Acne is driven by four linked factors: excess sebum, blocked follicles, Cutibacterium acnes and inflammation. A dermatologist examines your skin, identifies which of them dominates, and builds the plan around it — topical or oral medical therapy to reduce sebum and inflammation, salicylic or glycolic peels to clear the follicle, and laser or microneedling once the active lesions settle to remodel scarring. Because acne responds over months rather than days, the in-clinic stage is short and the plan continues at home under review.
Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

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.

Everyone was so smiley and welcoming from the moment I landed. Istanbul is beautiful and the service was first class.

Clean, modern hospital and a team that answered every message within minutes. I already recommended them to two friends.
🇷🇴 RomaniaNo, and a clinic that promises that is overselling. Active acne responds over two to four months of consistent treatment. We use the days you are in Istanbul for the in-clinic work — peels, laser, extractions — and send you home with a prescribed plan that we review remotely.
Usually not in the same session. Resurfacing inflamed skin can worsen pigmentation, so we settle the active lesions first and treat the scarring afterwards, often on a short second visit three to six months later.
Yes, with the right settings. Deeper phototypes carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, so we favour gentler peels, conservative laser parameters and a test patch before a full session.
The oral medicines used for severe acne are not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and skin with an active infection or recent sunburn needs to settle before any procedure. The dermatologist will tell you that at the consultation rather than proceed anyway.
