Medical Skin Care
While daily skincare routines cleanse the surface of the skin, medical skincare penetrates deeper layers, offering more effective and long-term solutions. Performed with professional devices, medical products, and expert touch, this application plays an important role in maintaining skin health and delaying the signs of aging.
So, what exactly is medical skin care, how is it performed, and for whom is it suitable? We have covered these topics in detail below.
What Is Medical Skin Care?
Medical skincare is a deep-cleansing skincare application performed with a dermatologist or aesthetician, customized to the skin type and needs, using professional devices and products.
This application stands out from classic skincare by offering deep pore cleansing, removal of dead skin cells, equalization of skin tone, and anti-aging measures.
How Is Medical Skin Care Performed?
A skin analysis is performed before the application, and a special care protocol is determined according to the person's needs. The general process consists of the following steps:
- Skin Cleansing: Makeup residue and dirt are removed.
- Peeling: Dead cells are removed, and the skin is prepared for renewal.
- Steam and Comedone Cleansing: Pores are opened, blackheads and oil plugs are removed.
- Maske ve Serum Uygulaması: Cildin ihtiyacına göre maske ve medikal serumlar uygulanır.
- Moisturizing and Sun Protection: The skin is soothed and protected.
Importance of Medical Skin Care
The skin is our largest defense line against external factors. Over time, environmental factors, stress, inadequate care, and signs of aging lead to problems such as dullness, spots, and acne on the skin. Medical skin care offers effective solutions to eliminate these problems.
It also protects skin health, supports collagen production, and accelerates the skin's self-renewal. This means a healthier, brighter, and younger-looking complexion.
How Often Should Medical Skin Care Be Done?
The frequency of skin care varies according to the person's skin type, age, and existing problems. However, the general recommendation is as follows:
- Normal and combination skin: Once a month
- Oily and acne-prone skin: Every 2-3 weeks
- Dry and sensitive skin: Every 4-6 weeks
Regular medical care helps maintain the skin's natural balance.
Things to Consider After Medical Skin Care
After the application, the skin becomes more sensitive. Therefore, the following precautions are very important:
- No makeup should be applied for the first 24 hours.
- Sunlight should be avoided, and high-factor sunscreen should be used.
- Attention should be paid to skin cleansing, and recommended products should be used.
- Hot showers, saunas, and steam baths should be avoided.
What Are Medical Skincare Products?
The products used in the application generally belong to dermocosmetic brands and are selected according to skin type. Commonly used products include:
- Peeling products containing mild acids (AHA, BHA)
- Antioxidant serums (Vitamin C, Vitamin E)
- Moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid
- Detoxifying masks
- Sunscreen (SPF 30 and above)
