BODY SKIN CARE
BODY SKIN CARE IN ANTALYA
Body skin care refers to professional care planned according to the condition and characteristics of the skin on areas such as the arms, back, abdomen, legs and other appropriate parts of the body. The skin in these areas may differ from facial skin in thickness, oil production, exposure to friction and response to environmental factors.
Professional body skin care may include cleansing, controlled exfoliation, hydration and other supportive skin care steps selected according to individual needs.
At Dr. Seckin Oksar’s practice in Antalya, body skin care is planned after evaluating the skin, relevant medical history, current products and any previous procedures affecting the treatment area.
WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL BODY SKIN CARE?
Professional body skin care focuses on maintaining the surface condition and skin barrier of selected body areas.
A session may involve different steps depending on whether the skin is dry, oily, rough, sensitive or affected by surface congestion.
Possible stages can include:
- Skin assessment.
- Cleansing.
- Controlled exfoliation where appropriate.
- Hydration.
- Moisturising.
- Guidance for home skin care.
These stages do not form a mandatory protocol.
Professional care should be adapted to the characteristics of the selected area and the condition of the skin on the day of treatment.
HOW IS BODY SKIN DIFFERENT FROM FACIAL SKIN?
Skin characteristics vary across the body.
Some areas contain more sebaceous glands, while others are naturally drier. Skin thickness and exposure to clothing, friction and shaving also vary.
For example, the back may have different oil production from the arms or lower legs.
Body skin can also be affected by:
- Frequent showering.
- Hot water.
- Friction from clothing.
- Shaving.
- Environmental exposure.
- Low humidity.
- Sun exposure.
- Skin care products.
- Exercise and sweating.
For this reason, the same skin care approach should not automatically be applied to every body area.
WHO MAY CONSIDER PROFESSIONAL BODY SKIN CARE?
Body skin care may be considered by individuals who would like professional support for general skin maintenance in selected areas.
Reasons for assessment can include:
- Dry or rough-feeling skin.
- Surface flaking.
- Uneven surface texture.
- Areas affected by frequent friction.
- Oily skin on the back or chest.
- Visible surface congestion.
- A need to review home body skin care.
These findings do not always represent cosmetic concerns alone.
Persistent itching, unexplained rashes, open lesions, infections or other ongoing skin changes require appropriate medical evaluation before routine body skin care.
HOW IS BODY SKIN ASSESSED?
Before professional care, the selected skin area is examined.
The assessment may include:
- Hydration.
- Surface texture.
- Oil distribution.
- Sensitivity.
- Existing irritation.
- Pigmentation changes.
- Scars or wounds.
- Current cosmetic products.
- Previous procedures.
Medical history can also be relevant.
Medication or topical products may alter skin sensitivity, while previous cosmetic procedures can influence how the skin responds to exfoliation or other forms of care.
The plan is therefore adjusted according to the skin rather than determined only by the body area.
CLEANSING DURING BODY SKIN CARE
Cleansing helps remove sweat, oil, cosmetic products and environmental residue from the skin surface.
The cleansing method should be selected according to skin type and the area being treated.
Repeated use of harsh cleansers or very hot water can contribute to dryness in some individuals.
Skin that already feels dry, tight or irritated may require a gentler approach.
Appropriate cleansing should remove surface residue without unnecessarily disrupting the skin barrier.
EXFOLIATION IN BODY SKIN CARE
Exfoliation removes cells from the outer surface of the skin.
It may be considered for selected areas when suitable, particularly where surface roughness or accumulation of dead skin cells is present.
However, stronger or more frequent exfoliation is not automatically more appropriate.
Excessive exfoliation can contribute to:
- Redness.
- Dryness.
- Irritation.
- Increased sensitivity.
- Changes in pigmentation in susceptible skin.
The method and intensity should therefore correspond to skin characteristics and tolerance.
DRY AND OILY BODY SKIN
Professional care is selected according to the characteristics of the area being treated.
Dry body skin
Dry body skin can feel rough, tight, itchy or flaky. Areas such as the arms and lower legs may be particularly prone to dryness in some individuals. Professional care for dry skin generally requires attention to both cleansing and hydration. Excessively aggressive exfoliation may worsen dryness when the skin barrier is already compromised. Moisturising is therefore an important part of body skin maintenance, and products used at home should also be reviewed if dryness repeatedly returns.
