Overview
Skin rejuvenation brings together non-surgical treatments that support the texture, radiance, hydration and elasticity of your skin. The goal is not a filtered look, but skin that looks healthy, rested and true to its natural texture.
Every plan begins with a skin analysis that considers your skin type, sensitivity, sun history and goals. HydraFacial offers deep cleansing and hydration; fractional laser stimulates collagen renewal for fine lines, pores and acne scarring; and skin boosters support hydration and elasticity in the deeper layers.
Treatments are carried out under physician supervision, with settings suited to your skin type and approved products. Most sessions take 30–60 minutes with a same-day return to daily life, while programmes that need several sessions are planned around your travel and can continue on future visits.
Who is it for?
- Anyone noticing dullness, uneven texture or enlarged pores
- People whose skin looks tired from fine lines and loss of hydration
- Those with acne scarring, sun spots or uneven skin tone
- Anyone wanting a refresh with no downtime before a special occasion or a trip
- Adults in good general health with no active skin infection in the treatment area
Techniques & options
01
HydraFacial
Combines cleansing, gentle exfoliation, pore extraction and intensive hydration in a single session. With no downtime, it fits easily into any day of your trip.
02
Fractional laser
Microscopic points of treatment across a small fraction of the skin stimulate collagen renewal. The aim is gradual improvement in fine lines, pore appearance and acne scarring.
03
Lasers for pigmentation and redness
Sun spots, uneven tone and fine surface vessels are targeted to support a more even complexion. The type of laser and its settings are chosen for your skin type.
04
Skin boosters
Fine injections based on hyaluronic acid support deep hydration and elasticity — improving skin quality rather than adding volume. Usually 2–3 sessions a few weeks apart are recommended.
How it works
- 1
Online assessment
You share make-up-free photos of your skin taken in daylight; your physician reviews your skin history and goals and prepares a personal preliminary plan.
- 2
Skin analysis and consultation
At your consultation in Istanbul, your skin type, hydration, pigmentation and texture are assessed in detail. The treatment or combination is chosen together, with your travel dates and sun plans in mind.
- 3
Treatment
Depending on the method, a session takes 30–60 minutes. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before laser or skin boosters if needed; HydraFacial usually requires none.
- 4
Aftercare and daily life
You return to daily life the same day, with a written aftercare plan covering a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sun protection suited to your skin.
- 5
Two-week review
Around two weeks later your skin's response is reviewed together — in person or online. Any further sessions are then planned around your calendar.
Recovery timeline
Same day
Refreshed
After HydraFacial, skin usually just looks hydrated and rested. Laser can leave mild redness and warmth; you can carry on with your plans.
Days 1–3
Calming
Redness and sensitivity ease, and any small bumps from skin boosters disappear. You keep to a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sun protection.
Week 1
Renewal
Any light flaking or roughness after laser passes. Active skincare resumes when your physician advises.
Weeks 2–4
Review
Your skin's response is reviewed, and any next session in your programme is planned. Protection from strong sun continues.
Months 1–3
Skin quality
Improvement linked to collagen renewal continues gradually. Daily sun protection and home care help to maintain it.
