Laser Skin Resurfacing Information and Photos
During the consultation, your doctor will advise you on the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. He/she will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and costs.
Your doctor will begin with a complete medical history and will examine your face, both the skin and underlying bone. He/she may also take photos, give you specific instructions to follow, that may include instructions for pre-treating your skin before the operation.
Your doctor will determine if laser resurfacing or another form of skin resurfacing is right for you. This decision may depend largely on your skin type and color, since laser resurfacing can cause uneven skin tone formation on people with darker skin tones.
Be sure to tell your doctor about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements), if you have been exposed to significant amounts of radiation, if you have a history of unusual scarring, or if you have had cold sores around the mouth (like herpes or shingles). Also tell your doctor if you have had previous plastic surgery, if you smoke, or if you take any drugs or medications, including aspirin.
Take this opportunity to ask all the questions you have about the procedure, and ask to see photos of the doctors recent patients, before and after the procedure. Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references. Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision. See Questions to ask your doctor below.
