Source →
How long do breast augmentation results last?
The results of breast augmentation are long-lasting.
Source →
What is TRL Laser and what skin concerns does it treat?
TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) resurfaces skin layer by layer, lifting off sun-damaged surfaces and heating underlying skin to rebuild collagen. Over time, treated skin continues to get smoother and tighter. It is indicated for individuals struggling with skin texture, fine lines, sun damage, and those wanting to feel confident in their bare skin again.
Source →
Are serums effective for treating long-standing acne scars?
No, serums are generally not effective for fixing long-standing acne scars because the damage is located deeper than the skin's surface.
Source →
How does Profractional Laser treat acne scars and what results can be expected?
Profractional laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment channels in the skin, triggering collagen remodeling deep within scar tissue. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes smoother and more even over time, with results continuing to improve for months after treatment. It's an effective option for patients tired of covering acne scars.
Source →
What is the 'drop and fluff' process after breast augmentation?
The 'drop and fluff' process, where breast implants settle into their final position, requires time and patience. The exact timeframe depends on the individual's body and other factors.
Source →
How long should I wait after childbirth before considering a cosmetic procedure?
It's crucial to allow your body time to settle and recover after childbirth. Dr. Diaco usually recommends waiting at least 3 to 6 months, with the exact timing depending on individual recovery. This can be discussed during a consultation.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$342

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Daniel Diaco received $342 across 3 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Lumenis BE inc.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
