Short answer: The soundest approach is to choose the treatment based on your personal needs and the current condition of your hair or skin, then follow the before and after instructions consistently.
Initial consultation
Shape, colour, skin type, previous procedures and health information all need to be assessed.
Managing expectations
The colour you see on day one can change as the area heals. A touch-up session may be needed for the final result.
Healing period
Don't scratch the area, don't pick at scabs and follow the recommended aftercare protocol.
Sun and water
Advice on avoiding heavy water exposure, steam, sauna and sun in the first days varies by treatment type.
