It offers effective solutions to many skin problems such as acne, acne scars, skin spots, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and tone irregularities.
This professional care method cleanses the skin from dirt, oil, makeup residues, and dead cells, allowing the skin to breathe. During the treatment process, supportive applications such as Chemical Peeling, Mesotherapy, botox, and laser treatment can also be used. Thus, the skin gains a brighter, more vibrant, and healthier appearance.
Medical skin care is a comprehensive treatment program that uses highly concentrated active ingredients, supports skin integrity, and improves its appearance. This application performed under dermatologist supervision not only solves major skin problems but also makes it easier to take precautions against potential issues.
What Are the Benefits of Medical Skin Care?
The benefits that medical skin care applied at Estepera Polyclinic provides to your skin are quite comprehensive. When done regularly, it both protects skin health and improves aesthetic appearance:
Reduces Oil and Dirt Formation on Skin
Oil metabolism occurring on the skin surface and in cells causes accumulation in pores over time. Medical skin care slows down oil and dirt formation by deeply cleansing these accumulations. Especially in individuals with oily skin type, sebum production is controlled with regular care. Carbon Peeling application is particularly effective in regulating oil balance.
By getting rid of oil and dirt appearance under the skin, the skin structure is renewed and gains a clean form. This way, the skin is supported to stay healthier in daily life processes.
Ensures Pore Cleansing
Medical skin care cleanses the inside of pores on the skin surface, preventing their recurrence and enlargement, making the skin look smoother. Vacuum systems and special solutions used at Estepera Polyclinic gently clean blackheads, oil plugs, and dirt deposits in pores.
By eliminating pores, the overall texture of the skin improves. Cleansed pores tighten and contribute to a younger-looking skin. When this process is supported with laser treatment, the pore-tightening effect becomes more permanent.
Helps Skin Repair
Medical skin care accelerates the repair of cleansed skin structure, keeping cells that form the skin alive, and contains active ingredients that stimulate skin renewal. With Mesotherapy application, skin cells are nourished while vitamin and mineral support is provided.
Damage caused by sun damage, environmental factors, and aging heals by supporting the natural repair mechanism. Collagen and elastin production is increased, preserving the skin’s natural structure. Wrinkles caused by muscle movements are also minimized with Botox application.
Stops the Progression of Skin Spots
With medical skin care, tone irregularities are eliminated and skin color is clarified. Sun spots, age spots, hormonal spots, and post-acne hyperpigmentation are treated. Chemical Peeling applications remove spotted cells in the upper layer of the skin.
The skin color looks more vibrant and healthy, gaining a homogeneous appearance. With regular sessions, the tone of spots lightens and new spot formation is prevented. When supported with Laser treatment, the reduction of melanin accumulation accelerates and results become more effective.
Effective in Skin Revitalization
Tired, dull, and lifeless-looking skin is the result of dead cell accumulation and insufficient oxygenation. Medical skin care renews the upper layer of the skin, allowing fresh cells to surface. Skin cleansed of worn-out skin cells looks brighter and more aesthetic.
Special massage techniques and LED light therapy applied at Estepera Polyclinic increase blood circulation. Thus, the skin’s natural radiance returns and a healthy glow is gained. With Mesotherapy, the revitalization effect is supported by meeting the skin’s vitamin needs.
Reduces Wrinkles
Medical skin care is very important in reducing wrinkles that form on the skin, especially under the eyes. Fine lines and wrinkles are the most obvious signs of aging. It helps reduce these signs by increasing the skin’s moisture balance and supporting collagen synthesis.
Especially when combined with botox application for wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth corners, the anti-aging effect becomes more pronounced. With regular care sessions, the skin’s elasticity is preserved and a youthful appearance continues for a long time.
How is Medical Skin Care Performed?
Medical skin care applied at Estepera Polyclinic is a professional process and usually takes 45-60 minutes. Medical skin care stages are applied carefully and meticulously. The process is carried out with professional experts and tools.
1. Skin Analysis and Consultation
In the first stage, the person must be physically examined. Because the formula of the skin structure may not have suitable qualities for the medical process. Therefore, control is the most important point of this process. A detailed skin analysis is performed by a specialist dermatologist and skin type is determined.
Existing skin problems are identified and a personalized treatment plan is created. The products to be used are selected as a result of determining your skin type. According to this analysis, the application method is planned specifically for the person.
