Reviews for Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach, CA

I have been coming to ZO Skin Center for well over 10+ years and they have literally changed my life, my confidence, and my skin.Ninka has been my esthetician and I will NOT allow anyone else touch my face/skin. I drive about 5 hours round trip every couple months just to come in and see her for a treatment. She has done facial and back facials for me. I was having some issues with some irritated skin on my back and saw a local dermatologist who put me on prescription washes and creams and it never got better. Saw Ninka once with a back facial and it cleared up immediately. Was 90% better before I even got home. Her facials are one of the most relaxing experiences I have ever had. I walk out of there feeling refreshed, skin clean, and glowing. I see and feel results immediately and they last for weeks. The Obagi Serums are able to work that much better with more results after Ninka’s facials.I get compliments about my skin often, even from other doctors. I do not get anything done, such as botox either and I am 42yrs old. I have tried other estheticians more local to me and other skin lines and will NEVER again use anything else on my skin. She is 100000% worth the time, the drive, and energy fighting traffic. She is very thorough, takes her time,  listens to you and your needs. She takes the time to look over your skin and suggest the best treatments. I cannot rave enough about her and if you do not see her, you’re doing a disservice to yourself coupled with the Obagi products. You for sure will be pleased with the results.Also, Dr. Mowlds is wonderful. He is not aggressive with pushing procedures and takes the time to make sure your individual skin needs are met. The ladies in the front are very kind and sweet as well, especially Holly who always takes care of orders, appointments, responds to messages immediately, and is very knowledgeable with the products. Again, I drive very far, but will NOT allow anyone else to touch y face/skin. Thank you to Ninka, Dr. Mowlds, Holly and the rest of the staff for always making my experience a pleasant one and making me feel more confident in my skin! 10 stars if that was an option! =) More

I came here for a consultation for my pigmentation with Dr. Mowlds. I was not optimistic considering I have been to many dermatologists and aestheticians to try and get rid of my dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I was interested in Clear and Brilliant so that is what I came in for the consultation. The front receptionist was very pleasant on the phone and nice in person as well. When I came in to the office I explained all of my recent visits and creams, etc. and how I wanted laser treatment to eliminate the hyperpigmentation around my eyes and face. Dr. M looked at me and told me everything I did not want to here. He told me there was no quick fix and that I should try retin-a and other brightening creams for 4-6 weeks before trying any laser treatments. He also told me that Clear and Brilliant would only provide me temporary results and he did not want to take my money when the spots just return. I appreciated the fact that he was honest and did not just try to sell me a laser package to provide quick results when I was not a real candidate. He suggested I purchase a few creams and a skincare regimen and even then, I asked him what was the most important step and he told me 1-2 items out of the 6. I gladly paid the consultation fee and purchased the 2 items that were "critical" and booked my 6 week follow up. I really appreciated and respected Dr. M and although I didn't hear what I wanted to and was not ultimately able to get the laser treatments, I'm hopeful I can start my retinol and brightening plan to get rid of the spots from deep within my skin. Ps- park near Whole Foods and Barnes & Noble for fast access into the right level straight into the spa. More
