How to Choose a Doctor for Aging Skin Treatment

There are a multitude of treatments available to improve aging and sun damaged skin. The key is to seek treatment with a skilled, experienced physician with specialized knowledge of the skin. In addition, going to a physician with multiple treatment options will also help by opening you up to a wider array of choices.

Here are some questions to consider prior to treatment:

  1. Are you a board-certified physician?
  2. Is there a board-certified physician of any kind in the office?
  3. Do you have the ability to use lasers as well as injectables?
  4. Are you going to be able to advise me on what topical regiment I should use following treatment? (Sunscreen is a must)
  5. How much experience do you have at performing this treatment?
  6. Are there alternative treatments which may be more effective for my skin?
  7. What's your medical specialty? (Dermatology, Family Medicine, etc.)
  8. Do you have any references? Before and After photos?
