Medical Skincare

About the procedure

This page provides detailed, clear information about Medical Skincare. Before a plan is agreed, your needs, medical history and suitability are assessed individually.

Who may consider this procedure and what is its aim?

Medical skin care is a supportive care approach planned by professional evaluation of the skin barrier, sensitivity, oiliness, dryness and the products used.

Cleansing may include superficial exfoliation, moisture support, or selected topical steps; The full protocol and products used should be explained prior to the procedure.

During the consultation, your intended change, daily schedule and priorities are considered together, so possible benefits, timing and aftercare needs form a plan you can understand.

Results and timing

A skincare session can provide a temporary feeling of cleansing, moisture or shine; It does not address diseases such as acne, rosacea or blemishes on its own. For a consistent care plan, a home routine and dermatological support when needed are important.

It is not safe to aggressively remove all blackheads. There may be redness or mild tenderness; If barrier disruption, irritation and stains develop, products should be re-evaluated.

Assessment and decision criteria

The aim of medical skin care is to first identify the skin type and active problem. Dryness, sensitivity, acne, rosacea, blemishes, and barrier dysfunction are not addressed with the same product or device.

Prescription products used, retinoids, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent laser or peeling, and active infection should be questioned. The contents of the products and disposable materials to be used in care should be explained.

Limitations and suitability

• Care; It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis and procedure of acne, eczema, rosacea, infection or suspicious skin lesions.

• The same product and device cannot be applied to every skin; Intensive procedures on sensitive or compromised skin may increase irritation.

• The term 'medical' does not mean that every product used is a medicine or every step is a procedure.

Alternatives and combined procedure planning

Simple and regular home care, dermatological examination, prescription procedure, peeling or device applications may be more appropriate depending on the target. Instead of using many active ingredients simultaneously, a basic routine should be established as tolerated.

Steam, vacuum or mechanical squeezing during skin care is not suitable for all skin types. For rosacea, active inflammatory acne, or sensitive barrier, a gentler plan or postponing the procedure may be preferred.

The home routine should be kept as simple as possible and new products should be added in a controlled manner to identify the source of irritation.

Care, follow-up and safety

Aftercare

• Do not use irritating acid, retinoid or peeling products on the same day without the recommendation of the clinic.

• Keep skin moisturized, protected from sun, and avoid additional friction or intense heat when redness is present.

• Contact the clinic at any signs of increased burning, swelling, blisters, discharge, widespread rash, or infection.
