Laser — Abdominal Line
This extent is a narrow strip, and a strip has no natural start and no natural finish. Where it begins above and where it stops below are two separate decisions; both are taken up one at a time at the head of the appointment.

About this treatment
On an extent shaped as an area, the edge travels round and closes somewhere. On a strip nothing closes; it has two ends and both of them are open.
So the thing that happens most often is that the ends drift. One appointment starts a few centimetres higher, the next a few centimetres lower, and nobody notices.
What this page is about is those two ends: how they are settled, how they are written down, and what is gained by their staying put.
Session plan
On a strip, the most useful observation between two appointments is whether the ends are still where they belong. If they stay put, the change in between can be compared; if they drift, what you are comparing is no longer the same strip.
Who it is planned for
Whether you want a strip or a larger area is not for this page to decide. What it can say is that if you choose the strip, the two ends and the width are taken up in their own right, and that conversation weighs as much as the extent itself.
- Come having thought about where you want the strip to begin above.
- Think separately about where you want it to stop below; that is not the same decision.
- If you have the whole belly in mind, the catalogue holds a separate entry of larger extent.
- Tell us before the appointment what medicines you take and whether your skin runs to scarring.
Before your appointment
Recommended
- Come with an idea of where you want the upper end of the strip.
- Think about the lower end separately; at the appointment each is asked on its own.
- Choose a garment whose waistband does not sit on the strip.
- If you have been before, settle whether the previous ends should stay.
To avoid
- Do not take the strip with wax or tweezers before the appointment.
- Do not brown the place in sun or sunbed as the appointment draws near.
- Do not assume the ends are right from memory; what gets read is the entry.
- Do not try to mark the strip out and fix it at home.
Method
What sits under this heading is what the machine does, and for the platform the studio uses we hold no verified document. The conversation about where the strip's two ends stop describes coverage instead, and you will find it in that section.
How the appointment runs
- Settling the upper endWhere the strip begins above is decided by pointing.
- Settling the lower endWhere it stops below is taken up in its own right; it does not count as decided along with the upper end.
- Taking up the widthHow wide the strip should be is settled too; the word «line» does not describe that.
- The applicationThe work runs along the settled strip; say that it is uncomfortable and it halts.
- Entering both endsUpper end, lower end and width are written down together; the next appointment opens with those three pieces.
After your appointment
Recommended
- Over the first days, weigh up whether the upper and lower ends sit where you expected.
- Record which day the redness went.
- If you have formed a view about the width, put it down in your own words.
- Carry your decision about the ends to the next appointment.
To avoid
- Do not take the surfaces to either side of the strip yourself.
- Do not put a hot water bottle or the like on the strip in the first days.
- Go nowhere near a tanning product until the next appointment.
- If blistering or a change of colour turns up, do not apply a cream of your own choosing.
When to contact us: If a redness stays on, or blistering or a change of colour turns up, ring us and say which end of the strip it is at. If something points to an infection, go to a practice first.
What to be aware of
- In the hours after the treatment, a redness and a swelling resembling sunburn are held to be usual.
- Blistering, infection, scarring left behind and a lasting change of colour are reported as rare risks.
- For the period before the treatment, a daily wide-spectrum protection of factor thirty and above is advised.
- Tanning, the sunbed and tanning products are to be kept away from.
- Wax, tweezers and electrolysis are not recommended; the source states no lead time for that.
At a glance
- The upper end and the lower end of the strip are settled one at a time; one description does not cover both.
- Both ends go into the entry, and next time things carry on from the same points.
- The width is taken up as well; the word «line» on its own gives no width.
- Widening the extent into an area is a separate entry in the catalogue and does not happen during this appointment.
- Even on a narrow strip, the appointments are planned with space between them.
Good to know
Why are two separate questions asked?
Can I not name the ends of the strip in one go?
You can name them, but the two ends do not depend on each other. Describing the upper one does not settle the lower one.
That is why we ask twice and write twice.
How wide is a «line»?
Who settles the width?
The catalogue name gives no width. It is settled by talking it through during the appointment.
The settled width is written down together with the ends; all three are read as one.
What happens if the ends drift?
Do a few centimetres of difference matter?
For comparing, they do. Once the ends drift, your observation between two appointments no longer describes the same surface.
To keep that from happening, all three pieces are written down and read back at every appointment.
Moving from a strip to an area
What if I want the whole belly later on?
The catalogue holds a separate entry of larger extent for that; you pick it when you take the appointment.
On the move across, the ends of the strip lose their meaning, and the following is set up afresh with the new extent.
A thin strip and the rhythm behind it
Cannot a surface this small be done in one go?
It cannot. The plan follows the rhythm of the hair, not the size of the surface being worked.
A fixed figure for it is not something we hold; that something grows again later, we do.
Wax and tweezers
How long before the appointment must I stop?
Our source advises against wax, tweezers and electrolysis but states no lead time for it.
We do not invent a number; ask when you take the appointment.
The points that belong in the open beforehand
What should we know about before the first time?
About a liability to scars, about freshly browned skin, about recurring herpes outbreaks, and about everything you swallow.
Isotretinoin the safety text sets out by name.
The Fatma Süha approach
At Fatma Süha we do not pass over a strip-shaped extent with a single question; it has two open ends, and each asks for a decision of its own.
We ask about the width too. The word «line» describes no width, and everyone has a different one in mind.
We keep the three pieces on record together. Left unrecorded, the strip shifts a few centimetres from one appointment to the next, and that shifting only shows months later.
If you want the extent made larger, we tell you it is a separate entry. A strip that grows quietly ruins the following.
Frequently asked questions
- Who settles the ends of the strip?
- The upper and lower ends are decided one at a time at the appointment by pointing, and written down together.
- How wide will the strip be?
- The width is taken up at the appointment too; the catalogue name gives no width.
- Do the ends stay the same at every appointment?
- They stay the same because they are read out of the entry. If you want them changed, a word is enough.
- Can I move to the whole belly later?
- You can; the catalogue holds a separate entry of larger extent for that, and you pick it when you take the appointment.
- How many appointments does a thin strip take?
- No number sits in our source; all it speaks of is a run whose appointments are planned with space between them.
- How long before the appointment must I leave the wax?
- The source states no lead time, and we invent none. Ask when you take the appointment.
- Is sun protection needed on a thin surface too?
- The source advises daily protection and draws no distinction by how narrow the surface is.
- Must I tell you which medicines I take?
- You must. Pass it on together with a leaning towards scarring, fresh browning and a herpes history; isotretinoin stands in the list by name.
