I had a great experience at Dr. Som's office in Encinitas with Dr. Saami. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional, I just wish I had gotten their names because the entire team was wonderful. I was just a little anxious and nervous. But everyone in the office made me feel very comfortable and calmed my nerves. Dr. Saami took time to listen and explain everything clearly to me. I got PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), Allograft Adipose Matrix (AAM) under my eyes and lips, and dang I look GOOD! I truly felt well cared for and supported throughout the visit. It really was a positive and amazing experience and I appreciated how thoughtful and attentive the whole office was. If you're thinking to visit SOM, do it! Trust me, it's worth it. read more

Dr Saami is wonderful! He listens and respects your goals & preferences. Then he applies his knowledge to make recommendations that make sense. He is respectful, charming, and easygoing. SOM is a class-act, not just a fancy environment but actual science in application. I've had superb results, love it here! read more

Kelly gave me an amazing facial! My first time at this Dermatology office but definitely just the beginning of many more! This place is spectacular in so many ways. The feeling of being cared for, beautiful office space, high quality experienced caregivers. Kelly couldn't have been nicer and took time to explain everything along the way. I was able to meet Dr Saami and was very impressed not only with his friendliness but also his top-tier credentials. Being a physician myself can make it hard to be impressed but this place blew me away! I booked my next visits! read more

Selena is amazing! So sweet, so kind, so professional and a perfectionist !:) she takes her time and educates on the options and the treatment plan :) read more

Dr. Saami is incredibly professional, friendly and understanding. I got referred to him by a bunch of colleagues for hair regrowth. At first I thought it was BS but I decided to invest in my cosmetic health and give it a shot. He put me on a PRP treatment as well as oral Minoxidil and Dutasteride. For the first 5 months I didn't see much, and then BOOM! Now I have a full head of hair (check my attached before and after photos). Can't thank him and his team enough. I plan on going back every 6 months for maintenance. Forget Turkey for plugs!!! Go the natural route with Dr. Saami! read more

I drove to see Dr Sami because I knew how experienced and smart he is . I've had complications from other injectors and knew I trusted him because of his quality of expertise . Sometimes spending more money on your injector is worth it when you don't have to feel the stress of the outcome . read more

Selena is the best! You could not pick a better place to get facial services. They are all knowledgeable and kind.

Words cannot adequately express how thrilled I am to have discovered Som Aesthetics. Having visited numerous beauty clinics abroad and throughout Southern California--including several highly publicized practices in Beverly Hills--I can confidently say that Dr. Saami truly distinguishes himself. Not only does he possess an exceptional bedside manner, but he also devotes ample time to each patient, ensuring they feel heard and thoroughly informed. He takes the time to educate you, thoughtfully listens to your concerns, and works collaboratively to achieve your desired results. His technique is unlike anything I have encountered before, consistently delivering outcomes that other doctors and nurses have been unable to achieve for me. I have received Botox, laser treatment, and lip filler from Dr. Saami, as well as facials with Kelly, and each experience has been outstanding. I am so extremely happy with all my results and treatments from here. All of his team and staff is so kind and knowledgeable. I absolutely adore this practice and am genuinely impressed by the level of expertise and care provided. They also have amazing products and skincare brands. From this point forward, I will trust only Dr. Saami and Kelly with my face. read more

Dr. Saami is one of the best in the field. He is Harvard-trained dermatologist with meticulous attention to detail and a hands-on approach to every patient. This not a typical "med-spa." Dr. Saami delivers high quality and personalized skin care. Dr. Saami sets the bar for excellence in dermatology and overall skin health and aesthetics. He is a pioneer in the field of cosmetic dermatology. When he is not treating patients, he is training other health care providers. I have no reservations recommending Dr. Saami at SOM Aesthetics. read more

After a year of treatments at SOM Aesthetics in Encinitas, I can confidently say this is the gold standard for modern aesthetic care.

