Medical skin care consists of procedures performed with dermocosmetic products that aim to restore the skin's vitality and to cleanse it of factors that make it look dull, such as accumulated oil, blackheads and make-up residue.
Appearance has always been an important matter. Problems that occur in the skin, particularly with advancing age, have a negative effect on appearance. Skin renewal methods are gaining importance for this issue, which causes not only visual but also psychological problems. Skin care is an in-depth care procedure carried out by specialists with professional products, tailored to the skin's needs, to preserve the youthfulness and beauty of the skin.
The Skin Care Process
In medical skin care, the skin's needs are first determined through a skin analysis. The skin is cleansed of oil, make-up residue and other factors, creating a healthy environment for a herbal peel. The skin is cleared of dead cells with a gentle peel using herbal dermocosmetic products.
Steam therapy opens the pores and softens the skin. After blackheads and sebaceous plugs have been removed from the skin, high frequency is applied to provide deep disinfection.
The skin care procedure is completed with a moisturising and nourishing care mask. If needed during the process, additional care and treatment procedures can be applied according to the skin's structure. The following problems can be addressed with skin care:
* Clearing acne problems
* Pigmentation treatment
* Anti-ageing
* Lifting treatment (collagen care)
* Enlarged pores
* Pigment irregularity (skin discolouration)
* Special care for dry, combination and oily skin
* Comedone treatment
* Ozone care
* Facial massage
* Care for thickened skin
Who Should Have Skin Care?
Until the age of 28 the skin renews itself with each menstrual cycle, but after 28 it becomes necessary to nourish the skin with additional treatments and to have it cared for regularly. Starting skin care at an early age will help our skin look better and healthier in the future. Everyone over the age of 25 should have skin care.
It is not the person's age but the skin's age that matters most. For example, a 35-year-old who has regular skin care may have a skin age of 25. Protection against external factors that trigger skin ageing is only possible with regular skin care.
External Causes of Skin Damage
* Irregular sleep patterns
* Smoking and alcohol consumption
* Excessive fatigue and stress
* Hormonal changes
* Air pollution
* Fatty foods
What Is the Purpose of Skin Care?
Skin care is not just about looking beautiful; it is also a practice that helps protect our physical and psychological health. Healthy-looking skin makes an important contribution to our relationships with those around us, to high performance at work and to keeping your spirits high.
Knowing the skin's needs and applying the right treatment with the right products is something that should be left to a specialist. The most important point to remember is that incorrectly performed treatments can do more harm than good.
In general, there are 5 different skin types, as listed below:
1. Normal skin is generally a problem-free skin type. Its pores are closed, and it is radiant and smooth. No special care is needed.
2. In combination skin, the T-zone of the face is oily, whereas the other areas are mainly dry. Comedones and open pores are found in the oily areas, while pores in the dry areas are closed.
3. Dry skin looks thin and matt. The skin is prone to flaking. The pores are small and mostly closed. Because the skin is thinner and tighter, it is prone to wrinkling quickly.
4. In oily skin, the pores are open. Because the skin secretes a lot of oil it looks very shiny, and it has comedones and spots.
5. Mature skin: this is the skin type that appears as cell renewal slows with age. Because the shedding of cells also slows, the skin looks thicker and coarser than normal. In addition, as oil secretion slows, deep wrinkles can appear.
How Often Should Skin Care Be Done?
Skin care begins with the daily and weekly care that the person does at home, and then continues with professional, device-assisted skin care to maintain the health, beauty and youthfulness of the skin.
The aim of monthly and yearly professional care is to deliver care products to the deeper layers of the skin to meet its needs, thus maintaining the skin's youthfulness and freshness. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved with the products we use at home. Therefore, whatever our age and skin type, we all need professional care. Special yearly treatments are also carried out.
