Temperatures are rising and summer has knocked on the door. As temperatures increase and sun rays intensify, our skin comes under more direct exposure. But is your body, coming out of winter, ready for sunny days?

Protecting our body, especially our skin which is the mirror of our health, and clearing it from problems while making it look better is very important to turn to dermocosmetological applications. We spoke with Dr. Merve Oflaz Gider, one of the physicians at Infinity Regenerative Clinic, which makes it a principle to maintain health status while taking care of the small changes we can make and the applications we can perform in order to welcome summer with our body in its best condition. Dr. Gider stated: "Our skin is the canvas of our body and one of our most valuable possessions. This is why we focus on skin care and applications to maintain our health status during seasonal transitions. In summer, as temperatures increase, UV rays come into direct contact with the skin, showing their effects especially between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The UV A rays we are exposed to penetrate deep into our skin, reducing collagen synthesis and causing premature aging. Additionally, UV B rays, which affect the upper layers of the skin, damage the DNA in the skin, leading to sunburns and the development of skin cancer. By renewing sunscreen every 2 hours, avoiding direct sun exposure during peak UV hours, and using protective items like hats, we can minimize the damage caused by the sun. Besides, UV rays affect collagen fibers in the skin, damaging the skin barrier. It causes an increase in sun spots and triggers skin aging. At this stage, mesotherapy applications that affect the lower layers of the skin can be performed to protect, tighten, and restore the skin to its former appearance. Thus, by brightening the skin, the desired appearance in social life during summer can be achieved in the shortest time possible," he said.

"Dermocosmetological Applications That Make a Difference in a Short Time Come to the Rescue."

Referring to cellulite, one of the main problems women want to get rid of in summer, Dr. Gider said: "Cellulite is a problem frequently encountered in many women today and becomes visible especially in summer at beaches, pools, or when wearing short clothes. Generally seen in the buttocks, legs, hips, and abdominal areas, cellulite is the orange peel appearance created by the accumulation of fatty tissue under the skin. This fatty tissue pressurizes the fibrous bands in the skin, causing the unwanted dimple appearance. Therefore, cellulite treatments are aimed at reducing fatty tissue, increasing the metabolism rate in that area, and breaking down fibrous bands. Although cellulite appearance can be reduced through weight loss, regular exercise, and healthy eating, it is difficult to achieve satisfying results. For this reason, applications that make a difference in a short time come to the rescue. In this direction, we can lighten the cellulite appearance by increasing metabolic activity through the most frequently requested applications such as sound wave therapy (ESWT), mesotherapy, subresion, and deep tissue massage (G5). However, one should not forget that the effectiveness of these treatments, applied on a personalized basis, may vary depending on the cellulite area and skin tissue damage," he said.

Cold Lipolysis Method for Regional Fat Problems

Noting that people who make vacation plans for the hot summer days are also experiencing unhappiness about their bodies and showing intense interest in body shaping methods, Dr. Gider said: "Muscle and fatty tissue play the greatest role in determining our body shape, and sometimes despite all the exercises done throughout winter, stubborn fat tissue does not melt. People who do not want surgical intervention can meaningfully reduce fatty tissue and achieve the desired appearance through non-surgical applications. Especially the cold lipolysis method, which has been in high demand over the past two months, can be an attractive option for solving regional fat problems. The cold lipolysis method, which targets stubborn fat tissue, can reduce fat tissue in an area by 20 to 40 percent even in a single session and contributes to achieving a slimmer appearance. Another method, focused magnetic stimulation device, is one of the applications showing extremely fast effects for those who want to socialize with the body we imagined this summer. It causes the muscles in the applied area to contract 35,000 times in just half an hour, tightening the area. It is planned on a personalized basis," he said.

In an age of technology where there are many applications to support healthy living and welcome summer with our body in its best condition, it is possible to respond to needs with innovative medical treatments and offer personalized solutions. Methods used to protect the skin from the sun and improve unhappy points in the body help people feel better and affect mental health as well, increasing quality of life.
