Depending on the intensity of the laser, the preparation could be minimal or more involved.

For shallow lasers, no preparation is required.  For more potent lasers, Dr. Weintraub might start you on a series of topical skin treatments to prepare you for your procedure; often these treatments begin some weeks before your scheduled appointment, and you will also be asked to provide medical clearance from your family physician.  Dr. Weintraub will customize the treatments according to your particular skin type to maximize your result.

You will be given instructions as to how to prepare for the specific procedure you have chosen, and might be given prescriptions to be filled in advance.  For those patients who live beyond a 50-mile radius of New York City and wish to have deeper peels, Dr. Weintraub sometimes advises a two-night post-operative stay at The Mark or The Carlyle Hotel, where his patients are given a special reduced rate, and where he will visit you after your treatment.  A private nurse can also be provided.
