FACE SKIN CARE
FACE SKIN CARE IN ANTALYA
Face skin care refers to individually planned professional skin care intended to support the cleansing, hydration and general maintenance of facial skin. Because facial skin can differ considerably in oil production, sensitivity, hydration, texture and response to environmental factors, an appropriate skin care plan should begin with an assessment rather than a standard routine applied to everyone.
At Dr. Seckin Oksar’s practice in Antalya, face skin care is approached according to individual skin characteristics, current skin condition, previous skin care practices and relevant medical history. The products and steps included in a professional skin care session may therefore differ from person to person.
WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL FACE SKIN CARE?
Professional face skin care involves a structured approach to cleansing and caring for the surface of the skin.
Depending on individual needs, a session may include stages such as cleansing, controlled exfoliation, removal of surface impurities when appropriate, hydration and application of products selected for the skin.
The purpose of the assessment is to determine which steps may be suitable without placing unnecessary stress on the skin barrier.
Professional skin care should not be considered a replacement for medical evaluation when there is an active or persistent skin condition.
WHY IS SKIN ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT?
The appearance and behaviour of facial skin are influenced by several factors.
These include:
- Natural oil production.
- Skin hydration.
- Skin sensitivity.
- Current skin care products.
- Sun exposure.
- Seasonal changes.
- Environmental conditions.
- Age-related changes.
- Previous cosmetic procedures.
- Medication use.
- Individual skin characteristics.
For example, a routine suitable for oily skin may not be appropriate for skin that is dry or easily irritated.
Assessment before care helps identify visible characteristics and allows the skin care steps to be adjusted accordingly.
DIFFERENT FACIAL SKIN CHARACTERISTICS
Skin is often described according to characteristics such as dry, oily, combination or sensitive. These categories are useful for general skin care planning but do not represent a medical diagnosis.
Dry skin
Dry skin may feel tight or rough and can sometimes show visible flaking. Excessive cleansing or exfoliation may increase irritation in skin that already has limited surface moisture.
Oily skin
Oily skin produces more visible sebum and may appear shiny, particularly in areas such as the forehead, nose and chin. Skin care should still avoid aggressive cleansing, as excessive removal of surface oils can affect the skin barrier.
Combination skin
Combination skin may have different characteristics in different facial areas. For example, the central part of the face may appear oilier while other areas are relatively dry.
Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin may react more easily to certain products, friction or environmental conditions. A more conservative approach may therefore be considered when planning professional care.
HOW IS FACE SKIN CARE PLANNED?
Professional facial skin care begins with reviewing the visible condition of the skin and discussing the person’s current routine.
Relevant information may include:
- Products used at home.
- Previous reactions to skin care products.
- Recent cosmetic procedures.
- Medication affecting the skin.
- Known sensitivities or allergies.
- Current irritation.
- Recent sun exposure.
This information is important because even commonly used skin care steps may not be suitable under every circumstance.
The planned care can then be adjusted according to skin characteristics and the condition of the skin on the day of the session.
CLEANSING THE FACIAL SKIN
Cleansing removes surface oil, sweat, cosmetic products and environmental residue.
The type and intensity of cleansing should correspond to the skin.
Overly aggressive cleansing can disturb the skin barrier and may contribute to dryness, tightness or irritation.
For this reason, professional skin care generally begins with controlled cleansing rather than repeated or harsh removal of surface oils.
Home cleansing habits may also be discussed because the daily routine has a continuing influence on the skin between professional care sessions.
EXFOLIATION IN FACE SKIN CARE
Exfoliation involves removing cells from the outermost surface layer of the skin.
Different exfoliation methods exist, but the appropriate approach depends on skin characteristics and current skin condition.
Excessive exfoliation can lead to redness, sensitivity, dryness or irritation. People using certain skin care products or medications may also have increased sensitivity to exfoliation.
For this reason, exfoliation should be selected and performed according to individual skin tolerance rather than automatically included at the same intensity for everyone.
HYDRATION AND THE SKIN BARRIER
The outer layer of the skin functions as a protective barrier.
Maintaining this barrier is important for limiting excessive moisture loss and reducing exposure to external irritants.
Professional face skin care may therefore include hydration and moisturising steps selected according to skin type and current condition.
Skin that feels oily can still require appropriate hydration. Oil production and water content are different characteristics, which is why moisturising products should be selected according to the individual skin rather than avoided solely because the skin appears shiny.
CAN FACE SKIN CARE HELP WITH BLACKHEADS?
