Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
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. Burns, nerve effects and prolonged soreness can occur. 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.
