While many individuals dream of achieving healthy skin and a youthful appearance, they may damage their skin by undergoing procedures performed by non-specialists that are not suitable for their skin. However, when skin renewal applications are done by specialized dermatologists, much healthier results can be achieved.
Skin health can deteriorate and lose its radiance over time due to natural aging, harmful effects of the sun, stress, and environmental factors. However, after examinations by specialized dermatologists, it is possible to regain skin health with skin rejuvenating treatments tailored specifically for you. Numerous skin treatments can be applied in Dermatology Clinics, depending on your skin type and skin problem.
• Youth Vaccine:
The youth vaccine consists of injections applied to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging on the skin. The treatment typically uses substances such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, which enhance skin moisture and provide elasticity.
• Chemical Peeling:
Chemical peeling is a procedure aimed at peeling the top layer of the skin to reveal a younger and healthier layer underneath. In this process, a special acid solution is applied to the skin and cleansed after a specific duration. The controlled damage induced leads to skin renewal. The effect of chemical peeling varies depending on the intensity of the acid applied and the skin type.
• Mesotherapy:
Mesotherapy is a method in which vitamins, amino acids, and other nourishing substances are injected into the lower layers of the skin. This process aims to achieve a livelier, healthier, and younger-looking skin. The effect of mesotherapy varies depending on the substances used, skin type, and individual response. Typically, it is applied in multiple sessions, varying by person.
• Dermapen-Dermaroller:
Dermapen or Dermaroller is a procedure aimed at increasing collagen production by puncturing the skin with micro-needles. In this method, tiny needles are used to create holes in the skin, thereby promoting skin renewal.
• Fibrocell (Stem Cell) Therapy:
Fibrocell therapy is a method used to accelerate the natural renewal process of the skin. In this treatment, stem cells taken from the skin are multiplied in laboratory conditions and injected back into the skin. Fibrocell therapy aims for firmer, brighter, and younger-looking skin.
• Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy is a method where the skin is treated by exposure to low temperatures through the application of nitrogen gas. With cryotherapy, spots, warts, or other skin problems can be treated. The effects of cryotherapy vary depending on the application area, skin type, and problem, but generally emerge within a few weeks. The procedure has no side effects.
• PRP:
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a skin renewal method where plasma obtained from the patient's own blood through a special process is injected into the target area for treatment. PRP aims to support skin renewal and target radiant and more youthful-looking skin.
Having skin rejuvenation procedures performed by a professional dermatologist is of great importance. A specialist dermatologist evaluates your skin condition before the procedure, listens to your needs and expectations, offers you the most effective and safe options, and applies the most suitable method for your skin structure and sensitivity in a way that minimizes unwanted side effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are required to see the effects of skin renewal procedures?
The effectiveness of skin renewal procedures can vary depending on the method applied and the individual's skin structure. After procedures like laser skin renewal or fractional laser, initial effects start to be seen within a few weeks. Generally, a process of 3 to 6 sessions may be required to achieve the desired result. Following post-treatment care protocols is essential to accelerate the effect and recovery process.
How should skin care be administered after fractional laser?
After fractional laser, the skin becomes sensitive and vulnerable for a period. It is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure in the first few days following the procedure and use high-protection sunscreen. Slight redness, peeling, and sensitivity of the skin are normal. During this period, regularly using the moisturizers and soothing creams recommended by the doctor is important.
Are home skin renewal methods effective?
Home skincare practices (such as masks, serums, regular moisturizing) may help maintain and support skin health. These applications are generally superficial and do not provide adequate results for deeper issues like wrinkles, blemishes, or loss of elasticity. Advanced renewal methods like laser skin renewal or fractional laser have much deeper healing effects by reaching the inner layers of the skin. Home-applied methods may not be sufficient for skin renewal needs, and professional procedures under a dermatologist's supervision should definitely be preferred.
Are skin renewal procedures permanent?
Skin renewal procedures make the skin appear younger, brighter, and healthier; however, as the aging process continues naturally, effects are not entirely permanent. The effectiveness of the applied treatments can vary depending on the individual's skin type, age, and lifestyle. To maintain the improvements gained from the procedures, it is important to continue regular maintenance sessions, limit smoking and alcohol use, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
