Which Diseases and Conditions Are Treated?

Our Dermatology Department treats a wide range of diseases to protect and improve the skin health of patients of all ages. The main conditions we manage within our skin disease treatments include:

• Acne: A common condition from adolescence to adulthood involving the inflammation of sebaceous glands in the skin. Acne treatment in our Istanbul-based clinic is managed with personalized medical approaches.
• Psoriasis: A chronic disease causing red lesions covered with silvery scales on the skin. We apply modern treatment protocols to improve the patient's quality of life.
• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis and Contact Allergies): Treatment of allergic reactions characterized by dryness, itching, and redness on the skin, seen in infancy, childhood, and adulthood.
• Hair and Nail Diseases: Diagnosis and treatment of hair loss (alopecia), scalp dandruff, nail fungus, ingrown nails, and nail deformities.
• Vitiligo: Medical follow-up and treatment of white patches caused by the loss of color pigments in the skin.
• Fungal and Parasitic Diseases: Ensuring rapid control of fungal skin infections and parasitic diseases like scabies.
• Hives (Urticaria): Investigating and treating the causes of sudden, itchy, and raised rashes on the skin.
• Venereal Diseases: Diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, strictly adhering to confidentiality principles.

Diagnostic Methods

Right treatment begins with the right diagnosis. In our clinic, which serves at the standards of a top dermatology hospital in Istanbul, we use modern diagnostic methods that go beyond visual examination:

• Dermoscopy: Allows the skin surface to be examined by magnifying it with a special lens system. It is the gold standard, especially for mole (nevus) tracking, skin cancer screening, and early diagnosis of suspicious lesions.
• Wood's Lamp Examination: An examination performed in a dark room using a special ultraviolet light source. It is used in the diagnosis of fungal infections, vitiligo, and certain pigmentation disorders.
• Patch Test: An allergy test applied to the back to determine the exact cause of contact allergies (contact dermatitis). This test identifies which substances the patient is sensitive to.

Treatment Methods and Procedures

In addition to treating diseases, our department offers non-surgical, innovative solutions for your medical aesthetic needs in Istanbul. In medical aesthetic procedures, no tissue is cut, and the healing process is much faster and more comfortable. The main procedures performed in our clinic include:

• Botox Procedures: Applied to eliminate facial expression wrinkles and treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in areas like armpits, hands, and feet.
• PRP Applications: Injecting platelet-rich plasma obtained from the person's own blood under the skin. It is frequently preferred for skin rejuvenation, blemish treatment, and stopping hair loss.
• Mesotherapy and Mesolifting: Delivering mixtures of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes needed by the skin under the skin using micro-needles. Effective in facial rejuvenation and hair treatments.
• Salmon DNA Youth Vaccine: An intensive cell renewal treatment that increases the skin's moisture capacity, restores elasticity, and smooths fine wrinkles.
• Dermal Fillers: Reliable fillers containing hyaluronic acid are used to restore volume loss in the face and define lip, chin, and cheek contours.
• Peeling and Acne Scar Treatments: The appearance of skin blemishes, sun damage, and acne scars is reduced by renewing the upper layer of the skin.
