Important facts about the safety and risks of skin rejuvenation treatment

The decision to have a skin rejuvenation treatment is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with your procedure. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks and potential complications.

The risks include:

  • Infection
  • Pigmentation irregularities
  • Textural changes
  • Skin surface irregularities
  • Burns and scarring

Be sure to ask questions:It’s very important to ask your plastic surgeon questions about your procedure. It’s natural to feel some anxiety; don’t be shy about discussing these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
