Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about laser surgery:

1. Am I a candidate for laser surgery?
   
   
2. How long will my laser surgery session take?
   
   
3. How many sessions of laser surgery will I need?
   
   
4. Will I experience pain during the procedure? What about after?
   
   
5. How long will it take for me to heal? Will I need to miss work?
   
   
6. Will my surgery be covered by insurance?
   
   
7. What is the likelihood that growths/markings may recur after laser surgery?
   
   
8. How experienced are you in laser surgery?
   
   
9. Will I have any significant scarring or other unwanted effects from my laser surgery?
   
   
10. Will I have to avoid the sun following laser surgery? If so, for how long?