Visible blackheads and clogged pores can be influenced by oil, dead skin cells and other surface factors.
When appropriate, professional cleansing may include careful management of selected surface congestion.
However, forceful or repeated extraction can irritate the skin and should not be applied indiscriminately.
Persistent or extensive acne, inflamed lesions or other skin conditions require appropriate medical assessment rather than relying solely on routine skin care.
FACE SKIN CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Sensitive skin requires particular attention to the products and physical steps used during care.
A history of burning, stinging, prolonged redness or reactions to cosmetic products should be discussed before the session.
When the skin barrier is already irritated, strong exfoliation or unnecessary manipulation may not be appropriate.
Professional care may therefore need to focus more on gentle cleansing and barrier-supportive skin care rather than intensive procedures.
FACE SKIN CARE AND SUN EXPOSURE
Sun exposure is an important consideration in any skin care routine.
UV exposure can influence pigmentation, skin texture and signs of skin ageing.
Appropriate sun protection should therefore form part of regular home skin care, particularly when the skin has undergone procedures or exfoliation that may temporarily increase sensitivity.
The appropriate sunscreen and frequency of application depend on individual circumstances and daily exposure.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FACE SKIN CARE SESSION?
The exact sequence varies according to the person’s skin. Not every stage is required for every person, and the session should be adjusted if the skin shows unexpected redness, sensitivity or irritation.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE FACE SKIN CARE?
Information about recent skin procedures and active products should be shared before professional skin care.
This can include recent peeling procedures, laser applications, injectable treatments, prescription skin medications or other interventions.
Professional facial skin care may need to be postponed when there is:
- Active skin infection.
- Open wounds.
- Significant irritation.
- Recent sunburn.
- Unexplained rash.
- Active inflammatory skin changes requiring medical evaluation.
The appropriate timing should be determined according to the condition of the skin.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER PROFESSIONAL FACE SKIN CARE?
Some people may experience temporary redness or sensitivity following skin care, particularly when exfoliation or physical manipulation has been included.
The skin should generally be treated gently after the session.
Post-care guidance may include avoiding unnecessary friction, using appropriate moisturising products and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure.
New or unusually strong reactions should be medically evaluated rather than assumed to be a normal part of skin care.

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

HOW OFTEN SHOULD FACE SKIN CARE BE PERFORMED?
There is no single professional skin care frequency that is appropriate for everyone.
The interval depends on:
- Skin type.
- Skin sensitivity.
- Home skin care routine.
- Products being used.
- Previous procedures.
- Individual skin response.
More frequent or more intensive skin care does not necessarily produce a more appropriate outcome.
The skin requires time to maintain and restore its natural barrier, particularly after exfoliating procedures.
HOME SKIN CARE AFTER PROFESSIONAL CARE
A simple and consistent home routine is an important part of facial skin maintenance.
Depending on individual needs, the routine may include appropriate cleansing, moisturising and sun protection.
Adding multiple active products at the same time can make it difficult to identify which product is causing irritation if a reaction develops.
For this reason, home skin care should be selected according to individual skin characteristics and modified when necessary.
FACE SKIN CARE IN ANTALYA WITH DR. SECKIN OKSAR
Face skin care planning with Dr. Seckin Oksar begins with an individual evaluation of the facial skin and relevant history.
Skin hydration, oil distribution, sensitivity, visible surface changes and current skin care practices are considered together.
The steps included in professional skin care are then selected according to the condition of the skin and individual requirements.
When a finding requires medical assessment rather than routine skin care, this distinction should be made before proceeding.
SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION.
Tell us about your skin and what you would like to improve. Your enquiry is personally reviewed at the practice, with clear and considered guidance based on your individual needs and goals.
Schedule a ConsultationIs the same facial skin care suitable for everyone?
No. Skin characteristics, sensitivity and current skin condition differ between individuals, so the care plan should be adjusted accordingly.
Can sensitive skin have professional skin care?
Sensitive skin can be assessed for professional care, but products and exfoliation should be selected cautiously according to skin tolerance.
Does every session include exfoliation?
No. Exfoliation may not be suitable when the skin is irritated, highly sensitive or affected by certain products or procedures.
Can facial skin care remove acne?
Professional skin care is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment of acne. Persistent or inflamed acne should be assessed appropriately.
Is redness normal after skin care?
Temporary mild redness may occur after some skin care steps, but significant or persistent irritation should be evaluated.
How often should professional facial skin care be performed?
There is no fixed interval for everyone. Frequency depends on the skin, home routine and individual response.
