DERMATOLOGIST
Specialist Dr. Utkan Kızıltaç
Medical dermatology, aesthetic dermatology, dermatological surgery, and hair and scalp diseases: scientifically based, personalized assessment.
An approach that addresses the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological diseases and aesthetic dermatology within the same medical specialty discipline.
CLINICAL APPROACH
Scientific assessment, personalized planning.
In Dr. Utkan Kızıltaç's clinical approach, determining the correct diagnosis and indication before treatment is a fundamental priority. He considers medical dermatology and aesthetic dermatology not as independent fields, but within the scientific framework of dermatology specialization.
In aesthetic dermatology, facial anatomy, skin structure, age, and individual characteristics are all considered together. Planning involves not only determining which procedure is appropriate, but also which procedures are unnecessary or might be better avoided.
The goal is to create an approach that preserves a person's natural characteristics and is well-planned for the long term.
