About this treatment

Some writing about a part of the body behaves as though it knows what the reader feels. In trying to soothe, it is really building an assumption, and for most people that assumption is wrong.

We do not work that way here. We describe no feeling on your behalf; what we write down instead is how the appointment moves.

Our subject is this: what gets asked at which step, how consent is taken, and what happens when you want to halt.

Session plan

The most valuable piece of information between two appointments at this part of the body is which step bothered you. Say it and the next appointment moves differently at that point; leave it unsaid and it repeats exactly as before.

Who it is planned for

This page decides nothing on your behalf and makes no guess about how you feel. All it can say is that you are asked at every step of the appointment and that a no is an accepted part of the flow.

• Who you want in the room can be passed on before you even take an appointment.
• If you have had a procedure on this part of the body, pass on its date before the appointment.
• If your skin runs towards forming scars, say so at the first appointment.
• Pass on the medicines you take regularly before the appointment; isotretinoin is among them.

Before your appointment

Method

Because we found no manufacturer document for the studio's laser platform, we do not describe how the machine works here. How consent is asked for at each step is not a method description; you read that in the flow section of the page.

How the appointment runs

1. 1Talking over the roomThe appointment opens by saying who will be in the room and how things will be gone about.
2. 2Pointing out the extentWhich surface will be worked is settled by pointing and written into the entry.
3. 3Consent step by stepBefore every step you are told what will be done; you are asked whether to carry on.
4. 4The haltSay you want to halt and things halt right there, with no reason asked for.
5. 5Closing the entryHow far things got at this appointment is written down; the next appointment carries on from there.

After your appointment

When to contact us: If the redness runs on a long while, or you see blistering or a change of colour, ring us. If something points to an infection, go to a doctor first.

What to be aware of

• The source records that a redness and a swelling resembling sunburn are usual after the treatment.
• Blistering, infection, scarring and a lasting change of colour are listed as rare risks.
• For the days before the appointment, a daily wide-spectrum protection of factor thirty and above is advised.
• Tanning, the sunbed and tanning products are among the things advised against.
• If you carry a history of oral or genital herpes, you are asked to share it.

At a glance

• Before every step you are told what will be done; nothing happens as a surprise movement.
• Say «not now» and the treatment halts at that point, with no reason asked for.
• How many people will be in the room is talked over before the appointment starts.
• The extent is settled by pointing; the name on its own does not give it.
• That the treatment is a run with space between appointments is said at the first appointment.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

At Fatma Süha we describe no feeling on your behalf for this part of the body. We do not know how you feel, and we do not write down what we do not know.

What we write down instead is the flow. Reading in advance what will be asked is of more use than a soothing sentence.

A no counts, for us, as part of the flow. We ask for no reason, because asking for a reason makes the no harder.

Who is in the room is for you to settle. It is not a heading to be taken up after the appointment has already begun.

Frequently asked questions

Am I asked at every step?

You are. What will be done is stated beforehand, and whether to carry on is settled in that same moment.

Can I halt partway?

You can. The moment you say it, things halt, and no reason is asked for.

How many people will be in the room?

This is talked over before the appointment starts; your wish can be passed on before you even take an appointment.

Who settles the edge of the extent?

It is settled together at the appointment by pointing, and written into the entry.

How many appointments will be needed?

No such number sits in our source; what it describes is a build as a run with space between appointments.

Why does it come back?

That is a question for an examination. A condition that keeps coming back is better talked over with a doctor.

Is sun protection needed at this part of the body too?

The source recommends daily protection and keeping clear of tanning; it draws no distinction by part of the body.

What do I need to share?

A liability to scarring, a fresh tan, a herpes history and the medicines you take; isotretinoin the source names outright.
