What is Acne Treatment?

Professional acne treatment combines LED light therapy, chemical peels, and medical-grade extractions to clear active breakouts, kill bacteria, and prevent scarring—delivering results beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Acne treatment requires consistency—most protocols need 6-8 sessions for optimal results. Book a treatment package for significant savings and better outcomes. Turkey's pricing makes full treatment programs affordable.

⚠️ Insider Note: Bring your current skincare products to show your dermatologist. Some ingredients may be causing or worsening your acne. Prescription-strength treatments available in Turkey may clear stubborn cases faster than anything available at home.
