About this treatment

When a service name is short, a reader tries to close the gap with a guess of their own. We do not close it with guesses. We hold no verified document describing how this service works, and we do not write a document into existence that does not exist.

Instead we describe in full what we can describe: which questions are asked at the start of the appointment, at what point the scope becomes settled, and what we do when it does not.

Settling the scope may sound like an administrative step. In practice it is the opposite: it is the single decision that determines how the rest of the appointment goes.

Method

We did not reach a protocol document that names this service. All we have for treating it as part of a brand protocol is its neighbourhood inside the category, and neighbourhood is not evidence; the section opens once a document is supplied.

Who it is planned for

This page cannot decide whether the service suits you, because the information such a decision would rest on is produced at the appointment. Coming here with an expectation is normal; whether that expectation falls inside the scope is something we look at together.

• Say in your own words what you expect from this appointment; we build the order around it.
• If you have been to a similar appointment before, describe what was done there.
• If you have an ongoing complaint about your skin, share it at the start of the appointment.
• If a doctor is following you, say so; when a topic falls outside the scope we need to know.

After your appointment

When to contact us: If an unexpected redness, a changed sensation or a discomfort appears, call us. Call as well if something we left outside the boundary in the scope conversation is worrying you; if necessary we refer you to a doctor.

What to be aware of

We did not reach a primary safety source that covers this service by name. A list borrowed from its neighbour in the category would look like verified information about this service, when what it carried would be the neighbour's.

At a glance

• The appointment starts by settling what will be discussed, not by settling what will be done.
• The scope comes out of a mutual agreement in that appointment, not out of a written list.
• If the scope is not settled by the end of the conversation, the appointment can end without anything being applied.
• The service stands in the canonical catalogue under its own name; it is not a sub-option of another service.
• How the scope is drawn is stated plainly during the appointment, not explained afterwards.

How the appointment runs

1. 1The scope conversationThe appointment opens by listening to your expectation. Nothing is applied at this stage; the only thing discussed is what is included.
2. 2AgreementWhen the scope is agreed, we repeat it out loud. If a point is left unclear, the appointment does not carry on from here.
3. 3The appointment itselfThe work proceeds inside the agreed frame. If something appears that would take it outside the frame, we stop and discuss that first.
4. 4Naming the boundaryIf a topic falls outside the scope, it is said before the appointment ends. Where you can turn is explained at the same moment.
5. 5The frame of the next appointmentIf we continue, the scope of the next appointment comes out of today's conversation. The same frame is not repeated automatically.

Before your appointment

Session plan

The gap between appointments shows whether the agreed scope was actually enough. The next appointment's scope conversation opens with your observation from that gap; so the time in between is not just waiting but the gathering of information.

The Fatma Süha approach

At Fatma Süha the riskiest moment of an appointment is not the application but the first few minutes, where the scope is left unclear. An unclear scope turns into disappointment later, and at that point nobody remembers exactly what was discussed.

So we repeat the scope out loud. We know it sounds too formal; we do not drop it anyway, because agreeing on a sentence that was spoken is far sturdier than agreeing on one that was assumed.

We also say what is left outside the scope. When we do not, the reader takes it to be included; that is a silence that looks to be in our favour and in truth wears trust away.

We do not explain what the name means. If we could, we would; because we cannot, we do not put a guess in its place.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does this service do?

We do not write that, because we hold no verified source describing it. In the scope conversation at the start of the appointment we settle together what is included.

Is a brand's protocol being applied?

This page does not make that connection. Sitting next to something in a category is not on its own evidence of a brand link; when the document arrives, the section opens.

What happens if we do not agree on the scope?

The appointment can end without anything being applied, and we explain where you can turn. We treat that as an ordinary outcome.

What do I need to bring to the appointment?

The names of the products you use and the questions you want to ask. We go through them in order in the scope conversation.

Why is there no list of things to watch out for?

We could not find a verified safety source covering this service. Rather than copy a general list, we wrote out in which case you should call us afterwards.

Will the same scope apply at every appointment?

No. The scope conversation is held again at every appointment, and your observation from the time between goes into it.

How do I choose between this and the other service in the category?

The page with a written method gives you more information in advance. Which one suits you is what we discuss at the appointment.

How do I ask questions that occur to me later?

You can call without waiting for the next appointment. Noting what you noticed in between is what stops the conversation starting over from the beginning.
