Since I don't want to look freakish, I just want to soften the effects of aging. That's what I got: my frown went away for a few months. I was completely satisfied with the results and I came back. Then one time they called me and said they were having a special offer. I think it was $8 a unit instead of the usual $9. I really don't remember, but it was a discount. I booked immediately. Now that I've been out of work for so long, I'm afraid the stress is showing in my attitude and my face. Wish they would call me now and offer a discount but, honestly, I probably would wait until I got a job again before I returned. But when I do return, it's because the price is right and the service is really good. Also, I've been satisfied with the results. That's it. read more

I have seen Dr Darush for botox for 5 years now. i recently decided to see him for my other medical needs, since he takes my insurance. He told me about Victoza for weight loss. He said it works really well for people who are not diabetic. Since I have been in my 40's its way harder to lose weight. I eat healthy and workout 4 days a week, but can barely lose weight. I started the Victoza 2 weeks and 2 days ago, and have already lost 4 pounds! It makes me have no appetite, and when I do eat I am stuffed on a lean cusine! I love it! I hope to stay on it at least 2 or 3 months. Dr Darush takes his time with all his patients, and he truly cares. I love that I can see him for so many different services too. Norma is awesome as well. read more

Came to pick up latisse. No appointment was necessary. You fill out a form and are handed your boxes right at the reception desk. So very little discourse and no doctor or nurse consultation (maybe one of the girls was a nurse, but she didn't identify herself as such and nurses normally aren't out front). Down side was that their latisse boxes had an expiration date 5 months out. Still valid but I've never gotten a latisse box with an expiration date within a year. I asked if they have ones with later expiration dates and I was told no. So check your boxes before you leave in case they have boxes that expire even earlier. Large parking lot in the rear of the building. read more

I have checked out several other places before I stumbled upon Dr. Darush and his staff at Newskin Laser Center. Everytime I go, the staff are very friendly, knowledgable and quite accommodating. Dr. Darush's non-invasive procedures are a dream come true for most of us and his work is the best I have seen. He is calm, respectful, knowledgeable and honest about his recommendations. He is always on the conservative side and recommends less than anticipated. Prices are great and call for their monthly specials. What I appreciate the most is that Dr. Darush has the PDO thread lift which made a world of difference and natural appearance. I highly recommend Newskin laser before going anywhere else. Did i tell you that i had no pain with his injection technique for Botox and Restylane. Ask for numbing cream (its free) read more

Been coming here for a while. I leave happy every single time! Love the staff! Dr. Darush is the best! Highly recommend him!

Best ever! They deserve 10 stars! Here is why: Free and easy parking lot availability! Seriously don't u get annoyed that every where u go these days u have to pay another $3-20 for parking? The staff: unpretentious, helpful and knowledgable. Norma is great! The doctor: Yes, seeing the doctor Vs. A nurse or PA. Dr Daroosh has great manners and actually listens and discusses ur course of treatment, suggests alternatives that are less expensive and/or more effective. All without an eye on his watch! The cost: very reasonable without giving up on quality. Which in my case meant I actually got more units of Botox for less I have paid other places. The wait time: not even 5 minutes! This is one of my biggest pet peeves I give a 30-40 minutes window for wait time b/c I understand doctors have emergencies that come up in their patient care. It's different than a hair or nail appt! :) So, overall a fantastic experience! read more

Dr. Darush and staff are very professional. I only come to him for my medspa treatments. He is very educated and patient. He takes his time if you have questions and makes sure pure comfortable. I bought my sister and friends here and they come here always now. read more

Everything about this place is amazing but most importantly the staff. Jennie at the front desk was very professional and worked out of her way to help me in anything that I needed to get done. Her coworker Norma was assisting when it came down to my treatment and she was gentle and careful while the procedure was getting done. Will definitely come back! read more

