Am I a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?
What will be expected of me to get the best results?
Who will perform the laser skin resurfacing procedure?
Have they been specifically trained in this procedure?
Where and how will you perform my procedure or treatment?
How long of a recovery period can I expect?
What are the risks and possible complications associated with my procedure?
