Wolistic Center x Kanal D | Dr. Güneş Çakmak: Natural Medical Aesthetics and Longevity Trend

[00:00] Medical Aesthetic Specialist Dr. Güne? Çakmak is our studio guest. Welcome Güne? Hodja. How are you? [00:05] Thank you, how are you? [00:08] Thank you. You came with your white skin that hasn't been burned by the sun, you took such good care of your skin. [00:15] Today we will talk about the natural look, especially the realities of medical aesthetic procedures and trend changes. [00:23] Currently, looking natural is at the top of the trends, right teacher? [00:26] Definitely yes. Currently, looking natural and staying true to what is natural is the issue we care about most. [00:32] It is also the issue our clients care about most. Currently, staying true to nature. Looking "done," or having a procedure noticed, is the situation they fear and want least. [00:41] However, we have such an advantage: the procedures we do in medical aesthetics, whether it's Botox or fillers, have durations. [00:50] So it doesn't have to stay there for a lifetime. If they don't like the filler, they can get rid of it, or Botox passes anyway after a certain period. [00:55] I know there were people who had surgery etc. because the filler materials used in the past were very different. [01:02] Yes, the contents changed a lot. New fillers are FDA approved. Having clean content is very important. [01:08] Persistence periods also shortened. In the past, there were fillers that stayed for years, now we don't want the filler to stay forever. [01:18] We want materials that are biologically compatible and that the body can cope with. [01:24] Is this true teacher? For example, filler applications lose their effect after a certain time, Botox is like that too, and they need to be renewed. [01:34] But even after losing its effect, there is a rate of staying in the body, it doesn't zero out completely. Is this true or false? [01:42] This is partly true, yes. But even the water we drink doesn't leave the body 100%. It goes as much as it needs to. [01:52] But new fillers and new production Botox are very careful about these issues, the contents are much cleaner than before. [02:01] Of course, I'm talking about approved products. [02:11] There is also the concept of quality aging, which we call "Longevity." We hear it a lot lately. Let's hear the details from you. [02:19] Now the concept of Longevity is in our lives. Living healthy, living longer are among the goals of all of us. [02:26] For this, we change our lifestyle, we might take supplements, or IV treatments are included in this. [02:34] The effect of prolonged life spans on medical aesthetics is like this: we want to live until 80-90, but at 50-60, we don't want to look like the 50-60 year olds of the past. [02:47] There is a trend of looking like one's 30s. This is where medical aesthetics comes in. [03:00] It's possible to look like 50s while being 70, or like 30s while being 50. If precautions are taken at early ages and medical aesthetic applications are started early, these are possible. [03:12] Well, how do you evaluate the relationship between longevity and medical aesthetics? [03:18] As the life span increases, the desire to look good and look healthy also increases. Along with this, we want to live healthy and age healthy. [03:28] Not just living long, but living that period in a quality way and looking good. In the good-looking and healthy-looking part, the skin part, we are there. [03:43] For example, someone who had a medical aesthetic procedure and left the clinic. Everyone looks alike, there is such a perception. Especially when entering a social group. Why did everyone start looking like each other? [03:59] Actually, it shouldn't be. Because everyone's anatomy is different, mimic use is different, temperament is different. You need to make special planning for the person. [04:09] When you do what is right for them, no one looks like each other, they become the best version of themselves. This is actually about the request. [04:18] When a look becomes a trend, people specifically want it, and the physician might lean towards this a bit too. [04:27] Yes, correct. Well, Botox applications are among the most performed. Are there still common misconceptions? [04:34] Misconceptions about Botox always exist. The issue we pay most attention to in Botox is looking natural. [04:42] We aim for these lines to disappear, but at the same time, we care a lot about preserving mimics. People have big fears and prejudices about Botox. [04:49] Their biggest concern is the eyebrows lifting too high or not being able to frown, not being able to look surprised. [05:00] Their emotions are taken from them. Of course, all of these are related to dose adjustment. When you give the appropriate dose, you can stop the muscle as much as you want or leave it free. [05:11] This is about our application. We talk to the patient about this most of the time. For those who absolutely don't want mimics affected, we adjust the dose accordingly. [05:19] But there are also opposite requests: I don't want to see a single line. There, we increase the dose a bit. [05:25] Then there's no mimicry left. You look at them, they look very angry, but they have to say it verbally because they can't show it. [05:36] If that's what the person wants, there's nothing we can do. Well, when applied very frequently, when the intervals are very short, there is a thought that it loses its effect. Is it true? [05:49] Actually true. We always ask the patient for a certain interval. We say wait, let your Botox finish completely, then we do it. [05:57] After reaching the target image with Botox, the lines that appear over time with the dissolution start to bother the patient a lot because they got used to a bright look. [06:08] We have a bit of a hard time waiting there. Waiting would be much better. [06:14] Now let's come to the fillers. Naturalness should always be at the forefront in filler applications too, but sometimes we see very swollen lips, very swollen faces, cheekbones. [06:26] When not satisfied, is it possible to bring the filler back to its original state? [06:29] The material we call filler actually consists of Hyaluronic Acid, which we hear very often. Filler is essentially the state of Hyaluronic Acid turned into a biocompatible and permanent gel form. [06:40] Therefore, the filler somehow treats the area it enters. I'm talking about new fillers, never old fillers. [06:48] Approved and new fillers, high-quality fillers treat the tissue they enter. When we use a filler suitable for the area—lips, cheeks, or mid-face—we get an upward lifting effect. [06:59] Not swelling, on the contrary, thinning happens on the face. In lips, we decide this. We determine the volume, amount, and mass. [07:09] If we want it to be natural, we make an application accordingly. But young people want it a bit more prominent, then we make more prominent lips. [07:18] Styles are constantly changing. Russian style, etc. Techniques change. Used techniques change. [07:27] Again, there are applications we hear a lot lately like Salmon DNA, Mesotherapy, Exosomes. Which skin types are these suitable for? [07:34] We can actually use these in many skin types. These are related to the Longevity concept we talked about. [07:44] As age progresses, when the body's renewal capacity drops, these come into play for renewal. We get good results. [07:51] But is there a specific sequence? For example, one session of Salmon DNA then completing it with Exosomes? [07:59] We make a plan according to the person. Age, skin type, metabolic rate, diseases, used medications—all are very important. [08:14] So the main topic here is returning to naturalness. Do these same applications happen on the neck and décolleté too? [08:21] Mesotherapy, Exosomes, Salmon DNA are applied on the neck and décolleté too. [08:29] How long do these continue their effect? How often should they be renewed? [08:33] Having them done once a year is usually sufficient. Mesotherapy once in 6 months, Salmon DNA and Exosome once a year. [08:40] Also, are there applications that shouldn't be done in summer with the sun? [08:46] Applications we won't do in summer with the sun are actually those where we play with the color and pigmentation of the skin. [08:53] Pigment treatments, laser procedures, peelings, aggressive treatments are not done in summer. [08:59] But other than those, Exosomes, Salmon, Mesotherapy, hydrating and skin-nourishing applications can all be done in summer. [09:06] What should we pay attention to so as not to deal with these spots in summer? [09:11] We must definitely renew our sunscreen every 2-4 hours. Hydration is very important, we must pay great attention to our skin's moisture. [09:19] Internal hydration is just as important, we must pay great attention to drinking water. [09:24] Especially in summer heat, don't neglect water. Support from both inside and outside. [09:30] Alright then. Thank you very much, Güne? teacher. So glad you came, health to your feet.
