STAINS THAT APPEAR IN SUMMER ARE TREATED IN WINTER
Stains that appear in summer Why are spots treated in winter?
Since there is sensitivity to the sun in summer, intensive spot treatment is done in winter. In the summer months, mesotherapy and PRP treatments have a place in treatment, but they are not sufficient alone.
WE SHOULD USE A MOISTURIZER
How should we protect ourselves?
As the humidity in the air decreases in these months, Heaters such as radiators, stoves and air conditioners reduce the humidity level even further. At this stage, it is of great importance to use moisturizers to prevent skin diseases that develop or worsen due to skin dryness. When cleaning the skin, cleansing products that are suitable for the PH value of the skin and do not cause dryness on the skin should be used. Especially people who shower frequently should not neglect their skin care and use moisturizer after bathing.
HAIR LOSS PROBLEM
Do you have any treatment for baldness?
Let's say it is a hair loss problem, not baldness. There are many reasons for hair loss. It is a priority to first investigate the cause. As treatment, we can give the patient external application treatments and vitamin supplements.
