Skin rejuvenation covers a range of treatments that aim to improve tissue quality, complexion and skin texture by renewing the superficial or intermediate layers of the skin in a controlled manner. Chemical peels, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and device-supported treatments belong to this group.
Dr. Doğan Uysal decides on the most suitable method or combination for each visitor based on their skin type, concerns and goals. With the right treatment plan, many issues such as acne scars, pigmentation, enlarged pores and dull complexion can be addressed effectively. Results vary from person to person. Any treatment plan is subject to physician assessment.
Treatment Options
Chemical Peel
Acid-based solutions remove the dead cell layer of the skin, revealing a newer, more radiant and smoother surface. Superficial (glycolic, mandelic acid) and medium-depth (TCA) options are available.
PRP (Rejuvenation with Your Own Blood)
Platelet-rich plasma obtained from a person's own blood renews skin cells, boosts collagen synthesis and improves skin quality thanks to growth factors.
Combination Treatments
Combinations such as peel with mesotherapy, or PRP with a skin booster, tend to give more pronounced and faster results than any single treatment used alone. A personalised protocol is planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does peeling occur after a chemical peel?
+
It depends on the depth of the treatment. With superficial peels, mild flaking may occur; with medium-depth peels, 5–7 days of noticeable peeling can be expected. Sun protection is important throughout this period.
How does the PRP treatment work?
+
A small blood sample is taken, processed with a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and injected into the skin. Since the person's own blood is used, an allergic reaction is not expected; nevertheless, as with any treatment, possible risks are assessed during the examination.
How many sessions are needed?
+
It depends on the type and depth of the concern. Chemical peels are generally applied over 3–6 sessions, and PRP over 3–4 sessions. Sessions are usually spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Which season is best for the treatment?
+
Autumn and winter are preferred for chemical peels because sun exposure can affect the outcome. PRP can be performed year-round. The most suitable timing is decided during the consultation.

What is PRP skin rejuvenation?
+
In PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy, growth factors obtained from the patient's own blood are injected into the skin. It stimulates collagen production, evens skin tone and improves overall skin quality. Because the content is autologous, the risk of allergy is very low.
When are the results of skin rejuvenation seen?

After a chemical peel, new skin emerges within 7–14 days once shedding is complete. With PRP, improvement is typically seen within 4–6 weeks. In most patients, noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture is observed after 2–3 sessions.
Can I be exposed to the sun after skin rejuvenation?
