Having grown up in Southern California with a fair completion, I am always looking for ways to reduce the effects of overexposure to the sun. I have melasma (brown skin discoloration) and fine wrinkles on my face, neck, decollete and forearms.
For years I went to a cosmetic laser clinic in La Jolla. I had multiple treatments using different lasers (and spent a small fortune!) yet never saw improvement in skin tone or elasticity.
When I found Julianna at Rodeo Drive Cosmetic Centers in La Jolla everything changed. The results have been amazing! Plus, her prices are much lower than what I paid at the laser clinic.
Julianna offers packages that include six treatments. This is the the best deal cost-wise. It takes time to reach the maximum effect from treatment, so you'll be doubly glad if you choose her package offers.
For my skin, Julianna suggested micro-needling with PRP (platelet rich plasma). The melasma on my face, neck, decollete and forearms is close to disappearing. My skin is smoother, plumper and more elastic.
Ladies, you know how judgmental we are about our own appearance? When I look at myself in the mirror now, I smile!
I recently asked Julianna about treatment for age-related changes to my hair. She again recommended micro-needling with PRP. After two treatments, I have close to two inches of new growth and my hairline is filling in to what it was in my teens.
Also, I am super sensitive to pain. When I went to the laser center I had to arrive an hour before my appointment to achieve maximum numbing and I was still in pain during treatment. Julianna has experimented with numbing agents and now makes her own numbing cream. Within 20 minutes my skin is numb and treatment is as close to painless as is humanly possible. During treatment, Julianna describes what she's doing and what's going to happen next which also increases my comfort level.
For years I looked for face products that don't cause my skin to break out in hives. After discussing this with Julianna, she spent time researching and found multiple products to use on a daily basis that improve skin quality. She also found excellent sun protection products for me and special gloves to wear while driving.
Julianna is always, always on time. At the La Jolla laser clinic, I frequently had to wait more than an hour past my appointment time.
The Rodeo Drive Cosmetic Centers' waiting room is upscale and comfortable. When Julianna comes to get me and I see her beautiful smile I instantly feel happy and comfortable. She has a super sweet personality and is very down to earth. Julianna is highly knowledgeable, with years of experience, yet she always answers my questions with respect and kindness. It's clear Julianna cares about me and wants to see my skin improve as much as I do...possibly more!
The best advertisement for the effectiveness of her services is Julianna herself. Guess her age in your mind (no adding years because you read this!) and then ask her how old she is. Surprise!
Also ask to see her before-and-after photos. I saw pictures of a woman's progress for treatment of cellulite on her thighs. After five treatments, they look like she's in her twenties!
Once you've achieved your goal, you'll see Julianna a couple times a year for maintenance. You'll be happy continued maintenance is part of the program because it's so fun to talk with Julianna and learn about new treatments and products to help your skin continue to improve. read more
