What is a facial at a doctor's practice?
Skin care at a doctor’s practice means examining the skin first and planning the cleansing and care around that skin. At the practice in Muratpaşa, Antalya, Dr. Oya Oylum Argun plans facials and deep cleansing. A skin analysis is done before the treatment.
What does deep cleansing do?
Deep cleansing removes the oil, dead cells and blackheads that clog pores, without harming the skin. A blocked pore can be where a spot begins. Cleansing reduces this build-up and makes the surface of the skin look smoother.
The colour of a blackhead does not come from dirt. When the opening of a pore stays open, the oil inside meets the air and darkens. This is why washing the face often does not clear blackheads on its own.
Why is squeezing spots and blackheads at home not advised?
Squeezing at home can push inflammation deeper and leave a lasting mark. Pressure from fingernails damages the pore wall and raises the risk of infection. At the practice, cleansing is done with sterile equipment and with pressure adjusted to the condition of the skin.
Is skin care the same for everyone?
No, it changes with your skin type and how your skin is on the day. Oily skin prone to blocked pores and sensitive skin prone to redness do not tolerate the same treatment. If there is rosacea or active inflamed acne, some steps are not done or are postponed.
How often is skin care done?
Medical skin care makes sense when it is done regularly; roughly once a month, about every 28 days, is recommended. The interval that suits your skin is set at the consultation.
Other skin treatments at the practice often start with skin care too, because the treatment is applied to cleansed skin. Skin care alone can also be done before treatments that are performed on their own, such as an enzyme peel.
What should you watch for after a facial?
Short-lived redness may appear after the treatment. Sun protection matters in this period, because the skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet light after care. Avoiding heavy make-up and irritating products on the same day helps the skin settle.
Can I have deep cleansing while I have spots?
It depends on the type of spot. Blackheads and whiteheads can be reduced with cleansing. If there are inflamed, painful, red spots, cleansing can irritate the skin further; in that case the spots are treated first.
What is the difference between skin care and skin renewal?
Skin care clears build-up on the surface and protects the skin. Skin renewal uses microneedling or chemical peels to stimulate the skin’s own repair and works deeper. Which one is needed depends on the type of concern.
Cleansing and skin care can be done at any time of year. Because the sun in Antalya is strong all year round, sun protection after care matters in every season.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a skin analysis done before skin care?
Your skin type decides whether a product will suit your skin. The same product does not give the same result on oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin. On sensitive skin some ingredients can cause irritation, and on skin with acne, heavy products can increase pimples. At the practice in Muratpaşa, skin analysis is done with the assessment of Specialist Dermatologist Dr. Oya Oylum Argun.
Can pregnant women have skin care?
Gentle care, yes; cleansing, moisturising and sun protection continue during pregnancy too. For any procedure using a device or chemical ingredients, consult your doctor first. Creams containing retinol and deep peels done at the clinic are left until after birth. The sun increases pregnancy-related spots the most, so broad spectrum sunscreen is important in this period.
Should white bumps on the face be squeezed?
No, squeezing these bumps or trying to open them with a needle can cause scarring, inflammation and infection. A white, hard bump around the eyes is often a small keratin cyst left under the skin, and it does not come out when squeezed. Heavy creams can increase these bumps. The procedure for each bump depends on its type and is planned at the consultation.
What should I do if my face suddenly turns red and itchy?
First, stop the product you started using in recent days. Wash the face with lukewarm water without rubbing, apply a cold compress for a few minutes, and do not try any new product. Swelling of the lips, eyelids or tongue, or shortness of breath, is an emergency. If the redness does not go away within a few days, an examination is needed.
Should I use moisturiser on oily skin?
Yes, oily skin uses moisturiser too. Oil is the sebum the skin produces, while moisture is the water content of the upper layer. Skin can be oily and short of water at the same time. When moisturiser is stopped, the skin may increase its oil production to make up for the water loss. On oily skin, light-textured products are comfortable to use.
