Dr. Anna Guanche is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic procedures. She cares for all types of skin conditions with a special emphasis in the areas of cosmetic dermatology and laser surgery. She has recently been asked to join the Dermatology staff at UCLA Medical Center, Olive View, where she has agreed to volunteer her time to aid in the training of residents and medical students.

Dr. Anna Guanche was raised in Southern California, and as a young woman was drawn to performing arts and creative writing. A strict academic upbringing led her into science and medicine instead. After twelve years of rigorous training followed by preceptorships and mentorships that added to her skill and experience, Dr. Anna Guanche has found art again. She stands on a foundation of science but is now able to express herself creatively in the world of aesthetic medicine.

- Laser Hair Removal

Whether for hygienic or cosmetic reasons, the patient who is tired of temporary, often painful methods of removing unwanted hair may welcome laser and intense pulsed light hair removal with relief.

Lasers produce highly focused, intense beams of light that are absorbed by dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface and converted to heat, destroying the follicles and preventing hair growth for up to two years. Multiple treatments are required for complete hair removal -- the follicle must be "active" at the time of treatment, and not all follicles are active at the same time. Treatments are needle-free and do not require anesthesia. Most patients feel nothing more than a slight sting like the snap of a rubber band.
