What are the benefits of medical skin care?

The aim of medical skin care is not only to improve the appearance of the skin or hide imperfections, but also to identify and treat deep-seated health problems. The benefits of this care are as follows:

• Reduces oil and dirt formation on the skin
• Cleanses the pores
• Improves the skin’s ability to breathe
• Helps skin repair
• Evens skin tone
• Stops the progression of skin blemishes
• Revitalizes skin
• Reduces wrinkles

How is medical skin care done?

Medical skin care may include different stages as it is designed individually, but an average session starts with soothing the skin with the help of steam. Then, the skin is cleansed with solutions, creams and serums with special ingredients. The cleansed skin is purified using vacuum. In this way, accumulated dirt and oil are removed.

Then, a detailed vacuum is applied to the skin and peeling care is started. After peeling, which can be chemical or physical, the skin is left to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Then, medical solutions to be used according to the skin surface and structure of the person are applied to the T-zone. These solutions have the ability to reach the dermis, which is the bottom layer of the skin, and thus the cells are revitalized.

In the last stage of care, combined LED light treatments are applied. Blue LED is used for problems related to the top surface of the skin, such as acne, and red LED is used to reduce inflammation and trigger collagen production. When it is necessary to reach the lower layers of the skin, yellow or near-infrared LED is preferred.

 

6 things you should pay attention to after medical skin care

Medical skin care is a procedure that improves the quality of life and provides self-confidence. In order for the benefits of this care to be satisfying and permanent, it is necessary to pay attention to some issues after the intervention.

1. Protect your skin from heat sources (hot baths, saunas, etc.) for several days after a medical skin care session.
2. Even if the weather is not hot, sun light can damage the sensitized skin. Take care with the sunscreen recommended by your dermatologist.
3. Do not be misled by the words “natural”, “organic” or “suitable for sensitive skin” on your make-up materials. Allow your skin to rest by not wearing make-up for at least 5 days after the treatments.
4. In order for the skin to protect and repair itself, it must have enough moisture. Pay attention to fluid consumption and moisturize your skin as recommended by your doctor.
5. If your skin care will be completed in more than one session, it will be done in a calendar according to the skin’s regeneration cycle. Follow the schedule given to you.
6. If your medical dermatologist has additional recommendations for health conditions specific to you and your skin, be sure to follow them.
