What Does Laser Resurfacing Cost?

Many people in Australia are considering a treatment such as laser resurfacing to address fine lines and wrinkles. Of course, many people also wonder how much this type of treatment costs, so this is a question we often encounter at The Dr Lanzer Clinic. To find out how much your treatment will cost, please read the information provided by The Dr Lanzer Clinic below.

How Do I Find Out What My Laser Resurfacing Treatment Will Cost?

Since laser resurfacing is a treatment that can be executed on various areas of the body, it is evident that the cost of laser resurfacing can vary from patient to patient. To get the most accurate estimate, it is always best to book an appointment with your cosmetic surgeon and acquire an estimate directly from your clinic.

At The Dr Lanzer Clinic, prospective patients can take advantage of a free appointment; this appointment is provided to patients who are visiting The Dr Lanzer Clinic for the first time and are considering one of the treatments the clinic provides. During the initial appointment, patients can acquire their quote for laser resurfacing (as well as other treatments we provide).

Attending the free consultation at The Dr Lanzer Clinic does not mean you are obligated to go ahead with the treatment. Most patients attend the appointment to learn more about the procedure and if it is suitable for the treatment results that they wish to obtain. Once a patient has gained the information, the patient can decide whether to go ahead with the procedure or not.

What Can Influence the Cost of My Laser Resurfacing Treatment?

As we briefly mentioned already, a laser resurfacing procedure can be influenced by a number of factors. However, one of the biggest denominators is the treatment area (or treatment areas). The bigger the treatment area, the more the treatment usually costs. Patients can also consider combining various treatment areas during one procedure; this could influence the cost positively.

Certain cosmetic surgeons prefer to use a specific kind of laser for the treatment. In general, laser  resurfacing can be executed with carbon dioxide laser, Fraxel laser, and erbium laser. Naturally, the type of laser used can also influence the cost of your treatment.

Finally, surgeons can charge different fees for their services. Some of the more experienced surgeons can charge more, but this is not always the case. For example, Dr Lanzer has his own clinic; this enables him to provide better prices to his patients. However, other surgeons execute their procedures in a separate hospital; this can increase the price of certain treatments that require a hospital environment.

What Should I Do to Enhance My Recovery After Laser Resurfacing and Does It Affect Procedure Cost at The Dr Lanzer Clinic?

Dr Lanzer recommends taking good care of the skin after a laser resurfacing treatment; this can be done by following the post-procedure guidelines provided by our clinic. Here are some of the most important guidelines we provide to most patients.

One of the most important things to do during your recovery is keeping your skin moisturised. Some patients may be required to take certain medications during their recovery; this could prevent acne outbreaks for patients who are prone to them.

Most post-operative care is included in the price of your procedure. However, there are some additional procedures that can be obtained at The Dr Lanzer Clinic and that can enhance the speed in which you heal. These treatments are not included and are obtained separately. However, essential post-operative products and appointments are included. So, patients are not obligated to obtain additional procedures.