2. Cleansing and Preparation
Before starting skin care, hair is moved away from the face and skin is cleansed of makeup. Detailed cleansing is done with oil-based makeup remover and gel/foam cleanser. Products that do not tighten the skin and do not cause allergic reactions are used.
Makeup, dirt, and oil residues are meticulously removed. This stage is of critical importance for subsequent processes to be more effective.
3. Peeling (Exfoliation) Process
The dead cell layer of the skin is peeled off with Chemical Peeling or mechanical peeling method. After this process, the skin is cleansed of dead skin and blood circulation is increased. Peeling care stimulates skin renewal and facilitates pore opening.
Peeling process applied with vacuum feature cleanses the skin from dirt. The skin is deeply cleansed with special content solutions, creams, and serums.
4. Steam and Vacuum Application
In the first stage, the person’s skin is soothed with steam. Steam application with high-tech devices allows cleansing and nourishing substances to penetrate the skin more effectively. A special steam device is applied to expand and soften the skin’s pores.
Afterwards, the cleansed skin is purified with special vacuum materials. This way, accumulated dirt and oil are cleaned. Vacuum systems used at Estepera Polyclinic purify pores from blackheads, dead cells, and other toxic substances.
5. Extraction (Blackhead Cleaning)
Acne, sebaceous glands, and blackheads are cleaned by an expert aesthetician with sterilized medical tools. This process is done carefully to prevent skin damage. Especially clogged pores in the nose, forehead, and chin areas are professionally cleaned.
6. Serum and Mask Application
Special solutions suitable for skin type and skin needs are allowed to penetrate under the skin through vacuum effect and evaporation. Thus, oiliness in the T-zone is balanced, the skin’s self-renewal is stimulated, and a general moisturizing effect is provided.
Active substances such as vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid reach the depths of the skin with Mesotherapy. Nourishing and moisturizing masks are applied according to the skin’s needs.
7. LED Light Therapy and Final Stage
In the final stage, LED light suitable for the skin structure is applied. Blue light is suitable for oily, porous, and acne-prone skin, red light is suitable for skin with obvious aging effects, wrinkles, and intense sun damage.
After the procedure, special protective cream is applied to the skin and the procedure is completed. Medical skin care is a comprehensive process that ensures the skin looks healthy, vibrant, and radiant.
What Happens Before and After Medical Skin Care?
Preparation Before Medical Skin Care
Before medical skin care, the skin must definitely be clean. Heavy makeup should be avoided before coming to Estepera Polyclinic. Using products with strong acid content or peeling should be avoided a few days before the procedure.
If there is any wound, acne inflammation, or active infection on the skin, the procedure should be postponed. It is important to inform your doctor about the medications and skin care products you use during the consultation. Especially if medications like Roaccutane are being used, it must be mentioned.
Change After Medical Skin Care
Immediately after the procedure, slight pinkness may be seen on the skin, but this is a natural reaction and disappears within a few hours. Pores significantly shrink and the skin gains a smoother texture. The skin’s brightness and vitality are immediately noticeable.
Within the first 24 hours, the skin feels more sensitive and moist. If Chemical Peeling has been applied, slight peeling may be seen within a few days, this is normal. After care done with regular sessions, skin tone equalizes, spots decrease, and overall skin health improves.
Results last longer in procedures combined with laser treatment or botox. After 4-6 sessions of regular care, permanent improvements are observed in the skin’s structure.
What Should Be Considered After Medical Care?
After medical skin care, some rules must be followed to protect the skin and ensure the obtained results last for a long time:
Recommendations for the First 24-48 Hours
After care, the skin is sensitive and pores are open. Therefore, products that will clog pores such as foundation, powder, and concealer should not be used on the day of the procedure and the next day. If possible, makeup should not be applied.
Intense physical activities and sports that will cause excessive sweating should be avoided. When washing the face on the first day, gentle cleansers should be used and rubbing movements should be avoided.
Sun Protection
Since the skin is sensitized, it should not be exposed to sunlight, and in mandatory situations, high-protection (SPF 50+) sunscreen should be used. Sunscreen should be renewed every 2-3 hours. If possible, a hat and sunglasses should be worn.
If Chemical Peeling or laser treatment has been applied, sun protection becomes even more critical. Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least 2-4 weeks.
Skin Care Routine
Using care products suitable for your skin structure recommended by your Estepera Polyclinic specialists is sufficient. Do not consider skin care product recommendations from people other than your doctor.
