All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Deductibles are a specific amount you must accumulate and pay each year of covered health services before benefits are provided by your carrier. Plans may also have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services. Copayments are a set fee the member pays to providers at the time services are provided. Copays are applied to office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, etc. Coinsurance is a form of cost sharing. After your deductible has been met, plan will begin paying a percentage of your bills. The remaining amount, known as co-insurance, is the portion due by the patient.

TREATMENT WILL NOT BE PERFORMED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
*All illnesses should have resolved at least 3 weeks prior to the treatment date. Please call the office immediately to reschedule your treatment if this applies to you.
**If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us 24 business hours notice to avoid any late cancellation fees.
NEW CHANGES:
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT:
**Regarding filler and the COVID-19 vaccine: There have been 3 cases of transient facial swelling in over 15,000 participants in the Moderna trial in patients who have also had facial filler procedures, ranging from 2 weeks to 6 months before receiving the vaccine. All cases fully resolved with no sequelae or issues, however, they can also be treated with antihistamines, steroids or antibiotics if necessary. The recommendation from all professional medical societies is currently to receive the vaccine despite filler treatments given this small nuisance does not compare with the potential life saving intervention of the vaccine.
In general, we know that any situation that creates inflammation or an upregulated immune system (such as allergies, flu shots or other vaccines, dental work, active infections or rashes of any kind) can cause the immune system to react against fillers, resulting in swelling or delayed onset bumps. Although this is unlikely/relatively rare, it is not unheard of. This is why we counsel on these potential risks and try to control the timing of the procedure to the best of our abilities. We have always reviewed and asked about recent vaccinations long before the COVID vaccine (as you might recall from your consult, in the consent you signed or the pre-op information that was given to you) and specifically request scheduling your filler appointment at least 3 weeks before or 3 weeks after a vaccination. The recent information in the news is reflective of this risk of inflammation. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

One of our signature treatments, Dermapeel is a dual-action treatment that results in perfect, glowing skin. The treatment instantly provides smoother, more radiant skin by using chemical and physical exfoliation. Due to using two types of exfoliation, certain precautions should be taken to prepare for your treatment.
After receiving Mohs surgery, your provider will discuss how to treat the wound left by removing cancerous skin cells. Some wounds can be left to heal on their own, while others may need special care. Most areas can be closed with stitches or using a skin flap to cover the wound. However, in some instances, where the removal area is large, reconstructive surgery may be required.
Knowing how to care for the wound after receiving Mohs surgery can improve your results. If you experience swelling in the area, apply ice for 20 minutes at a time. If bleeding occurs, apply pressure and contact your provider if it does not cease. Avoid rigorous exercise or overexertion for at least a week. Recovery after Mohs surgery usually takes four to six weeks.
PDL is used as a treatment for a variety of different conditions. However, PDL is mainly used to treat vascular conditions. The following are a few of the conditions treated by PDL:
Sclerotherapy is extremely effective at treating the appearance and cosmetic symptoms of varicose and spider veins. For some patients, results can be seen after the first treatment. However, larger, more serious varicose veins may require several treatments. If you are interested in receiving sclerotherapy, speak with your D+A provider today!
Laser treatment or cosmetic surgery may be able to revise the appearance of acne scars or eczema later in life, but why not help your child avoid them in the first place? Pediatric dermatology can help keep your child’s skin from forming these scars later on in adulthood.
By treating your child’s skin issues at a young age with pediatric dermatology, they can enjoy a stronger skin barrier in their elderly years too. Plus, you can help them avoid the self-consciousness and anxiety that can result from acne and other issues. By treating these issues early, you are setting them up for a lifetime of being comfortable in their own skin.
