Electrolysis in La Jolla
Most women in San Diego take excellent care of their skin. You understand how delicate and susceptible each cell is to Orange County sun damage, Santa Ana wind dehydration, and plain old Southern California smog. You make sure to cleanse and hydrate your skin, and you probably have a skin care regimen that will keep your face looking radiant and young long after your birthday cake becomes a fire hazard. So why would you use chemicals, bleaches, waxes or other harmful hair removal products on that refined skin? Laser hair removal works wonders on large areas like your legs, back and bikini area, but for smaller regions of unwanted body or facial hair electrolysis is the time honored, effective war horse of permanent hair removal. If you're tired and frustrated by unwanted facial or body hair that blemishes your skin's beauty, it's time to schedule a consultation with Dr. Susan Stuart of La Jolla Dermatology by calling (858) 623-6333 or you can contact LaJollaSkin.com online.
With recent advances in laser technology, electrolysis started to become obsolete in the hair removal industry. The truth is, electrolysis is an excellent hair removal technology, but it requires considerable expertise and experience with the treatment. Like many lost arts, it is not the procedure but the practitioner that determines the beauty of the final result. Electrolysis is considerably effective at removing hair in hard to reach places, smaller amount of hair or hair that is resistant to laser hair removal. Electrolysis targets the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin cells virtually untouched.

Electrolysis uses a very fine needle to conduct an electric current directly into the hair follicle. The current destroys the follicle so the hair will not grow back. The precision of this method is highly effective on unwanted facial hair.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Recovery and Results
Electrolysis is still considered the safest form of hair removal on the market. You may experience some redness after your treatment but that will diminish within a day.
Electrolysis is most effective on follicles in the hair growth cycle, which means you may have to have more than one treatment to completely remove all of your unwanted hair. Once your treatment cycle is complete, the treatment area will be smooth and hairless leaving the surrounding skin silky and unharmed.
