Who may be considered

Safety and clinical assessment
Laser and light-based procedures can cause burns, pigment change, scarring or other effects in some people. Settings and suitability depend on skin type and the area treated. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
Aftercare
Sun protection is usually important after laser exposure. Follow the written advice given at the visit.
