Laser Treatments: The Comprehensive Guide to Acne Scars and Skin Blemishes
Thanks to advancing dermatological technologies, many skin problems such as scars, blemishes, enlarged veins, pores, and wrinkles no longer have to be permanent. With the right patient selection and personalized planning, laser treatments deliver both aesthetic and medically successful results.
Istanbul offers a wide range of treatments for patients seeking laser therapy.
Each device in our clinic works specifically for different skin issues. The most commonly used lasers are BBL, IPL, Nd:YAG, and fractional laser.
Laser (BBL – IPL) for Spot Treatment
BBL laser spot treatment and IPL laser are the most preferred methods for sunspots, redness, rosacea, solar lentigo, spots on the back of the hands, and age spots. These devices target the affected cells, evening out skin tone, and promoting rejuvenation.
- BBL (BroadBand Light): New generation light technology; both lightens spots and offers skin rejuvenation effect.
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Safe and effective for superficial sunspots and tone inequalities.
Three to four laser treatments are usually sufficient for spot removal. Sun protection is essential after treatment.
Capillary Laser Treatment (Nd:YAG – IPL – BBL)
Capillary veins visible on the sides of the nose and cheeks can be cosmetically disturbing. The Nd:YAG vascular laser is the gold standard for deep, visible veins. IPL and BBL laser treatments are preferred for more superficial veins and redness. Laser treatment, dosage, and number of sessions are determined by a dermatologist based on skin type, vein size, and the severity of the condition.
After vascular laser treatment, there will be no problems that will prevent daily life, other than slight redness.
Acne Scars, Pores and Wrinkles (Fractional Laser)
Fractional laser is the most effective method for acne scars, large pores and fine wrinkles .
- It increases collagen production by creating micro damage.
- With acne scar laser treatment, the skin becomes smoother and firmer.
- It needs regular sessions for recovery.
Under-Eye Dark Circles and Uneven Skin Tone
BBL and IPL lasers are particularly effective for under-eye circles and overall skin tone unevenness. Regular applications can help achieve a brighter, healthier appearance.
Laser Treatment Process and Recovery
- The session duration is between 20–45 minutes.
- Crusts may form after the procedure, and it is very important to care for these crusts with creams recommended by the dermatologist.
- For best results, sun protection is essential.
Recovery After Fractional Laser Procedure
- Do not let water touch your face for the first 24 hours.
- Do not apply any acidic products (AHA, BHA, retinol) to your skin for 3 days.
- Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas and intense exercise for the first 48 hours.
- Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, use a sunscreen with SPF 50+.
- If crusts form, do not pick them off, allow the skin to renew itself.
- Use recommended creams regularly.