I'd never really done anything for my skin before, but dealing with melasma and spending a lot of time outdoors pushed me to finally do something about it. Dr. Saami has been incredibly consistent and empathetic throughout the process. I never felt rushed, and he knows how to explain things simply. It's clear he really cares. The clinic itself is beautifully designed, with great art and a calming vibe. I also appreciated my chat with Dr. Jess shares about wellness and her take is always thoughtful and grounded in real science. Will definitely be back! read more

I found Dr. Sam's athletic practice through Google, and I'm so glad I did! I love the modern office, the convenient location, and most of all -- Dr. Sam's honesty and integrity. He took the time to explain that he wouldn't feel comfortable performing the aesthetic procedure until we confirmed my concern wasn't related to skin cancer. That level of integrity really stood out -- he genuinely cares about his patients' well-being above all else. He even guided me through the next steps to make sure I was taken care of properly. Honesty and integrity matter, and Dr. Sam truly embodies both. I highly recommend him and will definitely be returning! read more

Such an amazing experience here! Dr Saami takes the time to explain his recommendations, has the best bedside manner, and loving the results !

Dr. Saami was caring and thoughtful. He worked with me to understand my concerns and ultimately achieved an outcome I'm very happy with.

I truly don't have enough words to describe how incredible this aesthetic practice is - and that's all thanks to the one and only Dr. Saami. He is a caring, intelligent, charismatic, and unbelievably talented dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon. From the moment you walk into his clinic, you're welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine care that's rare to find. He has treated my face multiple times, and each session has been done with the utmost skill, and attention to detail. I owe my glowing, clear, radiant skin entirely to him. His knowledge, his touch, and his natural ability to make people feel confident in their skin is magic. Whether it's sculptra, laser, filler, Botox, or just skincare advice, you're in the best hands imaginable. If you're thinking of going anywhere else - don't. This is the place. And he is the best dermatologist. read more

I saw Dr. Saami to begin my Accutane journey. I was told up front that the cost would be $250 for the entire 6 months (as well as my copay when I go to pick up the medicine of course). 3 months into my Accutane journey (after not even seeing Dr. Saami at my last appointment which is not legal), I was told that the fee is now $250 PER visit rather than $250 total. I was told this two days before I was going to be out of medication and asked that the fee be waived for my upcoming appointment to which the patient care coordinator said no. It was not until I said I would file a complain with the medical board that Dr. Saami called and said he will waive the fee this time, however in the coming months I would have to pay. Going on Accutane is a huge deal for the individual, and for SOM aesthetics, it was a sleazy move to change the pricing in the middle of the process. I was felt not cared for and ethically I could not believe that the doctor I trusted did not have the decency to stay with me through this emotional process. I'm not sure how Dr. Saami is as an injector or in procedures, I'm sure good, but his morals and ethics are very messed up. I have proof from Mason that I was told it was going to be $250 for the entire process and they just changed their fees in the middle. Other medical professionals I have spoken to are convinced that this is a routine scheme conducted by SOM aesthetics- you sign up being guaranteed one price and then they switch it in the middle of the process, leaving you either forced to pay to stay with them or scrambling to find a new provider. I would not recommend Dr. Saami as your prescriber for Accutane, and if you do decide to go with him, get a signed document when he tells you the price is $250 for the entire journey through SOM aesthetics. read more

I finally treated myself to the Halo laser with Tixel! Dr. Saami and his team took such good care of me before and after the treatment. I had access to Mason (patient advocate) via text which made scheduling, rescheduling and preparing for the laser with my million questions very convenient. The day of my appointment, Dr. Saami managed my expectations for the procedure (pain levels, options etc) and the downtime and healing process. And if I haven't mentioned the facilities yet, absolute state of the art, including the bathroom! Toilet comes with heated seats and more buttons than my 2005 Razr phone. I'm not recommending SOM because of heated seats, obviously, but emphasizing that the attention to detail for patient care is an indicator of Dr. Saami and his team's standards. If SOM is not on your self-care list, you should question your life decisions :) read more

Saami is the GOAT. Probably one of the best dermatologist in the world. Can't say anything more.

