Consultation: |
During
your initial consultation you will discuss
with Dr. Zandi your past
and present medical conditions and current
medications. He needs to know if
you have hypertension, thyroid problems,
diabetes, or allergies to any medications.
He should also know about your past
surgeries and personal habits, such as
smoking and drinking. It is of utmost
importance to let him know if you have
taken or are currently taking Accutane
for acne or if you have a history of
cold sores. During the evaluation, Dr.
Zandi will evaluate your skin and take
preoperative photographs. You may be
shown before and after photographs.
Lab tests, x-rays or EKG may be ordered
depending on your general health. At
the conclusion of your consultation
and physical examination, fees will
be discussed with you by the doctor
and his staff.
|
| Preparation: |
| Stop
all non-prescriptive medication, diet pills,
herbs, and garlic two weeks before surgery.
|
| The
Procedure: |
Your surgeon may or
may not put you on a skin care regimen
to prepare your skin for surgery. The
procedure is performed by using specialized
types of laser which use intense beams
of light to gently remove the lesion,
tattoo or blood vessel without damaging
the surrounding healthy cells. Multiple
treatments may be required on certain
pigmented lesions. Results are generally
noticeable after the first treatment.
|
Postoperative
Care: |
Laser
treatments usually require minimal care.
You may apply an ointment such as vaseline
to the skin surface until it has healed. Showers
can be taken two days following surgery,
with care to apply ointment after. Vascular
lesions require no specific postoperative
care.
Social
activity can be resumed immediately following
treatment.
You
are encouraged to call the office if you
have any questions. |
| Fees: |
|
Laser treatment fees are customarily paid
two weeks prior to surgery to ensure the
patient is sincere in his or her motivation. The
fees include the cosmetic surgeon's fee,
the facility charge for a private and
fully accredited Bay Area cosmetic surgery
center, and the anesthesiologist or
certified nurse anesthetist's fee, if
general anesthesia is used. Also included
are any laboratory tests performed in the
office, or use of special equipment such
as a laser. Insurance plans rarely cover
laser surgery, but please feel free to
ask the office staff if you have any
questions in that regard.
We understand that the decision to undergo
laser treatment is a major one, and we are
here to address your concerns and
questions. Please call our cosmetic
surgery center in Fremont to talk to
knowledgeable staff or to set up a free
private consultation about your specific
laser surgery. Dr. Zandi is a top-rated,
board certified Bay Area cosmetic surgeon
whose laser treatment patients come from all over the
greater San Jose and San Francisco
regions.
