Technique 01
Cross-hatching
Structured passes in defined directions are used to achieve controlled coverage. Depth and passes change between the forehead, cheeks, nose, neck, décolletage and other areas.

Cross-hatching and stamping
Idalia does not use uncontrolled circular movements. Coverage is built with planned passes and targeted placement.
Technique 02
Stamping
Direct vertical placement can be used over selected areas to reduce dragging and provide more controlled local treatment.
Injectable skin quality
Micro-nappage and BAP
These terms describe different placement strategies, not interchangeable branding.
Technique 03
Micro-nappage
A series of small, controlled superficial placements may be used for suitable mesotherapy or PDRN plans. A working depth of approximately 1.5–2 mm may be selected according to location, product instructions and skin.
Technique 04
BAP placement
Bio-aesthetic-points placement uses a small set of planned injection points for relevant HA bio-remodelling protocols such as Profhilo, where the product and area call for it.
The technique name never overrides the product instructions
Sculptra/PLLA, Radiesse/CaHA, Profhilo/HA, PDRN, mesotherapy products, dermal fillers and PRP/PRF require different preparation, depths and placement choices. A method is used only when it is relevant to that product and area.