Dr Saami is very skilled, knowledgeable, and has great bedside manners. I was very pleased with his services. They take before and after photos and sit down with you to review them in detail, which I had never had done at other aesthetic facilities. The only reason I am knocking down a star is because they are supposed to give you $100 off your service if you are referred by an existing client. I gave them the name of the person who referred me, but I never received this promotion. When I inquired about it, they said they are unable to refund me, but will add the credit for future services. read more

This is the only aesthetics place I trust for my skin treatments. Saami is extremely knowledgeable about all the cutting edge laser treatments - always come out looking much younger. Would give 6 stars if I could read more

SOM Aesthetics has such a talented and welcoming team! It's clear when walking into their facility that they pay attention to every detail- exactly the vibe you would dream of from your aesthetic dermatologist! The service is genuine, kind, and communicative. Dr. Saami's precision and artistry is amazing, as well as his calming bedside manner. I am greatly looking forward to my next visit, and will be telling everyone I know about this wonderful practice! read more

Dr. Saami is the best! I was so fortunate to meet him a few years ago. He's always so precise with his procedures. My botox and lips are always to perfection.

I've referred my clients him and they're all so glad I did! :-D read more

The team at SOM Aesthetics is absolutely amazing! I truly wouldn't trust going anywhere else.

It's such a welcoming vibe every time I'm there.Dr. Saami has completely helped clear up my acne and melasma and boosted my confidence so much.

I have been going to Dr. Saami for years now, and wouldn't trust anyone else with my face. My botox has always come out looking natural and everyone is shocked that I've had filler. He does an incredible job enhancing your feature for a natural, not overfilled look. Additionally, I recently started using their recommended skincare products. They feel amazing! Overall, ten out of ten would recommend Dr. Saami and SOM Aesthetics. read more

Dr. Saami is truly the best in the game! I went to SOM Aesthetics in Encinitas for filler, laser, and Botox--and I'm beyond happy with the results. Dr. Saami has an incredible eye for detail and makes you feel completely at ease.

I'm a fainter and I really hate needles but Dr. saami not only is kind, sweet, and so patient with me because I was really scared but he is also so incredible at giving Botox!! People regularly think I'm ten years younger and I'm not mad about it! Thanks so much for the beautiful maintenance work on my face. I plan to stay sexy forever and age like a fine wine read more

Dr. Saami and the SOM team know what they are doing. I was nervous before my first visit, worried I might come out looking like someone else entirely. But instead, I left feeling more like myself and the results speak for themselves. They really listened and took the time to understand my goals. They were not pushy and helped me decide on the right treatment for me. Highly recommend them for botox. But really any treatment. read more

Laura , is the absolute best ! I don't trust anyone else with my face besides Laura , she's so well educated and knowledgeable on All things aesthetics. To top it off SOM is one of the most beautiful offices I've ever seen . read more

I LOVE Dr. Saami! As a dermatologist, I am very picky about who I trust with my aesthetic procedures. I have gotten laser treatments, botox, and filler all with Dr. Saami and couldn't be more pleased with my results. Dr. Saami is extremely knowledgable, especially with skin of color and knew how to treat my Asian skin and facial features. Thank you Dr. Saami and SOM aesthetics team. read more

I have gone to cosmetic dermatologists all over the world and I have truly not had a better experience or better results than I had at SOM Aesthetics. I have never met anyone with a better eye for beauty and skill level than Dr. Saami. The botox he gave me was seriously perfection. I am so excited to go back for more treatments. He was so careful and considerate and spent so much time with me analyzing every detail. He is such a perfectionist. I'm so happy and I can't stop telling everyone about my experience there. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! read more

I cannot say enough great things about SOM!! The experience here was amazing from start to finish! Starting with the location being in beautiful Encinitas. The office is beautiful on the outside and gorgeous on the inside as well. The office staff is amazing. They are very kind and caring! They never make you feel rushed!! They also do not come off as snobby like some office staff do in other aesthetics offices. They don't try to up-sale you. They have the newest and greatest technology! Everything is state of the art! I saw Laura for lip filler. I am so incredibly happy with my lips!! I barely described to her what look I wanted and she nailed it perfectly!!! She is the BEST!!!!! I will definitely be back!! The whole process was almost completely pain free!! They are healing beautifully! I had no bruising whatsoever! Her work is flawless. She is very knowledgeable and she is the sweetest! I can't wait for my next appointment! read more
