Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we're breaking down the most common mistakes providers make when it comes to laser and energy-based treatments—and more importantly, how to avoid them.
From over-relying on energy levels to skipping test spots, Kathy dives into the nuances of treatment planning and patient safety. She discusses why higher energy doesn’t always mean better results, how to select the right technique on purpose, and what it really means to understand your settings—not just individually, but in how they interact.
In today's discussion:
- Using higher energy for better results
- Correct candidates for specific settings
- Balancing protection and shielding with cooling
- Understanding how settings interact
- Skipping test spots
- When in doubt, slow down
- Overlap: overtreating vs. undertreating
- Understanding different techniques and when to use them
- Choosing a technique on purpose
- Assuming more passes = better results
- Assuming sun exposure means no treatments
- Not adjusting settings across multiple treatments
- Not understanding skincare's role in treatment outcomes
