Forlle’d Skin Care

Forlle'd skin care is a facial treatment of about 60 minutes carried out in the clinic with products from Forlle'd, a Japanese professional skincare line. The line's signature ingredient is low-molecular hyaluronic acid. The treatment aims to support the skin's moisture and give it a more rested, radiant look; it is planned as part of a regular care routine for skin that is dry, dull or dehydrated.

What is Forlle'd?

Forlle'd is a product line developed in Japan and used in professional skin care. We use it in our skin care treatments at the clinic, and depending on the product, its key ingredients include:

• Low-molecular (micro-molecular) hyaluronic acid
• The natural membrane that lines the inside of the eggshell
• Skin-supporting peptides
• Pearl protein
• Diosgenin
• Platinum and gold ions in some products

Forlle'd is not a medicine or a medical treatment; it is a cosmetic treatment aimed at caring for the skin and its moisture balance.

What does low-molecular hyaluronic acid do?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the skin that helps it hold water; the amount decreases with age. High-molecular hyaluronic acid mainly forms a moisture-retaining layer on the skin's surface, while smaller-molecule forms are intended to reach the upper layers of the skin more easily. As a result, the skin looks more hydrated, softer and more radiant. The hyaluronic acid used in this treatment is not a filler; it does not add volume or fill deep lines.

What happens during a Forlle'd session?

At our clinic in Etiler, a session takes about 60 minutes and starts with an assessment of your skin. The content of the treatment is tailored to your skin type and usually includes these steps:

• Cleansing: Make-up and impurities are gently removed.
• Preparation: A light exfoliation may be done if your skin needs it.
• Care products: Serums and ampoules containing hyaluronic acid are applied.
• Mask and massage: The treatment is completed with a soothing mask and a facial massage.
• Protection: Finally, a moisturiser and sunscreen are applied.

You can return to your daily routine straight after the session and wear make-up the same day.

Who is it suitable for?

• Skin that feels dry, tight or dehydrated
• Skin that looks dull, tired or lifeless
• Anyone who needs extra care at the change of seasons, after flights or after a demanding period
• Anyone who wants their skin to look more rested before a special occasion
• Anyone who wants regular professional skin care

How long does the effect last, and how often should it be done?

After the treatment, the skin usually looks more hydrated and radiant; however, this effect is temporary and varies from person to person. To keep it up, the treatment needs to be repeated at regular intervals and supported at home with cleansing, moisturising and sun protection. You plan how often to come with your specialist, based on the condition of your skin. A lasting change in age-related wrinkles or volume loss should not be expected from this treatment.

When are other treatments more suitable?

Forlle'd treatments address the skin's need for moisture and care. More pronounced concerns may call for different methods:

• For pore cleansing and deep purification, Hydrafacial or classic facials
• For dryness and a tired look around the eyes, eye contour care
• For thin, dehydrated skin that needs better skin quality, injectables such as Profhilo
• For skin conditions such as acne, rosacea or pigmentation, an examination by a doctor and medical treatment

You can find all the options on our skin care page.

Who is it not suitable for, and when should you see a doctor?

The treatment should be postponed if there is an active infection, an open wound or a flare of a skin condition on the face.

• Active cold sores, inflamed acne or another skin infection
• An open wound, a burn, or a recent laser treatment or deep peel
• Eczema, dermatitis or rosacea during a flare
• A known allergy to ingredients, for example components derived from egg or pearl

If you experience intense redness, itching, swelling or burning after the treatment, stop using the products and contact the clinic.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Forlle'd treatment take?

A session takes about 60 minutes. The steps are tailored to your skin type.

Can I wear make-up after the treatment?

In most cases, yes. If your skin is red or sensitive, it is better to wait until the next day.

Can a Forlle'd treatment replace fillers?

No. The hyaluronic acid used in the treatment supports the skin's moisture; unlike a filler, it does not add volume or fill deep lines.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It can be, but your skin is assessed first. Be sure to mention any known allergy or a skin condition that is flaring up.
