Electrolysis at La Jolla Dermatology
Every electrolysis procedure is tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Because electrolysis treats one follicle at a time, treatment time will be based on the amount of hair removal necessary to achieve your desired result.
Your procedure will begin with a cleansing of the treatment area. A topical anesthetic may be used to help reduce any possible discomfort from the procedure. 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.
More than one treatment might be necessary to achieve your desired hair removal results. Dr. Stuart will discuss all of your treatment options, how electrolysis will work for you and your hair removal regimen in detail during your consultation.
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 should 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.
