Changes in colour after a breakout and indentations in the skin are different concerns. Before asking which procedure to choose for acne scars, active acne, marks and scarring need to be assessed separately. When arranging a dermatologist appointment in Istanbul, aim to understand your current skin condition and agree on a practical plan.
Why separate active acne from scar treatment?
If new spots are still developing, controlling acne comes first. Scar treatment depends on the scar pattern, skin characteristics and previous treatments. Procedures such as lasers are not equally suitable for every scar, and more than one approach may be needed. Someone else’s successful procedure does not predict your result.
Common skincare mistakes
Picking spots and harsh scrubbing can increase irritation and the risk of marks or scars. A simple routine, gentle cleanser and products labelled non-comedogenic may help. Introducing several new products at once also makes it harder to identify which one is causing a problem.
What should you bring to the consultation?
- Note when the problem started and which areas are affected.
- List medicines and skincare products you use.
- Describe treatments you have tried and problems such as irritation.
- Discuss pain, recurring breakouts and effects on daily life as well as scars.
When should results be reviewed?
Acne treatment does not always produce an immediate change. Clarify how to use prescribed products and when to return. Painful, deep or scarring acne deserves assessment rather than repeatedly changing skincare products.
