Laser This, Laser That. Which Laser Treatment is Right for Me?

Spoiler alert! Everyone has struggled with body insecurities to some degree. At Ava MD, we understand how hard it can be. Sometimes we don’t feel comfortable in the skin we’re in. Sometimes it can be difficult to handle cosmetic concerns on your own, but, thankfully, working with professionals to clear your skin is exciting and therapeutic! It’s no surprise that we started changing our appearances as we like (at least) 10,000 years ago.

Meanwhile, in 2018, Ava MD is here for you with world-class medical dermatology services. Our signature consultation is a relaxed, confidential conversation at the beginning of your skincare journey. We want to talk with you, get to know you, and bring you results worth celebrating. Read on to learn more about getting ready for your one-on-one laser treatment consultation!  

Preparing for your laser consultation

Before you come in for your consultation, we suggest you get comfortable with your favorite cup of tea or glass of wine and reflect on your skin journey. Think about how you’ve been feeling when you look in the mirror. What do you see? What would you like to see?

Most patients have a main concern and smaller skincare issues they’d like to address down the road–but you may not have to wait! A cluster of skincare concerns can often be treated with just one type of treatment. Make a list of your concerns by level of importance and bring it in with you to the office. Whatever your skincare wishes, your AvaMD skincare expert will know how to get you the best treatment possible!

Getting familiar with laser treatments

With the wide variety of technology available to you at Ava MD, you may wonder where to begin.

Ablative or nonablative? Carbon dioxide or erbium? Which laser is best for removing hyperpigmentation? Sagging skin? How many treatments do I need to get the results I want? How much downtime can I expect after each treatment? How much downtime can I afford?

Many patients are concerned with how their skin will react, how long their downtime will be, and whether or not there is a laser treatment to address their concerns. While we have plenty of information about laser treatments on our site, it’s our job to work with you to find the exact option that will give you the results you seek.

During our consultation we will talk over the crucial differences between the treatments we offer and create a custom laser treatment program tailored to your lifestyle. No mysteries or confusion here at Ava MD – just a clear plan and an exciting new future for your skin!

Happy Consultation Day!

When you come into our office, we’re all ears. You can speak candidly with your skincare expert about your concerns and goals. During our talk, feel free to ask any skincare questions. We will work our hardest to find you a treatment that you feel comfortable with. No surprise side effects, no unexpected downtime–just great results.
