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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Week 1

    Renewal

    Any light flaking or roughness after laser passes. Active skincare resumes when your physician advises.

  4. Weeks 2–4

    Review

    Your skin's response is reviewed, and any next session in your programme is planned. Protection from strong sun continues.

  5. Months 1–3

    Skin quality

    Improvement linked to collagen renewal continues gradually. Daily sun protection and home care help to maintain it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which treatment is right for me?
That decision is made with your physician after your skin analysis. HydraFacial suits radiance and hydration, fractional laser addresses texture and fine lines, and skin boosters support deep hydration and elasticity — and they are often combined in one plan.
How many sessions will I need?
HydraFacial can be a single, stand-alone session. Laser and skin boosters are usually recommended as a short programme a few weeks apart; you can begin in Istanbul and continue the programme on future visits.
How long does redness last after laser?
It depends on the type and intensity of the laser. After lighter treatments redness lasts from a few hours to 1–2 days, and after more intensive fractional treatments it can last 3–5 days — which is why your plan follows your social and travel calendar.
Can I have treatment before or after a sunny holiday?
Strong sun should be avoided for a few weeks before and after laser treatment, so we plan the dates around your holiday. HydraFacial and skin boosters are more flexible, although daily sun protection is always advised.
What are the possible side effects?
Temporary redness, sensitivity and mild swelling are common, and skin boosters can leave small bumps or bruises at the injection points. Rarely, temporary changes in pigmentation can follow laser treatment, especially with sun exposure. That is why settings are matched to your skin type and sun protection is part of the plan.
Is it suitable for darker or sensitive skin?
With the right treatment and settings, there are many suitable options. Because some lasers can increase the risk of pigment changes in darker skin types, your skin type is assessed with particular care and a small test area may be treated first. For sensitive skin, gentler protocols are preferred.
