Questions to Ask Yourself

Let’s look at some of the most common questions our U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics team gets about skincare procedures.

 

Combining Treatments

Sometimes, you don’t have to settle for just one procedure. For example, you might pair injectables with laser therapy to smooth out lines and address sun damage. 

When you combine treatments, you can often target more than one concern at once. However, it’s wise to space them properly so your skin has time to recover and benefit from each session. A trained professional, like our team at U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics, can map out a plan that matches your schedule and goals.

Choosing the Right Treatment for Your Skin

The Role of an Expert Consultation

Dr. Tag can spot the difference between a good fit and a poor match. When you meet with a board-certified physician or aesthetic specialist from our Owings Mills team, we’ll examine your skin, ask about your history, and suggest options. 

 

This might also involve:

During your consultation, don’t hold back on questions. You might ask:

 

What to Expect on Treatment Day

How should you get ready for your treatment with Dr. Tag?

Preparation

You might need to skip certain skincare products (like retinoids) a few days in advance. We will tell you exactly what to do to get ready.

Procedure

Many in-office treatments take less than an hour. You’ll settle into a comfortable chair or table. Our team will explain each step so you know what’s happening as they work on your skin.

Post-Treatment Care

Following your session, you’ll likely receive instructions such as staying away from direct sun or using gentle cleansers for a short time. If you need to return for repeat treatments—like a series of laser sessions—you’ll set those appointments.

 

Common Misconceptions

Still have questions about the best skincare option for you? Here are some common misconceptions Dr. Tag hears.

“I Only Need One Treatment to Fix Everything.”

While a single session may be enough for mild concerns, deeper issues might call for a series of visits or a combination of treatments. It’s important to have realistic expectations.

“All Treatments Hurt.”

Some options are quite gentle. Others can be more intense, but numbing creams or local anesthesia can help you stay comfortable.

“I Can Skip Sunscreen Afterward.”

Protecting your skin from sun exposure is always wise, but it’s even more crucial after a procedure. Post-treatment skin is often more sensitive, so sun protection is key.

“Cheaper Is Always Better.”

You might see bargain deals online, but remember that quality and safety count more than saving a few dollars. It’s safer to trust a licensed professional who has the right training.
