What is worth knowing before you book
These are the explanations I give in the clinic again and again — what separates the methods, what is reasonable to expect, and what is not. No promises, and no blurring of the line between cosmetics and medicine.
Cold, hot and fractional plasma — three technologies, not three intensities
Cold, hot and fractional plasma are not three settings of the same treatment. Each works differently and answers a different goal — here is how the skin analysis decides which one is yours.
What happens in a skin analysis — and why every treatment starts there
A computerised skin analysis is not a formality before the treatment; it is what decides what the treatment will be. Here is exactly what happens at the first session, and what it shows that the eye cannot.
Melasma, sun spots and age spots — why they are not the same mark
Three kinds of pigmentation that look alike and behave completely differently. What helps one can make another worse, which is why the analysis comes before the method.
Adult acne and teenage acne — two conditions, two protocols
Acne at 35 is not the same as acne at 15, and it deserves different handling. What changes between them, and what to do with what the skin keeps after the activity settles.
Ultrasound or fractional RF? What the difference is, and when each one fits
Two treatments that both talk about tightening and work in entirely different ways. The difference in depth, in downtime and in the kind of slackness each suits — and what happens when they are combined.
Stretch marks and scars — why an old mark responds differently from a fresh one
What determines how a stretch mark or scar responds to treatment, why my first question is how old it is, and what the plasma method can achieve — and what it cannot.
Downtime — what to expect after each kind of treatment, and how to plan the week
Not every treatment involves downtime, and not all downtime looks alike. What happens after ultrasound, after gold, after plasma and after fractional RF — and when to book.
When the right thing is a referral to a physician
Where cosmetics ends and medicine begins. On skin lesions, on hair loss, on conditions that call for investigation — and why "no" is sometimes the most professional thing I have to give.
