What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about laser skin resurfacing?
Use this checklist as a guide during your laser skin resurfacing consultation:
Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Were you specifically trained in the field of plastic surgery?
Is the office-based surgical facility accredited by a nationally- or state-recognized accrediting agency, or is it state-licensed or Medicare-certified?
Am I a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?
What will be expected of me to get the best results?
Who will perform the laser skin resurfacing procedure?
Have they been specifically trained in this procedure?
Where and how will you perform my procedure or treatment?
How long of a recovery period can I expect?
What are the risks and possible complications associated with my procedure?
How can I expect to look over time?
Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for this procedure?
With time constraints and price being significant factors for busy individuals wanting to look their best and shave a few years off their appearance, med spas have become increasingly affordable and popular. Med spa is a general term for a facility specializing in aesthetic, nonsurgical treatments.
