Seven Questions To Ask a Cosmetic Dermatologist1. Is the doctor on site while the lasers are in operation, and will the doctor see me either at my consultation or at my first visit for actual laser treatment?
2. Do you have an M.D. Board Certified in Dermatology on site? How many days per week? 3. How long have you been in business in this location? (Try to find a doctor who has been in business for 5 years) 4. Do you advertise on TV, radio, or print? (a discreet ad in a monthly city magazine is fine, but beware of offices or medi-spas that do a lot of advertising. Bringing in patients through advertising is very different from keeping patients happy over time through safety and results)
5. Does the person doing the lasering or treatment on me have any medical education? What is their degree or certificate of formal medical education?
6. Do I feel pressured to buy products or to book treatments at my first visit?"
7. If you are shown before and after pictures, ask, Am I likely to get a result like the one I’m seeing in the photograph?
