Medical Skin Care in Istanbul

Medical skin care begins with identifying the concern rather than choosing a fashionable facial. Sensitivity, acne tendency, pigmentation, texture, dryness and current products all change what is appropriate.

At the Akasya Acibadem clinic, professional procedures are planned to complement—not replace—a consistent home routine and medical treatment when a skin condition is present.

What Is Medical Skin Care?

Medical skin care may include cleansing, controlled exfoliation, hydration support, comedone care or other clinic-based steps selected for the skin. The exact protocol depends on assessment and should not be assumed to suit every person.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Suitability is confirmed through an individual medical assessment. Treatment may be considered for:

• People seeking a structured plan for texture, congestion, dryness or maintenance
• Patients whose skin sensitivity and current treatment have been reviewed
• Those prepared to follow sun protection and a realistic home routine

Medical Assessment and Treatment Planning

The assessment reviews symptoms, previous reactions, acne medication, retinoids, recent procedures, allergies and pigment tendency. Active dermatitis, infection or an uncertain lesion may require medical evaluation before any facial procedure.

What Happens During Treatment?

The session is adapted to the skin on the day. Aggressive extraction or exfoliation is avoided when it would increase inflammation or pigmentation risk.

Expected Results and Timeline

Skin can feel smoother or more hydrated after a session, but lasting improvement depends on the diagnosis, home care and repeated assessment. Medical skin care cannot permanently shrink pores or erase scars in one visit.

Downtime and Recovery

Temporary redness, tightness, sensitivity or mild peeling can occur. The intensity depends on the protocol and baseline skin barrier.

Possible Side Effects and Limitations

No medical aesthetic treatment is risk-free. Possible effects and limitations include:

• Irritation, dryness or temporary breakouts
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation, especially after excessive irritation
• Allergic or contact reactions
• Worsening of an unrecognised skin condition
• Limited benefit when expectations exceed what surface care can achieve

Aftercare

Use gentle cleansing, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sun protection as advised. Avoid adding multiple active products immediately after the session. Contact the clinic for blistering, marked swelling, persistent burning or signs of infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is medical skin care suitable for active acne?

Sometimes, but acne severity and current medicines should be reviewed first. It does not replace appropriate acne treatment.

How often should I have a session?

There is no universal schedule. Frequency depends on the goal, skin response and home routine.

Can it remove acne scars?

Surface care may improve general texture, but established scars often require a separate treatment plan.
