What this stage is for
We refine intensity based on your recovery history — not a one-size “more is better” pass. If barrier stress showed up after Phase 3, Phase 4 may emphasize discipline over aggression.
Patient focus between Saturdays
- Keep harsh actives paused when asked
- Photograph progress in consistent light
- Protect remodeling from heat and midday sun
How it connects to the protocol
Follow-up phases open only after Phase 1 is completed in the care ledger. Phase 4 assumes eligibility already affirmed healing capacity at the Initial Consultation.
