Guidelines for laser skin resurfacing

  • This really depends why one is considering laser resurfacing. You want to make sure that your expectations are realistic and that resurfacing is appropriate for your skin care concern.
  • You want to make sure that you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, and you have had an appropriate consultation and you feel comfortable with their recommendations.
  • Additionally, if possible, you want to see before and after pictures of their work. The main thing though, is to make sure that resurfacing is appropriate.
