What to Expect at Your Consultation
After checking a few dermatologists', surgeons' or skin technicians' backgrounds and credentials, you will make an appointment for a consultation. You will meet with these possibles and discuss your goals and you will disclose all information regarding your health; if you smoke, what medications or vitamins you presently take, etc
You will discuss your complaints and concerns and discuss the various results one can achieve, the amount that can improved, etc. Your doctor will explain the technique and options that may be most appropriate for you and should discuss the risks associated with chemical peel with you, as well.
You will also discuss the available anesthesia, if applicable, that will be used for your procedure. Most deeper chemical procedures are performed under either Oral Sedation or Light Sleep Sedation. However, lighter peels pay need no more than an electric fan blowing cool air on you. Either way, discuss this beforehand as many people are not aware of the risks of Anesthesia.
