At Parla Deniz Aesthetic, our beauty salon in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, skin renewal is a personalised facial that combines a gentle renewal step with needle-free mesotherapy. With regular sessions, it helps your skin tone look more even and brighter, and your skin look fresher and more rested.
Needle-free mesotherapy uses no needles: a serum chosen for your skin is gently worked in from the surface with the help of a skincare device. The skin is not pierced and nothing is injected. The session is calm and unhurried. We explain how a session unfolds step by step in our post on what needle-free mesotherapy is.
This facial is designed especially for guests who:
- Notice dark spots and would like their skin tone to look more even
- Feel their skin looks dull, tired or dehydrated
- Want to add a step to their regular skincare
- Prefer a gentle option that does not pierce the skin
- Have sensitive skin and want gentle care (after checking with us first)
How does a session work?
Every session starts with getting to know your skin. At the first consultation, we talk about your skin’s needs, the products you use, how much sun you get and what you hope for, and plan your care around that.
We explain each step as we go, so there are no surprises. A session usually follows these steps:
- CleansingYour make-up is removed, and your skin is gently cleansed and prepared with toner.
- Gentle renewalThe surface of your skin is prepared with a soft step that suits your skin type. We decide which step is right after looking at your skin.
- Choosing the serumA serum focused on skin tone, hydration or radiance is chosen for how your skin looks that day.
- Needle-free mesotherapyThe serum is applied to your face and neck. The device head glides slowly over the skin to help work the serum in. You may feel a light tingling; it is not expected to hurt.
- FinishingThe session ends with a soothing mask or calming care. The last step is sunscreen.
We check in with you throughout the session. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, we pause and adjust the session for you. After the first session, we look together at how your skin responded and shape the next sessions around it.
Timing and frequency
A session usually takes about an hour. The time may vary a little depending on the steps involved and what your skin needs. You can go straight back to your day afterwards; there is no need to rest.
We plan and carry out skin renewal to a personalised protocol for each guest, so the length and frequency of your sessions may differ. In general:
- A programme of regular sessions a few weeks apart is usually suggested.
- Once the programme is complete, you can continue at longer intervals.
- You can book it as a single session on its own or as one step of our Professional Skin Care.
We plan the programme that suits you best at your first visit, based on your skin and your schedule. Coming to your sessions regularly and wearing sunscreen every day help you get the most from your care.
Preparation and aftercare
You do not need to do much to prepare. A few small steps help the session go smoothly.
Before your session
- For the last few days, take a break from retinol and products with a high acid content.
- Let us know which skincare products you use before your appointment.
- You are welcome to arrive wearing make-up; we cleanse your skin at the start of the session.
- Avoid strong sun and sunbeds in the days before your session.
- It is best not to have facial waxing or any other intensive skin service before the day of your session.
After your session
- On the day, wash your face gently with lukewarm water, and avoid rubbing your skin for the first 24 hours.
- That day, avoid the hammam, saunas, steam rooms, very hot places and intense exercise.
- Avoid facial waxing or other hair removal on the face for a few days.
- Wear sunscreen every day, in winter too; spots can look more visible with sun exposure.
The slight pinkness that sensitive skin may show usually fades quickly. At the end of the session we also give you a short home-care suggestion for your skin. Simple steps at home help support the care you have had in the salon. If anything is on your mind in the days after your session, you are welcome to message us.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is needle-free mesotherapy?
A serum chosen for your skin is worked in from the surface with the help of a skincare device, without needles. The skin is not pierced and nothing is injected.
What can I expect from skin renewal?
With regular sessions and daily sunscreen, the aim is for your skin tone to look more even, brighter and more radiant. The renewal and serum steps also help your skin look smoother and more rested. How your skin responds varies from person to person, and we talk through what you can expect at your first consultation.
Does it hurt?
No, it is not expected to hurt. You may feel a light tingling while the device is working. We check in with you throughout the session and pause straight away if you feel uncomfortable.
Will my skin be red afterwards?
It may if your skin is sensitive: you may see slight pinkness, which usually settles quickly. At the end of the session, we give you a short note on make-up and skincare for the rest of the day.
How many sessions will I need?
A programme of regular sessions a few weeks apart is usually suggested, followed by less frequent sessions. We plan the number of sessions with you at the first consultation, based on your skin, and explain clearly why.
Why does sunscreen matter so much?
Sun exposure can make spots look more visible. During and after your programme, we recommend daily sunscreen, in winter too.
I have a new or changing spot. Can I still come?
Please see a dermatologist first; this applies to any spot that is new, growing, changing in colour or shape, itchy or bleeding. Skin renewal is a beauty salon service; it does not diagnose anything and does not replace a doctor's assessment.
Can I have it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, we do not offer device-assisted care during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We can talk about a simpler facial that suits this time; just message us before booking.
