Q. If I get a chemical peel, will my face look like Samanthas from that episode from Sex in the City?

A. La Jolla Spa MD offers several chemical peel options. Our mildest peels will feel like an invigorating facial and you wont actually experience any peeling or flaking. Our most dramatic peels would result in pealing layers of skin over the course of about a week.

Q. Is the Microdermabrasion that I see advertised on TV comparable to what I would pay for in your facility?

A. No, only in that it is causing some exfoliation. We offer the most advanced equipment on the market. Uneven exfoliation could result in uneven skin tone; this is better left to a professional.

Q. Is it normal to bruise after a cellulite treatment?

A. We certainly hope to avoid bruising from intense treatments although they may occur. Despite our best efforts, some patients with circulatory issues could experience isolated bruising. This result would not be common and is more isolated to specific cellulite treatments.

Q. Can you really lose up to 8 inches from just 1 Ionithermie treatment?

A. Absolutely! Although results may vary, many clients have received results that dramatic. For more optimal results, purchase a series to keep that newer svelte look.

Q. If I receive dermaplanning, will the hair grow back thicker?

A. No. In this treatment, only the upper layer of skin is affected. You will experience an exfoliation of skin and hair, making the skin visibly smooth and supple. Make up will go on smoother than ever before!
