Noroton Skin Log
Ask any provider what a treatment will change, and what it will cost to keep that change.
Is it serious, or is it only new? A spot, an old tattoo or a deepening crease can feel urgent the morning you notice it in Darien, and the first job is to find out which.
Is this worth paying to fix?
That depends on what it is and what a fix would change. The questions below help you size the problem first.
What does tattoo removal involve?
A dermatologic surgery society's tattoo removal overview explains the process. Carry its terms into any consultation, so you and the provider mean the same thing.
Can a dark spot or age spot fade?
The age spot guide here sets out the treatments people compare when they want a spot to fade. It leaves the choice with you.
What are fillers used for?
A dermatology academy's fillers overview answers that in plain words. Read it, then list what you hope a filler would change.
Who should answer my filler questions?
The person who would do the injecting. You can book that conversation with a Greenwich practice at seebeyondbeauty.com before you commit to anything.
How is microdermabrasion different from deeper treatments?
A dermatologic surgery society's explainer on microdermabrasion describes a session. The microdermabrasion guide here sets that session beside deeper options.
How do I get ready for a visit?
The filler and microdermabrasion guides each include a page on getting ready for the appointment. Arrive with your questions already written.
What should I ask about cost?
Two things, in plain words: what exactly will this change, and what will it cost to keep that change?
What if it turns out to be small?
Then you have learned something useful without paying for it.
A small problem deserves a small answer.