Oily body areas
Certain body areas, particularly the back and chest, can have greater oil production. Professional care in these areas may focus on appropriate cleansing and selected surface exfoliation when suitable. However, visible bumps, inflamed lesions or persistent acne-like changes should not automatically be managed as routine cosmetic congestion. Medical assessment may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate approach.
Professional body skin care should remain separate from the diagnosis or treatment of medical skin conditions.
BODY SKIN CARE AND THE SKIN BARRIER
The skin barrier helps limit water loss and protects the body from external irritants.
Frequent washing, harsh cleansers, environmental exposure and excessive exfoliation can affect this barrier.
Body skin care therefore involves more than making the surface feel smoother.
An appropriate routine should also avoid unnecessary irritation and support hydration according to the needs of the skin.
This is especially important for skin that is naturally dry or sensitive.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE CONSIDERED?
Body skin care may be planned for different regions depending on individual requirements.
These can include:
- Back.
- Shoulders.
- Arms.
- Abdomen.
- Legs.
- Selected areas of the chest.
- Other appropriate body regions.
Different areas may require different products and levels of exfoliation.
For example, care suitable for the back may not be appropriate for thinner or more sensitive skin elsewhere on the body.
Each area should therefore be assessed before professional care begins.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BODY SKIN CARE SESSION?
The exact sequence varies according to the selected body area and skin characteristics. Not all stages are necessary for every session, and the approach may be modified or discontinued if unexpected sensitivity or irritation occurs.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE BODY SKIN CARE?
Recent cosmetic or medical procedures should be disclosed before professional body skin care.
The session may need to be postponed when the treatment area contains:
- Open wounds.
- Active infection.
- Significant irritation.
- Sunburn.
- Unexplained rash.
- Fresh surgical incisions.
- Other skin findings requiring medical evaluation.
Products used at home are also relevant.
Strong exfoliating or irritating products can make the skin more sensitive and may need to be taken into account when planning professional care.
BODY SKIN CARE AFTER SURGERY
People who have previously undergone body surgery should not apply routine professional skin care directly to surgical areas until healing has progressed appropriately.
Fresh incisions and scars require specific postoperative care.
Professional body skin care should not replace surgical wound care or scar-management instructions provided after an operation.
If the intended treatment area contains a recent surgical scar, the timing of skin care should be discussed before proceeding.

REAL PATIENT REVIEWS
See what our patients have to say about their experience and results.
From the very beginning he impressed me not only as a highly skilled plastic surgeon but as a genuinely caring person. For a long time I hesitated. He patiently listened, answered every concern and explained all the nuances in detail. He brought back my youthful appearance while preserving my individuality — something I value deeply.
We made appointments with four plastic surgeons in Antalya. Dr. Oksar was the last we visited, and from the moment we entered we felt welcome and in good hands. He examined my wife, explained the complete procedure in detail and answered every question. One day after the surgery he came to visit her in the hospital.
My experience with Dr. Seçkin Oksar for my upper blepharoplasty was nothing short of exceptional.
Dr Seçkin is the epitome of refinement in aesthetic medicine — kind, deeply passionate, and extraordinarily talented, with a meticulous eye for detail. From consultation to aftercare, everything felt calm, precise, and thoughtfully executed. His perfect English made communication effortless, and his manner instantly inspired trust and confidence.
The procedure itself was seamless: no pain, no bruising, and an incredibly smooth recovery. The result is beautifully natural — refreshed, elegant, and perfectly balanced. It has enhanced my eyes without ever looking “done,” which to me is the true mark of excellence.
This was a discreet, luxury experience delivered with the highest level of professionalism and artistry. I felt genuinely cared for at every stage, and the outcome has exceeded my expectations.
I travelled to Turkey to support my Mother in law with Dental work at another clinic. Whilst waiting for her I visited Dr H S Oksar to discuss my options for eyelid surgery. I was alone and very nervous but he made me feel very safe, relaxed and comfortable. He explained the procedure step by step and calmed my nerves. He also was able to fit me in on such short notice with only having 6 days in the Country left. The op was very quick and everything went smoothly just like he promised. He was always avaliable on what's app for me to keep checking on my progress. I am so happy with my results, I hardly have any scarring at all. I would have done this many years earlier if I knew it would be this easy. I highly recommend this Dr, he is very knowledgeable in his surgery and has many years experience.
I highly recommend to anyone considering surgery in Turkey
Dr.H.Seckin Oksar performed surgery on me two weeks ago. I was amazed how smoothly the whole process went. He is not only a doctor, he is a true artist! His manner is personable and inspires confidence in his patients. I’m one happy patient!!! Highly recommended!

Cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Seckin Oksan. I have undergone multiple procedures with him, and each experience has been outstanding. His skill, precision, and professionalism are truly exceptional. But what sets him apart is his genuine care and dedication to his patients’ well-being — both before and after surgery.
It’s not just me who trusts him — my entire family, including my children, have seen Dr. Oksan for various treatments, and every single one of us has had consistently excellent results. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found a plastic surgeon who combines medical excellence with kindness, honesty, and attention to detail.
Dr. Oksan has our complete trust, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for top-quality care.
I couldn’t be happier with my rhinoplasty experience! From the very first consultation, Dr. Seçkin Okşar and their team made me feel comfortable, informed, and confident in my decision. The entire process was smooth, and the level of professionalism and care was outstanding. My results look incredibly natural, and I finally feel like the best version of myself. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Seçkin Okşar!
I had some work done with Dr. Seckin Oksar and he did an amazing Job. I live in Canada; however, I own a place in Antalya to escape the cold winter. Dr Oksar came highly recommended by a friend of my who lives in Istanbul. I met with Dr Oksar and felt relaxed and comfortable from our 1st meeting together explaining everything to me from A-Z about the surgery. Few months later I did the surgery, and I was incredibly happy with the results feeling renewed and refreshed. He did a great Job and a year later, I had three of my friends all the way from Canada recommended by myself also performed the same surgery on them with full satisfaction. He is a great surgent and a wonderful person. I highly recommend him with no doubts.
We cannot recommend Dr. Okşar Seçkin highly enough! From the very beginning, the experience was exceptional. My first consultation with Dr. Okşar Seçkin was over a year ago, and even though my wife and I couldn't proceed immediately, he was incredibly understanding and supportive. When we finally had the opportunity to see him last October, he picked up right where we left off, demonstrating remarkable attention to detail and genuine care for our needs.
Traveling all the way from Canada, we had high expectations—and Dr. Okşar Seçkin exceeded every single one of them. His professionalism, artistry, and precision are second to none. Not only did he listen carefully to our concerns, but he also provided a clear, personalized plan that made us feel completely confident in his expertise.
The results are nothing short of amazing—natural, refined, and transformative. Both my wife and I are thrilled beyond words and feel more confident than ever. Dr.Okşar Seçkin is truly a master of his craft, and his warm, approachable demeanor made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
If you’re considering working with a world-class surgeon who truly goes above and beyond, look no further than Dr.Okşar Seçkin . Thank you for your incredible work and for making the journey so worthwhile!
Hello to anyone who is looking to have any surgery done abroad, well I'm here to tell you that Dr Seckin Oksar is a brilliant surgeon, he is so kind, down to earth and a perfectionists, I travelled from UK 🇬🇧 and my sister from colorado USA 🇺🇸 we both treated ourselves to a upper and lower eyelid surgery and what a result. We both can not praise this wonderful surgeon enough, he is absolutely amazing and our results are more than excellent, although we are only 4 weeks post surgery our eyes look amazing, totally painless experience and the hospital who took care of us was lovely. Everybody were so kind and the level of professionalism was a delightful shock. Very very good. We both Thank Dr Seckin Oksar!!
Dr. OKŞAR performed a very sucessful aesthetic surgery to our son. Him and his staff were excellent at communicating with us, scheduling the procedure and following up with post operation instructions. He is an excellent, highly qualified, polite and thorough doctor and we highly reccomend him.
I came from the UK to see Dr Seckin and his team after much research. A first class service from beginning to end starting with the doctor down to his personal assistant. I had upper and lower eyelid surgery, lip filler and also fat and stem cell transfer i am extremely happy with the results. There was no pain after the procedure and two and a half weeks later today it's hardly noticeable that I've had surgery. I highly recommend Doctor Seckin.
I had unsymmetrical dips right next to my chin, Dr Seckin was amazing, he filled the dips up without making it look unnatural, as a matter of fact no-one noticed it other than complimenting me saying I looked thinner. He is so talented, I highly recommend!!
Dr. Okşar is an amazing esthetician. I live in Chicago and every 6 months travel to Antalya to see him. No one does what he does, very personable, very educated and he is excellent at what he does. I highly recommend him everyone especially to the people that has high standards.
