I am 100% satisfied with her microneedling, subcision, CO2 laser, and accutane treatments. Her own line of products is also really good. Even now I have moved away from LA for school, I still ask to have her products sent to me and continue using them. Dr. K is so knowledgeable, kind, and beautiful that I am very lucky to have her as my dermatologist.
The results are amazing - I cannot recommend this doctor more I came to Dr. Kiripolsky for my first-ever “baby” Botox treatment, and the results are amazing. I cannot recommend this doctor more, and I encourage ANYONE wanting cosmetic procedures to see Dr. K.
First of all, I was moved by how nice the office was: clean, chic, bright, and welcoming. The office staff whisked me right in, and I was able to speak with Dr. K personally for a long time. Most dermatologists spend less than 10 minutes with their patients, but with Dr. K, I was able to really get to know her during the time we shared for the appointment.
As this was my first Botox appointment, I was rather nervous. I knew I had some premature wrinkling on my forehead and wanted a "prejuvenation" just to ensure that the wrinkles don't exacerbate when I'm older. She walked me through every step - what it does, how long it lasts, the amount, and where she was going to inject. Dr. Kiripolsky was gentle and calm, which made a huge difference during the procedure. The time it took to inject was less than 2 minutes. She was swift, knew exactly what she was doing and where to go.
And let me tell you - I am hooked. The results set in in less than 4 days, and it was exactly what I wanted. NO wrinkles — NONE!!! And I'm not frozen either. I still have natural movement without wrinkling and feel more confident than ever. I will ONLY be seeing Dr. Kiripolsky for any dermatological procedures from now on!!
Amazing transformation - my skin looks more even and radiant Microneedling
2 months post-op
I had the most incredible experience with Dr. Kiripolsky, and I can't express how thrilled I am with the results of my microneedling treatment. Dr. Kiripolsky is nothing short of exceptional. Not only did she provide outstanding medical care, but she also displayed kindness and empathy throughout the entire process.
One of the primary concerns I had was my acne scarring. After undergoing a series of microneedling sessions under Dr. Kiripolsky's expert guidance, I am genuinely amazed at the transformation. My acne scars are NO LONGER VISIBLE, and my skin looks more even and radiant. The microneedling treatment also did wonders in terms of skin tightening. I can confidently say that my skin feels firmer and more youthful than ever before.
In addition to these remarkable improvements, my pores have noticeably shrunk, and my complexion has a smoother, refined texture. This treatment has given me the confidence to face the world with a fresh, rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Kiripolsky's attention to detail and her warm, caring demeanor were truly comforting. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and ensure I felt at ease every step of the way.
Having had such a positive experience, I can wholeheartedly say that I would entrust Dr. Kiripolsky with any future dermatological procedures. She has not only transformed my skin but has also instilled trust and confidence in her abilities as a dermatologist. I'm extremely grateful for her exceptional care, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional and compassionate dermatological treatment. Dr. Kiripolsky is, without a doubt, the one to choose for a remarkable and life-changing skincare journey.
Response from Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, MD Thank you for sharing your story!! I am so glad you received the care and time you needed to look and feel your best. We can't wait to see you back in the clinic soon!
Office review - took 10 years off my face Dermal Fillers
2 days post-op
Over the years I have worked with different providers for numerous facial procedures. A friend of mine recommended I go meet with Dr. Kiripolsky for a few concerns I had, which no one else could seem to help. From the moment I walked into her office I was impressed. Her staff is amazing and Dr. Kiripolsky was so sweet, knowledgeable and beyond skilled. Within minutes of her looking at my concerns she had a game plan. Not one other Dr. I met with did what she suggested. She took 10 years off my face, completely updated my jawline, and addressed 2 very deep 11 lines that no one could fix. I am now a patient for life!! I highly recommend this outstanding Doctor!!
Cannot recommend her enough - she is terrific at what she does Laser Scar Removal
13 days post-op
I've gone to Dr. Kiripolsky for a couple different procedures and I cannot recommend her enough. As a preliminary matter, the level of service and care is so incredibly high. One time I had a bit of a reaction to some sanitizing product during a procedure and she actually called me in the evening to check in on me and make sure I was doing ok. She also stressed that I should not hesitate to contact her at any time if I had any concerns or issues (which I have taken her up on). I don't think I've ever had a doctor have that level of personal follow-up. Whether I've reached out to her in the evening or very early in the morning, she always takes the time to allay my concerns.
