What should we measure during a course besides “smooth”?
Smooth skin describes a moment, not the whole course. A useful review follows regrowth, hair character, distribution, skin experience and the change that matters to the client.

Evidence-led, approachable and guided by questions about the starting data
Smooth skin describes a moment, not the whole course. A useful review follows regrowth, hair character, distribution, skin experience and the change that matters to the client.
A session comparison is useful only when we separate the starting condition, the procedure itself and what happened afterward. Pain, redness and one photograph cannot do that work alone.
A useful tip can fit in a short video, but the conditions that make it true often do not. Four questions help separate a good starting point from a risky recipe.
A photograph is useful only when it preserves the same question from one visit to the next. Light, distance, hair length, body position and consent all matter more than a dramatic frame.
