Missing teeth affected my daily life for years. From the first exam my doctor’s care and expertise made me feel safe at every stage.

One year on and nobody can tell. The hairline they designed suits my face — it does not look transplanted.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.

What a dermatology package in Istanbul actually contains

A quoted price at Swedish Clinic covers the dermatologist's consultation, the skin analysis under magnification, the sessions written into your plan, your medication, the aftercare briefing, VIP airport transfers, a translator at every appointment and help booking a hotel near the clinic in Şişli. The flight and the hotel room itself are the only items you arrange yourself. Nothing is added once you arrive unless the examination changes the plan, in which case the revised price is written down before anything is done. Because skin treatment continues after you fly home, the plan you leave with covers the months that follow, not only the days you spend in Istanbul.

Why the same laser costs less in Turkey

The fractional laser platforms, the peel agents and the topical actives used here are the same products sold to clinics across Europe; a device does not become cheaper by crossing a border. What changes is the cost of the practice around it: rent, salaries, insurance premiums and how many sessions a clinic runs each week. A dermatologist treating skin daily spreads the cost of an expensive laser across far more patients than one who switches it on twice a month. That structural difference, together with the exchange rate, is why the same protocol on the same device costs a fraction of the Western European figure in Istanbul.

What dermatology can promise — and what it cannot

Some of this is honest bad news. Melasma is hormonally driven and sits deep: it is managed, not cured, and aggressive laser can make it rebound worse than it started. Acne scarring improves by degrees across several sessions and is never erased. Active acne responds over months rather than days, so the valuable part of your trip is the diagnosis and the first step, not a transformation. If you arrive with a fresh tan, an active skin infection or expectations a laser cannot meet, the dermatologist will say so and postpone. Sometimes the correct plan is a medical one with no laser in it at all.

Good to know

Dermatology in Turkey — FAQ

What patients ask us most about acne, pigmentation and laser skin treatment in Istanbul.

We quote after the skin has been examined, not before — the price depends on which treatment your skin actually needs and how many sessions the plan contains. Once the dermatologist has seen your skin you receive a written, all-inclusive figure with nothing added later. Running costs in Turkey are lower than in Western Europe, which is why the same devices cost a fraction here.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

A specialist dermatologist plans your treatment and performs it. Your skin is examined under magnification first, because the depth of a pigment or the stage of your acne decides the method. We work inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, with Temos accreditation and ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

Plan 2–4 days for acne or pigmentation treatment and 3–5 days for laser resurfacing. Everything is outpatient — there is no hospital stay. Dermatology carries on after you fly home, so the in-clinic stage is deliberately short and the rest of the plan is carried out at home under review.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

Ablative settings remove the outer layers, so expect redness, swelling and peeling for several days until the new skin settles. Non-ablative settings heat the dermis without breaking the surface — a smaller step forward for far less downtime. Your dermatologist picks the depth with your calendar in mind. Strict sun protection afterwards is part of the treatment, not an optional extra.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

It can be, with the right device settings and a dermatologist who adjusts them to your skin type. Melanin-rich skin reacts to heat with pigment shifts more readily, so we go gentler and slower. If you arrive with a fresh tan we usually postpone the laser rather than risk it — that decision is made at the examination.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

Acne responds over months rather than days: medical therapy and peels calm the active lesions first, and scar remodelling with laser or microneedling only begins once the skin is quiet. Superficial sun spots and post-acne marks can fade within weeks of a laser session. Melasma is the slow one — it is managed rather than cured, and it can return.

Still unsure? Ask this on WhatsApp

Yes. VIP airport transfers, a translator at every appointment, help booking a hotel near the clinic in Şişli, your medication and aftercare are included in the quoted package. The flight and the hotel room itself are the only things you arrange yourself. Because appointments are short, most patients have plenty of Istanbul left over.
