Candidacy and Safety Review
A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.
Recovery and Procedure Planning
- Ask about swelling, bruising, scar care, activity restrictions, and when to resume exercise.
- Plan around work, childcare, travel, and social events because healing timelines vary.
- Bring prior procedure history and photos if they help explain your goals.
- Call the clinic for current pricing, financing options, and whether insurance may apply for medically necessary concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you treat children?
Yes, we treat skin conditions in patients of all ages, from infants with eczema to adults with shingles.
How often should I get a skin check?
We recommend an annual full-body skin exam for most adults, or more frequently if you have a history of sun exposure or skin cancer.
Can you prescribe Accutane?
Acne medication options are reviewed only after evaluation and only when clinically appropriate. Some medications may be prescribed, coordinated with a pharmacy, administered, or provided in-office depending on clinical fit and onsite availability. Isotretinoin requires iPLEDGE REMS requirements, safety counseling, lab monitoring, and appropriate follow-up or referral.
