What is Skin Laser Treatment?

Skin laser treatment is a method used to treat various skin problems by targeting the skin surface and lower layers. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci, with her extensive knowledge and experience in this field, ensures that laser treatments give the most efficient results. Laser beams penetrate under the skin and increase collagen production, thus giving the skin a younger and healthier appearance. Dr. Özekinci plans each stage of the laser treatment individually, ensuring the best healing of the treated area.

This treatment provides solutions to skin problems such as wrinkles, acne scars, sunspots and pigmentation problems. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci maximizes the effect of laser treatments, especially with her expertise in skin rejuvenation and aesthetic treatments. Laser treatment is generally minimally invasive, meaning it works without damaging the skin surface, which speeds up the healing process.

Different laser types can be used for different skin problems and the treatment process is planned individually. Dr. Özekinci chooses the most appropriate treatment method for each patient, taking into account the aesthetic appearance while improving skin health.

Preparation Process Before Skin Laser Treatment

There are some preparations that need to be taken into consideration before skin laser treatment. First, your skin type is determined through an evaluation with a dermatologist and treatment is decided. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci, taking your skin type into consideration, chooses the most suitable laser method for treatment and plans your treatment process individually. Laser treatment is most effective when there is no infection in the skin, so any infections or wounds on the skin should be checked before starting treatment.

Before treatment, sun exposure should be avoided as sunlight can increase skin pigmentation and increase skin sensitivity after treatment. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci provides detailed information to her patients about the use of sunscreen and sun protection before the treatment, ensuring a faster recovery process after the treatment.

Healing Process After Skin Laser Treatment

After skin laser treatment, the healing process is usually quick, but this process may vary from person to person. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci offers her patients a detailed recovery plan after the treatment to help them get through the process more easily. In the first days, there may be redness, slight swelling and a feeling of heat in the treated area; this is a natural result of the laser light working on the skin. These symptoms pass within a few days and the healing process usually progresses quickly.

The skin begins to regenerate after the treatment, collagen production increases and the skin gains a healthier appearance. Dr. Özekinci monitors the healing process in the treated area and recommends follow-up sessions to ensure patients receive the best results. Healing time varies depending on the size of the area treated, the type of laser, and the depth of the skin problem. For example, recovery time for CO2 laser treatment may be longer, while healing may be faster for superficial treatments such as IPL laser.

During the healing process, slight crusting, peeling and redness may occur on the skin, but this is temporary and may continue until the skin is completely healed. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci also gives important advice to her patients about post-treatment care, ensuring that their skin heals as quickly as possible and that the treatment results are permanent.

Things to Consider After Skin Laser Treatment

After skin laser treatment, some important points should be taken into consideration for faster and healthier skin recovery. First, exposure to direct sunlight to the treated area should be avoided. Before going out in the sun, a broad spectrum sunscreen should be used and the treated area should be covered to protect it. There may be slight crusting or peeling in the area after treatment, so any intervention to the treated skin area should be avoided.

While the skin is healing, moisturizing products recommended by the doctor should be used to ensure that the skin remains moist and healthy after treatment. Since the skin will be extra sensitive after the treatment, heavy make-up and chemical products that may irritate the skin should be avoided. Rubbing or peeling the treated area should be strictly avoided as it may cause permanent scarring on the skin.

Suitable Candidates for Skin Laser Treatment

Skin laser treatment is generally suitable for people with healthy skin. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci evaluates each individual's skin structure and problems in detail by performing a skin examination before starting the treatment. Anyone with skin problems such as acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation problems and sagging can benefit from laser treatment. However, some situations may not be suitable for laser treatment. Laser treatment is not recommended, especially for people with active skin infections, skin cancer or conditions such as herpes.

Dr. Özekinci carefully evaluates your skin condition before starting the treatment and decides whether laser treatment is suitable for you. While laser treatment generally gives better results in light-skinned individuals, treatment should be done more carefully in dark-skinned individuals. In dark-skinned individuals, special laser types may be preferred to prevent post-treatment pigment changes. The suitability of skin laser treatment is determined as a result of skin examination and evaluation by a specialist dermatologist. Since each individual's skin structure is different, it is important to get professional advice before starting treatment. Dr. Melda Özekinci ensures that the treatment process progresses in the most effective way by preparing special treatment plans for each patient.

Skin Laser Treatment Prices and Package Options

Prices for skin laser treatment vary depending on the type of laser used, the area treated and the number of sessions. For example, IPL laser therapy used for superficial treatments can often be more affordable, while deep treatments such as CO2 laser may be more costly. Treatment prices may also vary depending on the application area and the size of the skin problems.

Some clinics may offer packages for multiple sessions, making treatment costs more affordable. To get more detailed information about skin laser treatment prices, it is important to consult a dermatologist before deciding on treatment. Experts will determine the most suitable treatment method for your skin type and needs and will convey the cost of the treatment process in the most accurate way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Laser Treatment

Frequently asked questions about skin laser treatment include treatment duration, recovery process, pain, and prices. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci informs her patients at every stage of laser treatment and shapes the treatment process according to their needs. Many people wonder whether laser treatment is painful. Dr. Melda Özekinci states that laser treatment is often performed with local anesthesia or cooling applications, so no pain is felt during the treatment. During treatment, some patients may experience a slight warming sensation or a minor stinging sensation, but this discomfort is usually minimal.

The question of whether there will be any scars after treatment is frequently asked. Specialist Dr. Melda Özekinci states that if laser treatment is performed by a specialist dermatologist, it usually does not leave any scars, but there may be slight redness and peeling after the treatment. Since laser treatment provides effective results by targeting the skin surface, the risk of any permanent scars after the treatment is significantly reduced.

Skin changes after treatment may vary depending on the type of laser used and the depth of the skin problem. Dr. Melda Özekinci emphasizes the importance of adhering to the doctor's recommendations after treatment, considering that the healing process of each individual may be different. The skin regeneration and healing process usually begins within a few days, but may take several weeks for more noticeable results.

The Importance of Choosing a Specialist in Laser Skin Treatment

Choosing the right specialist is of great importance for successful skin laser treatment. The effectiveness of laser treatment depends on expertise and experience. Choosing the right laser device by the dermatologist ensures that the treatment process progresses smoothly.
