Aquapeel Facial in Denizli: Medical Cleansing with Water and Vacuum

When pores become clogged, the skin gradually looks thicker, dull and rough, and moisturisers and serums struggle to reach deeper layers. The aim of a medical facial is to open up this surface, clear the pores and prepare the skin for the care that follows. Aquapeel does this with water and vacuum rather than steam and squeezing.

How Is an Aquapeel Facial Different from a Classic Facial?

In a classic facial, the face is first softened with steam, and blackheads and trapped oil are then cleared by squeezing by hand. The usual sequence is cleansing, exfoliation, toner, steam, extraction, a mask and a massage with moisturiser. This type of facial takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Aquapeel has no squeezing step. The handpiece delivers the solution onto the skin under pressure while, at the same time, its vacuum draws debris and dead cells out of the pores. Because no mechanical pressure is applied to the skin, redness after treatment fades sooner and sensitive skin tolerates the facial more comfortably.

What Are the Steps of an Aquapeel Facial?

The Aquapeel facial we carry out at our clinic has three steps. The length of each step is adjusted to what your skin needs.

1. Cleansing and peel: a solution containing a low concentration of AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) is applied for 5 to 10 minutes. Dead cells on the surface loosen and the pore openings clear.
2. Extraction: a solution containing a low concentration of salicylic acid is applied, again for 5 to 10 minutes. Because salicylic acid dissolves in oil, it travels into the pore itself, and the vacuum lifts out the oil and debris that have collected there.
3. Hydration and nourishment: in the final stage a hydrating solution is applied. Freshly cleansed skin holds moisture better and looks plumper and firmer.

Which Skin Concerns Does Aquapeel Help With?

Aquapeel is not a treatment for a skin disease; it is a facial that targets the surface of the skin and the pores. You will notice the clearest difference with:

• Blackheads and whiteheads on the nose and chin
• Enlarged pores that look clogged
• A T-zone that becomes oily quickly during the day
• A dull, lacklustre and rough skin surface
• Dehydrated skin that feels tight

A facial alone is not enough for noticeable pigmentation. If there is a problem such as sun spots or melasma, we assess the options for pigmentation treatment separately.

Can Aquapeel Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes. Skin that has been cleansed and cleared of dead cells responds better to the skincare products and treatments applied afterwards. This is why we use Aquapeel sometimes on its own and sometimes as the preparation step of a course of treatment. When the skin texture needs deeper renewal, a chemical peel or microneedling with Dermapen may form part of the plan. Which combination is suitable depends on the thickness and sensitivity of your skin.

How Does the Skin Look After an Aquapeel Facial?

Straight after treatment the skin looks smoother and brighter; a slight pinkness settles within a few hours. You can return to your usual day the same day. In the first few days we recommend that you:

• Reapply sunscreen during the day.
• Avoid acid toners, retinol or exfoliating products on the same day.
• Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, without rubbing.

When Should an Aquapeel Facial Be Postponed?

If you have an active cold sore, an open wound or an infection on the face, the facial is left until it has healed. Please tell us at your consultation if you have recently taken isotretinoin tablets for acne, if you are allergic to salicylic acid or if your skin is sensitive from sunburn. For skin prone to redness, such as rosacea, the solutions and timings are chosen more cautiously.

Aquapeel Facial in Denizli: Your Skin Assessment

Before starting an Aquapeel facial at our clinic in Denizli, we go through your skin type, the structure of your pores and the products you use together with you. This assessment decides whether the facial is done on its own or alongside a treatment plan. If your skin needs any particular preparation before the facial, we tell you at the same appointment. You can arrange your facial by phone and have your first assessment with Spec. Dr. Tuba Çelebi Kayhan.
