The read

Karyn Grossman, among the first female physicians trained in laser technology, has directed this Santa Monica practice since 1995 and racked up more than 138,000 patient treatments. A 4.9 rating across 125 reviews is the strongest rating-and-volume combination in the Los Angeles set, though the stack, CO2 resurfacing, Morpheus8, Thermage, leans more toward texture and laxity than a dedicated pigment platform.