Regular moisturizer should be used to maintain the skin’s moisture balance. Especially serums containing hyaluronic acid are effective in meeting moisture needs after care. In care supported with Mesotherapy, recommended vitamin serums should be used.
Things to Avoid
Excessive heat applications such as hot shower, sauna, Turkish bath, and steam room should be avoided for at least 3-5 days. Pool and sea water should not be preferred in the first week as they can irritate the skin.
Alcohol and cigarettes slow down the skin’s healing process and can negatively affect the obtained results. Healthy nutrition, plenty of water consumption, and regular sleep support skin renewal.
If botox or filler has been applied to your skin, facial massage should not be done for the first 24 hours after the procedure and you should not lie face down. You should regularly attend the control appointments recommended by your doctor.
Regular Care Schedule
Regular sessions are important to see the full effect of medical skin care. Generally, it is recommended to have care once a month. This period can vary between 21-30 days depending on skin type and needs.
Your specialists at Estepera Polyclinic will create the most suitable care schedule for you and recommend additional applications such as Chemical Peeling, Mesotherapy, botox, or laser treatment when necessary. With regular follow-up, your skin health is protected and signs of aging are minimized.
Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Skin Care
1-Is Medical Skin Care a Painful Procedure?
No, medical skin care is definitely not a painful procedure. During the procedure applied at Estepera Polyclinic, no pain or discomfort occurs. The procedure is performed completely comfortably. Only slight pressure may be felt during blackhead cleaning, but this is not uncomfortable.
If Chemical Peeling is applied, there may be a slight tingling or warming sensation, but this passes within a few minutes. In procedures combined with laser treatment or botox application, local anesthetic cream can be used. Generally, patients feel comfortable during the procedure and even find it relaxing.
2-Is There Redness After Medical Skin Care? When Does It Return to Normal?
After medical skin care, there may be only slight, barely noticeable pinkness or redness. This is a natural reaction and usually disappears within 2-4 hours. Redness that would disturb the patient does not occur.
In people with sensitive skin type or after intense Chemical Peeling application, redness may be slightly more pronounced, but this also returns to normal within 24 hours. This effect can be minimized by using soothing creams recommended by your Estepera Polyclinic specialists after the procedure. Cold compress application also accelerates the disappearance of redness. You can return to your normal routine the next day and apply light makeup.
3-Which Age Group and Skin Types Can Medical Skin Care Be Applied To?
Medical skin care is generally a safe procedure that can be applied to all skin types and all age groups. All individuals over 18 years old can benefit from this care. However, there is great benefit in applying it at regular intervals especially to people with oily skin, large pores, and acne.
It can be applied for protective and preventive purposes in the 20s, for anti-aging in the 30s, and for renewal and repair purposes at 40+ ages.

4-How Often Should Medical Skin Care Be Done? How Many Sessions Are Required?
Medical skin care is an application that needs to be done regularly. The general recommendation is to have it done once a month or at 21-30 day intervals. Because makeup, dirt, dust, and external factors accumulate on the skin over time, and daily skin care is not sufficient for deep cleaning.
For optimal results, it is recommended to have 4-6 sessions initially. Afterwards, skin health is maintained with monthly maintenance sessions. However, this period may vary depending on skin condition, age, season, and intensity of skin problems.
It can be applied more frequently (every 2-3 weeks) for oily and acne-prone skin, and less frequently (every 5-6 weeks) for dry and mature skin. After the skin analysis performed at Estepera Polyclinic, a personalized care schedule is created for you. When additional applications such as Chemical Peeling or laser treatment are used, session intervals are determined by your doctor.
5-What is the Difference Between Medical Skin Care and Normal Skin Care?
There are important differences between medical skin care and cosmetic (normal) skin care:
Medical skin care is performed under doctor supervision with medical products and professional devices. It is applied by dermatologists or specialist aestheticians in healthcare institutions like Estepera Polyclinic. It aims not only for superficial cleansing of the skin but for deep treatment. It may include medical procedures such as Chemical Peeling, Mesotherapy, botox, and laser treatment.
Normal skin care is done in beauty centers, is more for relaxation and basic cleansing purposes. Cosmetic products are used and its therapeutic feature is limited. It does not offer solutions to serious skin problems such as acne, spots, and wrinkles.
Medical skin care is done with a personalized treatment plan and its results are supported by clinically proven methods. It gets to the root of skin problems and offers permanent solutions. Normal care provides temporary relief and cleansing. Therefore, medical skin care should be preferred for skin health.
