Cosmetic laser treatments are often surprisingly affordable, making them a terrific first procedure for patients new to aesthetic medicine. And yet, their complementary nature makes them a natural option for improving skin irregularities that may develop following a surgical procedure, such as a facelift, neck lift or brow lift. Many experienced cosmetic patients choose these laser treatments as an excellent way to maximize the results of their surgical treatments, or as a way to fill the gap between procedures.

Even though these laser treatments are often viewed as a “lighter” option to traditional cosmetic procedures, they must still be performed in the office of a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon for the best results. In the hands of an experienced and board-certified expert, these technologies can work wonders, but when used by someone without the proper qualifications the results can be dangerous and damaging.

Things to Keep in Mind When Pricing Fractional Laser Treatment in Scottsdale/Phoenix

Different types of fractional laser treatment will require different fee structures, as varying procedures take different amounts of time, materials and equipment. In general, the larger the treatment area, the greater the expense. There is also often a direct correlation between the intensity of the therapy and the cost of the treatment, though this varies based on the unique patient situation.

Depending on the intensity of the procedure, anesthesia may be required, which will also contribute to the overall cost of the treatment. This anesthetic may be applied locally or systemically depending on the specific procedure and patient preference. In these cases, it may be necessary for the procedure to be performed in a different setting.

Choosing an Experienced Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale/Phoenix

One of the most important factors in the price of any fractional laser treatment is the use of an experienced and accredited cosmetic surgeon. Though many people have had successful treatments with under-qualified providers, the higher likelihood of complications makes this a risky decision. Listening to past patients tell their stories can be an excellent way to get a handle on the costs and value of choosing a particular cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Henderson has had several such patients who are eager to share their experiences with others, and have agreed to do so on the Testimonies page.

Though trained in cosmetic procedures of the entire body, Dr. Henderson has decided to focus solely on procedures of the head and neck, allowing her to give her patients extensive experience with every procedure she offers.
