Ocean Cosmetic Medicine

Dr Szeftel is phenomenal! I’ve had two appointments with him so far and each time I’ve left feeling confident and excited about the future of my skin. He’s incredibly well educated and you can tell he is passionate about his work, and will go the extra mile because of it. Kristy was so sweet too and so skilled that she trains other doctors on procedures. I’ve been wanting to find the best of the best and I’ve found it!

Kristy Charlier is my go to specialist, she is the best artistic esthetic practitioner I have ever met. Kristy helped my wife and I with Botox and filler to create a younger looking appearance. She made us feel comfortable and made helpful suggestions. We love the results and will definitely be coming back.

Kristy Charlier is truly the best!! We met years ago at Skin by Lovely and I’ve stalked her down and around the globe ever since. She is a true artist and master of her craft. I’m always looking forward to my appointments. There’s no one else I’d trust with my face!! xx

Dr.S is literally the best at botox that I have ever been too! The entire office staff is so sweet and accommodating, the office is lovely with beautiful ocean views! But back to Dr. S, he really knows the face and muscles and in reducing the amounts previous doctors gave me he made me look so so much better and it lasts a long time too! I'm excited to try the Morpheus treatment next! Trust me, this is where you want to get your anti-aging work done! He has the best equipment as well!

I've had various treatments with Kristy and have always been very happy. She is an amazing medical aesthetician and I trust her completely with my skin. Whether it's lasers or peels, I always end up looking considerably better than when I walked in their door. Kristy spends a good deal of time and is very skilled and knowledgeable. Dr. Szeftel and the entire staff are wonderful. I love this place and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to look and feel better about their exterior.

Cheers to RN Kristy Charlier who recently returned to the US from Australia! Kristy is my trusted practitioner - simply the best - a highly skilled perfectionist who merges medical science with artistry. She is a master injector for fillers, botox, & PRP - and also excels at micro-needling, among other treatments. One treatment I highly recommend with Kristy is HALO, the latest laser technology that treats above and below the surface of the skin. It has relatively little down-time and once healed, creates a "Glow" for months. I have had more people - usually complete strangers - comment on the quality of my skin since HALO which has delivered long-lasting results (my HALO treatment was before Thanksgiving 2021). Kristy has a lovely patient-client 'bedside manner,' always gentle and caring, and provides meaningful consultations and customized treatment plans.

Another wonderful practitioner is Asia Golidy. Asia is a qualified medical technician highly skilled with Contoura Body Fix and Forma Plus. Body Fix is a radio frequency FAT DESTROYER, while Forma Plus is a skin tightening application. The combination of these treatments can reduce inches on the waist, thighs, and other areas of hard-to-lose fat. (Better and more lasting than Cool Touch or Fat Freeze techniques.) Asia is a lovely person who will meticulously help you reach your end-goal, especially important in California with its year round body-ready climate.

Last but not least, for those looking for a terrific aesthetician, please book with Lily Eichert. She offers many wonderful treatments that will boost your skin's hydration and appearance - especially great before a wedding or other special event. If you have combination skin - no problem! Her extensive knowledge and wisdom about skin treatments and products is invaluable!

In closing, I must also praise Dr. Alan Szeftel, who is extremely knowledgeable and caring! He continues to be hands-on and has a robust practice, but must be credited with bringing together this wonderful team of extraordinary women practitioners.

I have the best experience every time I go to Ocean Cosmetic Medicine. Kristy wields the laser with skill and expertise. I always feel so good when I leave and that it was money well spent. Also, they validate parking, which is a huge bonus.

They are extremely professional and always are on top of the latest trends with their treatments.

I highly recommend their services.

I've been getting treatments at Ocean Cosmetic for 2+ years (about every 3 months). It's time I review, since my experience has been a 5-star experience after every single visit. Dr. Sheftill and Natalie are the best!

Tried numerous other doctors but now only go to Dr. S. He knows the muscles of the face so injections are very well placed to have optimal results. He is terrific and I have been happy with his work for about 5 years.

Dr. Szeftel is an amazing, kind, caring and down-to-earth physician. These characteristics are rare in this day in age. He's patient and uses nothing but evidence-based medicine to treat a wide range of conditions. I owe him so much for getting me back to my baseline. I would drive 200 miles for an appointment because I entrust he's looking out for my best interest.

Not to mention, Kristy and their new addition, Sara, are so delightful and wonderful to work with. I'm a loyal and committed patient of Dr. Szeftel.

Thank you!

Dr. Szeftel and Kristy are wonderful. They make you feel so comfortable and I have referred friends and family to them with no hesitation. I always leave there looking and feeling great.

FANTASTIC! Best IPL treatment ever by Christie. I will not see any one else for IPL treatment. I only feel safe with her. She's a perfectionist, which is what you want from someone working on your face. A few days after each visit I start to look younger and younger. A miracle. I will keep going back!

The staff and doctors are wonderful, and really care about you and your experience there. Christine, the technician, is a master at her craft. I have had Photo facials and also tried it on my hands. It is great!!! Marsha Hunt

I have been going to Dr. Alan and Kristy for over 6 years now and I see them for routine maintenance for all kind of fun cosmetic things. The results speak for themselves as do the fact I keep going back. I am quite particular and they always accommodate my needs and exceed my expectations!

I had a consult with Dr.S today and only have good things to say. He is kind, patient and very thorough. He came highly recommended and my experience with him did not disappoint. I know I’ll be I good hands moving forward. Thank you Dr.S!

Both Dr. Szeftel and Kristy are experts in their fields. They are really focused on customer services and are very friendly. I have always felt well take care of.

Been to others, but no other business or professional has been as knowledgeable, caring and overall on-top-of-her-game as Kristy at OCM. She is straightforward and will answer any of your questions without giving you the kind of sales pressure that I've experienced with all other places I tried before finding OCM.

Excellent work! Very happy with how even my skin looks since the IPL treatment. Careful attention given to desired results and very professional in their approach with obvious skill in the procedure.

Great treatment and service here. I've only had the IPL treatment but I'm always very happy with the attention given during my appointment. The pricing is very fair as well.