Dr. Seçkin Oksar is a true master at his craft with excellent standard of care, and he is also a very kind person. I travelled from Canada to see him in Antalya for revision rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, liposuction and gynecomastia surgery. I researched many surgeons, and chose Dr. Oksar because of his years of experience. I had two previous rhinoplasties in Canada which still left me with a deviated septum and unable to breathe through my nose.
Dr. Oksar fixed my breathing and the appearance of my nose in one surgery. My eyes look younger and my gynecomastia is gone!
He responds quickly to messages and will make you feel safe and assured from beginning to end. My surgeries have healed well and I feel like a better version of myself. I am so happy with my results and I would highly recommend him! Thank you Dr. Oksar!

My surgery experience with Dr. Seckin Oksar was amazing.I’m from Chicago USA. I went to Antalya to originally get a scar revision and abdominal etching as due to a previous botched surgery, I was left with a horrible keloid scar and uneven abdominal. I was very hesitant at first due to my previous experience. But Dr.Seckin is well recommended by a close friend. He made me feel at ease with the operation. He corrected my scar and did a correction mini tummy tuck plus abdominal etching. I cannot recommend him enough. He is an amazing professional Doctor.
I’m from Ukraine, and that doctor the best in Turkey, he knows his business, he is a professional. I’m recommended that clinic.
17.04.2023 я сделала две операции у доктора Сечкина. Осталась довольна результатом на 100%. Отеки ушли уже на третий день. Швы незаметны и если не знать, что была операция, то никогда в это не поверишь! Все смотрится гармонично, эстетично и очень натурально. Очень внимательный и опытный хирург, который выслушав, помог мне принять решение. Многолетний стаж работы, профессиональный подход, улыбка и обаяние делают его особенным. После того, как я проконсультировалась в Анталии со многими пластическими хирургами, именно у доктора Сечкина я получила гарантию результата операций. Спасибо хирургу и всей его команде за колоссальный труд и заботу о пациентах. С огромной благодарностью, Анастасия

WHAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER BODY SKIN CARE?
Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur depending on the products and methods used.
Aftercare may include:
- Gentle cleansing.
- Regular moisturising.
- Avoiding excessive friction.
- Avoiding unnecessary exfoliation.
- Protecting exposed skin from excessive sun exposure.
The skin should be monitored for unexpected reactions.
Persistent redness, pain, swelling or another unusual response should be evaluated rather than assumed to be part of normal skin care.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD BODY SKIN CARE BE PERFORMED?
There is no standard interval appropriate for every person or every body area.
Frequency depends on:
- Skin characteristics.
- Treatment area.
- Skin sensitivity.
- Exfoliation method.
- Home care.
- Previous procedures.
- Individual response.
Over-treatment can disrupt the skin barrier.
The interval should therefore be based on how the skin responds rather than on the assumption that more frequent treatment produces a better result.
HOME BODY SKIN CARE
Daily habits have an important role in maintaining body skin.
A routine may include appropriate cleansing and regular moisturising, particularly for areas prone to dryness.
Excessively hot showers and repeated harsh exfoliation may contribute to skin irritation in some individuals.
Sun-exposed body areas should also be protected appropriately.
The home routine can be adjusted according to seasonal changes, skin sensitivity and how different areas respond.
BODY SKIN CARE IN ANTALYA WITH DR. SECKIN OKSAR
Body skin care planning with Dr. Seckin Oksar begins with an assessment of the skin in the intended care area.
Skin hydration, texture, sensitivity, oil distribution and current condition are evaluated together with relevant medical history and existing skin care practices.
Professional skin care steps are then selected according to the needs of the area.
If examination identifies a skin change requiring medical assessment, routine skin care should not be used as a substitute for appropriate evaluation.

Schedule a ConsultationWhich body areas can receive professional skin care?
Areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, abdomen and legs may be considered depending on the condition of the skin.
Does every body skin care session include exfoliation?
No. Exfoliation depends on skin characteristics, sensitivity and the condition of the area being treated.
Can body skin care be performed on sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin can be assessed, but products and techniques may need to be adjusted to minimise unnecessary irritation.
Can body skin care treat body acne?
Routine skin care should not be presented as treatment for acne. Persistent or inflamed skin lesions require appropriate medical assessment.
Can skin care be performed over a recent surgical scar?
Recent surgical areas require specific postoperative care. Professional skin care should only be considered after appropriate healing and medical guidance.
How often is body skin care needed?
There is no fixed schedule. Frequency depends on the body area, skin type, current routine and individual response.
