| Experience MattersIt's very difficult for individual patients to know which anti-wrinkle treatment is going to work best for them or what is ideal in their particular case. If you're considering having wrinkle treatment — or medical skin treatments of any kind, for that matter — your first and most important step should be to consult with an experienced and highly trained doctor who has access to all the best anti-wrinkle technologies currently available. | | Access to Different TechnologiesBy seeing a physician who offers a wide array of treatment choices, you're more likely to receive the treatment that's best for your particular skin problem — and, thus, you're much more likely to end up being satisfied with the results of that treatment. This is especially true of laser and other light-based technologies. Different lasers, for example, treat different skin types and different skin problems. No one technology is the right one for everybody. But a physician or clinic who owns only one particular type of laser is going to try to steer you to that device.That's why it's so important to do your homework and seek treatment from a physician who has access to multiple lasers and other technologies. An Ongoing RelationshipThe decision to have a cosmetic procedure performed is a significant one. Changing one's appearance is a big step and can have lasting consequences. Make sure your physician has received advanced, specialized training in cosmetic dermatology and laser surgery. One of the first questions to ask is, "What's your specialty?" Find out what the focus of the physician's practice is. Does he or she treat people with your condition regularly? Is he or she up to date on the latest state-of-the-art treatments and technologies? In addition, be sure to choose a physician who is committed to helping you care for your skin as you and your skin age. Your skin's needs will change as you grow older, so you want to find a physician with whom you'll feel comfortable having a long-term medical relationship. Questions to Ask Before Receiving Treatment: - What's your specialty?
- Are you a board-certified physician? In what specialties?
- Will you or another board-certified physician be on site when a procedure is performed by an aesthetician?
- Do you own your own lasers?
- How many different types of lasers and other light-based technologies do you own?
- Which of those lasers and other treatments are safe and effective for people with my particular skin type and color?
- What are all my treatment options?
- May I have some patient references?
If you do not receive satisfactory answers to these or any other questions, seek care from a different physician or clinic. Last modified: November 27, 2009 |
