If you have been thinking about improving your skin’s appearance or addressing a specific aesthetic concern, the first step is a professional cosmetic consultation. At Art of Dermatology at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jessica Krant, MD, believes every patient deserves an individualized approach: one that begins with a thorough, one-on-one consultation with a physician who is residency- and fellowship-trained in the only medical field concerned with the structure, function, and health of the skin.
What Is a Cosmetic Consultation? 
A cosmetic consultation is a dedicated appointment with a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan, which may include products or procedures. Unlike a medical dermatology visit, a cosmetic consultation focuses specifically on cosmetic concerns, from fine lines and pigmentation to skin texture, volume loss, and beyond. In New York City, where patients have access to some of the world’s most advanced cosmetic treatments, starting with the right consultation is essential to achieving safe and lasting results.

Who Is a Candidate for a Cosmetic Consultation?
Almost anyone who is curious about cosmetic dermatology is a candidate for a consultation. Whether you are exploring options for the first time or looking to refine an existing skincare or treatment routine, Dr. Krant welcomes patients of all skin types, ages, and backgrounds. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have specific skin concerns such as acne scars, sun damage, wrinkles, or uneven tone

- Are considering a cosmetic procedure and want guidance from a trusted Manhattan dermatologist
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for cosmetic improvement
What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your cosmetic consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your medical history, current skincare routine, and any previous treatments. Dr. Jessica Krant, a board-certified dermatologist, will carefully examine your skin under professional lighting and may use advanced imaging tools to assess your concerns in greater detail. She will listen to your goals, answer all of your questions honestly, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; every plan is as unique as the patient she is treating.
Results and Next Steps After Your Consultation
After your cosmetic consultation, you will leave with a clear understanding of your skin health and a concrete plan to address your concerns. There is no recovery time associated with the consultation itself; it is simply a conversation and examination designed to empower you with knowledge and options. If you choose to move forward with a treatment, Dr. Krant will guide you through every step, from preparation and procedure to aftercare and follow-up. Many patients begin to see meaningful improvements within days of starting their personalized plan.
Results vary depending on the treatments recommended, but patients consistently report increased confidence and satisfaction with their skin. Dr. Krant’s goal is not just to treat, but to educate, support, and empower every patient throughout their cosmetic journey.
