Cosmetic Consultations


Advanced Dermatology Cosmetic Consultants in Chicago

Cosmetic dermatology, laser services and healthy skincare are the most effective ways to enhance your natural beauty and to prevent further skin damage. Advanced Dermatology offers consultations for all cosmetic and laser procedures and skincare offered at our office and specialty skincare boutique, Skinfo®. A consultation includes a complete evaluation of your skin history, depicting your skin care concerns and goals, and a treatment and skincare regimen based on those areas evaluated. The treatment and skincare options will be described in-depth to you by one of our Chicago cosmetic consultants so that you understand all of the necessary information for beginning the recommended regimen. This information includes, but is not limited to, description of the treatment, pre- and post- treatment protocols, risks and side effects, costs, and before and after examples. The consultation is designed to provide you with all of the information necessary for you to feel most comfortable in receiving the benefits of these treatments and skincare programs. If an area of concern is not treatable with the technology and therapies available at Advanced Dermatology, we will refer you to a qualified professional in that field.

To provide your 1 and a half hour consultation, we have on staff Cosmetic Coordinator Jennifer Stein with assistance from our Physician Assistant Emily Oehler, PA-C, and our Dermatologists, Dr. Cara Garretson and  Dr. Amy Forman Taub.

There is a $75 fee for a consultation (exceptions will be consults limited to hair removal, leg vein removal, and VelaShape™). In addition, initiation of BOTOX® Cosmetic and Injectable Fillers alone does not necessitate a full consultation. This fee covers the initial consultation, before and after photo sessions, and your follow-up consultations to evaluate the degree of improvement. Please understand that we will generally need to perform a full consultation before beginning any cosmetic treatment.
