The questions we answer before anyone books.
Not a blog. A short library of the decisions that come up in consultation, written down so you can make them before you arrive. Revised when the answer changes, rather than replaced by something newer.
Comparison 6 min read Morpheus8 or microneedling? Is the radiofrequency worth the extra downtime? Both use needles. Only one heats the tissue underneath them — and that single difference decides which one belongs on your face. Read → Comparison 5 min read Endosphères or Icoone®? Which suits your tissue — and why we sometimes run both. Two mechanical treatments with overlapping promises and genuinely different mechanisms. The difference is rhythm versus precision. Read → Candidacy 5 min read Who cryolipolysis does not suit The honest limits of fat freezing. It reduces defined pockets. It is not a weight-loss treatment, and for a meaningful number of people who ask for it, it is the wrong tool. Read → Planning 5 min read What a chemical peel costs, and why depth changes it How to buy the right depth rather than the deepest one. Peel pricing tracks recovery time more closely than it tracks anything else. Once you understand why, the menu stops being confusing. Read → Planning 4 min read Planning laser hair removal around summer When to start so the course is not interrupted. The hair growth cycle sets the schedule and sun exposure breaks it. The practical answer is to start counting backwards from August. Read → Candidacy 5 min read Sun damage or rosacea? What IPL can fix, and what it will make worse. Lumecca is the fastest treatment we run for pigment and redness — and the one with the strictest rules about when you can have it. Read → Candidacy 4 min read Firmness without downtime What Forma can do, and where its ceiling is. The comfortable radiofrequency option, described honestly — including the point at which it stops being enough. Read → Planning 4 min read Booking a facial before an event How far ahead — and what not to stack on top of it. The single most common scheduling mistake we see is booking the right treatment on the wrong day. Read → Comparison 4 min read Endosphères Classic or Evolution? Why the newer platform is not automatically the right one. Two generations of the same technology, both still on our floor, because a meaningful number of clients get a better result from the older protocol. Read → Planning 6 min read In what order do body treatments go? Sequencing fat, skin and muscle so each one builds on the last. Most people book the treatment they have heard of. A plan built in the right order costs less and works better than the same treatments booked at random. Read → Explainer 5 min read What is body contouring? Non-surgical fat reduction, skin tightening and toning — explained. Body contouring reshapes the body — less stubborn fat, firmer skin, more tone — without surgery. What the non-surgical version can and cannot do. Read →
