Start with an assessment
Describe triggers, sensitivity and skin-care products that cause discomfort. Ask whether the clinician recommends medical care, a device procedure or both, and how a proposed laser fits the assessment.
Bring useful information
Note when you first noticed the change and what you have already tried. Bring dates and product names for previous procedures where available. Explain your priorities and the time you have for recovery.
Options to discuss
Questions before deciding
What cause has the doctor identified? Which part will the proposed procedure address? What improvement is realistic, what are the risks and what does the full plan cost? Ask how the response will be reviewed.
