About this treatment
Care on a protocol basis does not mean everyone gets the same treatment. The method Biologique Recherche describes has three steps: assessment, preparation, application. That order is fixed; what fills it depends on the assessment.
The assessment step is a guided examination that reads the state of the skin at that moment. The brand describes it through headings such as hydration, elasticity, pigmentation and sebum, and requires a trained practitioner to carry it out.
It should be said at once that this page does not carry over the brand's claims about outcomes. What is here concerns how the protocol is built; not what comes out of it.
Method
The Biologique Recherche methodology
- The method the brand defines has three steps: assessment, preparation and application.
- The assessment step is described as a guided, tactile examination carried out by a trained practitioner; it is read through hydration, elasticity, pigmentation and sebum.
- In the preparation step the skin surface is made ready for the application with cleansing and exfoliating products.
- Which actives are used in the application step follows from the outcome of the assessment.
Who it is planned for
This treatment is planned for people who want their skin approached inside a defined protocol. Which steps the protocol takes on your skin is only settled after the assessment at the appointment; this page does not make a suitability decision on your behalf.
- If your skin tone is dark, say so at the appointment; because of the pigmentation risk, the application should be planned by someone experienced in it.
- Share the prescription skin products you use and any treatments you have had recently.
- If an irritation or a healing process is under way on your skin, tell us before the appointment.
- If you will be spending the coming days in strong sun, we need to discuss the planning around that.
After your appointment
Recommended
- Use sunscreen every day once healing is complete.
- Get by with plain products in the first days.
- Note any colour changes you notice and share them at the next appointment.
- Plan the return to your routine according to what you were told at the appointment.
To avoid
- Do not go out in the sun and do not use a sunbed while healing is under way.
- Do not use an exfoliating product in the first days.
- Do not plan another skin application before your skin has recovered.
- Do not try to cover persisting redness with make-up.
When to contact us: If redness, colour change or discomfort lasts longer than you expected, call us. If you see flaking or cracking on the skin, do not try a product on your own; consult us first, and if necessary we refer you to a doctor.
What to be aware of
- Redness can appear on the skin after skin applications involving exfoliation, and that redness can persist for a while.
- Temporary colour changes, as darkening or as lightening, can appear on the skin after the application.
- On dark skin tones, having the application carried out by someone experienced in it is recommended, to lower the risk of lasting pigment change.
- Sun and sunbeds are to be avoided while healing is under way, and once healing is complete, sunscreen is to be used every day.
At a glance
- The application follows the step order of a defined and published brand methodology.
- The appointment opens with a skin assessment before anything is applied; the steps are chosen from it.
- The preparation step is treated as a part of the protocol in its own right, not as a detail attached to the application.
- Because the assessment is repeated at every appointment, two appointments can select different steps.
- If something outside the protocol's scope appears, a referral takes the place of an application.
How the appointment runs
- AssessmentThe appointment opens with a guided assessment reading the state of the skin that day. Which steps the application will run through is settled here.
- PreparationThe skin surface is cleansed according to the protocol's own preparation step and made ready for the application.
- ApplicationThe steps settled at the assessment are carried out in order. Why a given step was chosen is explained as it happens, if you want it.
- Describing what followsWhat to watch for in the days after the application is explained, above all under the heading of sun protection.
- ReassessmentAt the next appointment the assessment is done from scratch; the steps of the previous appointment are not repeated automatically.
Before your appointment
Recommended
- Share your skin tone and any colour changes you have had before at the appointment.
- Bring the names of the prescription products you use.
- Keep sun protection in your routine in the days before the appointment.
- Note down the skin treatments you have had recently and their dates.
To avoid
- Do not tan before the appointment; do not use a sunbed.
- Do not peel at home in the days before the appointment.
- Do not start a new active product on the day of the appointment.
- If an irritation is under way on your skin, consult us before coming to the appointment.
Session plan
The gap between appointments gives what the protocol's preparation step leaves on the skin time to pass. And because the assessment is done from scratch at every appointment, that gap is also what allows a new state to form that is worth assessing.
The Fatma Süha approach
When working with a protocol, our job is not to run it from memory but to take the assessment seriously. Cut the assessment short and all that is left is a list of procedures.
At the first appointment the plan comes out of that day's reading of the skin. If the same reading comes out differently at the second, the steps change too; that is not a shortcoming of the protocol but the way it works.
We do not pass the brand's account of outcomes on to you. What we can describe is how the application is built; not what you will get from it.
When we see something that does not fall inside the protocol's scope, we do not carry out the application; we tell you where to go instead.
Good to know
What does "protocol-based" mean?
If there is a protocol, is everyone given the same thing?
No. What is fixed is the order of the steps: assessment, preparation, application. Which choices are made inside that order depends on the assessment.
So a protocol is not a recipe but a working order. Two different applications can come out of the same order for two people.
What happens in the assessment step?
What can be understood by looking at my skin?
The brand describes this step as a guided, tactile examination; it is read through hydration, elasticity, pigmentation and sebum.
It is not a diagnosis. It is a reading made in order to decide which steps the application will run through.
Why does preparation count as its own step?
Isn't cleansing part of the application anyway?
In the brand's methodology preparation is a step in itself. The skin surface is made ready for the application with cleansing and exfoliating products.
That step also explains why the care afterwards matters: after an application involving exfoliation, the skin has to be protected from the sun.
Why is skin tone asked about?
If my skin tone is dark, is something different needed?
In applications involving exfoliation there is a risk of lasting pigment change on dark skin tones. That is why planning by someone experienced in it is recommended.
Our asking at the appointment is not there to refuse the application; it is there so the planning is done right.
How do sun and season affect the planning?
Can I have it done in the summer months?
Sun and sunbeds are to be avoided while healing is under way; once healing is complete, daily sunscreen is recommended.
So if you have a stretch under strong sun ahead of you, we discuss the timing of the appointment together.
What the brand says and what this page says
Can I expect the results written on the brand's website here too?
This page does not carry over the brand's statements of outcome or superiority. The only thing we take from the source is how the method is built.
We do that deliberately: what a brand says about its own text is not evidence for the promise a salon using that brand could make.
How does it differ from classic care?
Why should I choose care on a protocol basis?
The difference is in where the steps come from. In classic care the steps are ordered by the situation that day; here the order of a defined methodology is followed.
Which of them suits you is not something this page can say. We can talk about both at the appointment.
Frequently asked questions
- How is it decided that the protocol can be applied on my skin?
- The decision is made together, after the assessment at the appointment. This page does not make a suitability decision on your behalf.
- Are the same steps applied at every appointment?
- No. The assessment is done from scratch at every appointment, and the steps are chosen from it.
- Will there be redness after the application?
- Redness can appear after applications involving exfoliation and can persist for a while. If it lasts longer than you expected, call us.
- Do I have to use sunscreen afterwards?
- Yes. Avoiding the sun while healing is under way is recommended, and using sunscreen every day after that.
- My skin tone is dark, what should I do?
- Do say so at the appointment. Planning by someone experienced in it is recommended, to lower the risk of lasting colour change.
- Can I expect the results the brand describes?
- This page does not carry over the brand's claims about outcomes. What we can describe is how the application is built.
- Is it risky to have the protocol applied before an event?
- Tell us the date in advance. Because redness and colour change can appear after the application, we plan the timing together.
- I use a prescription skin product, do I need to say so?
- Yes. Sharing the products you use and the treatments you have had recently bears directly on the planning.
- Can we plan from the start how many appointments the protocol will take?
- No. Because the assessment is renewed at every appointment, the decision to continue is made anew at every appointment too.
