Laser — Full Face

About this treatment

The same advice stands on every page, but it does not weigh the same everywhere. Covering an arm is possible; covering the face is not.

So here the sun is not a reminder but the plan itself. Which season you begin in, how much time you spend outdoors and what holiday you have in view come up before the gap between appointments does.

That is exactly the subject here: why the same advice binds more on the face, and how that shows in the schedule.

Session plan

What we talk about most across the whole run with this extent is not the calendar but the season. There is a difference in planning between appointments falling in a sunny stretch and ones falling in an overcast one, and we set that up together.

Who it is planned for

This page makes no suitability decision. What it can say is that in planning a run on the face the subject of the sun comes before the calendar, and talking it over up front is easier than moving appointments later.

• If a sunny holiday is in view over the coming months, say so before you take an appointment.
• If you work outdoors or spend long stretches outside, point that out.
• If a treatment with a preparation is under way on your face, pass it on before the appointment.
• Refresh the details of your medicines before every appointment, isotretinoin included.

Before your appointment

Method

This heading is reserved for how the machine works, and for the platform the studio uses we hold no verified document. How sun protection is planned belongs to aftercare and is written there.

How the appointment runs

1. 1The question about the sunHow much sun has reached you lately, and whether an outdoor stretch is coming, is put to you at the start.
2. 2Settling the limit on the faceHairline above, jaw line below: both get shown, fixed and put into the record.
3. 3The applicationOn the face, work proceeds over the settled surface, and the moment it feels uncomfortable, it pauses.
4. 4Talking about the return to make-upAt the end of the appointment, when you can put something on your face again is talked over.
5. 5Planning the gapThe next appointment is planned by looking at your standing with the sun and the rhythm from our text together.

After your appointment

When to contact us: If a redness stays on, or blistering or a change of colour joins it, ring us and say which part of the face it is on. If something brings inflammation to mind, turn to a practice first.

What to be aware of

• After the treatment, a redness and swelling resembling sunburn are among the expected findings.
• Blistering, infection, scarring and a lasting change of colour are recorded as seldom-seen risks.
• For the period before the treatment, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least factor thirty every day is advised.
• Tanning in the sun or in a sunbed and using tanning products are not recommended.
• If you tend towards outbreaks of fever blisters, that has to be reported before the treatment.

At a glance

• Daily protection is raised while the plan is made, not once things are done.
• If a holiday or an outdoor stretch is coming, the plan is set around it.
• The limit of the surface on the face is shown and settled at the hairline and the jaw line.
• When you can reach for your make-up again is talked over at the end of the appointment.
• How tanned you are just now gets its own question at each visit.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

At Fatma Süha we write the same advice about the sun on every laser page. On the face it weighs differently, because the option of covering up is not there for you.

We do not press that into a list of warnings. While setting the plan up we ask openly: a holiday in view, work in the open air, a long stretch outdoors?

What is not in our text we do not add. Which preparation you use, or how often you renew it, is not the subject of this page.

Moving the plan is a possibility too. We hold that to be counting the season in, not a lapse.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the advice about the sun weigh more on the face?

The advice is the same, but the face cannot be kept in shade with clothing; so it moves into the plan.

Is beginning in summer a bad idea?

Our text lays down no rule about the season. Name your outdoor routine and we set the plan up together.

Are the hairline and the underside of the jaw included?

The limits are shown, settled and written down at the appointment; the catalogue name does not give them.

From when may I wear make-up again?

We talk it over at the end of the appointment. Because our text says nothing on the point, we set down no period here.

I am back from a holiday with a tan — what now?

We ask where things stand before the appointment and look at it together; our text advises against getting a tan.

How often does one come back on the face?

No figure stands in our text; what is described is a course that moves on with gaps in it.

May I have a peel before the appointment?

We ask you not to use an exfoliating product on the face in the days beforehand; tell us your plan when you take the appointment.

Should I report the preparations I use on my face?

Report them. Pass that on together with your medicines before the appointment.
