Over time the skin loses its vitality, uneven tone appears, hydration decreases and fine lines begin to show. This is related not only to age but also to factors such as stress, sun, city life and lack of sleep.
This is exactly where Paris Glow comes in, as a special treatment that brings the skin back to life. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Karadağ plans this treatment specifically for each individual's skin structure, aiming for a natural, healthy and long-lasting glow.
What Is Paris Glow?
Paris Glow is a mesotherapy method that hydrates, revitalises and rejuvenates the skin.
The procedure involves delivering substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hyaluronic acid under the skin through micro-injections.
As the skin absorbs these substances, its renewal process speeds up and it becomes smoother, brighter and more elastic.
It can be applied safely not only to the face but also to areas such as the neck, décolletage, the backs of the hands and around the eyes.
The effect of Paris Glow is not a temporary glow provided by make-up; it is a long-term renewal that improves skin quality in depth.
After the treatment, the skin looks more vibrant and shines as if lit from within.
The Secret Behind Paris Glow's Effectiveness
The most powerful component of the treatment is hyaluronic acid, known for its capacity to retain water.
This substance creates a moisture reserve in the skin, plumps the tissue and helps soften lines.
In addition, vitamins A, B, C and E, amino acids and antioxidants revitalise the skin cells and give a healthy appearance.
The special blend used in Paris Glow consists of formulas such as NCTF 135 HA.
This formula stimulates collagen production in the skin, fights free radicals and strengthens the skin barrier.
As a result, the skin becomes more elastic, firmer and more balanced.
How Is Paris Glow Applied?
- Skin Analysis and Consultation:
Before the treatment, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Karadağ analyses the skin's moisture balance, elasticity and general needs.
Based on this assessment, a personalised mixture and session plan is created. - Skin Cleansing and Preparation:
The area to be treated (face, neck, décolletage or backs of the hands) is cleansed with special solutions.
It is ensured that no make-up, oil or dirt remains on the skin's surface. - Local Anaesthetic Application:
To increase comfort, an anaesthetic cream is applied to the area.
This reduces the pain or stinging felt during the injections. - Preparing the Mixture:
A special cocktail containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants is prepared.
The proportion and concentration of the ingredients are determined according to skin type. - Micro-injection Stage:
The prepared mixture is injected under the skin in small doses using very fine needles.
The injections are usually made at 1-2 cm intervals so that the entire surface is nourished evenly. - Massage and Distribution:
Once the procedure is complete, a gentle massage is performed so that the serum spreads more evenly under the skin.
This helps the mixture to be absorbed more effectively. - Final Care:
After the treatment, a repairing and soothing cream is applied to the area.
The skin recovers quickly and the person can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. - Duration and Comfort:
The whole procedure takes an average of 30–45 minutes.
Only mild redness may be seen after the treatment; this usually disappears within a few hours.
What Happens to the Skin After Paris Glow?
After the procedure, the skin feels more hydrated and plump within the first few days.
Visible radiance and vitality become apparent within a few days.
The skin's elasticity increases, pores tighten and skin tone becomes more even.
Fine lines soften, skin texture becomes smoother and a “glowing” appearance emerges.
This change in the skin is not just an aesthetic glow; it is a rebalancing of skin biology.
In short, Paris Glow is a treatment that aims to support skin health.
How Many Sessions Are Needed and How Long Does the Effect Last?
Every person's skin structure and needs are different, so the number of sessions is planned individually.
Treatment is usually given in 3 to 5 sessions at 2-week intervals.
Vitality in the skin may be noticed after the first session.
The results achieved with regular treatments last between 6 and 12 months.
For more vibrant skin in the long term, maintenance sessions once or twice a year are recommended.
This routine keeps collagen production in the skin active and maintains the youthful effect.
Who Is Paris Glow Suitable For?
Paris Glow can be applied to both women and men.
It can be a suitable option especially for those complaining of dryness, dullness, fine wrinkles, uneven tone and enlarged pores.
Skin affected by the sun, a stressful lifestyle or urban pollution can benefit from this treatment.
It helps the skin to refresh and gain a “rested look”.
In special circumstances such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or an active skin infection, the procedure should be postponed.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Karadağ evaluates each patient's medical history before the treatment and determines the most suitable method.
The Difference Between Paris Glow and the “Youth Vaccine”
Both treatments aim to rejuvenate the skin, but they differ in their content and goals.
The “youth vaccine” (a mesotherapy treatment) contains a higher proportion of hyaluronic acid and aims to intensify hydration.
Paris Glow, on the other hand, supports skin renewal with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants in addition to hyaluronic acid.
In other words, Paris Glow does not just increase hydration; it strengthens skin quality in many ways.
That is why many specialists recommend Paris Glow as a more comprehensive option for people whose skin quality has deteriorated or has been worn by environmental factors.
The result: a brighter, healthier and more natural appearance.
In the video below, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Karadağ answers common questions about Paris Glow:
Possible Side Effects and Safety
Paris Glow is a non-surgical, low-risk procedure.
Mild redness or swelling may be seen after the treatment; it usually disappears within a few hours.
Bruising, tenderness or small bumps on the skin may occur in rare cases.
These effects resolve on their own within a short time.
When performed with the correct technique, under sterile conditions and by a specialist physician, Paris Glow is a low-risk treatment; nevertheless, as with any medical procedure, side effects may occur.
For this reason, the procedure must be performed by a specialist physician.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Karadağ performs every treatment under sterile conditions and personally follows up the post-treatment process.
The aim is not only a beautiful result but also a safe and comfortable experience.
Things to Keep in Mind After the Procedure
- Avoid Contact with Water for the First 24 Hours:
The treated area should not come into contact with water during the first day.
During this time, face washing, showering or saunas should be avoided. - Do Not Apply Make-up:
Because the skin still has open micro-channels, make-up products may pose a risk of irritation.
You should wait at least 24 hours before applying make-up. - Protect Yourself from Sunlight:
After Paris Glow, the skin becomes more sensitive to the sun.
When going outside, a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher must be used, and a hat should be worn if possible. - Stay Away from Saunas, Turkish Baths and Steam Rooms:
Hot environments can increase swelling and redness in the skin.
It is recommended to wait at least 2–3 days before such activities. - Avoid Alcohol and Intense Exercise:
Alcohol consumption and strenuous sports, which increase blood circulation, raise the risk of bruising at the injection sites.
These activities should be avoided for 48 hours after the treatment. - Do Not Neglect Moisturiser:
During this period the skin is prone to moisture loss.
The repairing, fragrance-free moisturiser recommended by the doctor should be used regularly. - Do Not Scratch or Rub the Skin:
Because the skin is going through a sensitive period, massaging, exfoliating or rubbing may cause irritation.
Only gentle cleansing is recommended for the first few days. - A Cold Compress Can Be Applied:
If there is mild swelling or redness, a brief cold compress can be applied to the area.
Direct contact with ice should be avoided; it should be applied through a clean cloth. - Use the Products Recommended by Your Doctor:
Serums, creams or sunscreens prescribed according to your skin's needs increase the longevity of the treatment.
Using random cosmetic products should be avoided. - Monitoring and Follow-up Appointment:
The general condition of the skin should be assessed within the first week.
