Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Richard Castellano

Sourced directly from Dr. Richard Castellano's social posts and replies.

Is a consultation required before treatment?
Yes, a consultation is required to discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Source โ†’
What is the typical healing process like after procedures?
Healing is a gradual process that can take several months, with scars continuing to fade and results improving over time.
Source โ†’
Are the results shown typical and guaranteed?
Results shown are typical but not guaranteed and may vary for each individual patient.
Source โ†’
How does a facelift work?
A facelift both repositions the face and tightens the skin, often involving the removal of excess skin and tightening deeper support layers. The extent and location of these actions depend on the individual patient's needs.
Source โ†’
What is the recovery timeline for CO2 laser treatment?
For most patients, the first week is the most noticeable part of recovery. During the first few days, the skin can appear messy due to ointment and the healing process. By around one week, many patients' skin is still pink, and by two weeks, that redness is often easier to cover with tinted sunscreen or makeup. Some patients fade faster, while others, especially those who naturally have red or pink undertones, may stay pink for several weeks. Final healing can continue for approximately three months. The biggest thing to remember is that everyone heals differently, so recovery should be judged individually rather than by one exact timeline.

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician โ€” 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.

No industry payments reported. We checked Dr. Richard Castellano against the CMS Open Payments database and found no payments from drug or device makers on record.