I also love how easy she is to talk to and ask questions. She doesn't make you feel dumb for asking (what I'm sure are) silly/easy questions and really takes the time to make sure you understand what's going to happen, what's in the products she's recommending, and what timelines look like.
Moreover, I think because she has her own office with a small but really dedicated staff, it's really great being able to reach out any time and not have to go through hoops (or some convoluted phone tree) to talk to someone. The office is also really responsive which is helpful.
At bottom, I've recommended her to several friends and colleagues and have no hesitation in doing so. Dr. Kiripolsky is terrific at what she does.

Office review - Totally transformed my skin! Scar Removal
4 days post-op
Dr. Kiripolsky is amazing!
I have been seeing Dr K for five years now for a variety of skin concerns (acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation) and she has totally transformed my skin! Not only is Dr K an incredibly talented dermo, she also goes above and beyond for all of her patients, making herself available after hours, and is always willing to address their concerns. She and her staff make every person that walks into her (very chic and fabulous) office feel like family.
I am so grateful to Dr K for everything she has done for me and my skin!
Response from Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, MD I'm delighted that you received the care you needed! My goal is to always make my patients feel like family, so they can confidently express their personal skincare needs. I understand the significance of healthy and vibrant skin in helping you look and feel your best. Ensuring a safe, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere is one of my top priorities for my patients. Thank you again for your kind words! We look forward to seeing you back again soon!
She’s the best & helped me when I had terrible acne flare-up I have been seeing Dr. Kiripolsky for years. She’s amazing. She’s an artist. And she cares. She helped me when I had terrible acne flare up and she’s done filler, Botox and laser on me. Make an appointment- you’ll look younger and better!
Response from Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, MD Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We are looking forward to seeing you back in clinic soon :)
Amazing Experience - I can look in the mirror and see a youthful reflection of myself again Thank you Dr Monika Kiripolsky for turning back the clock. Your gentle hands performed a PDO Thread procedure on me one week ago and the results are amazing! I can look in the mirror and see a youthful reflection of myself again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Response from Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, MD Your enthusiasm for the results is wonderful to hear! Thread lifts truly are exceptional for rejuvenating your face, enhancing natural collagen and elastin, and turning back the clock effectively. Should you ever need assistance with anything else, please feel free to reach out. Thank you again for your kind words and for entrusting us with your dermatological care!
I’d give her 6 stars if I could! Cheek Fillers
8 days post-op
I’m a man who just turned 50 and had concerns about my face starting to really show its age so I went to Dr Kiripolsky to discuss options. As a man working in corporate America, I was really concerned about looking overdone.
Her bedside manner was spectacular and immediately made me feel at ease. I could tell she was really listening to me which hasn’t always been the case with drs in the past. She worked with me to come up with a plan that fit my budget as well as my expectations.
I thought I needed under-eye filler but Dr. K evaluated my face and I actually needed volume replaced to the middle portion or my face and jawline. . . NOT my under eyes. Once she corrected those the hollowing of my cheeks and sharpened my jawline, the bags under my eyes were gone.
Additionally she used something similar to Botox (don’t remember the name but she said it was similar to Botox but with less preservatives) for my crows feet and forehead wrinkles. She also put some into the corners of my mouth to prevent me from always looking like I’m frowning.
Looking forward to seeing Dr. K again in a few weeks for the next step in my plan which is a laser to treat the red blotches on my cheeks and another laser treatment for some acne scaring on my forehead and cheeks (I’ve had this for YEARS and have been so self-conscious about it). I’ll try to share my results when we finish the treatments.
My results have been remarkable and my concerns of possibly looking fake or overdone were squashed. If you are looking for the best cosmetic dermatologist in town she’s amazing! I joked with her that she is the filler queen!
Response from Dr. Monika Kiripolsky, MD Thank you so much for your review! It truly warms my heart to know that you felt comfortable and at ease throughout your journey with our practice. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and I'm delighted that our tailored approach has led to such natural and transformative results. Your kind words mean the world to me, and I can't wait to see how your skin continues to flourish in the future!
Needle whisperer! Sharp, gentle and very caring Amazing! Gorgeous inside and out. Incredibly calm, sharp, and caring. I cannot express in words how helpful Dr. Kiripolski has been with both cosmetic procedures and serious medical issues. I recently had surgery and had an extremely painful rash afterwards on my back. Despite two first class surgeons missing this diagnosis, Dr. Kiripolski immediately diagnosed me with shingles and called me in an antiviral. For cosmetic procedures, she has a laser focus and a very magical hand. A true needle whisperer! I had no bruising, and no pain, and now no wrinkles. I trust her explicitly!
