Laser Resurfacing

Discussing it through

During the consultation, your doctor will advise you on the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. He will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, as well as the costs involved.

He will take a complete medical history and will examine your face, both the skin and underlying bone. He will then give you specific instructions to follow, such as instructions for pre-treating your skin before the operation.

You must advise your surgeon if

• Have any allergies (to foods, drugs, environmental elements)
• Have been exposed to significant amounts of radiation
• Have a history of unusual scarring, or
• Have had cold sores around the mouth (like herpes or shingles)
• Have had previous facial surgery
• Smoke; take any drugs or medications, including aspirin.
