How it goes

The initial consultation
Examination, discussion of your request, screening for contraindications and a written plan. No procedure is carried out on the day of the first consultation: the time to think it over is yours.
The in-room protocol
Make-up removal, an assessment of the skin as it is that day, then the treatment itself. Settings are adjusted to what the skin shows on the day, not to what it showed at the consultation.
After the session
The skin may look pink for a few hours. Make-up is best avoided on the day, and sun protection is essential in the following days. These treatments are conceived as regular upkeep rather than a one-off.

Frequently asked questions

What about the sun afterwards?

Daily sun protection becomes essential for several weeks, including on overcast days. At our latitude, it is the factor that decides how the result holds on darker skin.

Are there contraindications?

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active skin infection, some autoimmune conditions and certain medications are among them. They are checked in consultation, not ticked on a form — and they can lead to a refusal.

What result can I expect?

No result can be guaranteed: it depends on your skin, your age, your lifestyle and the indication retained. What can be stated is what the procedure aims at and what it does not do. The rest is discussed in consultation, in front of your face rather than a photograph.
