Pre-Treatment Instructions Page
 
During your first consultation at the Genesee valley Laser Centre we will discuss your particular lesion or birthmark and probable outcome of treatment. You will be shown pre-and post-laser therapy photos of similar problems. The number of treatment sessions necessary to improve or clear your lesion will be estimated.

A consent form will be filled out with the risks and benefits of laser therapy. After evaluation and discussion, you will need to sign the consent form if you decide to have laser treatment.

Medical photographs of the area to be treated will be taken before each treatment to document progress.

Sun protection is required before and after laser therapy with appropriate sunblocks. Tanning blocks some of the laser light from reaching necessary depth.

We will discuss the use of topical anesthetics, intralesional Lidocaine, or I.V. conscious sedation for your laser procedure.