Excellent service front and back office!!!. Dr. Darush genuinely cares and attends to your concerns promptly. The best hidden gem in the valley! Perhaps my favorite thing about Dr. Darush is that you can get your skin taken care of without having to sell a kidney in order to pay for it. His prices are more than reasonable and he never pressures you into buying anything you don't need or can't afford. Highly recommend! read more

Had a great experience at NewSkin Laser Center. Dr. Darush was very patient and caring. He didn't make us feel rushed. He has gentle hands and did a great job on mine and my friend's chin filler. He also pointed out some line/dimpling on my chin that I was insecure about and didn't know that it can be corrected with dysport. Here is another amazing fact. He does not charge an injector fee and will keep your extra product for 3 months. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I am so happy I came across this place!!! It's affordable and you see results!! Dr. Darush is awesome!!! He is so knowledgeable, and never pushes for unnecessary procedures. Jennie at the front desk goes above and beyond her job duties to help everyone. This office works for me!!!! I love this office!!! read more

Dr. Darush is professional and knowledgeable. He doesn't bs you. He will give you options and explain what can be done with realistic expectations. I'm happy I found this place. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. read more

Love this place!! Dr. Narush is so kind and honest. Very happy with my results. I will definitely be going back for a touch up.

I came to Dr. Darush looking to get rid of my "11s" that come with age. My sister made an appointment for me for me as a birthday gift. I have a fear of needles and was hesitant about doing dysport. He discussed my options with me and didn't push me to do anything I didn't want to do. Norma and Jenny are very helpful. They always greet me with a smile and make sure I'm comfortable while I'm in the office. They also reassured me Dr. Darush is very good with his injections. I decided to do Dysport not once but 3 times now. I recommend New Skin for all your beauty needs. Norma and Jenny will definitely work with you for an appointment. read more

Dr. Darush continues to amaze! I came in for a PDO thread lift and cannot be any happier. I am 40+ and my face was beginning to look tired and I had that triangle look to my face. Well, I can say that you see immediate results. Your face is lifted and begins to get better with time once your body starts producing collagen. That inverted triangle look is back and I look refreshed and the effects are only going to get better. I was a little nervous but Dr. Darush comforts you throughout the process and is incredibly gentle. You barely feel a thing. I highly recommended Dr. Darush for PDO and other treatments. read more

Very shocked at their laser hair removal rates!! $200 for ONE session for full bikini?? Most places charge $40 a session! $200 is outrageous!! It's not like they're lasering my back or legs! read more

I always get my Botox done here with Dr. Darush and it's the best. It lasts a long time and I actually drive down from my home in NorCal just to get my Botox done with Dr. Darush. They also have really great deals and packages which is why it's worth the trip to come get my work done here. I highly recommend! read more

I went to see Dr Darush cause of the positive reviews here at Yelp. It is true indeed that he is an expert of what he does . He will listen to your concerns and will make the best recommendations. An expert on his craft with very good people skills . I will definitely come back to see him for my dermatological needs . read more

I came here for laser hair removal. The staff is nice. The actual doctor doesn't seem to know what he's doing. The lady that does the laser is absent a lot. They're not consistent. I had like 4-5 treatments. I won't be returning. They don't seem knowledgeable. I rather go to a more professional place. read more

This place is a joke. I would give it ZERO stars if I could. Booked an appointment online through THEIR website. I arrive and they said they didn't know about my appt and that they don't even take appts at the time I booked. The receptionist texted the doctor who said he would come anyway, then he just didn't show up. He even had a 9:30 appt and was late to that!!! What doctor is late to their appointments?!?!? So poorly managed. Will take my business elsewhere! read more

They have false advertising. Do not go to this place the person on the phone could barley speak English, absolutely no social skills, and was not willing to let me speak to the doctor. Very rude. There add clearly says 350$ for one juvaderm ultra XC and now she is saying the price is 400$. Such unprofessional work ethics. Thank God I didn't go to this doctor because just by the phone calls alone spoke so much about them. read more
