Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Laurel Chandler

Sourced directly from Dr. Laurel Chandler's social posts and replies.

What is a natural facelift and what results can I expect?
A natural facelift is designed to smooth and lift the lower third of the face and neck. It involves well-hidden incisions around and behind the ear, within the hairline of the temple, and sometimes under the chin depending on the neck tightening treatment. The goal is natural-looking results that do not appear overdone or too tight.

What is Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) and what are its benefits?
Microneedling, also known as 'collagen induction therapy,' is a minimally invasive, safe, and low-cost method for skin rejuvenation. It works by breaking down scar tissue with fine needles to stimulate healing and trigger new collagen production without disrupting the superficial skin layer. It's useful for treating post-acne scarring, deep and superficial wrinkles, poor skin texture, 'crepy' skin, large pores, blackheads, and skin congestion, also providing a skin tightening effect. The procedure is performed with topical anesthesia and/or local nerve blocks for comfort. Patients typically notice improved skin texture and tightening within 1-2 weeks, with continued improvement in lines and irregularities over several months as new skin cells surface, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin.

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)

$402

Payments

4

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Laurel Chandler received $402 across 4 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 Inari Medical, 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?”
