Visiting the dermatologist
How often should I visit my dermatologist?
It depends on the purpose of your visit. If you are seeing the dermatologist for a general check-up, once a year is enough. If youre visiting for a cosmetic procedure such as Botox injections, chemical peels or laser resurfacing you should schedule an appointment every two weeks to a month after the procedure just as a follow-up. Your dermatologist will be able to tell you how many visits are necessary.
